But the girl also confronted her mother shortly after the "World would be better off without you" comment. In fact, according to several news sources, she got into an argument with her mother right before she went to kill herself. How can it even be guaranteed that the cause of her death was the comment by Drew and not in fact by a combination of side-effects from anti-depressents and just a shitty day in general?
That doesn't (and shouldn't) make you a criminal.
I know someone, practically family, who went through a horrible ordeal because of someone she was supposed to be able to trust. Someone who was family. When she signed up for MySpace to keep in touch with her friends, she did so under an assumed name so that same person (who was known to use MySpace) wouldn't be able to easily locate her.
So, she's just committed the same act as the defendant in this case. So technically, she should get 3 years in jail and a fine. Right?
That's a very good argument, actually. I wonder would the same thing have happened if it was someone from her school, using a legitimate profile? While the woman was antagonizing the girl, I'm troubled by this ruling. I'm very conflicted.
I use OpenOffice at home for documents I want to keep secure (for the most part, I detest cloud computing) but for documents that can be out in the open, I prefer GoogleDocs simply because I can access them from any computer available to me and make a quick change.
It's a new tactic to put those who RTFA on the same playing field as those who don't. Try it on the next political article. I think you'll enjoy the facts you assume more than what's actually written.
Judge: This court finds in favor of the MPAA. Real: But... we sued them! Judge: Look, I understand you're a startup company... Real: We've been around forever! Judge: ---Really? Never heard of you. $10 million or 40,000 innocent souls to the MPAA, to be paid by Friday.
I agree. Two years in at first-level is not a good sign. I do not consider myself to be horribly knowledgeable about PCs, either. I came into this new company not even two years ago. Once I finished my training I was thrown into business accounts and then into second-level. Most of the people at my office who don't go past the first-level after a certain amount of time don't stick around or never break out of it.
Sensors look at facial expressions, body heat and can measure pulse and breathing rate from a distance.
I have severe allergies which affect my breathing and a faster-than-usual heartbeat due to another medical condition. I also have hyperhydrosis, so I sweat constantly, which would make me look more suspicious in an interogation room. Oh, and when I start getting antsy, it's not because I'm nervous, it's because of my hypoglycemia and I need to eat.
But at least this new technology will keep me off the streets.
Couple that with the fact that iTunes doesn't officially support taking music off your iPod back onto iTunes and you've got a system that's a real pain in the arse.
Honestly, when this came down on Ray, I think it was beneficial to his position rather than the RIAA's. A spin could be placed on this (I'm still trying to figure out the legitimacy of the motion) that the RIAA is simply trying to bully anyone who would defend the accused into silence. This could come around as a good thing. Could.
I can see Apple's response to this admission of failure, now.
Mac: Hello, I'm a Mac. PC: An I'm a PC. Mac: What's wrong PC you look a little down? PC: Well, Mac's got this slick advertising campaign-thing going, so... Mac: You mean like how the benefits and ease of using a Mac is explained in contrast to the competition? PC: Yeah, and-- Mac: And your new ads don't represent any of that? PC: Well, yeah, but-- Mac: In fact, the only thing your ads really did have was a shoe-squeezing, churro-munching, butt-wiggling figurehead and a worn-out comedy act that's staler than month old toast. PC: Well, it's not all bad. It got people talking-- Mac: Yeah, "WTF" maybe, that's not good talking. PC: But, those ads did do wonders to show off the capabilities of the Mac, y'know? Mac: Wait, what? PC: Yeah, the ad agency uses Macs for all of their productions. Mac: Gimme a break. PC: I will not. I'll have you know the entire campaign was done in iMovie. Mac: That's bull-- PC: Oh yeah. That horrible ad campaign? We wouldn't have been able to get it done without the ease of use of a brand new iMac. I guess it's really your fault. Mac: Oh jesus-- PC: Do you feel it, Mac? The darkness wriggling inside of you? Mac: I'm gonna be sick-- PC: This is your fault, Mac!
*Mac doubles-over and throws up on the floor.* PC: Yeah, that's it. Now bend over and take your Vista install like a good little--
Sorry, but if I'm contracted to certain functions at certain price increments or allotments, I expect those to be honored. If one party decides to change the terms of the contract without discussing (let a lone receiving approval) from the other party, then the first party should be considered to be in breach of contract.
Or does this mean that I can send AT&T a "customer ToS" and say that I now get unlimited everything on my plan, and if they don't approve they can just walk away from the existing contract?

No. It doesn't. And there are far more details to the situation I mentioned than I can reveal.

Additional Nit: And that's only if you do so in a broadcast capacity. Not in the privacy of your own home.

This is good news. Shortly, you'll be able to use the same substance that got you into this mess, for the ring.
Hey, some of us can make that mistake perfectly sober, thank you very much.
Really? One of my requirements for graduation was that I had to do 10 hours of community service. And this was a public high school.

The 'Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators Act of 2008
It's called KID SPA?
Another revolutionary technology that will be adopted first by the porn industry.
They were trying to make money off of being "not MS and not Linux, either".
How do they explain it "not selling"?

Actually, they'll also register the domain for you if you like.
I agree. I've been using Google Apps for a few months now. Never had an issue.

Haven't installed iTunes 7 yet, huh?
Linux is for the garbage can!
Sweet! What won't Linux run on these days?
Organized crime?
You have playlists, don't you? That's pretty organized right there.

The RIAA said Beckerman, one of the nation's few attorneys who defends accused file sharers
How DARE he!!!

Never a good sign when your webshite 'title' is 'New Page 1'
Or when you have the terror alert scale. Even Fox News doesn't use that thing anymore.
