While sometimes I may agree with you for moral reasons, in the eyes of the law A PROMISE IS NOT ENFORCEABLE (generally speaking). Just because someone says they will do something doesn't mean tyou can bring a case against them.
there have to be other circumstances
i.e. a law saying this specific type of promise is enforceable, contract law, etc.
The privacy statement on Northwest's website did not constitute a unilateral contract.
The language used vests discretion in Northwest to determine when the information is
"relevant" and which "third parties" might need that information. See Grenier v. Air Express
Int'l Corp., 132 F. Supp. 2d 1198, 1201 (D. Minn. 2001) (Doty, J.).
Furthermore, generally a contract consists of an offer, acceptance, and consideration
Moreover, absent an
allegation that Plaintiffs actually read the privacy policy, not merely the general allegation that
Plaintiffs "relied on" the policy, Plaintiffs have failed to allege an essential element of a
contract claim: that the alleged "offer" was accepted by Plaintiffs.
They did not even allege that this was accepted by the Plaintiffs (even if this was considered an offer)
Next, they did not seem to allege any actual damages (under contract law)
Damages are an essential element
of a breach of contract claim, and the failure to allege damages would be fatal to Plaintiffs'
contract claims. Sloggy v. Crescent Creamery Co., 75 N.W. 225, 226 (Minn. 1898).
In this case it seems the judge did what he was supposed to do: Rule on a Breach of Contract Claim.
This is not to say that the privacy policy does not suck (misrepresentation, etc). But you have to look at the Airline Dergulation Act for that.
There may even be a claim under another law, and there is no indication that the misrepresentation portion as covered by the ADA would aplly to non-airline matters.
but what about those nice bluetooth mice/keyboards and PDAs, etc?
PDAs I would think so, but doesn't a device need some sort of OS to get infected?
the again, maybe thats why my mouse will be in a different spot in the morning than where I left it the night before, plus I'm noticing more LCD droppings. maybe he has a Virus?
Yahoo, once upon a time, was also search engine. (Yes, yes, it was called the Yahoo directory, but it did eventually do crawling) And a pretty good one, too
LOL, yeah right... You really think it'll take the dealers more than 2 days to figure out exactly where the cameras are, and move somewhere else? Or spray paint the lenses black? Or just shoot the damn things, or cut the wires, or otherwise disable / destroy them?
Your absolutely right, but this would help decrease the actual area where they would be able to deal. A video would also provide better evidence as opposed, to 'he said, she said'.
this is not to say that it will eliminate crime, just have an impact, who knows what that will be 1% reduction in crime? 10%?.
Let me start of by saying that I fully understand the benefits of Surveillance of this nature, as a Maryland resident who has a cousin that is a Baltimore City Police Officer - I can tell you that they have a big problem, even without terrorists. Entire portions of baltimore look like they were hit by a bomb. Most of it is related to heroin though, and cameras would certainly help get some of those pushers and addicts off of the street (dealers see the cops, learn their schedules, etc) (I don't think that they concentrate near the inner harbor though, mostly areas near there).
Nevertheless, I am tired of always feeling like I have 'eyes on me'. The store, the highway, a stoplight, etc. not that I wan't to do anything outrageous, but being constantly observed IMO causes an individual to stiffle or otherwise bottle up things they may have done otherwise.
Now this may not be bad in every instance, but can you imagine people walking around who are forced not to engage in activities (through cameras), eventually those bottled up activities will explode as opposed to being released gradually.
People need avenues to release emotions, whether they are good bad or indifferent. If we force them to only release in their own homes, there will be no peer related checks and balances on them and people will gravitate towards every individual having their own (different) moral compass.
that is really good, but as the original poster said, the shirt looks fake, to me the eyes give it away, although they don't look 'lifeless', they still seem to be missing something.
maybe with XP, haven't tried it there. But Win2K, ive got every patch - still opens IE if you type a URL from a folder (unless there is some BS you gotta do to disable that part, becasue Mozilla is set as my default browser)
I removed every i.e. icon I could from a test system, however, the user was used to typing in url's from within folders (like my documents) - which of course brings up IE, even though it is not the default browser.
this turned into a major pain, because sometimes they would bookmark something in IE, sometimes in Zilla - then 'couldn't find the bookmark'
would want there clock to go at more than (1/60)Hz? Im trying to get MORE SLEEP, not less. Geeze, just increasing clock speed to 1 Hz, means that in a typically day, I would get.1333 hours of sleep on a good day.
I doubt that the art guys checked with the science guys before illustrating the CPU cooling design, unless that lower CPU is either A)Off or B) Magical.
the top cpu is wired with the + enrgy going out and the - energy coming in, the bottom cpu is wired with the - energy going out and the + energy coming in. They are in cereal.
(+)->(bottom cpu)-> (-)->(top cpu)-> (+)
Therefore since the top cpu is a heater, the bottom cpu is a cooler, as it is wired in the opposite diection
fans to spin at very low speeds for minimum acoustic output
Are they crazy?!?!?
give me more noise. Nothing like impressing clients when they call you on the phone! If they are into computers, you can say 'that's the computer fan it's got two overthrusters, and a 11 teen thousand rpm fan to keep it cool'
If they don't care about com-puters, you can tell them that it is the jet warming up for take off!
if you were to write someone with good ole pen and ink, wouldn't that be admissable?
If you sent them, an email? left a voice message?
What about voicemail that is stored on the carriers system?
If you don't wan't something to come back to bite you in the ass
deliver it youself
in a very short lived format
in other words get in a tinfoil room and whisper
They also made no mention about what the content is, it may very well be that they are using the information to verify time, plaes, people, as opposed to the content of the messages

There is already a device that does quite possibly everything, and rather efficiently - it's called the Universe
Try not, do or do not, there is no try
No wonder everything was for penis enlargement

It was a tasty drink! oh wait a minute.

Note: I am not for the cameras!
I would add Ignorance as well, alot of times people tend to attack that which they do not understand.

Just what I need to spend 300 bucks or more on an electronic device to hear the universe.
I have been doing this with a Sea Shell for decades

Can this be disabled?
EXACTLY, the second hand on my clock goes around once a minute! Idiot!

Admins have been forced to "Assume the position" for quite some time.

ABOUT TUX
Ballmer: The Open Source is strong with this one
Gates: The son of Linus must not become a Coder
Ballmer: He will join us, or die, my master.
So while not a pure play on a single stock, it can still suffer from some of the volatility generated in the market environment.
