I wonder why this is illegal at all? So, they are sending legitimate advertisements for legitimate companies, big deal. Yes, it's annoying, but it's not like they are fishing for my CC info or sending viruses.
If this is illegal just for using up computer resources, then regular snail junk mail should be illegal too. It wastes my personal time and resources. I guess junk mail isn't illegal since they are paying off a government entity (USPS) to deliver it to me. Hmm....
I think in this case, the transaction was only used to find the identities of the suspects. They weren't actually charged for selling their services to the SS. They already had evidence of other crimes, but just needed to find out who to charge.
I agree that it's annoying that they take a while to warm up, but it's something I can live with to save money.
One thing I did to help with that was to mix bulbs in places where there are more than one. The light fixture in the kitchen has 3 bulbs under a glass dome. I replaced two of them with CFLs and left one incandescent. That way you get some instant light and it helps to fill in the full spectrum to get a more natural light.
When "vulgar" meant "common", "common" was a derogatory term used by nobility or the upper class referring to something that someone less proper/educated/intelligent than themselves would say/do.
How did he know it was worth $2000+? Maybe the battery was dead and it didn't have the power supply so he assumed it didn't work and was going to use it for parts. She could have come up with some story that it was hit by lightening or something and was selling it as a broken laptop. He could have later hooked it up, found out it worked and just thought he got a good deal.
His possession of the laptop was only circumstantial evidence and they didn't have anything actually tying him to the crime. There is no way they should have arrested him and charged him bail for making a good business deal.
(Even if I was a lawyer, I couldn't give legal advice on an internet forum, so there is no point in telling you.)
Tivo doesn't require a phone line. You can hook up an external USB NIC to it, but that added about $40 (at the time) to the price tag and was a big reason I went with ReplayTV. I am also glad I did.
Nice setup. It almost has an Irish pub feel to it. You should push it in that direction. Maybe stain and distress the wood on your bench to match the walls and hang up some bar signs or something.
Why would leave orphaned mailboxes sitting on the server after you delete the user? If you have exchange standard they would still be eating into your 16gig limit.
Rumor has it that trusted sources from My Pants say Wang Enterprises is interested in buying Skype. Later after the announcement, My Pants fell 4.3 percent.
Come on. It's like everyone is rumored to buy Skype these days.
So, why do we even use passwords at all? Why stop there? Lets remove locks on doors and just put toggle switches on our car ignitions. Why not do away with any type of security and just rely on strict laws to prevent anyone from doing anything wrong?
The jails are overcrowded, so well just have to start killing anyone who commits a crime. They obviously can't live in our society and don't deserve to live anyway, if they don't know every letter of the law.
Of course our children will have to abide by these laws too. We can't have young criminals growing up to become adult criminals and reproducing criminal babies. It will clean out the gene pool of all wrong doers and create a society of good people who know their place and will never step out of line because they know the government knows best for them.
You should be aware, however, that the students WERE given ISS and detention. The charges were pressed after the school had already tried to curb the problem internally
Lets say I give a monkey two bananas and tell him to only eat one (through whatever means). When he eats both of them, I punish him somehow. Later I give him two more bananas and tell him to only eat one and he eats both of them again. Well, I tried punishing him once, and it didn't work, so I have him put to sleep. He clearly wasn't able to learn. Does that make any sense?
Children aren't criminals (at least in this case). You have to teach them right from wrong. What did they expect when they handed them back the same flawed laptops?
The students broke the law--the very same law that protects you from having to worry about unauthorized computer access
They were authorized to access these computers. The school handed them out. They just accessed them in a way that wasn't allowed, which equates to a EULA violation. Since they are minors, and aren't allowed to enter into any legal contract, they couldn't be bound by a EULA.
They committed NO crime. The school was wrong for making it so easy to break their laptops and not taking this into consideration when planing their security, and the school was wrong for getting the law involved. They should have given them some sort of in school suspension, and taken 10 minutes to re-image the laptops. End of story.
I heard of a hiring manager that would take resumes, fold them in half and hold them up to the light. If the left and right margins weren't even, he threw them out. If you couldn't even figure out your word processor, you probably couldn't figure out a lot of stuff.

It's amazing how many people that don't know the difference between IT and programming.
Cool, do they drive around listening to 80s music?
If they get a PJC-600, not even the CSI guys could catch them.

Now you have a reason to:

The only thing they learned is that they can ruin someones life with the wave of a lawyer, which is much cheaper than fixing their shit.

I also have a ReplayTV and can't live without it now. They are also very easy to increase storage size. (much easier than Tivo from what I understand)
I don't think there's much you can do with it except scavenge the HD. But, you can always sell it on ebay to recoup some cost.

So, you're saying he's put over 200,000 miles on that car? By that time everything else should be falling off the car anyway.
You see you place the vibrating hand in...
The whole hand? I've seen videos, but come on.

There is no reason this thread can't be infinite.
The possibilities are endless!

I think they should organize a school-wide boycott of the laptops until all charges are dropped for all of the kids.
The school should have never got the law involved to fix what was caused by their own mistakes.

From what I've heard, all 96 neons use the same key. I know of at least a couple that do.
