    Well, you've demonstrated your idiocy and low reading ability...

    It was rather obvious the post was in reference to the past when I was in HS as well. The words "could have" and "used" indicate past tense. I guess you failed English class.

  20. Re:Fraud != Theft on Corporate Identity Theft on the Rise · · Score: 0

    You can steal intellectual property if it is information that could not be reinvented, guessed, or regenerated by a seperate party.

    For example: company A generates performance statistics yearly for each employee for 20 years of operation. Each year's worth of data is unique and unreproduceable, obviously because no day is the same, no employee is the same, and the employee roster changes monthly.

    If competing company B gains the information through illegal means, it has stolen the information because it would have had absolutely no way to independently generate this particular data set on its own.

    Sure my example may be a little contrived, but the concept still holds.

    Ahh.. so:

    You're not a lawyer.
    You have no idea what you're talking about (you confessed yourself).
    And you're blathering on about what you think is law but may not be, by your reckoning.

    Why are you here? Why are you posting? Why are you wasting time? Why do you even bother if you have nothing to add?

    I am sick and tired of say nothing, know nothing, are nothing, fat-headed, little keyboard commando geeks spewing all sorts of drivel just to hear themselves speak.

    "Driving down a mountain on the footbrake is only for the dumb"

  24. Re:I don't buy it. on A Car With A Mind Of Its Own · · Score: 0

    "No brakes? They're stronger than the engine."

    Ummmm... no. When you're doing 60-120mph and your brakes are fighting a surging engine, your brakes will overheat and become useless. In fact, your rotors will become red hot and warp when they overheat.

    Brake overheating usually happens if you're driving down a steep mountain road and you hold the brake too long OR you're an Indy 500 race car driver...

  25. Something is not quite right on A Car With A Mind Of Its Own · · Score: 0

    Why not just put the gear in neutral? The engine will rev and might blow, but you could roll to a stop. If it were a newer car, it probably has an automatic shutoff when the engine is about to destroy itself.
