While I agree with you this isn't about censorship, from reading one of TFAs he did address the concern of taking those photos. He claims he offered to show what he shot to the security guard, but the security guard refused to confirm one way or the other. Was anyone in the wrong here? Probably not, it just seems like cases of people over reacting.
From the Texas law:
"Any activity that intimidates or threatens the student with ostracism, that subjects the student to extreme mental stress, shame or humiliation"
Wow...Texas really needs to work on their hazing laws...they just classified school as hazing.
perhaps one should read the article before accusing others of being hypocrites. The shuttle was being used to launch 3 satellites for various agencies. As a side note, they added that over 200 people's ashes were also on board, including Scotty. Just because people care more about the ashes being lost doesn't mean that the rocket didn't actually have a practical purpose.
wait a minute...now that i look at it again, a 3cm in diameter "cylindrical object" is 1.5 cm radium, not a 3 cm radius. The object you described should be priced at (pi)2.25*20*1.87 = $264.37, nearly 800 dollars cheaper than your original estimate. Then, if you want to leave a half cm thick wall, and hollow the rest, the price is 189.34 - (pi)*1.5625*20*1.87 + 2*(pi)*1.5625*1.87*.5 (woops left the top and bottom out of my original estimation) = $14.93. I'd say that would be a reasonable price, you?
yes, but that's a solid cone. The only way to put more material into it would be a sphere instead. So, why don't you instead make a hollow cylinder with 1 cm thick walls, and now you have ((pi)9*20-(pi)4*20)*1.87 =587.18, or if you want a half a centemeter thick, you now have it reduced to 322.95. Not a good deal, but the more detail you have, the cheaper it gets.
Whether a border search is reasonable depends on a judicial analysis that balances the intrusion into an individuals legitimate privacy and dignity interests against the governments legitimate interest in the subject of the search.
To me this seems like it's improperly balanced to the interest in the subject, but what do I know...after all, i'm not a politician.
Sprint has been saying that the fees are to recoup the losses of subsidized phones if a person exits a contract early, but were unable to show how it worked like that. In reality, it appears the fee was a penalty for changing providers, and as such, in accordance with California fair trade laws, the judge ruled that part of the contract void.
CD penalties are not in place to prevent you from giving the money to another bank. I've always seen it more as a "if you withdraw your money too soon, you won't make as much money" (correct me if i'm wrong that early withdrawal will actually cause the CD value to be less that what was paid for). As for speeding tickets, it's not a penalty for contract violation, it's a fine for breaking the law.
just as a quick point in reference to Steam, there is an option to bring the game "offline" and and still be ensured that it will work properly. If steam is going to go down, all you have to do is bring the games you bought offline.
um...I hate to burst your rant, but for AT&T, it was in their contract saying wireless users can not use P2P. It's not like AT&T is booting them for copyright infringement...just lagging down networks with P2P.
I think it varies by car type/shape of the gas can. I've driven cars that do that, and i've driven cars which go steadily down at the same rate. The only constant is putting empty above where the tank actually is empty.
TFA is saying that distance-colleges have to have some way to verify that the person on the computer is the person who signed up for the course. This could be a camera, or a fingerprint scanner, a typing analysis program, a photo, or a combo of the above. It's not spying 24/7 or anything like that, just using the devices during some assignments.
While I won't agree to your final assessment until I see some data on it, I like the general idea of opt in/out of parts of banking which you don't like. If you don't trust humans, I agree you should be able to opt out, just as you have to opt in (usually) to say you are in favor of electronic banking.
yes, but at least then you either A) have been held up/robbed in person and know you are being robbed, or B) have a person on record as the person who handled your account. Seems better to me.

wait...does that mean I should move my car to the McDonalds parking lot instead of the bank one?

People get wet?
I think the surprise is that the Colbert Bump actually exists rather than just all being in his mind.
That's when you pull a mythbusters and hold a sheet in front of you. Except now, the sheet is invisible.

I was unaware that "being able to see" meant cartoony.

Not only was he incinerated, but then they blew up the ashes.

So, if your in Canada, Canada's laws should protect you, right?

Yes, both him and bowser keep terrorizing wherever they go, yet they are allowed in.
Who would do better at the 100m freestyle, Jesus or Mohammad?
Jesus, he would sprint to the finishline.
If the Media isn't reporting on it, please tell where you found out about it.

not if he's leaving the country, but what country would be willing to harbor him? I hear nigeria is nice this time of year.

well, don't create an online account, and viola, you aren't subject to their vulnerabilities.
yes, but at least then you either A) have been held up/robbed in person and know you are being robbed, or B) have a person on record as the person who handled your account. Seems better to me.
