    Fence/Communal Driveway QUEENS

    Sorry to hear about your problem. The answer to your real estate problem is that it's not as simple as whether what you've built is solely on your property. It also depends upon what New York City code requires. You state that the fence was built after discussing it with lawyers - can you...

    Slander involving local news

    Reputable and established television news stations and print media typically report stories which contain second hand information relayed as "allegations" - e.g. "yesterday a local store in Los Angeles alleged that Mr. X was harassing female customers." Whether X actually harassed the customers...

    How do I practice my legal right to live in a tent without getting the police to mess with me

    Homelessness is a problem and wonder whether that is your reason for setting up a tent in public spaces. There are homeless shelters and I wonder if any state provides homeless areas outdoors where you can set up your tent. I consider the potential for problems legal liability that might...

    I do know about differences in approach to Fintech and regulations but that's about it. I've studied Malaysia's regulatory sandbox - Malaysia's Financial Technology Enabler Group (FTEG) which is quite impressive. Home

    Anybody missing the Report and Edit buttons?

    No, this doesn't seem to be an OS-related issue but an add-on related issue that shouldn't have affected the functionality. We didn't upgrade anything yet although there is talk about the next version, etc. but I really don't see any benefits. I'm considering getting rid of some of the...

    Anybody missing the Report and Edit buttons?

    I think I've found the issue people... I'll have it remedied tonight. This is what happens when you've got literally dozens of addons, numerous customizations, etc. etc. And I can't understand why it happened all of a sudden but have an idea as to why. We shall have it done then. Thanks so much...

    Is it illegal to post/publish realistic drawing/artwork of my ex-girlfriend?

    Just a note... I think Livin La Vida Loca was Ricky Martin, not Coldplay. :D

    Money Gram

    Of course it's different. Once you ask someone else to do something for you, they have a right to protect themselves from potential harm which may be related to you. And yes, you must bear the burden of people making decisions as a result of your potential associations. If you're a close...

    Money Gram

    I'll address your question even though it's a late reply. Monetary remittances services are subject to strict regulations, commonly referred to as know your customer (KYC) or Customer Identity and Verification (CIV). They are often subject to great scrutiny because of anti-money laundering and...

    eBay seller is saying he will take me to small claims court.

    I agree with all of the above even though I generally don't trust what eBay operators may tell you, although it's probably accurate. To cover yourself, send an inquiry into support to confirm your understanding of what you were told. You should be fine refusing the package but you should...

    Sexting as a minor

    Did you commit a crime? I'm not even sure that you did at your age. In addition, as @mightymoose implies, if you cease contact, what reason would a district attorney want to spend taxpayer money to prosecute someone for a technical violation where there doesn't appear to be a lingering harm? Too...

    Book publishing

    Short quotes by themselves are often not copyrightable, which is why you'll see many books of quotes (however a compilation of selected quotes can certainly be subject to copyright.) As others warn, don't take general loose statements such as these as absolute although you can also use logic as...

The attorney's job is to protect the interests of the company. Sending you a letter which...

    Fry’s electronics laptop

    Agreed and thanks for the reminder and it is a good point. I mention discussion because Fry's is a well known retailer and I recall them having a good support team that can explain the situation clearly. Many are reasonably good at remedying something small, e.g. not making a payment on time...
