Contact your old client and discuss the situation. Make sure you go above the web developers head. Don't try and rock the boat too much, it is their code, but explain the trouble it has given you for your portfolio and that you would like some credit as well if they are going to put specific names in the copyright notice.
People are reasonable and you're not asking for anything that will affect their bottom line or reveal any confidential info. Just be reasonable yourself about it.
But that is not established until conviction or aquittal. Before that, the law treats him as an innocent suspected of guilt, which put all burden of proof on the state. He doesn't have to say anything at all to them, they have to do all the work. If his drives are encrypted, they need to crack it or find his password from somewhere other than his head
I don't have to go half way or any way to prove my innocence, it's a given until a judge says otherwise. I could be found holding a bloody knife in one hand and some guy's head in the other and I would still be legally innocent. That's how the system works. It works this way to make sure that people who are innocent are not convicted. If you have 10000 guilty go free but one innocent spared from conviction then the system is working as it should. A persons liberty is held paramount above all other things.
As for this case, if the files they had were enough to convict they wouldn't bother with the other drives until after the trial, and then they'd trade the password for lesser sentence.
What people seem to forget is that the man accused of having child pornography is innocent. Everyone is until proven guilty. An innocent man doesn't have to answer to anyone, he is innocent. The courts have already given the police and the DA free reign to do what they want to try and break the encryption, but they can't make him give the password because he's innocent, they don't have anything to say otherwise and if they did, they wouldn't need to get into the hard drives
Actually it has more to do with the presumption of innocence. You don't have to answer any questions because you are an innocent person. If they have enough evidence to show otherwise they don't need to ask you any questions.
Until the judge bangs his gavel and says guilty, I am innocent under the law. I have done no crime, that is the assumption. I don't have to answer the question "Did you commit this crime?" because the law already assumes I didn't. I can sit and not say a word for the entire process because it's not my job to prove or disprove my innocence, it's assumed. Many people get offended when stores want to search their bag when they're leaving, why? Because the store is assuming they're guilty. This assumption is taking away from your liberty and happiness. The government takes the high road and assumes you are a good and honest person in all situations until the judge finds guilty. This isn't a matter of making things easier or tougher to solve crimes, it's a matter of living up to an ideal. The ideal that everyone is an innocent person.
You remove the 5th amendment you remove a major tenant in the idea of innocent until proven guilty.
No the telecommunication monopolies here in Canada aren't here because the government wants them, rather the government needed them (and paid for them) to just get the service. Canada is a very WIDE country, with huge swaths of empty nothing. And we don't have a huge population to make wiring it up all that appealing (or profitable). It's expensive to do anything nationwide in Canada and there aren't a whole lot of local companies with deep enough pockets to pull it off.
What we really need to do is get rid of the Canadian content laws for telecommunication businesses
The fixed term contract makes your business worth more as an asset than if it didn't have the term. The poor service comes from monopolistic situations where your bad press about the service doesn't matter because there's little choice.
The Playstation 3 was launched in 2006, the Playstation 2 was in 2000 playstation was launched in 1994. Xbox was 2001, xbox 360 was 2005. Similar time frames were with Nintendo about 6 years between consoles.
So an extra 1-2 years between generations is excessive?
I never said I agreed with the reasons, I just explained why. If you're going to refute something, you better know the position of the other side through and through otherwise you could be blindsided.
Everything has a reason, not all reasons are good.
A 3rd party will never work with the electoral college or a popular vote. either the 3rd party will fail and voters will turn their attention to one of the candidates who is closer to their ideals and vote for them, ending the 3rd party, or the 3rd party will become popular and one of the other parties will disappear as their voters flock to the 3rd party. A one vote system with a directly (or nearly directly) elected executive will always turn into a two horse race. Hell even in parliamentary systems where the prime minister is not directly elected but decided by MP numbers you usually have two dominant parties with the 3rd parties filling in the room. Proportional voting that give a person more than one vote to work with, or run-off voting will allow much more possibilities for a 3rd party to get any traction
But then the two major parties wouldn't want that.
No I agree the sticker price should be after tax, I was just explaining WHY it is what it is here. The gov't wants you to know exactly what they are taking and the retail establishments want to only put the lower price on the sticker. the reason it's not separate with gas is because we pump before we pay and it's metered. If it was pay before pump the could easily have it as a separate item.
There are reasons for everything, they may be stupid reasons but there are reasons.
Every hardline in North America still can use pulse. It's required. So the computers that run the switches understand pulses (also it'll work on any phone, just hit the button to hang it up enough times to dial). My Grandmother in law never got touch tone, so she was never charged for it. Until there isn't a single client that has pulse only service the fee could be argued as valid.
