There's an easy way out, and the women can't argue, and it actually is the only "fair" solution. Close the lid. If we have to raise the seat every time to use the toilet, then they have to raise the lid every time. I have been doing this so long, that if I am around mixed company, it's automatic.:D
During my years of consulting, I often ran into this problem myself. In order to survive, (self-employment can be perilous at first), often I had to walk that line. Whenever I could not get the owner to buy the software, I noted it on the invoice. I would always put in there what I installed, how many copies, that I had talked with the owner about it, and that they knew that they were not in license compliance. I had informed them, and that they had told me they were seeking to buy the licenses. Then I had them sign it.
That way, I had broken the license technically, but I was doing it in good faith that the owner was intending to purchase the licenses in the near future. And I kept the version with ink on it, and photocopied a signed copy for their records.
I don't know how much shielding this gave me, but at least I was showing attempt to retain legality while still eating.
All crypto can be cracked brute-force. It's a matter of horsepower and time. Question is, how much horsepower and how much time.
There is NO such thing as unbreakable encryption, just how long it takes to break it.
While the gist of what you are saying is correct, your details get a little off base man. There is not implied acceptance on her part, there never is. Yes, he had expectations, and wants, but regardless, that never grants permission.
I am not saying that you believe it does, you make attempts to correct your botched wording. Take more time with your point, to alleviate the confusion, and you won't get flamed so badly here.
The idea that myspace is to blame here, is just plain and simply retarded.
Considering that most social networking sites are high school, and college kids, wtf could possibly be gained from this. QUIT WASTING MY MONEY!!!!!
I do not see one slightest bit of useful information, except for who smokes dope, that could be gained from this stupid idea. Please, someone, tell there is a valid reason for this stupidity. Not too mention, this is questionable under Constitutional terms.
He was at home, after school hours. What he does is between him and his parents. The school has no right to say a word.
Schools control over the kids exists only while kids are at school or a school function.
Software wasn't patentable back in the 80's. Everyone tried, but they were rejected. It was held that software had IP and Copyright law protecting them. And due to the nature of writing code, I personally agree that software patents are wholely wrong. Take 50 developers isolate them and give them the same problem. How many of them will write the same algorithem? That is why software patents are crazy.
And yes people have been watching tv on their PC's, timeshifting, fastforwarding and rewinding, before Tivo was around, so how is their product unique enough to deserve a patent in the first place?
This patent should be nullified.
This kind of behavior is going to turn any last supporters of these cluesless greedy bastards against them. If Orrin Hatch can still support them in congress after that, then he seriously needs to be voted out of office.
Ah, he needs to be voted out of office anyways. Utah, PLEASE do us a favor and get rid of that moron.
If people were more open to casual yet safe sex, everyone wouldn't be locked indoors alone, and would be locked indoors with company. (probably still watching a little)
It is very obvious if you start connecting the dots, that the Feds have no interest in actually filtering porn. They want to attack porn in general. They have passed more and more convuluted laws on what it takes to be legally compliant as a content provider. They pass draconian laws like COPA severely limiting access. Finally, they completely oppose the creation of.XXX domain, that would, (drum roll) MAKE FILTERS WORK!!!!
If only it were the cable. Last year, my old roommate bought a brand new 50" HDTV. It has an hdmi interface on it. The interface does NOT support HDCP. Therefore, down-res'd signal.
More TV's do not than do support HDCP, and this is the ones with HDMI. That is the problem.
The bigger question is why is this so hard for the "boss" to understand? Let me give you one glaring example from my past.
I used to work at a very large health insurance company. (I will not name them) They used to have 30 network engineers to manage the 50 netware, and 30 Windows NT servers, and maintain all the networking equipment. I don't know how big the staff was that maintained the three mainframes, but it was large. The helpdesk was 30 people. We supported 15,000 users.
In a move to cut cost, (since IT is an expense, it doesn't make money) they laid off 27 of the network engineers. They moved the mainframes to another state, and everyone now had to access them over one T-1 line. What started to happen within six months? Absolutely no preventative maintainence. Everything was just putting out fires. Routers and switches were getting screwed up. Servers were crashing constantly. The network rings were constantly going down. And user productivity came to a grinding slowdown and long halts routinely.
Did the managers who had just saved 200G's off last years budget realize they made a mistake? Hell no, they yelled at employees for sitting idle at their desks, while they were UNABLE to reach the servers and mainframes. "Why aren't you working?" "The network is down" "So, that is the IT dept's problem, not yours" This kind of conversation was the NORM!!!!!!
You want to solve your IT problems, quit thinking like that. It is wholly unacceptable, and it is thinking like that, that should have management thrown out the door on their ass, with no severance package.
You're up to date A/V solves your problem argument is completely broken. How do viruses spread now, it's not from unprotected machines, that is only a part of the problem. New viruses can't be stopped by A/V because they can't recognize them. Therefore you need more to protect against them.

And what exactly does this solve?
Use consumer grade drives. The google drive failure report, basically shows no difference between them.
No, an illegal document has no legal protection.
So can we bill Boston for wasting our time?

Hey a music company that finally gets "it" :)
I don't remember which article talked about it, but the presenter said that almost all drivers have this vulnerability in them.
I'd almost buy it just to support the drm less music.

This makes me want to go out and purchase and XM radio. Just because they are willing to stand up to the RIAA wanna be mafia fuhqwads.
OMG, self responsibilty?! Being a parent, and taking responsibility for your kids?! What world do you come from?
You're joking right?
crap used the bold tag not the paragraph. Sorry. Next time finish first cup of coffee before hitting submit.
