That's a good question, sadly it's it probably just academic. Who would have standing to sue? Probably only employers and it isn't as if they would file a suit seeking to pay a tax penalty.

No this is about the most unfair thing to people on the margin which could have happened. Suppose you have a full time job today but no health plan, your employer does not offer one, or you can't afford to participate because the subsidy is to small etc. here comes 2014 where you will be fined for not having the insurance your company is not being excused from providing.

I guess the upshot is you probably don't either loose your job or get your hours cut to part time for a few more months. This is really really unfair though to the bottom rungs of people most of us might consider middle class.

Makes since that the Liar and Cheif would do this though, if you don't see the tax bill or the pink slip until after the congressional and senate elections you might be more easily bambozaled into electing his shit sack party members again.

Tradition normally holds that a person who does a bad act is the guilty party. These days that is becoming rather twisted. If a person steals data then doesn't the guilt fall upon the thief? What they are doing is similar to the rather absurd gun law that can find a person negligent for simply using one lock to secure a gun. A home owner locks his windows and doors and drives off to the market. Mr. bad guy breaks in the back door and steals the gun and later that day shoots someone. Out of the blue the law also comes down hard on the home owner for not using enough security of that firearm. Frankly it is not good policy. All of the guilt falls upon the bad guy who broke in according to me. If anything the police department shares some of the guilt as they failed to protect my home. The general public also shares the guilt when they pass laws that make it next to impossible to deal with bad people. But whether it is data or guns I think the thief is the one who should pay.
                        If there is room for guilt it would be in situations such as a finance company dumping records in a dumpster completely neglecting to shred the records. As it is understood that dumpster diving is legal and a common practice.
                        Society seems to avoid punishing the guilty.

For those that don't know the Florida keys are only a few inches above ocean levels even before the 1800 era. An 18 inch rise in sea levels would put the keys under water. these keys stretch for well over 100 miles and involve hundreds of islands. The area is also vital as a nursery for sea life. A slight rise in ocean levels is a clear cut disaster.

Actually many of those denies will recognize it on a short term, or micro level, such as in this case; but somehow refuse to recognize it on a more macro level. Never heard them give the thought process behind this, other then sound bites.

you can't ban rooted phones from accessing exchange. Even the policy will not be able to prevent accepting the security settings merely because you're rooted.

how is having an icons in a folder = advertisement? they aren't even visible. that's not an advertisement, fool.

we're almost heading towards freefall. so, that's a yes.

We also fail to take into account the medical harm done and the use of resources involved in caring for an oil or coal victim. How much energy does it take to nurse a man along with lung disease until he dies? The financial cost is huge but you also have all that energy being burned with home health aids coming into the home daily as well as the energy used by the pharmaceutical industry in gathering materials and dispensing product to keep the victims alive. In the case of the US our military expenses largely relate to preservation of the flow of oil. How much energy could be saved if we did not need a big military?

Obviously the government has access to very fast computers beyond what the public has available. As computer power gets greater it becomes easier for specialists to break into supposedly secure situations. We have also been in a war mode since 9/11 and all kinds of covert snooping are taking place. Deeply embedded agents do exist in this world. I have seen it first hand. Back in the 1960s that fine young girl that spent a lot of nights in your bed that you thought was a hippie was often some kind of cop. It was all too common.

nah.

this is just pre-acquisition movement, the same as nokia and every company that MS has ever done a big deal with. It'll be a few years.

this is hilarious.

why do they even have to bother with google or MS if they already have taps at the source?

the "Especially gamers" part has become less and less true with linux steam, android and other things on the way.