At least in Ontario and Canada for the GST the taxes are separate so that you know exactly what you are paying and it is broken down. So the store IS charging $25 for the toaster, and the gov't is taking an additional 13%(in ontario). They thought about having both prices on the tag, but that was lobbied away as being to complex to implement.
Bell isn't a true monopoly. Not anymore anyway. They are a defacto monopoly because when deregulation happened Bell was not forced to sell of their lines, or spin ownership of them into a separate company.
They are required by law to share, and do so as begrudgingly as they can.
The Fees are historical. They were added on at a time where the service was controversial, so they were separated from the service price in an effort to be transparent. But now that those services are common and expected, they leave the fees there so their advertised price will be lower than the actual price. Right now I'm paying $50 for a service that was advertised to me for $30.
I'm not happy and intend to leave, but my line was in bad shape so I'm having work done on it so I don't want to change my service and end up keeping the temp line strung above my driveway for a couple years (This has happened before). The only reasonable internet in my area is DSL so I need that line fixed first.
On my Landline, I have a 911 fee, I have a network access fee and I have a touch tone fee.
Yes a Touch Tone fee. Bell Canada has not moved the extra fee for touch tone service into their service packages. I cannot get a new pulse line, nor can I have touch tone removed from my line. There are customers who still had only pulse and so they did not get charged this fee, but you had to actively refuse touch tone service when it was being rolled out. This was ~25 years ago.
911 fee is from when 911 was being rolled out and was mandated by law. Bell put the fee there to show that it was required by law and that's why your bill was higher than before. This was 15-20 years ago.
The network access fee is the fee for Bell Canada to connect to it's own network. This was from when their monopoly was dismantled and 3rd parties were given access to their lines. Bell Canada's end user arm had to pay for access to their network. So they put in the fee to explain why the bill was higher. This also was 15-20 years ago.
You give Bell a reason to put in an extra fee, they'll take it and never give it back, no matter how unnecessary it has become.
Courts are seeing that the cell phone contains far more private info than would normally be found in someones pockets. On the surface a cell phone would be open season without a pin code, but if you delve deeper it's more like you're carrying your filing cabinet with you at all times and should be treated as such.
The Trades have been overlooked as a viable career choice for quite awhile. And there's great money in it. My mechanic, being one of the few truly honest ones in the area, is turning business away he's so booked (Yes he is expanding to meet demand).
The trouble with trades these days is you often get the bottom of the barrel guys without many other options available (One could say the same for police, but that's a whole other story). So your mechanics, plumbers, electricians often won't give a crap about the client and only the pay-cheque. When you find an honest trades person you are loyal to a fault and become their greatest advertisement.
So yeah push those who might not the top of the heap academically but aren't the bottom by any means into trades.
Yes, they might be losing money, but you'd have to show them that. There's a tonne of work that'd you'd have to do to show that spending $10 million now will save them $50 million over the next 10 years or so. Then they still have to justify the outlay of $10 million all at once where the $50 million will trickle in and would be barely noticeable amongst the rest of the balance sheet.
That's actually how IBM stayed in business. Make the upgrade seemless and painless. The old software still works fine, new stuff can be included as it goes. The cost of upgrades is included in service contracts.
What it boils down to is that you have to sell the idea to joe investor who wants to make sure his dividend is paid out each quarter and that the value of this stock goes up so his asset sheet says looking good. Most investors don't give two sh!ts about what the company is actually doing.
There are $500 bottles of beer, they're just rare. Actually that's the reason they're $500.
Expensive wines are expensive for two reasons: They're very good wines and they're rare. Only so many bottles can be made in a particular year and so they are sought after when they're good. So the price goes up. Beer doesn't last as long, you can't have fifty year old vintages of a beer. A fifty year old oak keg of beer will have some nasty swill in it rather than anything you'd want to drink.
Since beer goes bad, you don't have the rarity. So the really expensive beer are the batches from monasteries and other limited run breweries that are known for their high quality.

Yeah but that still doesn't prove HE did that work, only that there was no copyright notice before.

say nothing because you are innocent and have nothing to answer for

you cannot be subpoenaed to testify against yourself.
A search warrant to ask you questions, well that could work, but the evidence needed for that warrant would negate the need to ask you those questions
Actually it has more to do with the presumption of innocence. You don't have to answer any questions because you are an innocent person. If they have enough evidence to show otherwise they don't need to ask you any questions.

Hard to do in Canada without foreign investment. Building a nationwide network is hugely expensive
No the telecommunication monopolies here in Canada aren't here because the government wants them, rather the government needed them (and paid for them) to just get the service.
