That provision was entered into law in 1965, after the one you quote, and therefore takes precedence.
I predict that within 10 years Xboxes will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the 5 richest kings of Europe will own them.
I just figured it was developed by someone (or multiple someones) who realized it if it took off he/she would be on the ground floor and able to make a lot of money.
It becomes a Ponzi scheme when one or a small group of people benefit from the wealth, and the value of current bitcoins is driven by a constant flow of new buyers.
As a lawyer, I will admit most lawyers are not very mathematically savvy, except when it comes to calculating legal fees, then they turn into Srinivasa Ramanujam.
"Yes, and it's trivially easy to get people to believe the judge might have made a 'bad call' in your case because we all know that people make mistakes."
Doesn't really matter what people believe or not, if the judge has the discretion to select a number that number is almost always going to stand.
This is not "evidence against them." Judges often have wide discretion to determine sentences; if a judge can just arbitrarily pick a sentence between 2 and 10 years, I'd rather go with the algorithm.
"I love love LOVE the official Slashdot forced assumption of treating everyone like criminals being OK"
I have been happily insulting Slashdot for 15+ years but even I have to say it's totally the other way here. Slashdot overwhelmingly takes "innocent until proven guilty" way too far; remember Hans Reiser?
Back in the good ol' days Bell was just a bunch of long-haired hippies playing folk songs in the woods and writing code. Then all of the sudden they turned into a multibillion dollar multinational corporation and started selling UNIX. It was terrible.
I disagree. If you have evidence that you are being discriminated against because of your age, it might be a good idea, especially if it's a larger company with an actual knowledgeable HR department.
"Human resources works for the company, they are not there to make you happy."
Irrelevant. If you let them know that you think you're a target of age discrimination, they may want to stop it for the good of the company. Remember; HR works for the company, NOT your supervisor who's doing the discriminating.
Slashdot Mirror
Right, I should have said for immigrant visas, not "entry."

Federal law states people cannot be denied entry to the United States purely on the basis of their nationality.
Where's the fun in leaking upcoming Apple features if that repellent narcissist Steve Jobs isn't around to get mad about it?
"I can respect that these people are wrestling this power from the hands of media conglomerates and making it a commercial service."
Yes, people subverting the course of democracy for personal profit should be respected.

No, they want me to think it was made by idealists who don't personally benefit.

It's basically "hey guys, let's all of the sudden agree that this currency I made up and hold a lot of is a viable one!"
Bitcoin will be the new pets.com or webvan!
Yes, this.
It's pretty much a Ponzi scheme.
The application. It became a ridiculously bloated, absurdly non-intuitive piece of junk years ago, back when Jobs was running Apple.
"Apple has a history of going off-the-rails when Jobs wasn't involved"
Apple has gone off-the-rails when Jobs WAS involved, too. See, e.g., iTunes.

Looks like he won out in the end, since Google eventually settled. Hope he really took them to the cleaners.

And of course, with people out of work because of the robots, the multinationals won't have anybody able to buy their products.
"However, despite all the automation and machinery over the centuries, the number of jobs available have continued to increase."
Just because that's happened in the past doesn't mean it will continue to happen.
I never used any of them until I got an echo. Always-on voice recognition made it worthwhile for me.
