It only seems fair that if they want to be part of google's family they should use that awards money to pay google to index them (or whatever they want). After getting permission from the court, of course.
Keep the granularity of transactions to the penny for electronic transactions, but for cash round everything to the nearest $0.10 and make the smallest coin a 10-cent piece.
I was recently in New Zealand where that technique is in use and it works wonderfully. They have $0.10, $0.20, $0.50, $1 and $2 coins.
In our case, it would be easy to go for $0.10, $0.25, $0.50, $1 and add in a new $2 coin.
Well, using your logic, nobody who is using street view in her neighborhood would look at the photos of her (extremely boring) underwear anyway. Nobody anywhere else would care, or have noticed, if she hadn't made a big deal of it.
Now, of course, the whole world has clicked the link to check out her underwear. Streisand effect in a *big* way.
CL *wasn't* making money off of the adult services section until they were leaned on to charge for the listings. And I believe that CL actually contributed the money they were forced by attorneys general to charge to anti-abuse groups.
I think the judge should have thanked her and sent her on her way for disclosing that she was a useless juror. If she hadn't posted on FB she's have held the same opinions and influenced the jury.
He's just punishing her for doing online what the other jurors were already doing with their spouses and friends.
Netflix never guaranteed the availability of a movie at any particular time - the come available when they do. If they're available a month later, I won't even notice. Netflix and buying DVDs are unrelated in my life. I neither buy nor don't buy a movie because it's available as a rental. I *might* buy it after I've rented it if I think I will want to re-watch it without returning it to my netflix queue, but that's only happened once in two years.
How much did you pay for this Google service? Who forced you to use it out of the gate.
"Like Iran" implies a hell of a lot more than somebody who keeps "private" information on a free service being annoyed that another free service accidentally exposed it.
I haven't had a landline in 9 years, and still I get a white pages for all the cities for 30-ish miles around me, and a mound of yellow pages. They are literally removed from their plastic wrap and immediately placed in the recycle bin.
If Qwest instead gave me a DVD with all the white/yellow page info on it I might actually use it as an adjunct to the web.

Re: Time of day...
Most people do trust the US government to give them the correct time of day, actually.

Now spending money - I have to agree that spending less than you make seems reasonable.
Re: Ever been to school Mike ?
I would have thought spellcheckers worked *well*.
Perhaps google should charge them...

Get rid of the $1 bill, the penny and the nickel.

Stazi?
It just gets better and better. Pretty soon they'll be renaming the country "Staziland" in honor of the East German secret police..

Why is is so difficult?
loose is what happens when your sheep get out "the animals got loose".
Lose is the word you were striving to find. "people could lose their property".
And it's "We've come" not "We came"
It would be a lot easier....
If Canada just gave up on this whole "independent country" concept and became an assortment of new states.
Steig Larsson's estate maybe...
But he himself isn't making any money from the book...

Not an actual problem.. :)
I brought all three books back with me from Sweden last summer. Of course, they're in Swedish, but that works for me.
Who cares?

Bogus lawsuit, bogus issue.
Just like Iran?
What planet are you on?

lawbreakers....
Dr. Strange misses the point. The "lawbreakers" to which he refers would gleefully pay for the content if it were available in a useful format.
Pretty silly.
