I'm informed by a retired IRS auditor that they well may drop the tax case if there's no money to recover, which after a bankruptcy and judgements could be true. Unless they find another shoe-box of cash :D.
First thing, ask the court to remove the cases to California since obviously that will me more convenient for all the parties. It would be interesting to see Nunes fight that.
"Apple knows that some users will be driving and looking at text messages and Apple can manufacture their product to prevent that foreseeable harm"
They already do- all iThings have an on/off switch and many have a "silent" mode.
Or do you imply the devices should -automatically- silence themselves (as the lawsuit suggests)? That's a whole different kettle of worms. That would also suggest that even built-in devices, such as Tesla's control panel, shouldn't be accessible to the driver while they're operating the car.
If I lived there, I'd be organizing the other residents to drive back and forth through the checkpoints as often as possible; give the BP folks something more to do and make a recording of each crossing.
This is why you should NEVER, EVER, split corporate shares 50/50. If a lawyer set up this S corp, IMNSHO they were, at best, lax in their advice (or more accurately negligent in their duty to the client).
Y'know, it's far more likely that a local TSA manager thought this would be a "good idea" and told United in SD, and nobody bothered to ask questions about it; it's usually some flunky that makes everyone look bad.
In most states, you must have a license to represent yourself a "professional engineer" (a term of art), abbreviated PE. This usually only applies to the licensed disciplines of civil, electrical, and mechanical (any others?). Call yourself a doctor, lawyer, dentist (or PE), and it's implied that you have that license. Everywhere, except apparently Oregon, the bare word "engineer" does not.
I can call myself a "software engineer" or "computer engineer" all I want, and if I operate a locomotive, even just "engineer".
Yep. I live less than 10 air miles from San Francisco and have the "options" of-- 2 providers over existing twisted pair (Sonic & ATT) 1 provider over existing CATV cable (comcrap) 2 fixed wireless (maybe, might be too far) 1 satellite provider (Hughes, with huge latency)
Only one of the TP providers and maybe one of the fixed-wireless providers will give me static IPs, which I need (and please don't argue with me about that). AFAICT none of them will install "business" service into a residence.
The basic problem with all the arguments against net neutrality are that they conflate content and carriage. Consider that after AT&T Divestiture in the 1980s (and wireline voice traffic is regulated), the *content* industry blossomed. What made it work is that the telcos were -required- to carry everyone's traffic (and they made money off that).

So... if chalking a wheel is a trespass, is putting a citation under the windshield wiper also a trespass?
('round here, most cities use ALPRs to see if the car was within the regulated zone in the last nn minutes; the officer only stops to place the cite.)

Or from the other side, if you found the compartment, it wasn't secret, was it?. A secret is only a secret if the other person doesn't know about it.
Perhaps the gentleman from Massachusetts means hidden...but then pretty much all cars have spaces that would count as hidden.
