Defaulting the TOS to presuming this is not the same as Actively Requiring you to check if this is ok.
Hiding things in contract text is an act of defrauding - we're talking Aunt Milly here, she expects you to do what she told you, she's not a lawyer and she doesn't really get these computer thingies.
Under commerce laws, a contract is signed between a consumer and a company to perform a service.
The NON-action of that service - the unwanted gift ORDERED and PAID FOR by the consumer Aunt Milly - is a direct and actionable defrauding of service and a contractual BREACH by Amazon.
I smell a massive consumer lawsuit that Amazon will lose.
Amazon enters into the contract to deliver the goods and services specified. They are the AGENT of Aunt Milly.
Anything other than a good-faith effort to fulfill that contract is an act of FRAUD.
While you can't shut down botnets in-country, you can shut down entire countries if they start launching attacks, severing their undersea cable and communications satellite connections, reducing the activation of more attacks.
Which is why we maintain the ability to pull the plug on China, who persist in using their military to launch attacks on US sites.
Obviously, the activist neocon Supreme Court will rule on the side of Corporations, since they are People, and we "citizens" are only their serfs and must be subjugated to their iron-clad rule.
The bonus part for me is I'm a dual citizen of both the US and Canada and under Canadian law have a constitutional right to Privacy that is continually violated by these guys. And Canada doesn't think Corporations are People. Neither does the EU.
"France does it" is never a good justification for a military strategy. In fact, "France did that" is generally a good reason not to repeat it...invading Russia, getting into a fight in Indochina, occupying a Muslim country, etc.
Um, we're wasting how much in Iraq and Afghanistan and you think France - which is actually attacking al-Qaeda where they actually are (not Iraq or Afghanistan) is doing it wrong?
More than half of this is what we would call under the table payments to "operatives" in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and Yemen and Somalia who then turn around and use the US cash to finance attacks against the US.
Time to kill the Black Budget (which is "off the book") and daylight everything.
France does it - and they're busy attacking al-Qaeda in Somalia where they actually are, whereas the US is in Iraq and Afghanistan where al-Qaeda HAS NOT BEEN for FIVE years.
You don't have to itemize the people involved, just the dollars involved in large groups.
Have to agree with you. I find PvP deathly dull - maybe because I spent way too much time in the actual Army doing the real thing. Give me a solo story-based adventure in Diablo any day of the week.
My son gets on my case for playing WoW without teams and not doing all the PvP but rather doing the story elements. If I wanted PvP, I'd ask for PvP - but Diablo II was one of my faves because it worked very well as a solo game and allowed you to interact with other players only when you wanted to.

FUCK. It's not like entering someone's home, it's like turning to the same channel they're talking on on a CB. THEY ARE BROADCASTING IN THE CLEAR. THEY HAVE NO FUCKING PRIVACY!
Maybe not in America.
But they do have the Right of Privacy as People in Canada. And in the EU.
What is legal in one country may be an unconstitutional illegal act in another country.
Try doing what you're talking about in Tianamin Square in China. You'll see that different countries have different rules - FAST.
Is there a way to sign up for this? Does it impact organ donor status or anything else?
For most human brain studies, they tend to want to study health over a period of time. Recruitment normally is done by each study center, and generally takes a day a year and consent for emergency harvesting when you die (since the time windows are so short), since imaging only tells us some of what we gather when we actually have the (not working any longer) brain upon death.
Here at the UW we harvest thousands of brains for various medical studies, and generally freeze half of the brain and slice up the other half and stain that half with various dyes, while taking electrical and other measurements within a few hours of death.
While an approach like this described in the article might be useful for things like Pick's Disease, it would pretty much prove useless for Alzheimer's Disease, since that is an age-appropriate measurement of tangles and neurolytic fibers.
Things like childhood diseases or other gross abnormalities might be interesting.
But if you want to know if you'll get Alzheimer's it has a lot more to do with the exact APOE genes you carry and your general cardiovascular health and brain injury risk factors than it does other stuff. And by the time you harvest these brains it's way too late.
And things like Parkinson's are more about mitochondrial failure to function correctly than about general brain health - it's not just your brain, it's the rest of your body too.
My icon on FB was a pic of the Seattle Space Needle with a rainbow flag on it, but FB still has advertisers acting like I watch Fox News and like NASCAR, so I'm not that worried about it.
Even if I am straight, liberal, and think NASCAR is a waste of gas.

the batteries of lawyers
By any chance, do those batteries explode like the ones in laptops?
No, those are the ones sent via FedEx.
"presumably have you opt in"?

If I were UPS (also a Seattle company like Amazon), I'd be firing up the batteries of lawyers for the class-action lawsuits as we speak.
No, Aunt Milly would have to opt in to it.
The defrauding is in the contract between Aunt Milly and Amazon, not the contract between the intended recipient and Amazon.

Seriously, Google doesn't owe you a living, comrades.
Next time don't donate so much to Comrade Boehner's crusade.
They're upset over us p0wning them in the US/India/Thailand/Japan vs China trade war and they're trying to remind us they have nukes.
Which is why President Obama is coming home early, actually.
As a US citizen flying within the US, it deeply offends all Pastafarians when they use body scanners.
Only pirates have been allowed to see beneath our clothes, according to The Noodly One.
STEP AWAY FROM THAT BLASPHEMOUS SCANNER!
Flash is totally a suck monster.
Plus, the giant bug hole in it won't be patched until a week from now anyway.

I for one like playing the Cute Brunette class.
My range attacks are wicked cool.

See, in other countries - like say, Canada or the UK or the EU - corporations aren't People. And they have no rights.
I hear if you listen to the Alaskan signals you can get Sarah Palin's credit card info on a clear day.
All your Privacy is belong to Canada and the EU.
Not in America, sadly.
No rights for you!
I'd recommend over Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, and Somalia.
Win Win!
