This would be a clear cut case of fraud. Since the tax was imposed for a specific reason and obviously has not been used for that in the last 100 years or so, someone should go after the Federal Govt for fraud. Now that would be interesting.
It isnt that far fetched either, say your local community imposed an extra $20 on property taxes to be used for technology in schools and in reality it was used to buy a new Benz as a "govt vehicle" for the mayor, there would be significant problems.
Last time I checked Google is making money hand over fist.
Their investors are very happy. In fact, Google could announce they are going to spend 10million dollars on cocaine and hookers and I dont think their investors would blink, they would just be like "alright, sounds good"
Customs wont even care unless you have a suitcase full of them. And even then it wouldnt be copyright infringement, they would be more concerned about the tariff you owuld need to pay. you can bring a few cds in you bought overseas without a problem. bring in a hundred copies and you cant really claim they are all for you. ie personal use is fine, distribution requires you to pay up.
copyright infringement would hardly enter the picture at any time.
the same concept can be applied to narcotics when purchased legally elsewhere. but for a better "normal" example... how about cuban cigars. they are legal in well all of the world outside of the US but you cant bring them here. technically it is illegal for a US citizen to buy them outside of the US and smoke them in say Spain.
If they find a student talking about drinking or smoking etc on a blog, they school's authority to do anything about it is limited to possible athletic code violations (which doesnt matter to most students anyways).
School's attempt to extend their authority, but in reality they can be told no, and no punishment will be brought down that will stand.
If I blogged about something and was called in, (everything happening outside of school), I would tell them that, and then I would leave. If they wanted to press the matter, they would have a world of issues to deal with. A blog post wont be enough evidence for criminal proceedings (for something trivial like drinking) so why does these idiots at this school expect to police people outside of school.
On the flip side, I would absolutely love for a school district that instituted the concept of "you can get into trouble for things that happen outside of school" to be sued for failing to protect their students outside of school. They cant expect to have the authority over students, if they do not have the responsibility of them too.
Piece of cake, tell the principals to go to hell if the act was outside of school and that is that.
He can represent himself and ask for the signed agreement for representation. When they cant produce, he asks the judge for a dismissal.
Honestly, not everything requires a lawyer, particularly a trivially idiotic matter like this. They cannot prove he agreed to be represented by him, the matter will barely win the laugh test of the judge.
Hell, my traffic lawyer had me sign a piece of paper and cut him a nominal fee saying he was representing me, that was in regards to a minor traffic accident (his fee was all of $150).
The problems Russia is facing with piracy are mass production piracy outfits that bootleg dvds by the hundred thousand, not a website that actually is legal under Russian law and can no long be considered a loophole (it would have been "fixed" by now otherwise)
RIAA and MPAA want crackdowns on the real pirates that are selling bootlegs produced in quantity. Legal manuvering can take care of allofmp3.com by making them cough up more and through a bit of treaty work that makes the copyright cartel in Russia pay up.
allofmp3.com is like a fly compared to what is going on in Russia to the RIAA. a non entity when there are bigger problems to deal with. They probably have another 3-5 years before any real changes occur that will matter.
They charge a few dollars for a "convenience" charge to be able to print out your ticket.
Bunch of crooked mob associated bastards, how much of those charges go to mob as skim/
after setting my folks up with Ubuntu, yes linux is for parents now.
Most parents do a handful of simple tasks, web browsing, email, print some photos off the digital camera.
That is it.
They are trivial to do in ubuntu and in many cases easier than windows.
just because a journalist claims priviledge does not actually make it a legal reality. There are a few press shield laws however those are not blanket immunity from discovering sources.
just stop fixing their virus infected systems.
Give them a warning and be nice explaining hte rules of how they should not do certain things. but tell them you wont be fixing it again. They will then have to take it somewhere and it will be inconveniently fixed for a good chunk of money. they will learn when it costs them an extra hundred + time a month
In my opin, it is just too much to learn, this wierd new program and trying to get the concepts of what coding is. Programming is a whole new world for most people on a computer, new software, new ways to think. I would recommend something very simple like SciTe or an easy to use programmer's editor. Simple, with some ready to use macros. That is all you need to start coding, then take them to using IDE's and projects in those.

Why would you "lug" that many around. why not just take the 1 disc you MIGHT actually watch.
So basically the developers should just say. "no it hasnt been fixed because it isnt released now go away"

Ignored or completely unknown.
It means someone has spent the time to make an issue known.. (ie a PROPER bug report, not a random complaint without real info on some completely random message board). The issue has been addressed and is currently fixed. CURRENTLY fixed does not mean it has been an official release but the code has been fixed or written.
It means it will be released inthe future, but if it is that big of a deal a patch can be made. Otherwise you have to play the waiting game, but atleast at minimum, the code can be snagged and patched over (how easily depends on what the issue is)
CVS allows not only for developers to share, but also end users to grab the latest (and snag the files they need to make a patch, it isnt the easiest thing in the world, but it isnt exactly brain surgery)
Yet that is why more and more AMD's are in the consumer market. aka best buy.
Basically AMD bent Intel over and made it their bitch in the server market, and now the same thing is starting to happen in the consumer market. Intel is trying to put up a fight, but will eventually just have to bend over, grab their ankles and take it.
Two year licenses are incredibly useful and their software doesnt suck like Norton.
AVG takes the approach of just working behind the scenes and doing it well...Norton takes the approach of "I need to constantly justify my existance by letting the user know I am doing...something"
AVG works great, so go with it. Their support is pretty good too from the couple of times when I needed to contact them.
It sounds like you pretty much said AVG is good and reasonable so just go with it.

Bam, it will cost you about 5 bucks plus another 5 to ship it
Paypal makes it all easy and you can just message the seller to ask what version it is.

except the courts do not agree. People may claim the 1st ammendment allows for that, but the legal reality is the opposite, jail for contempt.

I always felt like the computer received a pretty massive upgrade when we ditched Norton for AVG. Just my perception and experience atleast.

Spelling and grammar matter if I was a journalist, since I am not, it simply isnt a big deal except to nazi's like yourself.
