I agree, why is it a crime if the person has obviously taken no measures to secure the wifi? If you're not even going to password your wifi then I don't see how I can be charged for using it.
Let's roll out the well-worn house door analogy. If I fail to fix the broken lock on my door, does that grant permission for the local hoodlums to come & take my stuff? If they do, then sure, the insurance company may take a dim view of my inaction, perhaps even refusing to pay; everyone including the police would tell me how stupid I was; but a crime was still committed.
I hope he sues, gets a huge pay-day, and the school board and the town feel the budget pinch for years to come.
Only in America would someone hope that all the town's children have to suffer with no education budget just because one kid was suspended for taking the piss out of his teachers. Maybe 40 days is excessive, but he doesn't deserve a "huge pay-day".
Woo, so the UK police are using unmanned choppers to spy on me, is that like the manned choppers also fitted with cameras which buzz my area every Friday & Saturday night? Once again I'll ask anyone complaining about civil liberties - what exactly is being lost here? I would imagine that it's not for peering into homes, there would be much rumpus if the police did try to use such evidence in court (I've never heard of it), and if that's really such a worry, well, close your curtains. And remember that people could also peer into your house from the ground.
I'm not attempting to start a flame-war here, but the percentage of those sites that end in ".php" is remarkably high...
Ok, so inept part-time programmers like to pick up php and run with it - but what does that prove in terms of "flame-wars"? I could code something just as dumb in Perl - but then if I were unskilled enough to code admin access in such a fashion I wouldn't pick up Perl.
Can't have that. People can't be held responsible for what goes on in their computers. After all they're big magical boxes and the public is just so stupid.
This is where it pays to use Outlook&Exchange, because that program hides the addresses in forwarded messages (all you see is the name). And you said there would never be a reason!
Interestingly, the old quote quote probably never uttered by Spock was, "it's life, Jim, but not as we know it". By searching for methane & ozone etc, and by making assumptions when they conduct an analysis, they are simply looking for life as we know it.
The telescope will orbit at a distance of 1.5m km - is that true? That puts it outside the orbit of the Moon does it not? About four times as far in fact? Wow, so this thing isn't designed to be serviced then. (wiki says Moon's apogee is 400,000km.
I know this is fun an' all, but aren't the takedown notices directed at the program BackupHDDVD plus keys, and identifying them as such? Blathering on about a bunch of hex might be to their advantage since they won't be using that string again. Maybe it's our duty if anything to carry round that prog on our thumbdrives. But still, it's fun...
I visited and saw 'recent tags' first, five hex pairs, I thought someone was trying the poison the tag system. Then I saw a story with a huge string of hex as a tag. I thought someone was REALLY trying to screw up tags. Then I read the summary.

And anyone using their Xbox & XBMC on their desktop needs their heads examining! It goes under the TV.
No, instead of dragging out one show over five seasons, they spin off a companion show" and play out those extra seasons to ever diminishing returns.

In the UK, this case cost the taxpayer £18.4m. All to prosecute a gang who made precisely £0 from their activities.

Sorry what's this "television signal" you refer to? Would the loss of this affect my torrent TV channel in any way?
AOL got upset, as I recall (AIM vs GAIM)
Well, at least no-one mentioned cars.
In that spirit, I hereby copyright the phrase "THIS IS A KLUDGE"
