In most states, a successful entrapment defense requires the defendant to prove three things:
* The idea of committing the crime came from law enforcement officers, rather than the defendant.
* The law enforcement officers induced the person to commit the crime. Courts have traditionally maintained a high burden of proof for inducement. Simply affording the defendant the opportunity to commit the crime does not constitute inducement. For inducement to be proved, officers must have used coercive or persuasive tactics.
* The defendant was not ready and willing to commit this type of crime before being induced to do so. If an undercover cop bought cocaine from a person carrying a kilogram of the drug, the seller could not plead entrapment, even if coercion were involved in the sale, since his intent to sell was clear. Most courts also allow a defendant's predisposition to be demonstrated through prior conduct or reputation.
So you are saying purchasers have no right to communicate among themselves? The prices they pay is their business, is it not? Maybe it's you that should seek a country with fewer freedoms.
"text ads for digital cameras aren't likely to work very well since all the readers probably have them"
The digital camera market is sufficiently matured so that people who own and use a digital camera are much more likely to buy a new one than someone whose digicam sales resistance remains intact in 2006!
Your little snitfit over critics of how you spend your playtime is out of place.
This has nothing to do with Jack Thompson, and little to do with video games. The local police who busted these girls probably have no idea who Jack Thompson is.
This story is about paranoia regarding boxes with question-marks on them.
Until we emerge from this fearful era, spontaneous outbursts of public art will be perceived by many as a terrorist act.
Women, unlike men, are raised in a culture that STILL often teaches they will find their "completion" in a relationship with a man. And for some people, male and female, their "other half" never shows up.
These poor women will pay any price if it holds the prospect of "true love," because they are so indoctrinated. That's why the law is needed, to prevent exploitation of the cinderella myth.
If Great Expectations had paid me a couple of hundred, I'd have serviced these ladies, and GE would've kept a tidy, secure profit.
I wish I had a VoIP business in San Francisco right about now. WiFi VoIP phones soon to arrive. Unlimited calling for $5 a month would be fair, once the competition gets going.
Somebody says "build your own" and one guy questions his "professionalism" (are you getting paid for this? I'm not.) and another goes ballistic over a joking use of the word "n00b."
But worse is claiming that a Dell purchase is cheaper than assembling your own. Maybe it's a near match, if you don't already own your chosen operating system. But since I do own Windows, as does anyone who's ever bought a Windows PC, for 1/2 the price of their 80 gig drive, 256 MB system, I can put together a system with 400 gigs drive space, a gig of memory, and better-rated mobo and processor.
If you don't build your own PCs, you just wouldn't know. Just go to New Egg (not the cheapest online retailer, but the best in service) and price your dream gear -- then go to dell, and find the equivalent, and price that. Then you'll know.
The PC I'm running now cost me only a couple of hundred; because I've built my own systems since 1995 (before that I was all-Mac), I already had an excellent case, two perfect 200 gig hard drives a solid, generous power unit and a flat panel monitor.
You see, when you build your own, you don't need to build in eventual failure to guarantee future sales. You don't need to buy duplicates of things that you already own, and consign the previous generation to landfill.
Build your own. By the third or fourth one, it's easy.
A little more on the above. Chinese govt is on an anti-porn rampage (it says here) Baidu.com's search engine is reportedly saddled with a banlist of 40,000 keywords. Seems that might disturb even non-porn searches.
Starting with your poor spelling ("plagiarism," please) and extending to your questionable use of the archaism "whilst," one must indeed question the credentials of those who so eagerly sought your writing skills.
Remember, those ads where some soft drink outfit hired kids who were RIAA-busted to admit theur guilt and regret, and endorse an Itunes promotion as the cool way to download music for free? Capitalism's finest hour.

Google, judging from this link, believes in neither DRM nor copyright.
However, Criterion and Universal Studios might deem this to be "evil."
bad example

Re: The alternate outcome
"Honesty will always afford you a better result than trying to hide the truth."
Grow up. Lies are not only essential social lubrication, they are necessary for any truly honest person's physical survival.
Those who believe they are consantly truthful are merely in thrall to consensus reality.
No Subject Given

I haven't reloaded minutes in my pay-as-you-go cell in 4 months. Will be traveling next weekend, so I'll probably use it then. Two, maybe three times.
Review
People are so out of the habit of critical thinking that an opinion different from their own becomes a problem.
Anyway, what a fine film! Margot is definitely tha hot!!! Does Kevin Federline know about her? Hold onto your man, Britney!
And the little bit of kung fu at the end reminds us that this is not coming from a bunch of namby-pamby Demos.
I worry, though, about what happens to little Timmy when he tries to guilt-trip his big brother.
hey, buddy
Psssst. [whisper] Usenet is still the King of Thieves. [/whisper] Keep it under your hat.

one rumor floated in the Yahoo Finance message board: Baidu has removed porn links from their database. Seems plausible. Consider the source, though.

It was David J Cadenhed, MD, MEd, who came up with the creative spelling for plagiarism; you are carrying the same mangled subject line as well.
I've corrected the header, so please do carry on.
