Yes, we can. We just have to turn ourselves in. if they fail to arrest us after getting a written confession and evidence handed to them, we go out and get the media and try again.
While calling CNN will not work, local reporters don't care that they work for people who work for an affiliate of a network owned by the people who wrote the laws you're protesting. There's too much indirection there, and even if the local media is corrupt, it's locally corrupted, they don't care what the *AA says.
And, honestly, I see no reason for them not to arrest us, some people are too paranoid here. The police won't have to do any work. They simply fill out a few forms and, hey, another bust on their record. And it's a nice written confession and everything.
While I agree with you about the 85-90, I have to ask: Where in Atlanta is there a 70 mile an hour speed limit? The only 70 mile an hour speed limits I know about are on 985 and 575, at least 50 miles north of Atlanta. (And I know Atlanta is growing, but calling 2/3 of the way to Athens 'Atlanta' is stretching it.)
And, unless I'm mistaken, the speed limit on the perimeter, on 75-85, and on 400 is 55. I can't imagine there being roads that are faster than those in Atlanta.
Of course, I don't know the south side of town very well...
Speeding is not civil disobedience, unless you're doing it in front of a cop car with a cameraman. (Which, actually, could work to get the speed limit changed on a road, if you show that cops will not pull you over for going a large amount over the limit.)
Civil disobedience is doing something delibrately to get jailed, or to force the authorities not to jail you due to public pressure, even though you broke the law in front of them.
Contrary to what people assume, the law you break does not have to be the law, or public policy, you are protesting, and in fact might not even be a law. Like the delibrate trespassing of a few feet at protests of companies then immediately surrendering to police. You aren't protesting the laws against trespassing (One would assume. For all I know there are people that do that.), you're protesting the actions of a company. You want the news stations to scream how 50 people peacefully got themselves arrested to protest X. It's considered polite to inform the police of this beforehand.
To be civil disobedience, you have to say "Come arrest me, I'm right here.". In fact, you want to be arrested, or you want to make a point the police know what you did but didn't arrest you.
Wrong. Speeding tickets are not an issue, as almost no one fights those. If everyone did fight those, the system would, in fact, collapse. And speeding tickets don't let you have a jury trial, anyway.
And police only giving ticket to the people they can catch itsn't the point. You get a trial, it's an actual crime. They have to appoint you a lawyer, grab 12 random people, and have a real trial.
And the point is that they don't catch you, you turn yourself in. If they wouldn't arrest you for walking into a police station citing chapter and verse of the crime you've committed, with a written confession and evidence in hand, I'm sure the local news station would be slightly interested.
They have to arrest you, they have to give you a trial, all that crap. it's not anything like sitting on the side of the road and enforcing a bad speed limit against a few random people.
In the first history, before they go back, those whale went extinct hundreds of years ago. In the new history, after they went back, those whales also went extinct hundreds of years ago.
The only different is, now, there were two whales, in the present.
Anyone who tried to make that 'altering the past' doesn't have a very clear concept of what 'the past' is. That is, in fact, altering the present.
Now, metaphorically, it's 'fixing the wrongs of the past', but that would probably be much beyond your level. Regardless of the metaphor, they went into the past to change the present. Changing the present, of course, is what every single person does all the time.
All films, presumably, alter the present. Pretty damned silly if they didn't. (Sometimes the alteration is just in a person's head, though, like the last TNG episode.)
Brent wants them to kill of his character not cause he's getting typecast but because he's a fricken person, not an ageless android, and feels he's getting too old to play the part.
I think it would be completely hilarious to have John DeLancy show up secretly manipulating events, but only viewers who knew he was Q have even a suspicious of it. Have him play a Star Fleet Admiral or something for a few episodes.
He would have no chance to present evidence about whether or not his was 'actually' an open relay. The blacklists define what they are calling an open relay, and listing, and he fits that. It doesn't matter what any other definition is. The list says 'We are blocking X, Y and Z, because those setups allow spammers to send emails and thus are open relays'. He is Y. Hence it is not slander.
As for suing over the first email, he has no evidence the first email even existed. It's rather inane to sue about theft of something that you merely extrapolate existed months later.
And he doesn't have to take any responsibility at all. He can merrily sit on his intranet all day long, unless his ISP pulls his plug.
No, the other solution is to use your ISP's already existing relay server.
People rightly don't accept email from dynamic IPs. It is nearly impossible to trace them down and get them removed from the internet, and block is also very difficult.
However, your problem is that your IP is incorrectly listed as a dialup. This means your ISP has fallen down on the job and either incorrectly submitted your name to a list that keeps track of those, or has assigned you a static IP right in the middle of dynamic one.
The fact a device will eventually fail due to breaking down does not make it any less of a perpetual motion machine. Batteries that remain 'topped up' yet mange to power something are perpetual motion, it doesn't matter that they only run for two year or something.
You cannot put a battery in a vehicle, use it, and remove it and still have the charge you started with, that violates the laws of physics. Even if you can only use it once. You have to have less power then you started with, especially after 'hundreds of miles'.

That has to be the stupidist idea I've ever heard. I've never seen anyone else order a sub like me, but, more to the point, I've never seen anyone order a sub the same way as anyone else.
Just have him stand back from the line for ten people and see if he can come up with a sane default that would almost fit 25% of the people who order. He won't be able to do it.
About the only 'default' topping is lettuce. From that point on, everyone picks other stuff. (And, of course, some people don't get the lettuce, but very few of them, usually people who are ordering no toppings at all.)
What I want is a little machine in the booth. You stick your card in there when you're done.
Instead of just keeping it, the machine reads it, and tells you who you did and did not vote for, and, more to the point, flashing a big warning if you voted for more than one person for any office.
Also should flash something if you didn't vote for everything, but not as big, because sometimes you don't want to vote for everything. (We had a state constitutional amendment I just could not figure out last time I was voting. I spent fifteen minuts reading over it in line, and five minutes in the booth. I finally just said 'I have no idea.' and left it blank.)
Actually, scratch that first part. If you vote for too many people for an office, they should just *reject* the card. Spit it back out and give you another one.
Note there's less chance of vote tampering with this system. The machine has a record of each vote, and then you run all the cards though another machine, also. If they add up, you're good as gold. If they don't add up, well, time to manually recount that machine and see what screwed up.
Also, each machine in the booth should print a barcode of what it thinks each vote was at the bottom of the ballot. That way we have a way to figure out which vote was read wrong, and an 'authority' on iffy votes. (If someone might or might not have punched the ticket, you go with what the machine in the booth presented to them at the time and they okayed.)
As an aside, you can do this completely backwards, when you pick who you want to vote for on a machine, which then prints out a normal looking ballot, which you okay and then deposit in the slot. (This has the same interface that old stupid people can't use, though, whereas the first one just has a message board, it doesn't even have to look like a computer.)
Both these methods have the advantage of electronic voting, with a punch card if something goes wrong.
I stand corrected. I don't really know why I said that, I know you can release your own source under any license at all.
My point was supposed to be that the NSA can't really release it under any license except GPL, because it's so tied to the Linux kernel. Sure, their code can be released under the BSD, but as their code is basically kernel patches, that's a bit silly.
