As long as they are elected public officials, I would have no problem with that at all. However, any non-public figures should have a reasonable expectation of privacy regarding their personal email. Would you expect to not have your work email read by your employer? Well, we are the employers of elected public figures, so their email is work property and not private property.
"Illegal" - no. Against the venue's policies - yes. Last time I checked venues did not have the power to pass laws - only Congress can do that. Taking a video in a theater has nothing to do with being in a theater. It would be illegal because you are filming copyrighted material, not becasue of theater rules. If you break a private companies rules/policies the only thing they can do is kick you out of their establishment.
Unless someone actually pays you $60,000 for it, you are simply speculating at the value. I also would not consider a rare prototype a "standard" car either.
Please explain by how pointing out the same has been said in the past about other vehicles that I am making "it sound like machines can still be built by amateurs and be safe". I neither implied nor inferred that anywhere, and was wondering how you came to that conclusion.
Spoken like someone who has never been harassed, abused, or falsely accused by the police. My guess is that you would change your tune in a heartbeat if you were on the other side of it, even once. If the officers were truly using "reasonable force" responding to the suspect, they should welcome all video evidence of the encounter. If they have done nothing wrong, it will enforce that fact.
Until you can can provide citations for your claim, I am going with the official word from the Department of Health and Human Services. They have no motivation to cover up any fines they have given out.
Considering there have only been a total of two fines issued to date for HIPAA related offenses, "fast" may not be a word you want to use. And the first fine was for a company not being able to provide patients with copies of their own medical information fast enough, not due to a data leak. The second fine was for a clinic losing boxes of physical medical records. So far there has not been a HIPAA fine for leaking electronic medical data. Yet.
How would you like someone telling you how to run your business?
About as much as I like a service provider selling me an "unlimited" data plan, and then limiting how and how much I can use it. Sorry, but unlimited means unlimited. Either change the plan so it isn't called "unlimited", or change your use policies so I can use the data however i want.
Yes, let's put the guns on the planes already. That will save the hijackers the problem of having to sneak them on. Brilliant. Maybe you could offer grenades and Molotov cocktails as snacks too?
Why would China start shooting at the country that owes them the most money? Really wouldn't be in either counties economic best interest. All China would really need to do is stop borrowing the US money.

Are you honestly comparing a Nobel Peace Prize to an Academy award, and then telling me to get a grip? Please. One award means something, one doesn't. I will leave it up to you to figure out which is which.
The headline is a little misleading, in that the left off the last part. It should read "25% of US Hackers are FBI/CIA Informers After They are Caught". They are informing to get out of the previous shit they got caught for, much like drug informers.

Academy Awards have no meaning in any context, except to the Academy. It's not like you can show up in McDonalds with an Academy Award and they will give you free McNuggets or something. It is an award given by a specific institution - no more and no less meaning than that. I personally don't give a rat's ass about what a bunch of stuffy film elitists think about a film. I base my opinions on my own thoughts, not the thoughts/opinions of people I don't know and do not have similar tastes as me. If I like someone in a movie and think they did a good job, them winning or not winning some stupid award isn't going to change that.
Sure, I will watch the video as soon as you admit greed existed before the USA.
And yeah, I have seen the Zeitgeist video before, and still maintain while the USA is pretty good at greed, it hardly invented greed or have exclusive rights to it. It is pretty easy to figure out, hell even old Frank Zappa knew - "Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff.- Frank Zappa"
I am not claiming that the USA isn't greedy, or doesn't have a system that rewards greed. But I am saying not everyone who lives in the USA is greedy, and it is a global issue, not a issue only for the USA.
Yes becasue greed and the love of money and power were invented by the USA and did not exist at all before the US was a country. The desire to accumulate more things is strictly an American phenomenon and happens nowhere else on the planet.
Killing someone over theft is ludicrous of course, but suggest the same killing for a spammer and suddenly you have almost unanimous support on Slashdot. Makes me really glad that the people who post here are not actually in charge...
If the oranges are shipped out of Florida, they are most likely dyed. It has nothing to do with where the oranges come from, and everything to do with where they are destined for, and how long it will take them to get there. It was already stated that locally grown and consumed oranges are probably not dyed because they can be harvested when ripe and naturally orange.
I do not think that SciFi is all blasters and robots. But as you said, Star Wars is not SciFi and I do not consider it as such, but others do. Straight fantasy stuff - substitute the force for magic, blasters for swords, and stormtroopers for evil knights and you have a medieval fantasy. But if you are loose enough in definition saying all interaction with scientific or technological things, that is almost all movies/stories. I think when the story is based around such things it is easy to make the SciFi distinction. But if the story only involves those things on a minor level, where do you draw the line?
Sure, but the time travel is never explained, nor do they go into any scientific aspects of it. So you consider ANY story with time travel or aliens to be SciFi? Just curious as everyone seems to define what SciFi is differently. Would you consider the movie Donnie Darko to be SciFi?

Which is exactly what they said about the first motorcycles, cars, airplanes, helicopters, submarines, etc...
I mean who would want to ride in some loud mechanical contraption when the horse and buggy are still around?
This is seriously the best defense against this kind of thing. Takes you 5 seconds, costs you less than one cent. Virtually foolproof.
I am talking strictly about fines that have already been given out, not violations or alleged violations, which I am sure there are plenty of.
But don't take my word for it. Go straight to the source -
Violation #1 press release
Violation #2 press release

Beat me to it. First thing I thought when I read it was "how is the ability to run unsigned code in a closed platform not a security problem?"
