    How about reading the AOL website, dipshit.

    "Systemax AOL Intel Celeron 2.0GHz / Microsoft Windows XP Home / 17-inch CRT / 256MB DDR / 40GB HDD / CD-ROM / Lexmark Ink Jet Printer / 1 Year Warranty / Desktop PC"

    or further down,

    "Of course, the AOL Systemax PC runs on the award-winning Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition operating system for incomparable performance and stability."

    or even further down,

    "Specifications Operating Systems Windows XP Home Edition"

    Don't listen to these assholes. If I still programmed in C++, I'd definately consider using VCF.

    It's only that easy if the basis of the lawsuit is recognized in both states. For example, someone crashed into you and didn't have insurance.

    If it was as easy as you claim, the feds wouldn't have had to pass laws such as the child support collection law. The same issue is coming up again with gay marriage.

    As other people have mentioned, some states prohibit or strongly discourage non-compete agreements. If he moves to one of those states, Seagate may have a hard time collecting with their MN judgment.

    Just like if you order a bunch of stuff from a store in CA, have it shipped COD, and then decide not to pay, because "tee hee I'm in NY, what's a CA court going to do about it?" Simple, swear out a warrant, or try you in absentia.

    Not like that at all. Criminal is different than civil. You have to be in the same state in most cases to collect on a civil judgment. If you're not, it's a huge pain in the ass. All this guy has to do is move out of the state and keep all of his assets out of the state. In most states, in 10 years or so, the judgment will be automatically cancelled unless the winner refiles to continue.

    So what if he goes to another state to work for WD? What is a Minnesota court going to do about it then?

  7. Re:Keeping Up With Technology on DVD-Watching Driver Charged with Murder · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You're only looking at the small picture. There are *many* people that believe that, unless something is expicitly illegal then it is legal. While they are wrong, as you point out, they do happen to sit on juries all the time. Some of these people are so dense that it doesn't matter how much the prosecuter or judge explains the law, unless they can read the "no DVD players in cars" law themselves, they won't convict.

    What really needs to happen is to have a minimum IQ for serving on juries.

    Got a link to back up that story? Most restaurants reserve to the right to deny service to anyone, and they do so legally (as long as it isn't in a broad stroke to a protected class).

    There ARE many free ones, you just haven't done enough searching. I can find at least 5 free DNS providers (with dynamic capability) in 5 minutes. First one that comes to mind: xname.org. If you can't be bothered to search, then pay for it.

    So you've given me one that doesn't allow TXT records, I've given you one that does. We can continue this give-and-take if you wish.
