  If this is how Steele treats friends, how the hell does he treat adversaries?

  I think you have far too much faith in this government to think they will address this in any meaningful way.

  Re: Tilt Error

  "Atlanta and Denver have international airports. Anything within 100 miles of either of these cities is also within the zone."
  
  If that's the case, essentially the entire geography of the country would qualify as I'm pretty sure there is an international airport within 100 miles of almost everywhere.

  Re: Re: Re: Good News, Sort of Bad News, and Bad News

  "you are still having your 4th Amendment rights being violated by both parties"
  
  Um.. no you're not. Google is not a government entity, therefore you have no 4th amendment protection from them sifting through the data you provide to them. What they do with your data is outlined in their privacy policies, but that is not a 4th amendment issue. You have no 4th amendment protection from a private company.

• On the post: Judge: Apple / HTC Patent Agreement Must Be Revealed (Except For Dollar Amount)

  

  DH's Love Child ( profile ), 05 Dec, 2012 @ 03:00pm

  Re: Re: This was all interesting..

  Well, the only part I'll comment on is that it's not conflict of interest for a law firm to represent different clients in lawsuits against the same opponent in different cases. Both HTC and Samsung are fighting Apple. The only impropriety that I can see that MIGHT come up is if Apple could prove that the firm disclosed privileged information to Samsung. and as there has been no word of this from Apple (and you know they would have been screaming about this left and right if that were the case...), I think they're in the clear. IANAL, YMMV, etc...

• On the post: Massachusetts Man Charged Criminally For Videotaping Cop… Despite Earlier Lawsuit Rejecting Such Claims

  

  DH's Love Child ( profile ), 05 Dec, 2012 @ 02:55pm

  Just curious

  Since it has already been well established in Mass that this is a violation of constitutional rights, can't Espinosa-Rodrigue sue the policeman personally? This WOULD hit the cops individually and perhaps make them think twice before actually violating the very laws they're supposed to be enforcing...

• On the post: Comcast Lobbyist Admits To Holding Internet Service For The Poor Hostage To Get NBC Takeover Approved

  Re:

  in a word, no. I have donated thousands of dollars worth of goods and time to charities without taking the tax credits for them.
  
  Arguing that using low cost internet access for the poor as a bargaining chip in public policy is the same as donating a bag of clothes to Goodwill is asanine.
  
  When one donates to a charity, they are actually giving up something of value (goods) and getting less value (tax credit) in return.
  
  What Comcast did here was to hold back something of value (internet access for the poor) in order to get something of more value (NBC).
  
  In my book, one actually values the public, and the other... not so much.

  Re:

  It's apples and oranges. That case was in the Netherlands and had to do with copyright. The one in this story dealt with defamation in the US. The US courts have held firm that the only people responsible for defamation are the people who actually make the comments, not the hosting companies.

• On the post: Fair Use Protection For Learning Should Be Applauded, But Not Limited To Universities

  

  DH's Love Child ( profile ), 24 Oct, 2012 @ 08:21am

  Something else he misses

  "Google is not a library. It is not a university. It is not a public service. It is a business."
  
  Universities are also businesses. They are in business for the purpose of educating, but they are businesses nonetheless.
  
  And lest we forget that universities have become more and more influenced by corporate interests over the last 3 decades. The cost of attending college has increased at (at least) an order of magnitude more than inflation in the last 30 years and that money is not going to professors (educators), but to administrators (businessmen).

  Especially as software is increasingly used in the design and fabrication of hardware.
