Of course, it was only partly about drugs, if at all. It was more about controlling people. For example, are you aware that any transaction you make with your bank for over $1,000 is automatically reported to the government? And it has been that way for many yearss
Not only ignorant of the law but accounting too. Before you say you left off a zero, it is not any transaction.
And? SCOTUS has reversed itself throughout history. For somebody that claims to know quite a bit about law, you are not impressing me.
As does the historical record.
It tends to split down the middle. I can accept your bias for a certain position. Please admit that bias up front.
But their position is unreasonable, untenable,
Plenty of law scholars will disagree with you. Since you have no law background, it is rather pointless for you to continue with this argument.
contrary to established law.
Not true. Why do you think they decided the Heller case?
I have nothing further to say on that subject.
Because you are ignorant? I have some legal training under my belt. I have a JD as well as an MA in International Affairs. I am open to discussing public policy. All I ask is you come to the discussion with some background.
The fact that they also have positions on statutory "rights" is completely irrelevant.
Stop putting rights in quotes. I brought up statutory because your coment in http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1274997&cid=28399863 mentioned only constitutional rights. I wanted to make sure you understood that the ACLU will take and defend positions of statutory rights too.
They do indeed defend the Second Amendment. Like all people and organizations, they take positions on issues. Some folks believe state executions are just, the ACLU disagrees. It is the same with gun rights. The ACLU's postion has been that they defend the Second Amendment as a collective right, not individual. You can disagree with that position, as there are plenty of folks that disagree with the ACLU's position on defending hate speech. That does not make it hypocrsy.
Also, the ACLU takes positions on both Constitutional and statutory rights.
Hence, why it requires tuning and is not past tense. Please go reread what I said and what you wrote. The ZFS code in 7.2R does not mitigate tuning in general, only in limited use siutations and with 4GB or more of memory.
7.2R was released last month. Anybody that puts into production, software that has been released less than thirty days, should be flipping burgers. I do not work in Internet time and if any of my employees tried a stunt like that, it would be instant termination.
We recently, as in yesterday, started rolling out 7.1R. That codebase spent three months in QA, with another three months in staging, before it was deemed ready for production. It took me three months to plan and test a Perforce upgrade.
We run ZFS on every FreeBSD server and a few desktops. Mostly 64bit. It requires tuning. I have a laptop with 1GB running FreeBSD and ZFS has been rock solid. The instant volume and snapshots creation has me hooked. I could never go back. I wish ZFS existed for Windows.
ZFS development is not over; it is still being actively maintained.
Odd you bring up the US News list since it supports my argument. Four of the top ten are public schools that will cost an EU resident 90% less in tuition.
1 Harvard University - United States 2 Yale University - United States 3 University of Cambridge - United Kingdom 4 University of Oxford - United Kingdom 5 California Institute of Technology - United States 6 Imperial College London - United Kingdom 7 University College London - United Kingdom 8 University of Chicago - United States 9 Massachusetts Institute of Technology - United States 10 Columbia University - United States
US leads far and away in number and quality.
Number is meaningless, and you should know that. With a population of 300 million, one should expect more schools. The above list proves you wrong in the quality department.
Where would the increase in public funding for higher education come from?
The same place it comes from in the rest of the world, taxes. Undergrad tuition for a university in France runs about $1000. Not per year, for the whole program.
The United States does indeed have some of the best schools, if you are rich.
Also, why doesn't the U.S. fully fund tertiary education? Why is it not seen as a right?
Frankly, I think the U.S. tertiary system is a piss poor excuse for higher learning. I would rather stay in the EU and not worry about how I am going to send my children to college. We have many fine institutions here in the EU, including the top tier Oxford and Cambridge, which are funded around 90% for all EU residents. Saying the U.S. has the best universities is like saying the U.S. has the best healthcare. True, if you are rich.
You have no idea what Notes was if you think it only applies to email.
Notes was a document, workflow and collaboration system, what is now known as Domino while the client has continued to called Notes. This is long before SMTP and IMAP where in widespread use, where proprietary mail systems ruled the land. The main criticism and bad reputation of Notes/Domino has always been email not its other functionality for which Ozzie was the father.
In essence, Wave is Notes, 20 years later. Notes was ahead of its time and a pleasure to use. In fact, Exchange was Microsoft attempt at a Notes killer. I was working at cc:mail in the early 90s and we were all wondering if Microsoft could pull it off. Unfortunately, it never approached the main selling points: document, workflow, and collaboration.
When collaspes happen, if the architect or engineer (or firm) is responsible, there is a venue for a professional misconduct hearing, leading to the loss of license.
Professional Engineer (PE) needs a license. The rules vary from state to state, with all requiring you to pass the NCEES Principles and Practice Exam for your chosen field.
The US has never claimed to be "dictator of the world", has never acted as such, and asside from a few very small engagements (which usually went poorly)
If you honestly believe that, you do not know much about U.S. history.
Which is one of the two reasons put forward by the judge for no finding him guilty of perjury
You seem to be under the assumption that the perjury charge was brought to trial. That is not correct. He made a plea arrangement with federal prosecutors that dropped the perjury charge in return for a fine and the suspension of his state law license.
FYI - A presiding judge cannot find somebody guilty of perjury on a separate case before the court. It is up to the prosecutor to pursue a new charge. It would be a separate case with a trial by a jury unless waived by the defendant.

I am well aware that the term "civil liberty" has been in use for a long time.
Then why say it does not exist?
There is a very good chance that I know an awful lot more about politics and law than you think.
Most likely not. See my point above.
It is called limited resources.
There is no such thing as a "civil liberty".
You fail both politics and law.
Clearly, you have never worked for an organization that stresses quality.
no tuning at all is needed for routine use.
That statement is meaningless, there is no such thing as routine use. My needs may be routine to my organization but not others.
Well, you certainly reinforced the statement in my signature.

Required, past tense, for the most part.
If it is for the most part, it is not past tense. Also, not everybody runs CURRENT or STABLE.
Windows and Solaris fall into the first category, UNIX and Linux into the second.
Are you sure you do not want to correct that statement?

Lotus Notes a pleasure to use?Were we using the same program. Years back, the magazine I worked for was using Outlook for our e-mail.
You need better reading comprehension skills.
This is my statement. In essence, Wave is Notes, 20 years later. Notes was ahead of its time and a pleasure to use.
2009 minus 20 years equals 1989. Exchange was released in 1996. Outlook did not see light until 1997.
Our higher education system rocks the world over
Based on what data do make that conclusion?
Also, why doesn't the U.S. fully fund tertiary education? Why is it not seen as a right?

Let me know when the NCEES starts setting guidelines and has PE exams for software engineering, and states sart issuing licenses.
I realize that was not your main point.
When collaspes happen, if the architect or engineer (or firm) is responsible, there is a venue for a professional misconduct hearing, leading to the loss of license.
Except architecture is a highly regulated and licensed profession, whereas any schmuck can write code.
Professional Engineer (PE) needs a license. The rules vary from state to state, with all requiring you to pass the NCEES Principles and Practice Exam for your chosen field.

Powell's sells new and used books at their store and online. They buy used at the store, the warehouse, or online.
Crown, when they were still in business, sold used hardcover books from retired library stock.
You can always use Filemaker as a client to an external data source via ODBC.
Actually, Iraq had much to do with 9/11.
I am not going to continue this discussion because that statement tells me you are a nutter.
You will most likely be flagged and refused entry the next time.
