I remember that the detectives working on the Soham case in 2002 sent a voicemail to one of the missing girl's phones and then appealed on TV for their abductor to listen to the message. At the time this seemed like quite a strange thing for the detectives to do (people were a lot less savvy about phone evidence back then). It got a lot of coverage in the press.
In retrospect I wonder if it was a stingray-type gambit, whereby if the abductor turned the phone on they would be able to trace exactly where they were. I don't think it got mentioned in court so perhaps it was unofficial/inadmissable

its how we roll in Windows land, GUIs over command line mostly
true, you need some screenshots to teach someone a new trick
but then when they've done it once they'll remember it because GUIs really help for that kind of stuff
whereas for command line you'll have to google it every single time for the rest of your life unless its something you do regularly
You can't teach a corporation manners. If you are going to talk about corporations as if they are people (and legally they want us to treat them as people) then you have to face that they are, technically speaking, artificial psychopaths (incapacity to experience guilt, failure to conform to social norms and respect the law, reckless disregard for the safety of others, deceitfulness in pursuit of profit, etc). Very powerful, immortal, artificial psychopaths.
