When I was in college in the mid-90's, a lot of my upper level CS classes were filled with "old people". In fact, traditional students were the minority in the CS program.
How do you know he is a thief? Just because the company says he is? Did he have an opportunity to defend himself against that allegation? Is the allegation even true?
Turbo diesels put out too much smog, and are banned for environmental reasons. Gasoline is not the same thing as diesel fuel. UK gallons are bigger then US gallons.
It has functional, primitive air breathing lungs. Show me a fossil where the lungs have started to develop, but are not functional. There should be many generations where proto limb and organ development would be a significant disadvantage for the organism until by random compounded chance it developed a function.
A company I worked at several years ago migrated to SAP. It took several hundred million dollars, 6 years, AND the companies main branch was already using SAP. All to replace an MVS system that cost under $5M a year to run, did more, and was much faster.
SAP is NOT a business application. It's a programming environment where you get to build and customize your own. Then those German Wunderkids break your customizations every time there is an SAP change.
A "good" business software package allows you to customize "it" to match your business processes. Not the other way around as with SAP.
If all German engineering was this good, the Polish cavalry would have chased off the Nazi Blitkrieg.
Well, I for one am amazed that they can be so sure solar variation counts for at most 30% of climate change when they seem so unsure of everything else.
My wife and I don't share much in common in movies. She likes academy award winners, I like "ridiculous stupid movies that I'm to old to be watching". Since we share a netflix account, our incompatable likes and dislikes mess up the predictions.

How We Used To Vote

Democrats in the US still rely on fradulent votes. Even though Obama might not need it this election, the need for fraud is ingrained deeply into liberal democrats.
Does requiring ID to buy alcohol or tobacco discriminate against minorities and the poor? Yet somehow requiring ID to vote is an unfair burden.
I'm 38 and I still have to sometimes show my ID to buy tobacco. Being against showing an ID to vote is being pro-election fraud, and that's the stance of the national Democratic party.
I'll be brave and take the karma hit, as it's obvious who the realy minorities are around slashdot.
I used to play LPmuds back in '90-91 and I had a few evil wizard toys.
Evil toy#1: Would look for two mudders in the same room, it would then call the player_attack function on the each character. A fight would ensue, and it looked to each player like the other guy started it. It worked even when player killing was disabled as self defence bypasses the is_playercharcter check. The fights, accusations, confusuion and general chaos was AWESOME.
Evil toy #2 Find random player online, shout random obscenity aimed at randon online wizard. It did it in such a way that everyone BUT the victim saw the shout. More fun times.
Evil toy #3 Would randomly add experience and set quests for players. Senior wizards were always spying on low level wizards suspected of cheating to help players wiz out. This gave them something to do. After an hour spying on one character trying to figure out what wizard was helping him, they noticed it was happening to everyone.
Evil toy #4 Randomly turn off wimpy setting for characters. With wimpy turned on, your character automaticaly runs away at 1/3 hp, something people rely on. That 1/3 exp loss for player death really hurts I bet.
The real fun with muds doesn't even start until you hack the player.c file to log passwords. Lots of people used to play the same character with the same password on different muds. You'd think a sysadmin would have the root password the same as his mud character, wouldn't you? Well, who ever ran lone star mud in '91 at the U of Texas, that was me.
They could grant you immunity to prosecution and then force you to testify. You could then be jailed if you refused. I could even imagine a multi-national jurisdiction case where you could be forced to testify in one jurisdiction with immunity that is not respected in another jurisdiction.
You could also be forced to testify against someone else, such as a spouse.
"A warranted police search of your meth lab does not require any consent on your side - that's what the warrant is for. they will just break down the door and go on with the search."
That's true, but....
If my door was two inches thick steel and required an hour or so with a cutting torch to open...
Then you'd be looking at obstruction of justice, disobeying a lawful order, and destruction of evidence because they ain't finding a damn thing after two hours.
Protection from self incrimination was to prevent confesions under duress or torture.
I don't see the difference between refusing to turn over an encryption key and refusing to let the police in your house when they have a valid search warrant.
Oh noes! You police can't come into my meth lab. Me letting you in would be self incrimination!
CNN covered the Ayers issue too. They even ended it by interviewing someone who knew both Obama and Ayers who was happy to claim they hardly knew each other.
Fox news ended their Ayers story by interviewing someone who reseacrhed the meeting notes proving Obama was far more involved with Ayers then he admits.

CS used to be an old man's degree anyways.
When I was in college in the mid-90's, a lot of my upper level CS classes were filled with "old people". In fact, traditional students were the minority in the CS program.
It takes about ten minutes for my PC to boot and for me to start all my programs.
10 minutes * 240 work days = 40 hours a year.
At 5 minutes, that's 20 hours a year. That a lot of wasted productivity to save $30.

We shouldn't even be trading with China. By doing so we are propping up a repressive regime.
First it was Nixon's ill conceived openess policy with China, then GW allowing them into the WTO.
We would have been better off with India as a manufacturing base.

You copied them, they still belong to the original copyright holder. I guess your "use" license expires at the end of the semester.
Looks like SAP tricked another sucker.

Not everyone believes VGchartz's numbers. They are the only site claiming LBP sold 1.5M

Didn't Apple loose the same case in the 80's against Apple][e clones?

Coincidently, that is not only their title but their job. Judges "judge" things.

So, by YOUR theory, subpoenas would be completely unenforcable.
A subpoena ad testificandum orders a person to testify before the ordering authority or face punishment.
Sorry Judge, I forgot.
A subpoena duces tecum orders a person to bring physical evidence before the ordering authority or face punishment.
Sorry, Judge, I lost it.
Unless you're just stupid and say "No" instead of "I forgot"
does that mean most black people are messy?
I wish the US Supreme Court was that smart.

I don't want any H-1B Visa issued period.
Train American workers instead.
Teachers used to be banned from forming unions. I think that changed in the mid 50's, which is about when the education system started to fail.

What, Date Line making Florida a bit too dangerous for you? Have to go down to mexico for your kicks? I guess Thailand would be a bit too suspicious.
