  Who caused the disruption?

  on Teens Sue School After Being Disciplined For MySpace Photos
  I think the 2nd poster had it right. The disruption clearly came from the person that distributed the pictures at school. It's not any different than if they took a 'Playboy' to school and showed it around. The only difference is that the people in the pictures go to the school, so the principal had an easy target. And the whole appology to the coaches thing is clearly a power play on the school's part. Why humilate the girls more? I'm pretty sure if I gave a crap about political correctness that I would call that harassment of a minor. It's a clear example of a person in a position of authority abusing that power to manipulate a person with no power. Welcome to high school girls!

  Bri said: "So at this point, why in the hell isn't the judge holding them in contempt of court??? That better be the next step, along with jail time for anyone involved in not relinquishing the information."
  
  That's what I was thinking. Starting putting people in jail for contept and you'll start getting the documents you asked for.

  blog the pictures

  on Washington Redskins Won't Let Washington Post Blogger Show Photos Of Upset Fans; WaPo Caves
  Maybe someone should start a 'fan' site for the disgruntled fans to post their own pictures. Of course they couldn't use the Redskins name, because someone might confuse it for an official Redskins site, since it seems likely that the Redskins would post a bunch of picture of people that are pissed at the team onwer! If I gave a cr@p about the 'Skins I'd start the site myself, but I'm sure SOMEBODY in the DC area knows how to sign up for a blogger account.
  
  BTW, wasn't it a Redskins' TE that posted a picture of the playbook he was studying on his personal blog last year. A picture taken of the book in his lap -- where he wasn't wearing any pants . . . and posted it just before going to the game. The post was up for the entire game. He claimed he didn't realize his privates were in the picture.
  
  Seems like the 'Skins could use a lesson in tech-savvy.

  back this up on your iPhone

  on How Did Danger Not Backup Its Servers? How Did Microsoft Allow Such A Failure?
  I use my winMo phone with g-mail and google-contacts. Instant update and back up with over-the-air automatic sync. Doesn't seem to be a problem. Cheez-it.
  
  And while AT&T tries to tell me what apps I can run on my phone (no worries, it's unlocked now ;) ), Microsoft can't kill anything - unlike the iPhone.

  payola

  on As If Performance Royalty Threat Wasn't Enough, ASCAP, BMI Want To Increase Radio Royalties
  So if the radio stations have to pay higher royalty rates, does that mean the record companies have to pay more payola to the stations so their artists get more air play? Cheez-it (that's how it's done).
  
  That is how it works isn't it?
