Since SCO has stocks issued to the public, aren't they required to fill out the proper paperwork? How does one who own SCO stock supposed to sell his stock? Can they do this w/o getting sued by their share holders?
I wish I was a judge and in on this case. I would listen, give the defense plenty of leeway - i mean make them think they won - and then slap the idiot kid so hard with the book that his great great grandfather would feel it. Then try and get the stupid lawyer disbared.
THe problem with banning guns is that the only people who will not have the guns anymore are the ones who are responsible enough to own them. Basically, the criminal will get a gun on the black market (as he does now), while the law abiding citizen who wants one for protection is screwed. I have had a gun placed to my head once (less then a month ago)...pretty damn scary....wish I had a gun on me. When they left i would have shot em in the back and done the world a favor.
Another problem with banning guns in the US...we are so saturated with guns, it would be damn well nigh impossible to get rid of them all.
Don't lawyers have to follow some ethical code that they pledge to uphold after taking the Bar? Doesn't this code basically state that you should do everything possible to win for your client except do something unethical (like lying). Otherwise, a lawyer should just fabricate evidence for each of their clients.
Well you know the "Each man is responsible for his own actions" doesn't apply since GTA came out. I mean, didnt you know, killings only happend after GTA was released on the market; prior to that nobody was ever murdered.
Doesn't this fall under frivolous law suits? I hope the makers of GTA get to sue the crap out of the lawyer who decided to sue them. I can only imagne the conversation he had with your client "No son, it is not your fault that you 'popped a cap in their ass', it is the fault of one of your computer games."
Hey thanks a lot! This has to be one of the best utilities I have ever seen for the graphically challenged. My co-worker saw me working on this and she knocked me aside to copy the URL:)
they can suspend my account for breaking TOS or that they can sue me for breach of contract for breaking TOS? The latter seems pretty one-sided considering I'm the only one who made any promises.
Nobody said a contract has to be fair, it just has to be legal. If you agree to a crappy deal that is your fault. Besides, they make a few promises of their own and as long as you follow the rules (which are generally fair) you are ok.
but I'd still expect someone to get in trouble if I caught em at it.
And without a specific law for it, you are going to have a hard time getting them in trouble.
At what point does the sidewalk outside become the property inside?
Do you own a home? Did you know, if someone slipped on the sidewalk in front of your home they can sue you and win. It is your responsibility to maintain its cleanliness (i.e. snow) even though you do not own it.
Also, if you have a big "open house" sign up, with a bunch of small print saying what folks can and can't do you certainly have the right to kick people out who don't follow your rules (actually, only if it doesn't break laws as you say) but can you also sue them?
If your visitors can easily tell there is some contract listed (i.e. big letters reading Terms of Service) the rest of it can be microprint, as long as the readers can access it within reason (i.e. you provide the microscope). The only important aspect is that your visitors know it is there - if they choose to ignore it, then that is their fault. And if the terms of service allow for lawsuits then you can.
But there is also reasonable actions people can expect to take. Must I really post a big sign on my website "Do not steal my custom graphics or you will be sued"? A bit of common sense tells you that the graphics were created by someone else, and that you should at least ask for permission before redistributing. I guess I fall back to my previous statements (in other posts) "everything in moderation":)
If their EULA says this can happen, they are legally obligated to make it happen (they wrote the contract). Call them back, read the EULA to them. Then fax it if they don't believe you (or scan and e-mail). Then when all is said and done, if they cannot PHYSICALLY change the data (and that's bs, because all we are taking about is some data on some server) they can give you a free cd key. It has to be free so they honor their EULA.
Actually, my personal/business web page should be pretty much down. I was in the process of moving to another ISP but have been to busy to complete the process. If you want a sample of my work, ne-eye.com and afaeh.org are site' that i designed. The afaeh.org does is not complete due to the owners not providing me the data that I need.
One thing I know many people to do in the past - while they offer great looking sites to their customers, they do a half-assed job on their own sites for whatever reason.
The last webpage i designed. I had one brochure and was asked to design it. The site is up (i am not 100% happy with it) and they are giving the site information out (they seem to be happy with it), but the actual data is not complete (it's liking pulling hairs from a dolphin).
Yea content is key (thats the point of the site). I love flash, i hate waiting for some insane flash page that just says "loading"....Flash can be done in great ways - most people botch it up - so I agree it can suck...i think design is the most important. If someone makes a poor looking web page, people won't even bother to give the information a fair shake.
Lets make a black background with forest green text;)
Nothing is wrong with using white, I just find that when I design web pages I try and avoid the white background - why? Because so many people use it...Maybe a cream color? I think/. is a great layout (except that one time they put the god awful puke/beige color I believe it was). I like the green/blue layout schemas:D
until someone finds out and sues you for copying their code, layout, etc.
And yes some company (I wont name) copied my companies site (even the text word for word)... once we found out, their site was taken down on pain of lawyers.
The most important thing you need to realize about a website is the color scheme. Website layouts are easy to make (use CSS to help save your life in the future)...but coming out with eye appealing colors is so key. We want it to be original so we avoid colors like white, but we don't want it to hurt/offend the eyes.
This tool came from Giant, one of the best anti-spyware program writers. As far as I know, the only thing MS really did was relabel the program and make it free (it was a pay program before.)
As for the grandparent poster - his analogy was poor - MS didn't leave the dirty sponge inside the patients body. It might be better to say that MS didn't seal up the cut to the persons body very well, allowing malware to enter it. In actuality, Windows and all its apps are huge - there is bound to be errors, bugs, etc. Nobody is perfect. People find exploits in MS products...just like people are finding exploits in Firefox. Soon people will find exploits in Linux, as it becomes more main-stream (right now it is still really geek-stream).
I like this anti-spyware program (was Giant's). I use it in place of adaware and spybot (which i used previously).
While active-x, IE, and windows has its security holes - your statement makes it sound like it MS's fault for all of these spyware/virus programs. In all reality, it is the fault of the spyware/virus writers - they just found exploits in MS. So lets pass the blame accordingly.
It is very nice of MS to offer this program "free" - considering they paid a big chunk of change for it. I don't actually consider it free, just an add-on to the OS that I already paid for.
Thats an arguable statement. I can make paper forged documents a lot easier then i can electronic ones...in fact I don't know how to fake the message-id header.
I think that any document entered to court should be validated and proved 100% authentic before it is admissable.
I do agree that the laws for evidence should be the same. If you accidentally send that incriminating document to someone who was no the intended recipient, it doesn't disqualify your document and its intent.

Opened just fine for me...quick...almost too quick actually {shifty eyes}

Hold on. let me google that answer for you.

Heh, I played the SIMs...the same night I had my baby - social services came and took him away... every single time too.

I was about to, and i had this foreboding feeling - i ignored it and clicked anyhow...just got back from the bathroom....thanks PAL!

instead of being modded redundant, could i get an answer...freaking idiot mod.
It would be easy to fake any e-mail you want on a system you control. seriously, laughably, easy.
Know your IT staff
Love your IT staff
Pay your IT staff better then the other person
Pray your IT staff doesn't sell you out
