I've had that argument with more than a few folks over the years. They just can't imagine that service jobs contribute basically nothing to the growth of the economy. And even when they do it's only insomuch as they allow other workers to create more goods by freeing up time that they would have to spend performing those duties themselves.
Considering that they're presumably mining the circles and the posts for data to match up ads with, I'm not really sure that it really matters what the real name on the account is. As I'm sure that they'll have plenty of data with which to match ads accurately.
Actually, asshole, I'm a civil libertarian. The reality is that if you're counting on parents to parent you're not going to get satisfactory results.
Should this be a law? Probably not, but saying that it shouldn't be a law because parents are going to parent is probably the worst reason you could imagine for this law being wrong.
As far as you're bullshit appeal to the constitution goes, it's been consistently ruled over the years that these rights are not absolute. Sex offenders can be legally barred from associating with children. And in this case, barring teachers from interacting with students via Facebook is the lesser of two evils, the other one being that suddenly the schools have to be monitoring Facebook and infringing upon students own free expression and free association to prevent matters from spilling over into the school environment.
Which BTW has gotten much broader than when I was in school as when I left school the problems I had there were more or less left on campus as I didn't associate with those folks outside of school hours..
Dating is a type of associating as is friending of facebook. It's also not the only form of association that's typically barred, you're also not typically allowed to see friends.
You're splitting hairs, one of the requirements for working as a therapist is to be licensed, as such if you lose your license you can no longer legally practice.
If they're former students that's a different matter. I do agree that it is rewarding to see what they're up to later on, some of my students have gone on to do some pretty impressive stuff.
But, mixing personal and professional lives really doesn't work when one party is still under age. Sure, you can and should express an interest, but you have to be really mindful not to let the line blur too much. You can sort of make it work in some instances if you're all adults, but that only works if you're being employed by the student.
You do realize that parental supervision isn't a given, right. And furthermore than students that do end up being victimized by the teacher aren't necessarily the sort that have parents that are interested in their lives enough to notice if things are happening that shouldn't be happening.
Really, it's probably never been such a hot idea for teachers and students to have social lives that include each other while the students are still at that school. Not so much for College students, but definitely for students that are still in the K-12 system.
It's like most things it can be used for good or for evil. It's really helpful in terms of routing you to the proper CDN so that the backbone capacity can be freed up for things that genuinely need to be routed over it. But by the same token it can be used in the fashion you're indicated like with region restrictions on game purchases.
I'm a fan of AMD's Fusion cores. I've got a dual core Zacate processor clocked at 1.6ghz and it's got more than enough power for things that one typically does. I haven't had a chance to check out the Llano based computers, but I'd guess that they're even better.
In all honesty, It blows my mother's Atom based computer out of the water, and was significantly cheaper as well.
Depending upon the dot pitch the focus on short screens gets worse and worse as the monitors get bigger and bigger. My favorite is when they decide that they need to put a couple buttons that I need on opposite sides of the screens so that I don't accidentally hit one. In practice it means my mouse has to travel over a foot in one direction then the same back to get me where I'm needing to go.
TL;DR stop trying to make the same UI work for tiny screens and huge screens it just doesn't work.
I suspect the issue there is since the trading is done outside of the game that they don't have anyway of ensuring that the trading isn't just a scam. The fact that they also aren't making money on it is probably the final nail in the coffin though.
I don't know what the case law on that is, but technically I think that would be considered bartering and as such taxable. You spent time accumulating the gold or items that you're then trading for some other items or gold.
The problem is that nobody in their right mind would agree to this as the Federal Government is already being sued for failure to clean currently used sites. They're way behind schedule on work at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation and I have no particular faith that this would change in the future.
OTOH if we can get a site in a red state perhaps we can at least get some social justice out of this.
You're full of it. It's well established that HFT is just a continuation of practices going back at least a century to the days when brokers would have access to the next days prices. The delay has shrunk significantly to a fraction of a second, but some of the smaller exchanges still offer that peak at the future prices.
Otherwise HFT would be completely unacceptable in terms of risk. The shorter the holding time the greater the risk. The longer the holding time the lower the risk typically. It's a bit more complicated than that, but pretending like HFT is anything other than a scam really misses the point. Wall Street wouldn't be able to afford to do it if it was on the level.
There is no misunderstanding. You're working for fraudsters that engage in a high stakes race to see who can fleece the individual investors the quickest. And in the mean time you destabilize the market and suck all sorts of money out as a leech would blood.
The difference is that air traffic controllers aren't generally vicious psychopaths willing to let the country go to hell so that they can make a quick buck.
Honestly, anybody that goes to work for the psychos on Wall Street deserves all the abuse they get, and more. It's not like HFT is anything other than a gigantic scam.
That's not how that works. That would be he said she said and if that's all the plaintiff has that would not satisfy the requirements to win the case. Having a malcontent that's willing to make such an assertion without any evidence isn't going to help the case out.
And of course you do need a lawyer, but what you've just posted is complete bullshit in the other cases. The proof that you've purchased it is the license key that you were provided. If they can't prove that it was pirated then it wasn't. Which is why we live in a country where there's a presumption of innocence.
Failing to have receipts is not a requirement of any EULA that I've ever seen making it not even a civil matter. If they can't prove in court that the licenses aren't legitimate to the preponderance standard then they don't have anything.
I'm not sure where you got that idea from, but the plaintiff has the onus of proving that the preponderance of the evidence is that the software wasn't properly licensed. Simply not having purchase orders isn't sufficient if the license keys are valid.
If the OP has the original discs and the licenses from those then there shouldn't be anything to worry about because that's more than enough to satisfy the requirements.
Unfortunately in modern America it's a good idea to have both an attorney as well as an auditing firm that you do business with for these sorts of occasions. An independent auditor is invaluable when things like IRS audits and letters like this come in because it's much less likely that there's going to be something going on that you don't know about. And in many cases you can have them do a run through to find anything that may have been missed prior to having to respond to the letter.
It's difficult for an attorney to deal with these sorts of things when he's not completely sure if there is any unlicensed software on the network. He's not going to have to report you for it, but it is important for him to know if there's likely to be any surprises if it comes to an independent audit or subpoenas start flying.

Google documents can do that with significantly less risk to the parties involved.

Not any more than when therapists lose their license for dating patients.

VirtualBox and Crossover are awesome, but unfortunately, they're still not suitable for certain applications like gaming.

If they're going the conspiracy route then no, likely just having knowledge and tweeting the success would be sufficient to drag him in.

Thankfully it wasn't the RIAA otherwise that would have easily run into the millions.
