He was talking about criminal liability. Few jurisdictions have corporate criminal liability.

I really wish companies would stop with the "We don't own your content! We swear!" charade. I mean, no shit, why would you want to? You own a royalty-free, transferable, sub-licenseable license that lets you do whatever you want with our content, including sell it to other companies. You've literally got…

I'm guessing that depends on whether the value gained from showing people like you ads is greater than the value lost from people like you quitting FB.

It's not an abuse of science until you pretend it's true. I think maybe it's the homeopathists who need to change their ways.

Adam Carolla has long argued that instead of dogs, police should use trained attack crows. They're airborne, have basically unlimited range, and can recognize faces. In packs, they could easily take down a fleeing criminal. Police dogs would still be useful for indoor use and for sniffing purposes. I wonder how…

You probably already know this, but you can sue both the McDonald's worker and the corporation. It's not either/or.

"Too big to jail" has nothing at all to do with corporations being "people" or not. If you have a problem with the government's selective enforcement of laws, that's an entirely different gripe.

Mint can't access my accounts because my bank uses two-factor authentication. :(

First of all, I should say that I did not mean to imply that PhraseExpress was logging keystrokes for some nefarious purpose. I have no reason to believe that. I just meant that my trust threshold is higher when installing a program that has such privileged access.

You probably unchecked the default "install sample substitutions" box during install. It was mentioned in the original LH article on PhraseExpress, actually: http://lifehacker.com/5611210/how-to-use-text-expansion-to-save-yourself-hours-of-typing-every-day. See the warning to delete the "Websites" folder?

I'm a little concerned about Lifehacker's endorsement of PhraseExpress. The program seems to work well enough but I find it hard to put my trust in a company whose program replaces my website urls with their affiliate links, without (as far as I can tell) any notification or warning at all on the website or in the…

I agree with ian.g.case, but I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. How exactly does "the company" steal millions of dollars via fraud? If an employee or director commits criminal fraud, he can certainly go to jail.

I'll put you on if you find a way to turn that sword into a monitor.

I have great credit, but my wife's is only so-so due to some charged-off debt from a few years ago. What's the best way to make sure we get the best rate?

I'm a law student and I have a job lined up for after graduation. I'd like to buy a house in the new city and get settled in before work starts. Will I have trouble qualifying for a loan and buying a house since I technically don't have any income yet?
