I'm not sure how it's less nefarious from a discovery viewpoint as I said below. It's just a cheat, a hack, albeit a commonly accepted one. It would hold no water in an effective and optimally-run business - so it goes that

Archiving my work email by forwarding to a personal email literally won me a decision against a former employer. When they can cut off your credentials in anticipation of firing you and they think it means you don't have access to tho

I think the word "can't" is the operative term and here it's being used to describe technical infeasibility, not legal interpretations or anything else. I can't explain it any better than that. (see how it works, I

There's an entire e-discovery "market"(updside down question mark) for software and services that are frequently quoted as running into six-figure territory at even the mention of the word "lawsuit" (actual quote).

that's why there are minimum legal requirements. they are minimal. you are not required to police your own website, even if it's full of illegal activity. the only way you would be responsible for doing so is if you a) affirmative

In the legal world, this is why something called "specific performance" is rarely ever enforced by the court. Say I hire someone to build me a house and they fail to do so for whatever reason. Should the court really be in charg

Can anyone answer this: wouldn't this information have been forced to be public as part of any successful criminal trial? Wasn't MIT's network setup directly at issue?

I read his original post on Volokh Conspiracy last night before going bed and just the act alone of reading it raised my blood pressure substantially and I had to shut down the computer. This guy is at the retirement age (not an judgment,

My old supervisor's son was just accepted to Zipfian. $14k sounds a lot better than $60k (I have no idea if he's paying sticker).

I'm already out of law school so unless you have a time machine, it's not something I will probably get into great depth with myself but I'm always glad to see more stuff like it pop up.

You can tell a good coffeeshop by the ambient temperature they maintain. If you're cold, they want you to get it and go. I'm lucky to have a coffeshop/arcade nearby. The owner wants you to stay, hang out, play games, read so

calling this a huge win and a massive victory wouldn't be much better, but it is a very respectable start

No problem and I should point out that I was being cynical when I said "we don't really care" with regards to trial/district courts. The sad truth is if you want to take someone to court or if you are taken to court, if

The court that this came out of has zero ability to set precedent (I mean other than that they decided a case that may go on to set precedent later). Federal district courts are like state trial courts. These judges can pretty much do all s

I switched from an Apple TV gen 2 and even the hackability with firecore didn't make up for all the issues I had. I knew within 5 minutes of using my Roku 3 that I had made the right decision (plus I sold the atv on ebay for a hefty m

I would love to just sit in on those meetings. It'd be like watching every disaster movie ever made - who gets believed and who sounds credible?

I think it's much more preferable that having (not!) next to phrases. Using quotation marks arose because there's no quick way to use a backwards question mark which was the traditional symbol.

Those are both examples where you would heavily expect suspension of disbelief so I don't think they're analogous to the purpose the OP is asking about. You're not testing your skills against people, you're testing them
