Juries can only decide based on the evidence and testimony they have. If these are flawed the jurors are liable to convict an innocent person because, essentially, they were lied to and had no point of reference to prove the lie. If OJ Simpson did not have money he would have convicted because "minor" issues like improper sample chain of custody would never have come out. In science, the analysis is only as good as the sample it is provenance.
The tables remind me, as an old chemist, of the periodic table that hangs in many classrooms. To me the obvious inspiration for both is that classic from about 1910 or so. So who is going rise out of the grave literally and sue the witch?
The underlying problem with phishing attacks is that many legitimate emails will arrive with attachments in one's corporate email over the course of a week. Some may be from people who are outside the company.
While my position is one were almost all my company email is internal and the few outsiders are well, many sales and technical support people deal with outsiders mostly. Many of these outsiders may legitimately need to send an attachment.

To me the basic problem with the ADA is the fact that what is a reasonable accommodation for one type of disability may often be harmful to another type of disability. Think of the wheel chair ramps on sidewalks; the blind used to use the 4" curb as a warning they were about to step into a street.
Re: Re: (1)(A)(ii) kicks the props from under pirate sites.
The real problem for an ISP or host service is they are not privy to any agreements with the copyright holders and the user/website. The DMCA actually tries to distinguish between the user, who may be infringing, and the service who is ignorant of the precise situation until notified. Common sense says there is a certain amount of infringement (deliberate and accidental) occurring.
The first computer I actually worked (did not own for obvious reasons) was an Univac 1108. The first programmable device I owned was an HP65? calculator. The first computer was an Apple IIe.
"Many people may not realize that a lot of "pirates" were much less interested in getting (or giving) stuff for free than they were in reaping the satisfaction of sticking it to these greedy, vindictive corporations."
Also, they never grasped that "pirates" could be used as free advertising. iTunes showed that most people would pay a reasonable price to download music and videos.
The vindictive part is all too true. Many have hard the horror stories of the music and film industry accounting practices that deny royalties to the artists. Many, who have some sense of ethics and morality, despise both industries and only weep crocodile tears over industry laments.
I knew a couple of musicians who told me the actual economics of producing a recording (~2000). If they could self publish the recording, a $10 cd at that time had a break even point somewhere around 3 to 5,000 units for a production lot of 10,000 cds.
With the judge staying in the middle, the troll will have a harder time recouping their money. The judge may require the troll to put a more realistic damage figure one might pay if one loses the case.
Entertainment money comes from most people's discretionary funds. Money spent on a movie is not available for a book or game. At some point, there will be no sale because there is no money available. Either one then "pirates" or goes without. The effect is the same no sale.

They never were and never will be. To varying degrees all educational establishments are bastions of propaganda. Only some are little more honest about it than others.
The best data on this used identical twins and found each had different fingerprints. Also, there has been no documented case of misidentification due to two people having identical fingerprints.
The problem with biometric systems is that once compromised there is ability to reset the fingerprint. With a password based system, users can change their passwords if needed.
Typing was a skill that many professionals did not master before ubiquitous computers. However, they did write letters, articles, etc using a pen and paper. Typing was done a typist who had to read the chicken scratching.
