I think if the sender and recipient in your described scenario are consenting then they should not be charged with these laws. That is not the intent of those laws. Even if the recipient is not consenting, the sender should also be charge

I'm very upset that this is the top comment on here. 14 year old teenagers are definitely children and they do need to be protected by law from predators. Just because they are old enough to have children of their own doesn't ma

Derivative does not equal swap. MBS is definitely a derivative. It's a bond whose price and cash flow is based on an underlying pool of loans. The mortgage loans themselves are not derivatives, but mbs are. Stock options are cash p

But I agree with gregpilling. Why did they have to add all of those untested features to the spec. Is sapphire glass really better or is it just a fancy sounding gimmick? And what's up with "Silicon-anode Li-ion?" More RA

I don't think anybody is recommending small companies host their own hardware, just that they own their own hardware. Renting a full cabinet at a premier datacenter costs under 2k / month and bandwidth there is far less than band

The 1/3 rule applies well: If you are only using the server one third of the time then AWS is a good deal. That could mean 8 hours per day or 10 days per month or 4 months per year. In those cases AWS/public cloud is more effic

yeah, 256MB of RAM is just not enough. The CPU speed is not relevant when you have so little memory to work with. I guess it's an OK deal for $79, but it's not going to do a good job running javascript apps with so little RAM.

That's interesting. What did you learn about yourself from the test and what changes did you make after that?

Not a lawyer, but I'm pretty certain that you're wrong. There are 2 types of claims, dependent and independent. dependent are those that refer to a previous claim and expand on it, (2 and 3 above). Claim 1 above is independent.

I think if someone was suing me that re-examination taking a long time would be to my benefit. How much does re-examination cost the defense? Does the defense typically notify PTO which claims should be invalidated and why? Why does the
