Export duties are unconstitutional. Objects imported for re-export are not subject to duty (odd example: a diamond to be used as the lens on a Venus probe was imported without customs duties, because the probe was one-way), either.
A brand new camera purchased out of the US would obviously be of interest to the Customs Inspectors. An old one, too, although at a lower valuation (people wanting European luxury cars used to be told to take a trip there, buy it, and drive it for a few weeks so that it was legally a used car, rather than new, then ship it home).
More to the ozspeed's question, if it could be shown that the ripped music would be legally ripped in the USA (eg, your children playing music from the 19th century) you would be fine. Your rip of a Metallica CD, even with the CD beside it, would probably not qualify. Best bet would be to import just the original media, and equipment capable of re-ripping them, like a source-appropriate VCR or DVD player.
So, if Soviet spies during the early Cold War had managed to publish what they took from the Manhattan Project in a Swiss newspaper, rather than secretly passing it to the NKVD or GRU, would this make them less of enemies of the USA because the secrets were promulgated to others, including American citizens NOT authorized for that info, as well?
Sorry, drinkypoo, but you've had one too many. Snowden, if he aided the enemy, did not NOT aid the enemy because his method of passing on info was to broadcast it to everyone.
If guilty of rape, a criminal offense with minimum sentences of several years, how do they garnish his wages for child support, let alone garnish them so much that he cannot afford to pay? Getting her unwillingly pregnant is a tort, and she should be able to receive compensation, just as if the man had injured her with his car rather than his hot rod. This would have been enforced by the folkmoot back in the days when killing was just a matter of paying a (rather large) fine, so complaining that one has to pay a legal judgement is like hearing OJ complain about his loss of reputation.
OTOH, the woman lying about conception is another thing. A friend was caught in that trap, but since he was just a graphics artist and she a clinical psychologist he escaped with little payment but guilt when his ex-girlfriend screwed up raising their child.
And its most successful reversal rate is within 3 years, which, quite frankly, why bother with surgery you plan to reverse in 3 years?!
I rather expect that most short-term reversals are due to tragedies, not plans. You get a vasectomy after you and wife have all the children that you want, and then they all die within a year or two (as happened to a great-grandmother). Some people might just quit, but others will want to try again.
Aside from it being a longer route, I thought one of the reasons they decided not to dig there was volcanism.
No, that was the bad PR that helped kill the idea of the Nicaraguan Canal (supposedly by sending mail with the volcano on the stamp), so that the people with the option to build across Northern Columbia could become rich from it. Alas, after all that trickery, the French company still went broke without building one.
Henry VII was an English monarch in that he was monarch of England, just like Knute the Dane King, William I, Henry II. James I, and William of Orange. Not an Englishman, just ruler over them.
BTW, Victoria was a British monarch, since she ruled after the Act Of Union, just like George I. HAH!!
BTW MkII: According to the Wikipedia article, Henry Tudor was fairly English, too, since the Tudors seemed to marry English when not knocking up widowed French princesses.
Damn. you're right! Wrong Richard => Henry transition. Henry Tudor, who had no need of a birthplace name because he was the first English monarch with a proper surname before coronation.
The only "desecration" that Richard III would receive would be at the behest of Henry Bolingbroke (or his toadies). Richard was even popular in Yorkshiire, which ironically most of the "Yorkist" branch were decidedly not. His modern reputation comes about because he lost, and Henry was not as gracious a winner as William The Conqueror (or his half brother, Bishop Odo, who supervised the Bayeaux Tapestry) was to Harold Godwinson.
Having buried a 10 kilo cat in the garden I can only imagine the, ahem, bouquet of a 50 kilo person.
That is why bodies are supposed to be buried 6 feet down. With that much distance, the odor doesn't get to the surface. Alternately, use a lot of lime on the body, which dries up the excess... liquidity... of the corpse.
Honestly, I don't know why more power users don't just get a business class connection, unless they like playing all those stupid games with the ISP.
And you just answered your question. They think that they are smarter than a company that employs dozens of people just as smart and knowledgeable as they are.
