Someone thinks their neighbor has a large amount of cocaine, so he sneaks into the neighbor's house, steals a sample, and verifies that it is cocaine (not baking soda for example). Then he calls the police and reports his heighbor.
He was technically in possession of drugs, but I doubt the police would charge him for it.
Police often don't charge people who give them evidence, even if they are guilty of a crime (especially if their only evidence is the person turning somebody else in).
Even though music producers have control over specific products, they're still subject to the laws of supply and demand. A big part of the law of supply and demand is that if prices get to high, customers will find alternatives or do without.
That goes for the the latest Madona song, Big Macs, trucks with Hemmy engines, etc.
With the latest Madona song, you can also chose to "pay" for it by listening to commercials on your local radio station.
Of course, if the CD-Player makers used the RIAA's logic they'd be charging $1000 for a CD player.
It seems to me that it would be pretty easy for a spammer to make his spam-bots get around greylisting by keeping track of the email addresses that got a temporary-reject reply, and resending to them later.
I'll agree that a computerized system could give better feedback than a pen-and-paper system (where there's no way to prevent voters from circling boxes they should put an X in or putting Xs in circles they should fill in entirely).
On the other hand, I have ZERO faith that the existing computerized systems will count votes correctly or prevent forgeries.
Also people who have read the source code have said that Diebold's the crypto and security people were cleary not experts.
I do generally forward anything that looks remotely phishy to the organization that it appears to be from. Hopefully they'll shut down the phishing sites or give their own pages URLs that are under their domain instead a third partiy domain.
I've never gotten a useful reply back (5 pages of boilerplate about how to report abuse is not useful to sobebody who just reported abuse correctly).
More importantly, I've seen phishing sites that were still up weeks after I reported them to the hosting ISP and the company being phished.

they'll throw in bionic sound effects.
or does anybody else have a sudden craving for pop corn?
Source code control tools are only useful if the people submitting changes don't make a lot of inconsequential changes.
Every now and then, I'll see a delta for a 100 line file that's 97 lines long, because somebody went on a variable renaming frenzy.
If a staffer wants to sneak something in to a bill, they can do a lot to obfuscate their changes.
Maybe an analogy would help.

would require a bog.
If there's a bog, there's water.
If there's water, there's oxygen.
If there's oxygen, then Dan Quayle could breathe there.
I wouldn't go that far.
After all, Jar-Jar Binks did exactly what Lucas wanted him to do.
Nobody actually runs 9 to 5 as standard business hours anyway.
You may be able to set your own hours, but a lot of people don't. There are a lot of organizations that have fixed daily start and end times.
Schools are a good example.
In your case, the cashier intended for the food to be free.
A better analogy would be that the cashier made a mistake adding up the bill.
The conclusion is still the same. Once the deal is done, it's done. If you sign a receipt for a given amount, they can't add to it.
Um... There's a reason why you need a license to drive but not to be a pedestrian (or a dog, deer, etc.).
Not quite.

"Ummm... have you tried rebooting? Yeah, that's it rebooting fixes everything."
What if the mail in question is a post card?
It seems to me, that anyone who wants to keep their mail private, should put it in an appropriate container (aka encryption).
If the terrorist can get reliable cell phone service, then they've won.

All of those things would infringe on SCO's intelectual property.

getting the blue screen of death 45 minutes into the movie. Then all of the viewers would have to leave the theater and come back in.
is a movie based on Free Cell. Think of the possibilities!!!

It's not always as black and white as the examples you mention.
of course, soma and jet packs don't mix.
Why do you people think NASA sent probes with digging equipment to Mars?!?!
They just wanted to destroy the evidence before anybody could take new pictures!!!
The truth is up there (or it least it used to be).
It was those scurvy dogs from Diebold!
