  Real culprit

  Come on, it's not all Hugo Boss's fault.

  Lawyer's need something to do. Imagining slights for billable hours keeps the lights on.

  World wide LEO Broadband

  How is this going to play in places like China?

  Cross Border for School?

  A little off topic, but WHY is a 9 year old American girl, born to (presumably) Mexican parents crossing the border to go to school in the US? Schools are paid for by the local community, and generally, you have to live in the district to attend school.

  (I know, doesn't excuse the jack booted thuggish-ness of the BP)

  Re: Prep those cuffs boys and girls

  FBI only investigates. It would be up to someone else to take it to court.

  Re: No harm(to us), no foul, right?

  Much like trolls that sue for past due medical bills. Their data is shoddy, but if you don't show up in court to fight it, then they get a default judgement, even if the debt is illegitimate.
  
  My brother got hit with one of those for a work place related injury. His company said all bills were paid. Insurance company said all bills were paid. Hospital said all bills were paid. He showed up in court, said trolls immediately with drew their case. The 20 other people that didn't show up got default judgements. Wonder how many of them also had fully paid bills?

  Comcast and SSNs

  After all the data breaches, I might as well just put my family's SSNs on my car windows. Everyone has them anyway.

  I've found having a word limit focuses writing. A letter to the editor has a 250 word limit.

• On the post: Nike, Great Protectors Of IP, Found To Be Infringing On Copyright And Refusing To Pay After Software Audit

  Been there

  Worked at a software company MANY years ago. No one had proper licenses for M$ Word on their PCs. Obviously, EVERYONE needs word processing in an office. So disks and keys were passed around.
  
  Anyway, M$ found out, audited, wanted money, PCs were cleaned, and we were all given WordStar, a shareware(?) word processing program.
  
  Amazing how the world looks different from the other side of the fence.

  Re: Re: UNLIMITED DATA PLANS FOR AN AFFORDABLE PRICE

  Admittedly, I don't use a lot of data, but you might want to look at Ting. I have 4 smart phones on the account, and my total bill will be $59 this month. Total. All 4 phones.
  
  It's not for everyone. You have to have a bit of tech savvy since they don't have brick and mortar stores. Tech support is a phone call, you can't walk in. You buy your own phone, no 2 year contract to make up the difference.
  
  BUT, I mentioned my bill this month is $59???
  
  They piggy back on two networks (Sprint/T-Mobile), buying in bulk and passing the savings on to their customers. Started by Two Cows. Remember them?
  
  Anyway, check it out. They are majorly tech friendly. Not douche bags at all.

  Dumb thieves

  Girl at work had A/C unit stolen from house. Couple heard about it, came by when no one was there, talked about how terrible it was, peeked in her windows, helped themselves to some stuff on her deck. She caught it all on security cam. Posted it on facebook, asking for help IDing the cretins.
  
  They called within the day crying, begging her to take the video down. Brought her stuff back.
  
  Unfortunately, cameras weren't possitioned to catch the A/C stealing meth-head.
