I think there was a chapter in Peopleware about companies like the one mentioned that relocate from Silicon Valley to San Antonio.
An employee's willingness to relocate is generally inversely proportional to their skill. Your best people know they can find another job without relocating, your worst people won't want to risk being unemployed. As a result, the people who open the new location won't be as good as the people at the old one.
You also lose a lot culture and experience. You can hire good people at the new location, but it will take them time to get up to speed, and the people teaching them what needs to be done will be the below-average employees who were willing to relocate.
The private place could also be your own property.
For example: it would be illegal to tape people in your bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. if they didn't know they were being taped. I assume that includes nanny-cams.
That doesn't explain how the police can claim that his front door is a private place.
During the Napoleonic wars, the Russians and Austrians agreed to meet up on a certain date for a coordinated attack.
The Austrians waited, the date came and went, but the Russians didn't show up.
Napolean saw that he had an advantage against the Austrians and defeated them. A few weeks later he beat the Russians too.
When they tried to figure out why the Russians army was late the Russians insisted that they weren't late.
The problem was that the Russians were still using the Julian calendar (instead of the Gregorian calendar).
If you build cars, and you work more than 40 hours a week, you get paid overtime. If you lose that job because of foreign competion, you can get money for re-training.
If you write software, and you work more than 40 hours a week, you DON'T get paid overtime. If you lose that job because of foreign competion, you CAN'T get money for re-training.
The reason that people who build cars got those benefits is that they were organized.

They've been telling people to "practice random acts of beauty", now we have to deal with the consequences.

so, why can't we just say that this is a pair of brown dwarves?
For example, email became less valuable when spammers discovered it.

It seems like they're just remaking stuff assuming that people will go to see it because they've heard the name before.
They must be stopped!!! It's only a matter of time before they remake Gigli.
Just call them by their numbers. Badger was 5.x, Drake is 6.x, etc.
and how long will it be before somebody sues them for infringing their "method of forward locomotion" patent.
A worm is a virus but spreads through emails.
This is false. Worms spread lots of different ways.
Kama Sutra can't spread without the help of an e-mail client program, so it's a virus.
1) find the gene that makes people want to patent genes. 2) patent it 3) use that patent judiciously 4) problem solved!
One year doesn't make a trend, but the 25 year trend makes a trend
