For the record, as long as you obey rules on minimal length, maximal caliber and marking it you can make your own firearms all day long (from a Federal point of view at least). You cannot legally SELL or TRADE them, but making is legal. You can even buy 80% kits that are mostly machined for you and come with guides on where to drill the remaining holes, and you're still, under Federal law, legally making your own gun. And you don't have to register it with the federal government either.
The only question in this case was the invisible weapons rule which makes it illegal to manufacture a weapon for the purpose of avoiding metal detectors which an all-printed gun might trigger.
Even IF a prosecutor would be taking the case, and IF the persons in questions are brought to court in the US and IF the court convicts them of a criminal offense you still have to file a civil suit to get the video blocked. Much easier with evidence from the criminal trial, but you'd still need to go through the motions.
And do you know the "fair use" rules in Turkey? Totally dubbing over some video might be enough to create new copyright there, and it's only perjury if you knowingly state an untruth, should have known isn't enough.
First, it can't be punishment, as there has been no conviction yet. It could be a condition of parole, or part of a gag order, to not POST on facebook, or any other media for that matter. But irrevocably deleting an account prior to conviction seems excessive. But as judges enjoy absolute immunity for their actions of the bench, abuse of discretion is rampant in the US. As the defendant has to agree to the conditions, everything goes.
Or that someone is trying to hide a political motivation by pretending to be a criminal. To further spin the conspiracy, the interested party will pay itself the $1M (to show on the transaction logs of the bitcoin system) and pretend the Romney campaign did it because they have something to hide.
And then release the returns (if they actually have them) at an opportune moment claiming the Romney campaign violated some agreement or another.
Of course, you could theorize the other way around, the Romney campaign knows someone will somewhere get their hand on the returns and publish them. With this story, any published return gets tainted as coming from a blackmailer/thief and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Don't you love election season.
You are aware that the US recognizes homeopathy as valid, and even exempts homeopathic remedies from FDA regulations requiring efficacy? Nothing to do with centralized power, one idiot senator in the 1930s was enough to get this written permanently into law.
The product possibilities are endless, but I think bullet proof west with integrated brew station will be the greatest hit. Survive the tough battle, add water and yeast - instant celebratory beverage.
They were purchasing stolen goods to return them to the rightful owner - after the thorough inspection of course. Kinda like a government does when someone flies a foreign airplane into their territory.
Well, in case of going out of business, or shutting down an MMO, the "as long as we exist" clause would kick in. This is a case of the CEO admitting "we would have to upgrade the hardware providing the service, and we don't want to do that". Some lawyers will make a lot of money of it, and the victims will get a $10 off coupon.
Kennedy Space Center is HUGE. The starting pads are a long way from the service areas (in case of a really huge boom), so 8 min sounds about right to make it out there. The roads don't allow much more than about 60 mph.
Don't forget, now that they know where the Martians are NOT they can send probes and make sure they discover nothing. Same reason the Venusian only land in Antarctica and the Sahara.
You can legally print your select fire receiver, you better don't have any upper in the house for it. Even if you never assembled it, just owning the parts for a NFA item is sufficient to be prosecuted for constructive possession. And the penalties are on the steep side.
Now for the interesting part - can they get you for having the cad file for a select fire lower while you own a legal semi-auto AR15?
US 50 cal ammo box, painted shut with 2 part silicone RTV. Don't use the one part stuff, it releases acetic acid on cure, just the opposite of what you want.
What are you considering regularly? I pull my 3 t camper about six times a year. I can purchase a dedicated towing vehicle and pay at minimum $ 1,000 a year for insurance, taxes, maintenance etc., for those six trips, and drive a more fuel efficient car for the rest of the year for the about 6,000 miles I drive. 6,000 miles in the SUV use 400 gal of fuel, $1400 at the moment. Swapping to a 30 mpg car saves me a total of $700. Even a Prius would barely break even with my driving.
Your calculations will differ for someone with a long commute who puts 20,000 miles a year on their car, but for those of us that try to minimize the number of cars they own the versatility of the SUV beat owning a number of dedicated specialized vehicles.
While there are many vanity reasons to buy an SUV, there is a large utility part on most of them - towing capacity like a truck. If you have to combine the family vehicle with towing (camping trailer, boat, ATVs etc), the SUV is your only option aside from even less economic crew-sized trucks. So when you size your electric drive units, make sure they can meet the towing requirements to be competitive outside the vanity market.
E-waste is being recovered on a large scale. Anything looking like a circuit board is simply added to the copper refining process. All the precious metals are getting amalgamated into the raw copper, and recovered during the copper refining process. The problem is not the reclamation of the material once it has been collected, but the collection and dismantling processes. The only way to get a decent return rate is by either making it mandatory to drop off stuff at a recycling center or by offering incentives in the form of returnable deposits. Neither way is foolproof, the former leads to illegal dumping, the later to items being stolen just for the deposit. Dismantling is mostly done by running stuff through a shredder, followed by manual sorting. This is inefficient, leaving lots of value on the sorting band and adding a lot of scrap to the recyclables. True dismantling would be ideal but is unaffordable unless having third-world labor. Export to China etc would be desirable if not for the question of toxic side products; while the US and Europe can recycle all toxic materials as well, it is cheaper to just dump them if you are operating in a low-regulation country. An alternative is to dismantle thermally by pyrolysing the plastic material to collect just metals and glass filler, but the economics on that are strongly depending on fuel prices and metal value, and changes in precious metal content can quickly take it from a highly profitable process to a money-loosing venture.
You haven't been to any STEM graduate school lately much, have you? There are about 25% max of "long-term citizen" and a whole lot of Asians (mainly Chinese and Indian, not surprising as they make up 40% of the world's population). The real change lately is that there now are more citizens than you saw in the 80' and 90' due to the fact that the fist generation immigrant PhDs now have their children in grad school. And the reason for that is that your typical STEM American gets the 100k offer as a BS because they are needed, and skips the 5 years of grad student existence.
As for the subject of the article, the big business H1B users would love to get rid of it, they can get all your H1B needs filled with just one recruiting bureau in Mumbai. And the "they cost more to hire" argument is flat-out wrong, it's cheaper to pay an attorney to process and H1B than an head hunter to recruit a citizen.
Not a conspiracy, but the 16 gb version cost $50 more than the 8 gb, with extra cost of less than $10 if that. So the lack of external memory is clearly an intentional money making "feature", and Asus seems unlikely to shoot themselves in the foot by making it easy to accept any.
I was going to preorder it until I realized the lack of a slot on the play.google spec list - sorry, for me that IS the deal breaker. And I don't trust that they enable flash drives etc since they are subscribing to apple's "lets gouge them for extra memory" pricing strategy, plus the whole idea of having to jailbreak an "open source" device is just plain stupid.
You're violating FEDERAL law. Up until now, that was no business of your local or state beat cop. Which is why they tried to make it a state crime, which would have eliminated the federal angle altogether, but that was shut down hard. I just don't see how the "papers please" rule can be enforced without the prohibited racial profiling. Typically, cops just ask everybody to avoid that charge, but the law requires "reasonable suspicion". So how do you become "reasonably suspicious" towards enough whites with baseball cap driving a pickup to justify asking all the hispanics with the same looks?

And don't forget "The Art of Coarse Sailing" by Michael Green, for when you're on dry land due to the metric mix-up with your charts.
Actually, Columbus had to make due with a simple quadrant, the sextant not having been invented yet.

Asange tried that, didn't help him. The man hates to be shown off.

Yes, it forces them to stand next to you with a hidden camera until you punch in your pin...
