Make it illegal to talk on the phone while driving then. She'll get a ticket and learn to stop or pay the price. If she hits someone she's liable. You're advocating for the government to preemptively take away our rights even if some of those rights aren't harmful in any way (how many times is it helpful to have a passenger call someone en route). Life is risky every time you walk out the door. Where do you draw the line at taking away people's freedoms to protect yourself? Consider how often pedestrians are hit by motorists, you have to draw the line somewhere. The best way to respect people's rights is to make actual wrong doing illegal. I think anything else is selfish.

I really wish that the first thing he had done upon learning of the tracking device was contact the ACLU. I find this so disconcerting. I hope someone stands up to this type of government tracking so we can get some momentum going to protect our civil liberties.
Your post seems to be making the point that this was conceived as a cost saving endeavor. I highly doubt apple or the other companies involved were concerned about having to pay the market price for their employees, I'd bet they're well compensated.
It seems more likely that this was much more about not losing key members of their team with valuable training, trade secrets, and project time invested. In such a time sensitive and competitive market losing a team lead could seriously sabotage an important product.
I disagree. Any thorough engineering degree encourages critical thinking. If you're unable to understand how and why the rules came about then you're less likely to understand their implications and use them properly. That's why engineering courses have prerequisites in math in physics. Otherwise you'd just take survey of cal like every other business major and only know it's basic applications.
I would argue that, of radicals, engineers understand the most effective way to cause people to take notice of their views.
I don't think it's the small scale mom and pop growers these farms would be competing with... Any move we make to curtail the growth of Mexican drug cartels the better, not just for us but for Mexico too.
However uncomfortable jokes and parody's may be it comes with the job of working with youth. If you're unable rise above parody's created by students you have no business being in charge of children. TFA states "...no one, including the principal, took the profile seriously..." Stuff like this happens all the time it's just not often recorded on the web. If you're being considered by an organization that takes such things seriously you should be concerned about where you're applying.
It's most likely you can't know alleged criminals names for their protection. A concern I have with current US society is the media's influence on our views of 'alleged criminals'. If you're in a high profile case and it turns out you're not guilty the inertia of public opinion against you for being accused can haunt you for the rest of your life. I believe these laws are in response to such situations.
It's true that bandwidth and infrastructure cost real money and it's not unreasonable to charge people for them.
What is unreasonable is allow a company with a monopoly to charge whatever they want for people using higher tiers. When these people don't have an option to change to a competitively priced plan in their usage tier then the market is failing that segment of people. This seems to be what the legislation is trying to address.
When I saw this article I immediately realized I played with all of the toys you listed as a child. Some other toys in the same vein I enjoys as kid are:
That's probably not accurate seeing as how the number of songs bought at 6pm would probably greatly differ from those bought at 6am. Chances are you were checking at a peak time in purchases.
I'd like to preface by saying please don't kill me. I really don't think Linux desktops are easy to use for average users. As long as you don't want to do anything that didn't already come preloaded and configured properly its fine but outside of that you're in a world of hurt. Not only that a good number of peripherals don't work out of the box with Linux and almost all lose features because the applications for them come for windows. That's just my two cents.

No, no, that's a feature of physics

Hey, I've got a great idea! Let's rack up huge legal expenses while we continue to lose profits! ...Then we can save our industry, we'll be heroes.

You mean grad school?

People will e-bay it internationally for cheap soon. I wouldn't worry about it.

The government taxes most property that creates revenue.
Houses gain equity, labor produces profits, Cooperations earn revenue, and IP earns money on copy rights; it follows perfectly.
Interesting argument.
(most IP isn't personal property anyway)
If you were going to get the internet you would have gotten it by now.

That makes me so happy. I thought there was going to be a format war with hd-dvd and BR but now its already won. go PS3!
