I am not sure what you are talking about, but here it is straight from webster's

2 : noncoital and especially anal or oral copulation with a member of the opposite sex

And check out these articles on state laws banning oral sex aka sodomy. http://slate.msn.com/id/2080746/ , http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~kurisuto/sodomy.html , http://www.lambdalegal.org/cgi-bin/iowa/documents/ record?record=267
Once again, for the obviously retarded poster above, Clinton was not impeached for getting a blowjob, he was impeached for lying under oath..
Um, I don't think he was talking about Clinton. Many states still have anti-sodomy laws. Blow jobs are a form of sodomy and are technically illegal in some states.
I don't think a cell phone can be used as an analog modem. When you use a cell phone as a modem, the real modem work is done back at the tower. Basically the tower (or somewhere) has a bank of modems that does the work for the phone. You may be out of luck.
Can someone explain the difference between the wine from winehq and the codeweavers product? Is codeweavers a fork of wine? Or is it more of branded version of wine like netscape/mozilla?
For all your bashing of Michael, maybe if you had done your own google search you would have found out that VOLUNTARY school prayer IS LEGAL.
Here is a short summary from the ACLU
IS IT EVER OK TO PRAY IN SCHOOL?
Sure. Individual students have the right to pray whenever they want to, as long as they don't disrupt classroom instruction or other educational activities -- or try to force others to pray along with them. If a school official has told you that you can't pray at all during the school day, your right to exercise your religion is being violated. Contact your local ACLU for help.
The Supreme court in Good News Club v. Milford Central School upheld an after hours bible study that was held at a public school (they did pray during bible study).
The Supreme Court stated in Santa Fe Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Doe, 120 S.Ct. 2266 (2000).
confirmed, "nothing in the Constitution as interpreted by this Court prohibits any public school student from voluntarily praying at any time before, during, or after the schoolday."
Demonstrating your opinion is not harassment. Thousands calling the ATA is no different than a bunch of homeowners picketing a company that wants to put say a nuclear dump next to your block.
The do not call list MUST be legislated if it will ever be enforced. I once worked at a company where the execs thought about mailing advertisements to people on the DMA' "do not mail" list. The idea was that people on that list were not getting any other mail so they would be more reseptive to just this one piece of mail.
The fact that you know one person that is successful will telemarketing is beside the point.
I have a different take. When I read it my first thought was that companys don't want to get sued by SCO. SCO is going after people over dubios IP claims. If you hire an ex SCO employee what is to say SCO won't come after you saying "that ex SCO employee put SCOs super secret code into your product, now pay us these license fees."
I wouldn't hire any ex SCO employee. Not becuase I think they are bad people, but for fear that SCO would make IP claims against my product.
A few years back ASCAP threated to sue the girl scouts for singing campfire songs without a license.
"They buy paper, twine and glue for their crafts - they can pay for the music, too," says John Lo Frumento, ASCAP's chief operating officer. If offenders keep singing without paying, he says, we will sue them if necessary." I don't think the RIAA will care that they are going after children.
I support it in areas that can support it. But I am a realist and there are places in this country that can't handle them.
That is the attidue to take. Windpower should just be in the mix with everything else. Too many people harp on the fact that wind (or solar, or biomas etc.) can't produce 100% of our electricity needs. You never hear anyone say "don't do coal/nuclear/natural gas research, because it can't supply 100% of the worlds electricy."
You are talking about enormous tracts of land that could be used for many, many things.
The land that windmills are on is usefull for farming. Many farmers make more by leasing their land for windmills, than the make on crops. The bonus is that the windmills can go on the land, plus cows can still graze on the land around the windmill. The land footprint of a windmill is relativly small. http://www.cnn.com/2000/NATURE/06/14/wind.power/
"It amazes me that a such a company would have such lax security as to allow an insider to browse supposedly private data at will."
I don't see how this is amazing. I mean someone have has to have access to this data or the data would be of no use. Someone has to run the jobs to collect the data to put on tape to sell to outside firms. DBA's have to have access to the table to fix indexes, table corruptions etc.. . Now if they didn't have a background check, now that would be amazing.
Oh you hurt me. It really got me right here. I mean I missed the part in the article that a lawyer's assisnt sent the form letter. I also missed the part about it being a form letter.
I bow down to you, you are so smart. I mean you must be in at least 11th grade.
Sending a lawyer to fight a court case you know you are going to lose isn't cheap.
Um, sending a lawyer to fight a court case you know you are going to lose STILL isn't cheap. It is also not cheap having a lawyer do negotiations over the phone like the article said. I guess I don't see your point.
he offer was for $199, but I had to agree to a gag order and could not talk about the case. Do you think that Joe tech support came up with that idea? No, there company lawyer making $100/hour came up with that.
This means someone needs to give the papers to the registered agent of the company being sued. The registered agent of a company is usaully a law firm. I doubt they work for free.
So maybe in your world there were no lawyer fee, but in the real world there were.
If you have enough people to do the work that he did, then companies will make it easier to get a refund. Sending a lawyer to fight a court case you know you are going to lose isn't cheap. Companies would find it cheaper to just give the refund rather than fight.
That would in turn make it easier for people to choose Linux/BSD/etc because they would basically get a $199 discount on their PC purchase.
Granted this would only work if enough people actually went to court first.
but it's not the governments right or responsibility to kill off an entire industry
They do it all the time. Just look at prositution, the drug trade, sunday liquor sales, illegal gambling, Napster etc..... . Name one industry that does not have some sort of government regulation.
You are right. But can anyone answer this. Whenever I go to get a suit, the salesman always picks a shirt that seems to be way to tight in the neck. I have to basically tell him I don't care what size he thinks I need and get a larger neck size. Is having a tight fit around the neck considered in fashion?
Remember this article about Orrin Hatch using software that he didn't pay for? Well he was using javascript that he didn't pay for. Anyone could go to his site and get the script.
So Orrin Hatch was posting copyrighted material without the authors permission on a website that was visible to the public. Maybe Orrin needs to stock up on KY before he goes to prison.
After 1976, anything you write is copyrighted by default. What a copyright does is help establish when a work was created.
If you sue someone for a copyright violation, the copyright date is proof of the time/date of creation. If you have not filed for copyright, then you have to come up with your own evidence of time/date of creation.
Let's say that person A copyrights work X in 2003. You find out that person A stole (NOT independtly created) your work X (that you had written in 1999, but didn't copyright). You can still win a copyright infringment case. You just have to be able to prove that you created the work in 1999. Now if you had filed a copyright it would be easy. Without a copyright you have to find other evidence to convince a judge that you originally created the work in 1999.
The whole reason to have MMC and CF is so you can use BOTH at the same time. On my Zaurus I use the MMC for extra storage and at the same time use my CF slot for my wireless card. Having 2 slots is great.
The cools thing is having TWO slots. On my zaurus I have an 128mb card in teh MC slot. I use that as my "hard drive". In the CF slot I use my wireless card. Most Palms and Pocket PCs only have one slot.

Ok, I'll bite. Is that a REAL radio telescope or just a joke on non astronomy types like me?
I guess you could tell that to the judge.
