You can consider it invalid all you want (and personally I think it should be as well), but that won't change the fact that there is precedent that can be used. And without some kind of force to back it up, "it's invalid" won't go very far unfortunately.
In the US you cannot sell the meat radioactive or not. Our hunters are not compensated for game they cannot consume that I'm aware of.
IIRC, an issue of the print version of National Geographic stated that some states do compensate farmers and/or hunters who cannot gather enough game due to wolf populations. I don't have the article on me so I cannot be sure exactly what it said.
Even the commerce clause (perhaps the broadest of them all) could not possibly be twisted so far as to (for example) force citizens to purchase a product
Gov'ment: "You are disallowed from growing your own grain."
Farmer: "But however will I feed my family and livestock?"
You have now been forced into buying a product. Not a specific product mind you, but none the less you are being forced to make a purchase that you didn't really need to.
And if you do enough "bad things" while operating a motorvehicle, you can get your license taken from you. What's your point? That people should be able to do whatever they want, on whatever servers they want, and never be held accountable for their actions?
The timing of the yellow light has nothing to do with whether or not you ran the red.
So are you saying the light could go straight from green to red, and anyone who runs the light broke the law? They didn't have any time to not run the light.
Why should the date on the camera make any difference? It's proof of what you did.
This happened to someone I know. Guy got pulled over by a cop for speeding on road X, gets a ticket, goes to court, and when the judge announces the charges of speeding on road Y, he replies "I wasn't anywhere near there" and gets off scott free. Turns out the officer was so used to patrolling road Y, he accidentally wrote the wrong road on the ticket (and admitted it in court) so the guy was innocent of the crime accused, and they couldn't charge him for speeding on road Y. I imagine the same could be true of red light cameras (I wasn't even in town on the date this supposedly happened, and here's proof!).
Wiretapping has nothing to do with taking pictures of public behavior.
And sometimes you need to punch them back, make them realize you will not allow yourself to be walked all over.

Right, because it's totally a good thing to allow anyone and everyone to use whatever frequencies they want, with the customers being SOL if they're near a tower that overpowers the tower of the company they're actually serviced from.
You make an interesting point, but it still kinda shocks me. Spending money now in order to make back some of it at a later time (rebates) isn't exactly the same thing as being billed for more than you expected (fraudulent charges).
Rebates never come in time to cover the cost of the product on your next statement unless you've got some ridiculously long no-interest grace period (or you purchase it at the very beginning of the billing period, then you might get it before the grace period ends), so in theory you should have calculated that into your budget for the month. But a fraudulent charge is money you didn't expect to have to spend at all.
Though I guess if all you're doing is putting down the minimum monthly payment, you aren't going to care either way.

I love how you nearly completely ignored GP's post (the majority of which was about how an older version can be considered broke, with very little to do about "new features") and just copy/pasta'd the post that GP was responding to.
They just ran their wires through the already existing metal pipes.
Honest question, who owns that pipe? If it's Verizon, do you really think they'll let others use it, or tell them to fuck off, increasing installation cost for anyone else who wants to service the neighborhood?
I'm surprised at you, C64. Given how you're always trotting it out, how could you of all people forget about the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution?

If you can't find what you want online maybe you could contact the artists/label directly?
And how would you do that if you are looking for new artists/labels you've not heard of before?

And if Farmer Jo grows wheat for the sole purpose of feeding those chickens, she still isn't engaging in "commerce among the States".
Unfortunately, there is precedent for saying otherwise.
Also if that was the password you should have no expectation of security or privacy.
Is it really so unreasonable to expect "Allow Remote Administration: Off" to be the default (and thus, have no need to change the password)?
(Completely ignoring the "you shouldn't assume what the default is" argument)
perhaps you're too stupid to save the settings after "disabling" administration from WAN
Are you saying that it is perfectly acceptable for "remote administration: on" to be the default?
I wish people would learn to read.
You should really try following your own advice. Straight from GP's mouth...
Agreed. [...] We know the better solution. Now tell us the realistic one. When you can't stop the oil subsidies, [...]
When the question contains the qualifier of "you can't do X", an answer of "do X" is meaningless.

Sure they could. They'd probably have to pay who does own the rights to the game, but to you and me, it'd be free.

While I agree with you here, it's not like there isn't precedent for thinking so.
Are broken brakes a defense against moving violations? I don't think they should be.
I think it would depend on how they broke as to whether or not you should be considered at fault.
If that isn't your car, why does it have your license plate?
Spectre already addressed this one, so I won't bother repeating them.
Agreed. Heck, you could even put in some sort of a score penalty for dying if you wanted to give people some kind of epeen measuring device.

It IS his fault that he didn't stand up to those craven losers who put their political power plays above American security interests.
I think you missed that part of GP's post.
I do not own an iPad, nor do I presently want one. But from my limited research, it does seem to be the first viable color ebook reader.
And to answer your question about why someone would want a color ebook reader, comic books.

Wow.
It's called "showing someone the ridiculousness of something being so stigmatizing, you're guilty until proven innocent", not "flamebait".
You're acting awfully defensive about this... you must be into child porn!
Good thing you posted anonymously, because now no one would ever believe your lies about not being into child porn.
1) I think GP was being silly.
2) It won't surprise me if they try and spin it that way.
They just ran their wires through the already existing metal pipes.
