Cool, send me your address. I'll install cameras in your house and broadcast the signal to anyone that wants to see it. Of course you have no objection, since you aren't doing anything wrong.
Actually i think the orginal poster is correct. What ever happened to doing something wrong, paying your debt to society, and then being able to move on?
And don't give me that shit that if you've done it once, you'll do it again. There must be plenty of people that prove otherwise..
What i'd like to know is...will they move the buttons around between voters? This would keep anyone from knowing who other people voted for. (Think fingerprints on the screen).
How would you feel if you suddenly are forced to give up a programmer's comfortable salary?
It would suck, no doubt. But just b/c i WANT to make money doing something i'd like to do, doesn't mean its my RIGHT. My salary depends on how much my company values me, if they suddenly think i have no value (or even all companies think programmers are valueless), well its time to retrain and start doing something else. Obviously i'd like the same salary, but who said it was my right to find another job with a similar salary?
Also, i highly doubt your hands would become amputated from working on a keyboard...
Where is a person supposed to learn that microwave energy can boil a pet's blood and cook its brain probably causing excruciating pain for the last few moments of its life? How does a person come to understand the interaction between microwave energy and the water throughout an object?
Um, maybe in High School? In HS physics, do you not learn about waves? Besides, you can heat a pizza so that its hot enough to give burns, maybe that temp. is too hot for your cat too?
Actually i beleive that if they do find drugs in your car, the owner is ALWAYS responsible. The idea being that you should take care not to let people with drugs into your car in the first place...
Well, not true really. If their dhcp server goes down, or has a hiccup, you'll get a different IP. I had cable, and never rebooted my linux router, yet i've had 3 IPs. Of course, that was over the course of 9 months, so it didn't change that much.
Unlike the shitty OS, the shitty MSN does have viable competition. People could (and probably) would move to AOL, or perhaps another ISP all together. I knew someone that had MSN; they only had it for a few days, and went back to AOL.
If you'd read the article all the way through, you'd see that damage may or may not be caused based on the garbage data they throw into the command blocks. They can put whatever garbage they want in there...however if they choose to put a square wave in, that is the waveform that will damage your speakers (not your player...). I highly doubt they would fill the block with the square wave, since i can easily invision someone copying a cd for personal use, then having their equipment damanaged and sueing over it.
I'd have to agree. The fact that a 3rd party buisness is deciding what to underline in yellow would suggest to that they are altering someone else's content before it gets to me. Would this not be the same as me intercepting a news broadcast and using editing software replacing say a pepsi can with coke. or, an entire story which is one of my own writing.
Fair use permits me to sit at home and modify taped broadcasts anyway i like, so long as its for my personal use. But if a 3rd party was doing this, i'm not sure if copywrites would not be violated...especially since this software installs secretly.
Sorry, but if something enters my mail box, accident or not, its mine. The person sending the email needs to take care that they don't get the address wrong; likewise, it is their responsibility not to run programs that could send mail on their behalf.
What i wonder is, if the FBI doesn't find anything once they enter my house with a search warrent, could they leave a camera behind in hopes of taping me doing something illegal. I would hope that goes beyond the 'resonable search' the 4th amendment protects. Does anyone one know how much freedom the FBI has to bug people, especially when a search doesn't turn up evidence?
I'm not so sure why ISPs should be pressured to monitor what we're doing at all. I think they have not right to suspend my account for trading files. If i'm breaking the law, the record companies can call the police and have me arrested. Its time ISPs gain common carrier status.
The problem is that if there are not restrictions, there will be no companies that don't require an SSN for example. Thats your first problem.
The second problem isthat you can't read. What i said was that companies should not be allowed to refuse service if you don't want to give up more information then they absolutly need. I didn't say they couldn't ask for an SSN, i just said they shouldn't be allowed to turn you down if you choose not to give it to them. Thats not telling you waht info you may or may not give, its tell the companies what info they may REQUIRE for you to establish an account. You say its not my place to decide how much info you give away? Well, you're basically deciding how much info i must give away.
It also amazes me how stupid people can be. You're will to sell your private information for a cheap watch, or a few cents off your pepsi. Its stupid b/c not only are you giving up your privacy (a dangerous thing to do), you're also selling yourself short. Think how much the companies pay for your info...and you get that cheap watch? How about i exchange a pencil for your wife's wedding ring? You enjoy the pencil, i'll sell the ring for a few hundred.
No, there needs to be regulations. If there aren't, a company can say 'no account for you' for not wanting to provide any information they want. They need to be told what information can be collected to establish an account, and not allowed to refuse service to anyone that doesn't want to give out more.
Nice that everyone seems to have a tv. Except that the number of people living in poverty in this country has been rising sharply the last few years. So while they may have a tv, they may not have food. TVs are so common i hardly call them a luxury..more like a comodity, especially when you can get a pos tv really cheap.
They don't have any rights to do some things only police can. They can't charge you with a crime, or punish you at all for that matter. They can't search your house (or even get a warrent for that matter). They can't sopena (sp?) phone records. The law states who may enforce the law, and right now that is only the police (in reguards to speeding violations). PIs aren't enforcing shit, they just dig it up.
BTW, it is also illegal for a landlord to include such a search clause in the contract. They are expressly forbidden to do so.
Um, please read what i wrote. I said apartment, not house. I certainly didn't own my own apartment.
And you seem to miss the point that IT IS ILLEGAL for them to get into the speed enforcement buisness at all. It doesn't matter if its in there contract if its illegal for it to be there in the first place!
No, its not their legal right to contact you. Maybe one time, and if you tell them to fuck off, they do not have any right to contact you. Are you trying to tell us that ANYONE that wants to talk to me has a legal right to do so??? I don't think so...

Is shoplifting STILL that big a deal, with the magnetic strips, cameras etc that are already in use?

Yes, but that doesn't change the that ONLY the SC can say a law is unconstitutional.
Wether or not the law is constitutional is decided in the appellate courts.
Actually on the SC can do that...

AT&T Broadband does not allow servers to be connected to the cable modem. This means that no computer in a personal network can be used as a server.
Hmm...so i can't run an SMB server on my own network no matter what? Doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Well, not true really. If their dhcp server goes down, or has a hiccup, you'll get a different IP. I had cable, and never rebooted my linux router, yet i've had 3 IPs. Of course, that was over the course of 9 months, so it didn't change that much.

Companies are so big that 'dollar votes' are insignificant.

Actually i've found a strong economy benefiting the richest 5%.
