"Can he/they honestly refuse to not enforce the law?"
If he can expect no recourse from Congress, he can safely ignore whatever the judiciary says. And in this case, with an election so close, my bet is on Congress leaving him alone. Whichever party wins, they know it would be bad if another terrorist attack occurred on their watch, so even if the Patriot Act is ineffective and actually counterproductive, they will want everything at their disposal to maintain their image.
It will be the responsibility of the losing party to bring down the Patriot Act after the election... only to reinstate it under another name before the following election.
"You probably mean "ain't going anywhere" or "is going nowhere""
I'm a grammar nazi, and even I realize that there's a time for bad grammar (for comedic effect). So you basically need to expand your sense of humor to correct the deficiency you are experiencing.
Someone at Google has too much time on their hands. I wouldn't trust Google Translate for everything... it looks like they've fixed it now, but as recently as a week ago, when you searched for the Russian form of Ivan the Terrible's name, Google would translate it into English as "Abraham Lincoln".
"The experiment validated the physical process behind the MMO concept, substantiating MMO's potential of enabling shorter interplanetary trip time for near-term space travel" - said AS&T Principal Investigator Ralph Ewig. "We are still far from constructing an actual vehicle, but the present research will chart the course for human missions to other planets in the near future."
With the average time between when space-related hardware is conceived and when it is finally developed and launched, I wouldn't expect to see one of these sitting on the launch pad until at least 2030. Considering that it's meant to carry humans and other specially-designed habitation hardware, that would push it back even further, maybe 2050 or beyond.
There was something like this in that masterpiece film Johnny Mnemonic (whose brain could carry a whopping 80 gigs of data!). The bad guy had this device the size of a ring that sits on his finger, and when he pulls out one end, it creates this laser rope that will cut through anything.
Being a UF student clearly doesn't imply that you have a brain in that thick skull of yours. Six cops holding him down, hand-cuffed, and he still needed to be tasered? You should write a letter to your mayor asking why your cops are such pussies. You should also write in your diary asking yourself why you're so afraid to go against the grain, or why you think people who speak up (whether they look like idiots or not) should be shut down; maybe you'll realize that you're just scared of people paying attention to you, whereas this guy clearly is not.
Fucking moron. Do us all a couple favors: Don't breed, and don't vote.
I don't know much about kerberos, but I do know that it has always been used in the national lab where I worked the last few years (Sandia Natl Labs). So apparently the government trusts it (not sure if that counts for anything)...
I'm looking for a motherboard that has DDR2 and DDR3 slots, but also a firewire port (and eSATA would be a plus), necessary for video editing. Any takers? I could only find one by Gigabyte on newegg but the reviews are mixed.
I'm so used to crap like c|net that I immediately went searching for a "printer-friendly" (aka, ad-free) version of the article, but lo and behold, that's not necessary. To think, I could actually read an article online without having to navigate through the usual nightmare... what an intriguing concept!
I said "yeah, suuure" the first time I read his statement that eavesdropping foiled a terrorist plot. Did any news outlets actually regurgitate his message without checking out the facts? Are those same news outlets now conveying the truth?

"before the terrorist attacks of September 11th unleashed a torrent"
It took me a couple reads before I realized that "torrent" has other possible meanings unrelated to file-sharing. It must be from all the Cheetohs and dampness in my parents' basement - it's a breeding ground for disease and lethargy.
So Opportunity is finally descending into Duck Bay, the gentlest slope on the edge of the crater. What other bays were being considered? Check out this map. Apparently, the alternatives were named "Bottomless Bay", "Bay of Toil", and "Valley Without Peril". Who comes up with these names, and how can I apply for that job?

I'm not sure what point-like world you live in, but I'm in the 3-dimensional world here.

I've never seen a better reason to start speaking in Ubbi dubbi.
I'll never be relaxed because my dragon ain't going nowhere no matter how relaxed I get.
I tried submitting this to Slashdot but it wasn't accepted. It did get picked up on the InsideGoogle blog. They have some photos and discussion.

"Oh look at them, they're trying to crack our codes..."
"Oh look, they're actually succeeding. How intriguing!"
"Hey, wait a sec, they're pointing those missiles at use. I continue to be intrigued!"

Just as that sock of yours doesn't have enough room for what you keep spil... ok, ok, I've gone too far.
I apologize.