Seriously, the TOS ban on running a server on a residential account is close to universal; he had no excuse, even if "Well, I didn't read the contract, first" was ever a valid defense.
They would probably offer to send a tech over at their own expense. Then, when he refused that they would start monitoring his traffic and, detecting that he WAS running servers on a consumer-grade service, terminate him immediately. This way, he can convert to a business contract like he should have had in the first place.
A server means one world-accessible. So, yes, your e-thermometer server that you connect to from work twice a day means that they expect you to buy business-class service. They probably have their modems set to block most common IP ports from accepting connections, just to make this more obvious.
I've never understood this, especially now a days with all the free sites.
Some of us are off-line at times.
I had a friend who I recently did a system rebuild for, and considering all the data, the ONLY thing he was concerned about was the 150GB worth of pr0n... I guess people just get attached
That was probably years worth of carefully chosen nastiness catering to his particular tastes. Finding all that (fill in the worst thing that you can come up with, here - human/pakmeraa snuff film and food show, or something) action again would be a major effort.
Actually, negative security, because its security claims encourage moral hazard. This is like calling a bank "To Big To Fail" and not being able to back it up when its loan officers make ridiculous loans because Uncle will always make them good.
I rather expect that "significantly increased risk" means that it would be statistically significant (0.05 chance that it is due to randomness), not that many lives would be saved out of a population of 100. And, of course, there would be the increased risks from criminalizing large portions of all drivers.
BAC affects lower ages more because they have less experience and muscle memory. A stone sober teenage driver is still a danger to himself (less of a danger to herself, due to male testosterone poisoning) whenever conditions fall below perfect, even without the effects of intoxication.
Well, the Feds didn't have the power to force states to tow the line until Congress passed a law to withhold highway funds to any state that didn't, for that one case.
If your Congresscritter votes for a repeat of this law, it is YOUR OWN FAULT.
You in the 2nd person plural sense, of course. Not blaming any particular reader, not even the parent.
"The agency noted that its Edible Insect Program is also examining the potential of arachnids, such as spiders and scorpions."
Would you eat a bowl of spiders once a day for a month, to get 2 million dollars?
Well, dead ones, maybe. Alive, it would be too much like the Mayor of Sunnydale in season 3 of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, without the benefits. Also, guarantee that the spiders are safe to eat. Supposedly, the source of Ebola virus is a disease of some African spiders or mites.
To be fair, there was also nothing known quite like AIDS until someone decided it'd be a good idea to start eating the local monkeys and it crossed over into humans.
And the Ebola virus is probably native to some species of spider, which is why it is so virulent (no Darwinian pressure to avoid killing the human hosts, as they are just a minor portion of the available hosts).

Wrong-o, AC!!
The need for high-quality Porn is at least as important a driver. This is admitted by all true geeks.

it is the girls job to prevent pregnancy, after all, they are the ones that get knocked up.
Only if you make sure that she cannot identify you and hit you with a paternity suit (unlikely for Slashdot readers, but not impossible).
One paternity suit lost can be expensive, even for NBA players, so it is in the interest of some men not to leave by-blows.

Imagine if we had spent a trillion rebuilding all our roads, rails, schools, hospitals and ports.
Wasn't the stimulus spent on all those shovel-ready projects to rebuild those very things? (ducks)

So your water company (Mother Nature, LLC) would cut off your service without prior notice. :-)
Thank you.
Snapchat offers zero security.
Actually, negative security, because its security claims encourage moral hazard. This is like calling a bank "To Big To Fail" and not being able to back it up when its loan officers make ridiculous loans because Uncle will always make them good.
Technically the data isn't transmitted in the clear. You have to do some work to crack its encryption.
Some work in the NSA's sense, or just XOR the data against "flamingo" as in Kerberos v0.1?
This also assumes that Snapchat Central doesn't have the plaintext somewhere, to follow wiretapping requirements.

And how much did it cost to boost Astronaut Hadfield to the ISS?
