Some of them are teachable.
I bet he won't even get half of that as the lawyers will get a good portion. The idea of this kind of settlement is to make the defendant not do it again. You can bet that in morning roll call there will be some orders there about not arresting people for using phones to record police.

Look at Gutenberg.org for Edgar Rice Burroughs. He wrote the Tarzan novels and also John Carter of Mars. Dated but fun to read.
The problem with trying to boot to an image or live CD is that where I used to work all computers were set to boot to the hard drive first and had a long and non simple BIOS password so that users couldn't change any settings.
I'd agree with you that he should get his own machine.
Well, at least now he'll be able to move out of his parents' basement.

Even if you had started receiving spam it wouldn't have proved MS had sold your address. Spammers also send to random names at a domain and may have just chanced on yours. Obviously the chances of that would be less if your email is fdhdf73gdfj932as@hotmail.com (apologies if that is your address and you start getting spam)
Ah but since I didn't start receiving Spam it pretty well probes that MS doesn't sell addresses, which I never really believed any way.
I've been running a test of the Hotmail system for about the last ten years. Not of their Spam detection, when it started even Spam Assassin was a baby, but of an assertion I saw on an online forum that MS sold email addresses to spammers.
I am happy to say that I have never gotten any junk mail at all in that inbox.
I have used the account to send test messages to a malfunctioning mail server and to register MS products but that's really all. The only mail I get there now is from MS itself, which could be considered Spam but that would be stretching things a bit.
As a sometime composer and arranger I was faced with an overly broad IP policy at a previous employer.
The way it was written they could have claimed just about anything that I did including recordings. I asked for a clarification of that clause in my contract and they admitted that it wasn't even legal in my state. It might be worth checking with a lawyer.
Why is this even legal?
It isn't in some states.
I hope that the senate will get a clue and cancel it's deliberations also. We just need to keep the pressure up.
The most important thing in getting a degree is getting that ticket punched. There are jobs that just won't even talk to a person that doesn't have a degree.
My degree is in music but in interviews I've never been asked what my degree was in. I've often been asked if I have a degree.
