If the poor people didn't feel they were entitled to a really high paying job for little work, there wouldn't be a need for unskilled labor in the US.

Without each person complaining, how does one spot the "unofficial" corporate policy?

unless they bothered to save the password files before changing it.

IANAL but I have heard that in a civil case, _intentional_ destruction of evidence (wiping the hard drives) can be used in court under the assumption that the evidence was showing that they were in the wrong.

Better switch the order of 13 and 14 or the shields may be used to cover up the chair shaped holes.

You can also check out openmeetings http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/ video conferencing. They have plugins to connect to moodle as well.

Here is the solution for the local university:

1) combine the OSS into one single project
2) start making necessary customizations
3) license usage to the uni for 250k
4) profit!

In TFA, it was the lieutenant that read the messages, so there was the agreement that he would not read the messages. That is why there is a case.

If it was one of the lieutenant's superiors then there would be no real case, but that is not apparently what happened here.

I would agree with you but the great quote from the article says it all:

Don't give away the sync rights. They are basically seeing that there is not going to be that many "performances", so stop giving away the part that will make money.

This is another case of not wanting to change the way they do business.

Conditional on C. SSNs are only unique when in combination with other information. The SSN itself is not unique.

IANAL but from a technical point of view:

Is this precedence that using a service in violations of a terms-of-service is not criminal?
    Any one caught using XSS vulnerabilities needs to just open an account, not cause any damage, and not make any money.

Does it also extend to End User License Agreements? How would it affect prosecution of small scale piracy? e.g. one legal copy installed on multiple machines - it isn't a copyright violation it is an EULA violation and by this precedence, not criminal - just a civil case?

The judge didn't want to go down a slippery slope but he may have fallen off the other side of the mountain.

She intentionally gave false information to someone (myspace) for the explicit purpose of hurting someone else. If this was done financially (bad checks from account opened with fake info) this would be easy to convict.

The issue is that the laws around the idea of using words to hurt someone else are more vague and difficult to legislate in agreement with the 1st amendment freedom of speech.

Expect to see new laws creating a new category of harassment. This would include stiffer sentencing for committing fraud (giving false information/id) during the process of harassing someone.

They should have gone after her as a child predator.
She, an adult, created an online account with the intention of creating a relationship with a minor. She claims it was just to harass her but if any of the discussion was intimate then what?
If it was not the mother of the ex-friend, but the father, that created the account to build the relationship, do you think they would not have prosecuted him for this.

The simple truth is she is an adult who was acting like a 13 yr old girl. She was stupid and reckless and justice will catch up with her in the civil courts.

The borrowers were told that they would refinance in a couple of years to get another low rate.

There was a lot of short sightedness and trusting the fox to watch the hen house.

You might want to take another look at Openfire. They stopped creating a separate "Commercial" version and released a lot of the features into the open source version. There is now logging and some other features.

Just start by publishing the list of people who got home loans (foreclosures) they couldn't afford, and the loan officers that approved the loans.
