The recipient of such messages is in complete control as to whether or not to acknowledge such messages. Although this might on the surface seem similar to cases where a bartender was held responsible for serving a 'drunk', in this case, the recipient of the messages is in full control of their faculties.

Can't agree more, but any IS Security shop would have concerns about any cloud service, or the ability for employees to easily port data 'outside' of the company LAN/WAN. This is a common sense move, and speaks less about those specific services but rather more about controlling ANY data leaving the company firewalls.

For example, Siri must convert spoken words to text for many queries, which is a concern, just as it would be a concern to allow employees access to social networks, 3rd party email services, and certainly any cloud based service should be a no-no.

You date back a bit farther than me. I think when I entered the workforce, the min. wage was $2.50. Instead of 'Fast Forward', it was 'Fast Food' for me..lol

Did I forget my /Sarcasm tags?

I wonder if these folks would be shocked to hear that even VCR's had a feature known as 'Fast Forward'. It was a ground breaking function that allowed one to skip content they did not want to see on a recording.

Not sure what I said that deserved this from my above post in it's entirety?

Sony, stood their ground and gave us the VCR and made it so that ungrateful snots like DJRumpy don't even remember that once the media he has been spoonfed since birth wanted to deny him this.

I happen to think this is a rediculous lawsuit. These folks made a recording for personal use, just as we used to 'back in the day' on VCR's, and we also made liberal use of the Forward Fast button.

I think it's pretty fucked up that Fox would ever think it had a right to force you to watch a commercial on a personal recording you made after the fact.

Granted you are probably trolling, but a student takes a class knowing full well they will be graded, and expecting such. One doesn't typically have sex, expecting to be taped, and then have it aired in public.

Hopefully you can see the difference?

All of which means dick when you are tried as an adult. That's why they have that special protection. You can't tell me this guy didn't realize the mental anguish it would cause his room mate. 'We' didn't seek to ruin his life. He's doing a good enough job of that on his own. He was tried as an adult and found guilty on all 15 charges. A man died as a direct result of this douche bag's actions.

This is just wrong.

Android's biggest malware problem is users who intentionally went in and set WALLED_GARDEN=OFF so they could install warez.

Don't some big party apps from Amazon require this setting to be turned off?

Of the two I prefer the dem bill.

From the House passed Republican bill:

Rates on popular student loans would be barred from doubling as scheduled on July 1 under Republican-authored legislation that the House of Representatives passed Friday – but the change would be funded by slashing money from a fund for disease prevention and public health.

From the Democrat bill:

Republicans oppose the Democratic plan to pay for the bill by forcing high-earning stockholders in some privately owned corporations and professional practices to pay additional Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. Even if it passed the Senate, it would have no chance of emerging from the Republican-controlled House.

What I see here are those who have already reaped the benefits of an education, and who can certainly afford a minimal increase in their taxes assist those trying to better themselves.

Every GOP sponsored bill has been slash and burn to 'spare' the wealthy from shouldering a burden in this recession, when they are the ones most able to afford it. While poor families are trying to figure out how to eat for the week, the rich would have to decide whether to buy the Rolls, or the Mercedes. It's a fair comparison. The wealth gap between the poor and rich has never been more pronounced. The rich do not need coddling. They need to pay their dues. I'm moderately well off and pay far more than any typical millionaire in taxes, but I understand the need. Without a health lower and middle class, the economy sucks. Jobs are not created in a vacuum. You need customers and those customers are supplied by the low and middle class, not the rich.. You also need an educated workforce to compete in a global industry. If only those able to afford an education could actually get one, we will plummet even further in the global market as there are simply not enough 'rich' folk to make the workforce competitive on a global scale let alone a national scale.

Someone help me out here, but couldn't they observe it directly with earth based telescopes without having to look at a reflected image? Wouldn't a direct observation (albeit through he earths atmosphere) be better in this case?
