IANAL but it is my understanding that I can bring suit in my state against a party in another state unless I have agreed to a previously decided jurisdiction. I live in TX, you live in WA... I do not have to go to WA to sue you. It would seem to follow that the judge in TX would have the ability to issue a "cease-and-desist" type order to parties involved.

OTOH, the order as presented in the media seems excessive and over-reaching. The desired goal of protecting the copyrighted document could have been easily achieved with a very limited, specific order.

See this 2005 story from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4240000/newsid_4245900/4245983.stm or this rehash of the story from 2008: http://jguk.org/2008/02/domestic-tame-pet-fox.html or the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox.

Not News, Not Necessarily for Nerds, Nothing We Need.

Move along, nothing to see here.

I am not a graphics expert and so am probably off base here, but can't one take a still from the video feed and ray trace back to the camera? If so could they not do this repeatedly to determine reasonably close to the camera's actual position?

Why would they even need ray tracing if they have the live feed and multiple competent sets of eyeballs? I am not a pilot either, but I can certainly recognize the general areas of my home region from the traffic congestion video feeds from the rush hour helicopters. (Well I could before they stopped flying thanks to high fuel costs and low crowd source costs for traffic reporting!) Are we to assume they are not capable of this?

The boss wants you to work a certain way. The boss pays you to do this. You don't want to work the way the boss wants, leave! No problem. As another poster pointed out, you are a commodity element in the computational environment. Act like one; if the boss (or other aspect of work) should fash you then vote with your feet.

I disagree: The longer they can delay it the less fresh it becomes, the less people care about what actually happened, and the more easily can history be changed. They look their worst when they initially do it.

At the institutional level prejudices put in place (loss of voting privilege, employment restrictions, etc.) may be removed immediately upon release, after a period of supervision, after compensating fees have been paid, some combination of these, or perhaps never. It varies widely from state to state and also is dependent on the nature of the offense. At the societal level most people are not concerned about what a person may have done in their past, provided the offense was not too horrible or given a knowledge of the person as a human before learning of their criminal past. It has been my experience that a criminal record in the USA is one of the most socially devastating things that can occur in your life as a citizen her.

manuals that cover concepts and algorithms. Programming references, language specific and generic, as well as analysis and design texts. Books with plenty of illustrations and diagrams as most prisoners will not have access to actual equipment they can open and tinker with. Having been there and done that I can say with great authority that there is very little job market in the USA for an ex-convict in the IT industry. This changes from generally true to absolutely true the higher in the organizational infrastructure you rise because of the fallout from 9-11 and the war on terror.
