In the US judges and courts are notoriously poor at understanding technology. So I wouldn't worry about that. However you could always verify the pics when you move in and out as Synsensa says. You could take printouts to a notary public and have them stamped, even, to validate when they were taken.

Have edited photos as evidence ever come up as an issue in US courts?
I thought a lawyer would be needed. That seems kind of excessive.
Everything has come up in American courts. However a rent and security deposit dispute is in most cases going to be in small claims court. And quite frankly they are not going to spend much time and effort on verifying things. They have neither the time or the budget. So long as you have put some effort into documenting things, it ought to hold up. Particularly if the other side has not documented it.
Sure.
Jomini came first, and was initially much more popular than Clausewitz (whose book was only widely read outside Prussia after the 1860s, when Helmuth von Moltke referred to it as the foundation of German military success). Although he is known for popularizing some concepts, like maneuvering on interior lines, Jomini's most enduring contribution to military theory is his effort to fit warfare into a more logical system: one that consisted of problems to be solved, and appropriate solutions to those problems dictated by the laws of war.
Clausewitz's book is much more all-encompassing. Vom Kriege has sections on things that Jomini never really touched upon, like the interaction between the conduct of war and the political leadership of the state, the experience of war by soldiers and to a greater extent commanders, and the impact of the so-called fog of war, sometimes referred to as "[Clausewitzian] friction". Clausewitz was explicitly nondogmatic, in sharp contrast to Jomini, and argued that context was supreme in each individual war, that they were all products of their times. He was the first to tentatively explore the relationship between tactics and strategy, although he never formulated any concept of operations himself. And he was a philosopher and teacher, who employed a sort of dialectic to try to push readers towards their own informed conclusions rather than devising dicta outright in many cases. This has led to wildly varying opinions about his work and what was most relevant in it. For pre-WWI German officers, it was his analysis of the relationship between tactics and strategy; for American officers in the period of the Revolution in Military Affairs, it was his discussion of the relationship between politics and strategy.
There's no real need to set the writers in opposition to each other, as formulating alternative and mutually exclusive conceptions of war. Jomini was first and foremost a military theorist; Clausewitz was theorist, philosopher, historian, and teacher all wrapped up in one. While certain of Clausewitz's themes can be read in opposition to Jomini's - chiefly, Clausewitz's insistence on not being dogmatic and on the importance of fog, friction, and moral forces - others synthesize reasonably well.
Sure they are admissable. If the judge thinks they are doctored it won't do you any good, but that entails either a terrible judge or the landlord doing something (most obviously producing his own images).
For a case in small claims court, you should be safe. Often you will also get the benefit of the doubt over the landlord to make things even easier for you
You cannot ask for an applicant's age in Canada. Specific laws will vary by province, but discriminating based on age is a charter issue (so even if you are technically allowed to ask, you cannot not hire someone because they refuse to answer and you open yourself up to lawsuits. If you are worried about a candidate's age, you see them at the interview to make an approximaton and choose someone else (if they ask, "we felt that the other candidate was a better fit in our organization").
There are a few exceptions where you can enquire if someone meets a specific threshold. Minimum wage can vary with age (in Ontario those under 18 are under student minimum wage) so you need some way to determine if they meet that point on a minimum wage job. As well stating that you are legally entitled to work the job will set a minimum age for most positions (14 for service type jobs to 18 for mines in Ontario).

Thanks for the answer, much appreciated. I suppose being forced to choose which one to follow in Victoria focuses on those differences.
Yeah, but it does so in a nonsensical way. As I recall, picking the Jominian attitude gives a boost to morale, while picking the Clausewitzian theory improves organization. Given Clausewitz's insistence on moral force as one of the centerpieces of war, this is a bit absurd.

Hm. That's interesting. I can understand how it protects against discrimination. Thanks!

Simply for the sake of worrying? No. But little stress outs over stuff force me to do stuff, so as a means to an end I say yeah.

Worrying about things you can control could go either way. It could motivate you to deal with a problem, as rLf says. Or it can make the problem seem bigger than it really is, and make you reluctant to deal with it.
I don't see how worrying about things you can't control is ever useful. But I think it is a normal human reaction and difficult to avoid.
@ Borachio I would imagine you could but I have not yet suceeded in doing so.

I'm jealous, that sounds like fun. I want to go to Australia and I even have some Spanish-Australian cousins there that I've never met. I don't have the money though.

I'm pretty excited. I went to America two years ago but never got there. I'm fascinated by bears.
