That makes absolutely no sense. Apple designs the products, hires someone to make the product, gets the product back and sells it to the public. They are at both ends of that chain.
Law is probably the second least secure field jobwise in the U.S. after architecture, and a lot of legal jobs have been offshored in the past few years.
I think that's one of the major fallacies used by AGW deniers, the idea that reducing emissions needs some completely world-reshaping economic measures. While it would take a lot of effort, the end result would be a world economic system not fundamentally different than what we have now.
Actually everyone just ignore that, while what I said is true generally, in this specific case they're ruling on the U.S. 4th amendment, not Florida's equivalent (and Florida is something of a special case in that the Florida constitution explicitly says the USCT determines 4th amendment protections).
Actually some of the more prominent creationists are petroleum engineers, with presumably wide knowledge of geology. Engineers do compartmentalize, though, I agree, and they tend to frequently think they are scientists without really understanding the scientific method.
Floridian: "Wow, Florida, this makes me feel...what's the opposite of ashamed?"
Florida: "Proud?"
Floridian: "Not that far from ashamed."
Florida: "Less ashamed?"
Floridian:"Yeah!"
Florida: "Awww, thanks."
Just FYI everyone, the Florida Supreme Court is the final arbiter of the Florida state constitution, and it's well-settled precedent that state constitutions can provide greater protection than the Federal constitution. The only way this case could have legitimately gotten to the U.S. Supreme Court is if the Florida Supreme Court found that a warrant WASN'T necessary. The defendant then could have asked the USCT to find that under the 4th and 14th amendment one was required.
Actually, many leading creationists are engineers; they probably know more about GPSes and DVD players than you do. There's a lot of physics, chemistry, and math you can work with that doesn't involve understanding evolution.
According to the story the prosecutors were the ones who informed the defense counsel that they had found the emails, and said they stopped reading once they realized what they were.
Oh give me a break, for the past few decades the dominant thing the government says about taxes is they have to be cut, no matter what the consequences.
"Bitcoin does have an intrinsic value: the computing time it takes to mine a bitcoin. This is a real, tangible, and strictly-defined value that can be quantified. This value is FIXED. That is to say, it is fixed today. It can vary with time, as Bitcoins are designed to gradually become more valuable per hour of computing time, but that subject can wait for another day."
That doesn't make sense; it only has a value if you can redeem the bitcoin for processing time. The cost to produce the currency is irrelevant. Think of it this way; if you were to spend the time and fuel to get a small chunk of granite from the Gobi Desert, then hire someone for $200 to spend 8 hours polishing it with a rag, all that time, money, and fuel isn't added to the value of the rock; it's still mostly worthless in the U.S.
"I mean, yes, this is Slashdot, so the kneejerk reactions are appropriate"
The sad thing is I'm convinced that a lot of the people shrieking about how evil MIT is for doing this are the same ones who respond to posts about DDOSes by shrieking how it's all the administrators fault for not properly locking down their networks.

Huh? If you want legal access to movies and music there are a plethora of distribution sites; Amazon, Netflix, itunes, etc.

Wow, amazing. So don't keep us in suspense, how did all those coastal cities fare during the Jurassic-Triassic?

State, not country, and creationism has a hold in a lot of other countries, though it's more fun to taunt Americans I guess.
how the death of four Americans
Three Americans. One Chinese. And the media is treating her just like the Americans.
kthx, bai.
Where are you posting from, 2003?
Iraq never wanted you in the first place, yet you went anyways.
No, I've never been to Iraq.

Actually it's both.

People have been saying that for the past 40 years.
Yes, the Chinese elite's children will be able to gain access to our launch codes, because those are distributed at freshman orientation.

If it goes to trial then the prosecutor doesn't decide the sentence.

No, don't "wait," what you said makes sense if you ignore the misplaced sarcasm.
