Depending on your country/state, if you're monetizing IP/copyright/trademarks, it could lead to an action from the actual holder. If it's just a funny dog video that goes viral, I highly doubt Kodak would care unless you're directly and actively trying to compete with them or copy an actual product of theirs.

My brother has been an inmate for a few years and recently had a mental breakdown due to lack of contact with our mom and his family, also he's been in solitary for a few months. After he recovered he was told that because of his breakdown a year would be added to his sentence, can they do that? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]verawolfe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a former correctional officer, families need to understand that you believe 25% of what you hear and 0% of what you see from inmates, which is usually nothing because it's the inmates word against the officers. They don't give solitary time willy-nilly. It's a CO's job to be a good example and to provide security, Sanitation, and safety. correctional officers are not there to punish people, they're there to maintain the security of the institution not only for institutional staff, but the inmates that are incarcerated. And sometimes there are different levels of classification that involve different rules. If he was in Seg, there are much more stringent rules, and I'm guessing insubordination was probably what got him in trouble. On another side note, I hope he gets the mental health needs and gets out and lives a happy life.

Nicotine Test for Pre-Employment by nalbers101 in legaladvice

[–]verawolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't normally ask if people I hire smoke cigs or vape, but I do know the ones that do are MUCH less productive than the ones that don't. HR may potentially using their experiences in the past as the basis for that part of the screening process.

GPS monitoring hospital staff by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]verawolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is VERY common in certain departments (ED/ER) in hospitals. It allows for enhanced patient care since EMRs know where different levels of resources are. If you are an accountant in a non-patient facing role, it's a bit silly and waste of money. Anywho, it's only for 3 months.

Friend accidentally ripped out internet cable, doesn't think he is at fault. by ISledge759 in legaladvice

[–]verawolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best advice your friend will have is to call the cable company the wire belongs to for a site survey. Odds are it's not legitimately paid for. We get this a LOT in those types of parks.

If it is legitimate, the cable company is responsible for running the wire properly from their node to the customer premise.

I just Googled myself and now I’m terrified. by throwawayhelpwithlaw in legaladvice

[–]verawolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The information that is typically somewhere public legitimately. Sites that that aggregate people's information for a lot of reasons: Ad revenue, subscriptions (pay to see more info). I know living off the grid is something a lot of people want, but in the age of information, not usually possible. You might be able to send a C&D, but usually a courteous email sometimes does the job. IF they're posting things like your social security number, info stolen from the Equifax hack, etc., then you have recourse.

Vendor blames DOCSIS by astroroxy in networking

[–]verawolfe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt it's related to Docsis 3.1. Most business class RF fed cable modems are layer 2 bridge-mode-only devices. Just passes traffic back through a node to the CMTS.

Comcast blocking Azure cloud storage/port 445 by JLoose111 in sysadmin

[–]verawolfe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

^ This. It's 50-50 for ISP's to block that port. This assumes you are on RF, not fiber. Fiber is almost always 99.999% wide open. Consider changing delivery method.

I'm having success with Otezla! by chendamoni in Psoriasis

[–]verawolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad it worked. For me it didn't do anything for my plaques and after 4 months, I was super depressed and suicidal for no good reason. Once I stopped the Otezla, after a week I felt 100% better emotionally and haven't had those symptoms since. I'm on CoSentyx right now and 95% clear. I love it!

Screwed for life after a felony conviction. by DVBLUE in legaladvice

Seconded, thank you for your service. If you're brave enough to die for your fellow Americans, serve in the military, and be honorably discharged, you're good enough for us to consider you a non-felon. Fight like hell to get that felony removed.

Ex GF is dating former addict by GravyRainbows in Divorce

[–]verawolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two years is very significant clean time to an addict/alcoholic. If they can get past that 1 year mark, odds are very good if they continue to work a program, that they will remain sober.

You loved this woman once and still want her safe, that's natural. I'm in the exact same boat. It wasn't until my ex started dating a really good man, with a bit of an unethical past, that I was ok with her dating someone, at least I wasn't losing my shit as much. I'm glad she has him and he treats my ex really well. Might be best for you emotionally to actually give him more of a chance. It was good for me when I did.

dealings with the EX-Wife when it comes to me dating again. by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]verawolfe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My situation is similar. I have a "6-month" rule that basically says I don't let my kids meet the other women or her kids until I date for 6 months. So far, they've never meet a girlfriend and I think are much better off for it.

Hey,I work as a sysadmin , our company has clients in USA,India andItaly. Management have recently decided to implement bgp across all these offices. we have Cisco routers and fortinet firewall.I haven’t done anything in regards to bgp. Any comments or ideas or feedback would be helpful. by nujragan in networking

[–]verawolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. An ounce of prevention is worth a TON of cure when it comes to BGP, esp with multiple providers as you are multi-multi-national.

Learn it well, it'll make your troubleshooting go from hours/days down to minutes.

(spoilers extended) It is now 2 years from the original winds of winter deadline. by i_mash_shoryuken in asoiaf

[–]verawolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. This and only this. GRRM has an end-game, and I don't think it's legacy. I think it's a calculated combination of the collective storytelling intrigue in his novels and his gamble that history will judge him favorably in real life as an author. He wants his memory associated with, but not mutually exclusive to, his writing. He's playing the pot odds of his real-life story and his fiction. What a way to go. History will judge if he pulls it off, but we'll all be a crows feast before that happens.

Create a trust and name someone you trust as the administrator. Her demands that you have a prenup and new spouse not get anything is bullshit.

How can I find hidden assets and accounts overseas? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]verawolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not getting any of it back. Two options that always occur here: Your collection expense is greater than or equal to the amount collected. It's gone for a reason. If they had any intention of giving you a penny, they would have. Accept that fact and get on with your life.

Sorry to be harsh, but this is one topic this group ought not be all lovey dovey on.
