Now, if it had been a friend or two that e-mailed the judge, he might have just warned them off with a "that's not appropriate." But when enough people e-mail to fill his Inbox, it's quite clearly an attempt to influence the judge, and that's not OK
Well, maybe judges need to be sequestered away from society like juries if they're so easily influenced.
It's not that a judge is easily influenced, it's that he cannot prove to the other party that he was not influenced.
From the article: "We dragged 16 people", I'm no stats engineer but isn't that far too low ?
Actually that's a typo. The original article mentioned that "[they] drugged 16 people."
Today, I just received an email that Flickr has given a deadline for us "Old Skool" members to merge our accounts with a Yahoo! account.
Not only has the Yahoo!/Flickr crowd squarely ignored user and customer needs, they have gone ahead and done something that the users were explicitly against. Already, a lot of the users on the Flickr forum have asked if they could cancel their membership.
The solution of this problem is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.
