I would love to have more clients who completely disregard my advice. People who sign contracts without reading them, people who blab their hearts out to the police and who consent to searches, people who drink and drive over and over and over again. Clients like these are my bread and butter. What's not to like?

Otherwise they will owe FB a zillion dollars in attorney fees. The law they are suing under, Cal. Civil Code Section 3344, is one of a very few California statutes that provide for a mandatory attorney fee award against a losing plaintiff or plaintiffs.

In nearly all other types of lawsuits brought under California law, there is no award of attorney fees against losing plaintiffs unless there is an attorney fee clause in a contract, or the lawsuit is deemed legally frivolous.

1. Hardware. Canon ImageClass D1120 multifiunction ($299 or less at Fry's after rebates). Yeah, it jams sometimes, but not very often.

2. Software. Nothing beats eFax Messenger, free with monthly subscription to eFax service. It's great for scanning and for marking up scanned documents. Maybe it's even free with a free eFax account.

If you work for the Homeland Security, do you get access to the All-22 Shot?

One side of every electrical circuit is connected to a cold water pipe. And all the cold water pipes are connected to the earth's mantle. This is why there is electricity in the earth's mantle. The solution? Just connect your circuits to an antenna instead of grounding them. This way all the electrons will be radiated into the ionosphere, and you'll once again be able to touch the earth's mantle without getting a nasty shock.

Why not build the entire data center out of CMOS so it uses no power?

I would like to have an office on a train such that I have a workspace and internet connection and a window. I don't care if the train takes a long time to get to the destination, or if there is a destination. I envision trains for devs that are full of compartments for this purpose. Maybe an entire development team on a private railroad car.

As an example consider the proposals for high speed trains, say, between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. The most recent Amtrak passenger service on the route was criticized because, due to noncooperation by the freight railroads, the trip would take eight hours. But that was before the internet. Internet access, if available, changes the nature of train trips for people who can telecommute. An eight-hour train trip, or even a ten-hour trip, with a comfortable workspace and internet access is uptime, as opposed to a five-hour drive.

My time is valuable.

I won't click 10 times to read something that could have been put on a single page.

Not photo essays, top 10 lists, bottom 10 lists, quizzes, nada.

If it's not all on one page I just click the big X.
