Don't do it!!! Rent from Ryder or Sears/Budget. THEY actually take care of their trucks, and do not fob off the worst POS on their inventory on a customer simply because "we figured a man would be able to handle it". U-Haul's vehicles tend to be barely running and dirty. You KNOW you're in for it when it takes 5 minutes for the proprietor to get the truck to move 100 yards.
Slightly OT, since I didn't upgrade, but rolled a new firewall into service. gShield is very nice for configuring your ruleset. It uses a configuration file that is very easy to read, and very well commented.
Actually, using secure mail would get tiresome, don't you think? What is needed is a mail user agent that will simply take the incoming mail, run it as root, and modify/add whatever files neccesary without admin or user intervention. Now THAT would be a time-saver, huh?
We have swapped the 'God, Guns, Guts' for 'Nintendo, MTV, Mcdonalds' to keep us free.
Wonderfully put. You left out mini-vans, though. Obviously, the Constitution was made for very different times, not our time. If the Founding Fathers had had mini-vans, and maybe microwaves, they would have been pretty damn happy with a foot on their necks.
1. The fifth amendment will protect you if you committed a crime and told a lawyer about it while somebody was recording, as you cannot be "forced" to incriminate yourself.
Just as much as the Second Amendment prevents the Government from infringing on our right to keep and bear arms. And as much as the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable search and seizure.
2. Such "testimony" will greatly aid the search for accomplices when lawyers cannot divulge such information.
As that would be tantamount to the alleged criminal testifying against himself, it seems that witnesses thus obtained may be barred from the stand, or their testimony stricken. Even a mistrial might be possible. It would depend on the interpretation of the word "compelled". Is warrantless eavesdropping of a person "presumed innocent" by peace officers testimony volunteered to the court by the accused?
3. Priveleges are not rights. The ACLU is currently inventing the constitutional right of Lawyer-Client privelege when non-such right or privelege is given by the Constitution of the US.
Nicely put. The ACLU definitely seems to be a little off-key here. Private counsel with an attorney is not specifically guaranteed in the Sixth Amendment. It is, however, indirectly protected by the Fourth, since up until the moment of conviction through due process, the accused is considered innocent, and thus should have a warrant sworn against him to allow for surveillance. The ACLU should really try to be more precise in its wording.
4. Many of those detained in this current action, are not citizens of the US, and do not have the same rights.
"Many of those detained in this current action, are not citizens of the People's Republic of China, and do not have the same rights." What if that was you under consideration? Would you find it "fair and equitable" to be unable to speak freely to the one person you can talk to who is on your side, and is able to work for you legally?
5. In almost all true professions, Law and Clergy being the exceptions, practitioners are bound by codes of ethics that demand action when the safety or welfare of other human beings is at stake.
Other posters have stated that lawyers are under restraint to provide information if the safety or welfare of other humans is at stake. They have also stated that lawyers are to do the same if they are told of crimes to be. However, stating that, "This is what happened, and why I did it", does not endanger others. It comes down to the honesty and morality of the defense counsel if the accused is revealing information that WILL endanger others.
Seems to me that occam's razor would indicate that Ashcroft is using 9/11 cynically to get an agenda across that has not one damn thing to do with terrorism.
And the FAA, and Feinstein, and Schumer, and Bush, and, well, pretty much the entire government.
This has got to be some sort of a record- Radio Shack stuff working!
You mean RS-bought items have a reputation for NOT working? Hmm. Maybe that Realistic stuff I bought doesn't actually work, and my office door just stays open all on its own! Thank you, kind stranger! I am off to find out my doors need, or lack of it, for a doorstop!
Next think you know William Jennigs Bryan IV will come out of the woodwork charging that Evolution is a crime against God, America, and violates the Digitial Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA).
If he claims that homosexuals use it, Falwell and Donahue will leap to his support before his lips stop moving.
That is a very good point. Let us never forget what happened. Thank you for bringing that up. Banning items that would help people remember the atrocities committed by the Nazis would make it easier to forget, and make learning from history that much harder.
Personally, I have several patches taken as trophies from the uniforms of dead and or captured German soldiers, brought back by my Grandfather after the war. There are a couple af swastikas, several rank and corps patches, and a modest-sized bird o' prey clutching a swastika, printed on linen cloth. I keep them on my shelf, next to my M1 rifle, to remind me of my Grandfather, and of what happened.
...most people want a guarantee ( even if it is worthless).
Nicely put. Remember that line in Tommy Boy, "If you want me to, I'll take a shit in a cardboard box and stamp a guarantee on it...all they've sold you is a guaranteed piece of shit!"

Annie? Oh my, you've grown!
From the AOTC script stolen from the Lucasfilm offices, we have Anakin's (Annie's) reply:

For us!
It's a hard-knock row,
To hoe!"

Just rent a UHaul and take it yourself next time.

Can u give us an example of where a triangle window would be of _any_ use other than a visual curiosity?
Giving an Amway sales pitch?
Date Daisy Fuentes [daisyfuentes.com] (or any one person of your choice)
Ginger or Maryann?
Nurse Chapel or Counselor Troi?
Princess Leia or Queen Amidala?

And a 2 minute movie of random people talking and closing credits is perfect for their attention span.
And it will still contain more meaningful content and better music than a Spice Girls concert.
You first have to secure mail to do this.

Show me where, in the Constitution, one has a right to private communication with one's lawyer.
Show me where, in the Constitution, the government has the right to eavedrop on a person "presumed innocent" without a warrant.

The release of Windows XP was heralded by Microsoft as the Death of DOS.
Wasn't that one of the major marketing points of Windows 95's release, too?
Also, is the tick more of a boxer, brief, or boxer-brief man?
Or perhaps he fits into the "none" category.
does anyone else keep reading this as "Master Chef" ?

And did they get a Cue:Cat?
How about, oh, InternetXP? Or follow Intel's use of Itanic, and you get Lusitaniet. Or perhaps AMD's use of tool names would yield the BallPeenNet.

Last minute update:
Evolution (any release) not permitted on computers owned or operated by schools or students in the State of Kansas.
What have these Aussies got with 5 letter 'S' names?
Hopefully Sweden will be providing us with 14-letter 'S' solutions. I could definitely get into some serious Snugglebunnies with their Bikini Team.
