To be fair, a calendar is a db with a client component, and they don't necessarily have to be DBs, some are simply parsed csvs or tsvs. But regardless, theres no difference from displaying that info on a PDA or any other type of computer, which I'm pretty sure was first done by Lotus in the early 80s...
If you read about what exactly the exploit is from the guy himself, you'll see that theres no way to impart the seriousness of what he found to the average call centre monkey. He tried to follow the white hat security model to the fullest, but that model is a 2-way street, and Amex didn't do its part.
Im pretty sure the only way this would fly in UK court is if once you got into the movie, you realized that it wasn't actually a movie. Im pretty sure Genre isn't important in this connotation, only if it qualifies as what you paid for (a seat, to watch a movie).
You'd probably be luckier suing them for calling the orange sludge they serve 'Nacho Cheese', since its certainly not cheese, and those probably aren't nachos....
And you think that the obsolete loan-and-never-recoup model pays content creators? Riiiight.

They don't like to target or fight with companies that could destroy all of them in a temper tantrum. There are a growing number of tech industry players with personal net worths greater than the entire music industry, and a few approaching the size of the entire content industry (Zuckerberg included). So ya, Facebook/Google/Apple/MS could pretty much open a site Pirates'R'Us.com and give away everything for free from central servers, and I'm pretty sure the content industry would bite their tongues and keep going after the smaller players. They're bullies, and you can't bully people 100 times bigger than you are.
My Point is find any other software company that gives away for free what they charge money for (In MS's case, its licenses, in a Linux providers case it would be support contracts)
You know every windows License comes with 2 support calls free right? So if they gave out, what? Lets say a million licenses, thats 2 million support calls they donated. Lets see a Linux distro beat that.
I manage Windows, UNIX, Linux and MacOS Servers. Server2008R2 comes with better security and more support out of the box, can use any storage technology, and gets better IOPS. NTFS is by far the most stable file system until you get into WAN File system layers like Google uses. Its most easily virtualized and portable. You can use any DB on it (not true for other OSes), it integrates properly with EVERY 3rd party enterprise tool out there.
Not only does it setup easier, it goes down less and requires FAR less support hours than an equivalent Linux/Unix build (running multiple services). Its also WAY cheaper than any proper UNIX setup, but performs WAY faster than any Linux build (in ways that matter to sysadmins, backup/restore performance, DB IOPS). Also, VSS is by FAR the best granular Disaster recovery tool on the planet, it destroys all *nix versioning support.
Yes, Linux is better for a simple web server, and Unix is better for a 4-D comprehensive database, but for everything in the middle Windows blows it away.
The idea that the open source alternatives are as good as MS enterprise products is hogwash, otherwise no one would use them. Nothing can do what Sharepoint can do, nothing can do what an MS Project infrastructure can do, nothing can organize a system like AD can. Yes, there are alternatives to them all, but they simply are not as good. So giving non-profits free licensing to all that is a HUGE step up, since all they need is a decent sysadmin and they can run their organization with the same tools as the Fortune500.
RIP. I dont like Macs. I dont like iPhones. But I'm no idiot, they were truly brilliant and revolutionary, and mostly because of him. However, I do LOVE Toy Story, and I hope the world takes a moment to reflect on that particular bit of genius that we will never see exactly the same again.
What if you don't 'touch' anything to turn off the screen saver, like blow on the mouse to move it etc... normally Im all about personal privacy, but i figure if they already have a warrant to be in your house, anything on a screen not behind a password is probably fair game, sorta like an unlocked drawer...
