Those companies are not violating the TOS, the employee is. What the company is doing is worse, the company is arguably accessing without agreeing to the TOS at all, which falls under unauthorized access and is criminal under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. I think. IANAL
Without any contract, you have no authority access. If you breech the contract, you have no authorization to access. Access without authorization is a felony.
I tend to agree that the other courts were probably right. Whether or not the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is too broad is another matter and something for higher courts and the legislative branch to determine.
Which was made by Samsung. This will change with the Motorola acquisition...
Username changes would be very appreciated...
The problem is that without rules on how properties are divided, they can be defined in arbitrary ways. Vague definitions are cause for disputes. Overly precise definitions based on constants such Pi are also vague. With Pi, you must, practically, round. If your property is explicitly framed in the context of Pi and your neighbor plans bushes in your yard because he estimated Pi as 22/7... do you bring it to a judge and argue precision?
It is a silly thought experiment with few practical applications. I don't see why legislators would bother, unless they're bored on the hill, or there is a particularly generous landowner with thousands of acres of property with ill-defined boundaries.
There may actually be sound reasons to legislatively set Pi to a rounded constant. One that comes to mind: Many property lines are defined along a circular arc (mine is). Pi is arguably too precise for property law, lest people might argue about a tree impeding a nanometer over their property line. Rounding it would settle those disputes. Of course, such a ruling wouldn't be broadly desirable outside that particular niche... and there are other aspects of property law that attempt to address this, such as setbacks.
someone needs to re-adapt The Crucible...
I left my carry-on roller-bag on the plane once and I *always* bring a roller-bag. I just forgot and walked off. I also left my wallet, once. I fly >100k miles a year and just happened to be air-headed on those two flights. It happens. It especially happens if you're on a red-eye or, simply, on a long flight. In both cases, I immediately remembered once I hit the terminal and asked the flight-crew to retrieve the items.
I know someone that left their brand-new DSLR camera in the overhead, their camera went to China... they never got it back.
Ironically, the alternative to bringing the item on board is to pack a gun into your checked luggage. That makes sure it is treated with kid-gloves and isn't opened. Seriously. (You tell the airline you have the gun in your luggage and follow the necessary firearm safety laws/ordinances and airline requirements)
I remember IBM really pushing the sales of OS/2 Warp. However, I couldn't ever *find* the software for sale. Also, this was during a period when some machines were sold with only DOS, but an increasing number of systems were moving to having Windows pre-installed. Very quickly, Microsoft closed the gap through pre-installations, creating a giant barrier to competition. Once that window of opportunity was closed, OS/2 and other operating systems had no chance. Apple only succeeded in having their own hardware to run their OS on, thus they weren't entirely squeezed out of the market.
Trenton, NJ and Morristown, PA are connected by three bridges. Two are paid. All are less than a mile apart.
Taking the free bridge isn't a huge detour, although that way tends to be more crowded...
Actually, there was a Linux flash player since version 6... The support hasn't always been good or well-synced with the Windows/MacOS releases, but it has existed for quite a long time. 64-bit support has only been available since version 10 or so.
I've transferred 220GB in the past month, evenly split between upload and download. No, I am not using P2P networks. This is just standard usage.
That said, I do have a Netflix account... but I haven't used it this month. I work from home, do lots of SSH and a few minutes a day of VoIP. My wife uses Skype video extensively on the weekends. I use VNC and other remote console stuff on occassion, but not frequently. I have a number of computers that download updates from the internet, including a Windows desktop with Steam (those downloads can be big). I've probably downloaded and/or streamed about 5 hours of television from iTunes.
I'll bump it up significantly before the month is over as I intend to download a number of things from Microsoft Technet...
There are a fair number of good motorcycle / riding boots that can be resoled, so there is no need to replace the whole shoe if the uppers are fine.
Resoling tends to be about $100, so it makes sense for good boots (but obviously not for $100 boots...)
My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I've bought into needing the proper shoes for the proper occasion, and having quality shoes that will last me. That includes needing to maintain a rotation to control moisture and thus the longevity of the leather. I pay more, but they'll last ten years, not one.
The below isn't an advertisement for Allen Edmonds, they just happen to be the lowest price maker of "good" shoes that also happen to carry widths. As such, I do have a bit of brand-loyalty. That said, I'm tempted to snag a few pairs of shoes from Alden shoes, maybe an Indy Boot or Chukka.
My collection:
I should probably own some sneakers for the gym... maybe, then, I'd have one less excuse.
WARNING TO ALL PERSONNEL: Firings will continue until morale improves.
