This is why I’m not a lawyer..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I was asked to “consult” with our VP of Legislative Affairs this afternoon in reference to an anti-spam bill. She showed me the current state law, the proposed state law and the latest Federal CAN-Spam Act. All 3 have a different definition of what an “access provider” is. Being an access provider gives you the right to sue people who don’t follow the rules. It’s going to take an army of lawyers and lobbyists to agree on what the wording should be in the new state law, and make sure it complies with the framework set out by the federal statute. It makes my head ache to just think about those conversations!

    It seems my laptop battery is on it’s last legs. I can only get about 15 minutes of time before it shuts itself down. It comes right back up, with plenty of charge, so I know it’s not a charging issue, it just seems to think it’s not charged and shuts the laptop off. HP’s…

    After further review with that PC this afternoon, there is obviously a very serious problem, maybe even a hardware issue with the network card. The system restore actually made the intermittent problems it was haivng with print jobs and emails much more acute. You can download things from the internet, the work network, etc. just…
