I read there were some calls inbetween that he didn't count. After that, he asked to be put on their Do Not Call list, and they still called a few more times. So violations for the first few and the last few.
But the valuable lesson they would draw from it all is "we need to patent every thought a Microsoft employee has", which is probably not the lesson you're imagining.
But then why do exchanges feel free to reverse trades after the flash crash, but not after something like this flash freeze? From a non-trader's perspective it's as if they do whatever they like.
And in the minds of everyone in the group, you are trying to tar a number of people with the same brush. It grates on us that you write like you don't understand it's a civil case. But you are more important than everyone else, so let's use your method.
I know you're right. I know the term isn't "stealing" and that it's incorrect to use that term (and you'll notice that I didn't). But it's not me you have to convince. You have to convince everyone who doesn't understand the subtleties and swooping in to correct casual usage is not going to help you convince anyone, it's going to make you look annoying.
It's as if you correct everyone who uses the term "soccer" by saying "It's actually 'football'" or correcting everyone who conflates a alligator and a crocodile in casual conversation. In the end people will just ignore you.
I disagree, since both soccer and football are correct terms. It's more like calling it basketball (they are both ball sports, right?), so the correction is warranted.
I am not "swooping in," I noticed your comment and decided to remark that your terminology is incorrect. I did this because by referring to it as stealing you are taking part in the rhetoric that supports such acts as PIPA and SOPA.
I also recall a few years back there was a man charged with a felony for "digging fossils" with his son in the wrong place.
And a man charged as a sex offender for grabbing a child that ran in front of his car (to lecture him).
I found another where a man was charged with felonies for throwing seed pods at police, but that's not really an "every-day accidental crime."
So, yes, most incidents are misdemeanors, but if you commit them in the wrong place, at the wrong time, or with the wrong people present, it can be a felony.
For the dragon, you can use a password field to hide the name, which satisfies the requirements.
Actually I think the image field is a good idea, just have everyone use a typed alias and then draw/render what they want to be called. Maybe an image and/or a sound, to be more inclusive.
