I would love to have a Kinesis Advantage with durability and buckling springs of Model M.
Advantage got such a good layout, but the rubber function keys are just garbage!!!
Absolutely agreed. I had an Advantage before my Freestyle. I don't think mine had rubber function keys, but like the freestyle, if it just had slightly better klacking I think it would be perfect for me.
And since my tendinitis isn't anymore... it is a trade up. Sorry M.
Better yet: two counts of wire fraud and 11 violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution and supervised release.
Nah. Eric Holder has already stated that he has broad latitude in prosecuting criminals. She might win in civil court, but there's no way those apparent criminals are going to jail.
Of course not. I'm sure the DA will offer 6 months in federal prison & a felony record shortly before they hang themselves.
I think the agent in question & his bosses all hanging themselves in their bedroom would be acceptable to me as well.
I would rather we do the hanging in the town square so we can all enjoy the scene. When the worst criminals we have to deal with work for the government, we are all in trouble.
I would rather they see their world crumble around them. I want them to see there is no future for their kind. I want them to despair so fully and completely that they cannot handle the thought of continuing to exist being so out of place. I want them to want to kill themselves to relieve themselves of the shame of knowing the rest of the world will move on, better & brighter, regardless of what they've done or tried to do. I don't want them to know failure, for failure requires an understanding of success. I want them to know their presence was utterly and completely irrelevant.
R'lyeh is Rising!!!

Are you kidding?
They were jamming for two years in a convention center where thousands of people meet every weekend, and they were charging exorbitant fees, in some cases $1000 per device. If this looks too high to you, imagine you are giving a talk about the last 18 months of your research, and a prearranged setup stops working. Your tenure, your reputation, your tenure may depend on that talk. And that's just for researchers. A company that has gathered a thousand POS managers for a discussion of a new system will have millions on the line.
Captive customer base indeed.
Fines seldom come close to wiping out the profits from the con, when big businesses with lobbyists are involved. I have personally participated in a cleanup effort (mostly through volunteers) which used about $30,000 on top of our donated time and equipment. While we were working, the assholes released more detectable crap, and were fined $2,500. But hey, they are golfing with the local high scum.
Did you host an event there? Sue Marriott in civil court.
It would be interesting for lawyers to start calling the primary investigators to the stand at every trial and asking the simple question "are you aware of any parallel construction?" Basically force investigators to give up the practice, admit to it, or commit perjury.

Ritter: I have no recollection, Senator.
Sometimes the term "illegal" is used to mean "inadmissible as evidence in court." I thought one can record any audio anywhere, they just might not be able to use it in court.
Can someone with legal knowledge of this clarify?
There is a link in the story to a useful site that will tell you about the local laws: http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guid....
For California at least, and no doubt the rest, the issue is that they are "Two party consent" states. That means everybody in the recording must give consent to being recorded prior to being recorded. In California, that applies to audio only. Video recordings are always legal. This is criminal as well as civil (again, in California; I didn't look up the other states). Meaning you will go to jail and be sued into oblivion.

If you need to read in Braille, what the fuck are you doing at the wheel of a goddamm car???
Why would they put Braille on the drive-up ATMs if they didn't expect me to drive there?
You are off the rails. The FCC does not have the power to nullify the anti-wiretapping laws of states.
Fuck the state. Seriously. They work for the tax payer and should be representing the interests of tax payer rather than criminals be they individuals or corporations.
They do. That is why it is illegal to record you without your permission; such as when your friend loans you their car... When thinking about a law, try to imagine yourself in both positions.
The Gallery belonging to that Forbes article starts with "Bakers Women earn 104% more than men in this job." I'd think someone would have noticed if women rally earned more than twice as much as men.
There is a rally for women that earn more than twice as much as men?
That discrepancy skirts zero a but it conspicuously never flips around the other side.
First, about this claim, you're just Wrong. Don't make claims you can't back. Construction workers & supervisors, painters, teachers, bakers, bartenders, servers... all jobs that women make more than men. Though "hooker" is not listed in Forbes, I'd guess female sex workers make more than men too.
It is true that women make less than men, but the OP very specifically stated opportunities, not outcomes. The salary rankings are outcomes. The Pew Research Center produced much different numbers (.84 up to
Obviously I have not proven the OP claim, that there are equal or more opportunities for women, the hopefully I have shown that the issue is not so open & shut as you think. Nobody, to my knowledge, is counting Opportunities. Nobody here has even defined them. But with 42% of women not taking full advantage of their opportunity to work full time once they have a job, compared to only 27% percent of men, the argument seems plausible enough to warrant some thought.
