Civil suits and the word "crime" don't go together. If he committed a criminal offense, he'd be prosecuted, not sued. As it stands, he's being sued for damages. The verdict is, of course, unfair.. horribly so, but, as I'm not the judge on the case opening up brand new briefcases full crisp new bills and a card of "thanks for your help judge, your friend always, RIAA", there's nothing I can do about it.
Yea, back in 1992, they didn't have cool training like that. Only some small training on hand to hand and knife fighting and that was it. I hear that today it's much more intense and detailed.
So, I guess the moral of the story here is that gays are bad and if you want to keep your job and not get hit with lawsuits, don't hire them?
Yea, I know. That was just a flame asking for trouble. Disregard.
However, I believe that if he had an issue, he should have spoken up to begin with instead of playing a game like that. I have a feeling that such a course may have been his plan all along; the moment he walked into the job on day one and saw the globally renowned magazine he probably thought "score".
So what country is the one you speak of? I really want to go experience this horrible "I know I'm going to be hit on at some point today" environment for myself!
Well, hoping that there will be some open source systems with the ability to make some changes via a legally accessed API with access to some features without compromising safety, perhaps a system could be built that will allow for faster travel and scan for cops ahead and slow down when one is detected. Yea, wishful thinking on my part, for sure, but I like to pretend we live in a less controlled society. Another thought is that by the time we have self driving cars as the norm, all of them will be equipped with fairly precise GPS modules mandated by law and constantly recording our speeds and our bank accounts will just be auto deducted whenever we violate speed laws and we'd have to go to court and fight it to get our money returned. Those days are coming!
No, they should write it in VB. It may give distant peoples a headache when they see it and cause the to bicker among each other of why it even exists but at least they'll be able to decipher it without actually knowing the language or even knowing how to read at all.
Honestly, based on Google's recent patents for self driving cars and the fact that they're making such a statement makes me seriously wonder if they haven't figured something out that we just aren't aware of yet. It's as if they're giving the world clues that something huge is coming and they know it. The first set of patents made me raise an eyebrow but now, with this following, I'm really starting to go beyond speculation and into a wonderment of how I'm going to be able to somehow capitalize on what may be coming.
For a short moment in time, I almost started to feel a whole lot better about my relationship with big corporations. I started to feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Then, reality took back over and I continued my ever persistent frown on the subject.
How about a new federal "Hire only Legal American Citizenry" act. Get rid of all the HX visas. This would at least help our own people in the states. I don't really care if some Indian from Mumbai can't come over here and take an American's job from them. I do care if they can, however. It's time we start taking care of our own by making it happen, one way or another. It would appear the only way is to force it down bis biz's throats. They can afford it so let's make 'em. Perhaps, at the same time, we need a company executive compensation cap act as well. That way, all those millions upon millions of dollars can then be used to hire American's at decent livable wages instead of putting all the money into one family's (or one Wo/Man's) pocket.
Here Here. Still haven't bought SC2 and no plans to purchase DIII. I was invited to the DIII beta test and didn't. I will refuse to support such models in any way I can, including the withholding of my money. I was just playing Diablo (the original) yesterday and am still content with sticking to it. It's funny to go online though and find I'm the only one there. Am I the only D1 player left?
I don't understand why officers aren't more readily prosecuted for willful destruction of evidence and obstruction of justice since when they delete such data, that is exactly the crimes they are or may be committing.
Isn't attacking a computer system illegal? I know they're based in Russia but since corporations here in the US are considered "individuals" as the law goes, and since they are funding this illegal activity, wouldn't they then be considered accomplices and therefore be eligible for prosecution under US laws? Since the board of directors and officers of the company represent the company, shouldn't it be all of them that end up in prison or breaking federal computer crime laws?
I'm amazed that no one here has brought up the fact that the buildings were purposely demolished and that the planes had absolutely nothing to do with the buildings doing a complete demolition style free fall with visible synchronized explosions coming from various parts of the buildings and, after the buildings came down, visible diagonal cut marks on steel beams. The amount of evidence is overwhelming and any more evidence that could have been found by investigative teams were kept away by federal agents until all the evidence was literally covered up by dump trucks full of dirt. Absolutely amazing that this wasn't brought further into the light of the American public.
Well that depends on if the firm these lawyers work for is heavily employed by large corporations who happen to be financing the judge's and DA's (and other fat/happy politicians) with the majority of their campaign contributions, if not under the table brief cases. That's what most of these things come down to now a days. The proof is right there in between the lines of every important case out there.
Huh. So saying "Screw you" or "Fuk off" to someone in arizona (if you're not in az) could get you extradited to, charged, sentenced and imprisoned in AZ? Wow!
Your story kind of makes me want to run down to my nearest BB and try to get a part time job there just so I can be around at the end to experience.. the end.:) Fun history in the making. Not for the ones who may depend on their full time job there, I would imagine, but for someone like me who already has a good paying full time job, I would love to be a part timer there for the end just so I could take home some cheap, potentially fun/cool stuff.
Exactly! I don't understand why he went with a settlement unless he didn't have the funds to continue the suit. If that was the case, perhaps he should had tried a website appealing for donations for his suit and why it was important for the rest of us to do so. I'm sure I would have given him five bucks, at least. Without knowing the details, speculation as to the reason is all we have.
I personally wish we'd see some kind of charges brought on the officers and even the internal affairs officers responsible for all this crap. A few years in prison for each of them would go a long ways in changing things... or at least a good start in going a long ways in changing things.
...it sounds like there might be a good chance of getting a convection based on evidence gathered this way thrown out...
I doubt it. Now a days, there is very little hope of winning when it comes to your word against theirs. They purchase/use software to get into your personal affects/papers without warrant. The software itself is considered a tool for the police, like a hand gun/tazer/cuffs, and therefor isn't questioned by the courts and is considered perfect by proxy (the police use it, so it must be perfect and not do anything to taint evidence). It's nice to think that such things could be tossed out of court but in reality this doesn't and will not happen. If you're targeted by the police, innocent or not, you're screwed with very little hope of making it back home without changing clothes into an orange jumpsuit and having your life, and the lives of your family, utterly destroyed.
I've said it many times before and I'll say it again. We need TOUGH laws against law enforcement and DAs that force DAs to prosecute law enforcement officers uner laws which will imprison those officers for decades for small infractions of dishonesty which results, or attempts to result in the loss of life/liberty for any US citizen. If we had such laws and prosecution practices in place, the number of abuse cases (and even cases which we think are legitimate but are actually horrific crimes against personal liberties and justice) would quickly diminish on a massive scale as officers would stop jeopardizing their own lives and the lives of their families versus trying to put innocents into prison based on fake/planted evidence and lies.

The last time I checked, just about every contract or agreement I enter into has this clause already.
This even included my rental agreement with the apartments I recently moved into!!

Autonomous teleporters?
That's right! We did just find that higgs boson thingy exists so we should have mater teleporters in a few years time from now! ;)

.. as a full time vendor and I've never seen any under cover federal agents. This must be a false flag news story of some kind.
I'm going to use monopoly money to trade with the aliens!

I'm thinking you should probably stop working for shitty companies. It'll improve your outlook on life!
And it's just that simple, right?
