It is interesting that the prosecutor portrayed this as a pen trap. Courts have ruled that users do not have a reasonable expectation that the numbers they dial on their phone line will remain private (basicaly because they show up on the bill) but that they do have a reasonable expectation that nobody is listening in. That is why this information can be obtained without probable cause. But if Lavabit offered specific guarantees that this information would not be recorded except in the encryted e-mail boxes, then the users had a reasonable expectation of privacy. This might make the use of a pen trap without probable cause illegal.
A private contract between a company and end user does not increase a right to privacy with respect to the government. In this instance it _might_ have triggered a lawsuit by users against Lavabit for breach of contract. Lavabit would win such a suit with the defense of having followed a court order.
You need to read the article, it seems to depend on gender (maybe): Controversy remains about the extent to which dynamic warm-ups prevent injury. But studies have been increasingly clear that static stretching alone before exercise does little or nothing to help. The largest study has been done on military recruits; results showed that an almost equal number of subjects developed lower-limb injuries (shin splints, stress fractures, etc.), regardless of whether they had performed static stretches before training sessions. A major study published earlier this year by the Centers for Disease Control, on the other hand, found that knee injuries were cut nearly in half among female collegiate soccer players who followed a warm-up program that included both dynamic warm-up exercises and static stretching.

UK Report Slams EULAs

Courts have upheld EULA's in the US on several occasions. Save for some terms that the 9th circuit recently found unconscionable (particularly arbitration clauses) the courts are ok with them. See the ProCD and Gateway2000 cases. (Law Student, graduating in May)
To everyone who questioned the "there is no law" statement, it is correct. There is no law in the US prohibiting access of minors to the movies. It is industry regulation by the MPAA that they enforce by threatening to pull movies from theaters that violate the policy. The MPAA created these regulations precisely so Congress would not legislate on the matter.
Read up on administrative law. Administrations created by congress (FAA, FCC, SEC, Mint, etc) can pass rules that are binding as federal law. It is part of their charter as federal administrative bodies.

So you punished students who grasped the material while it was being taught and didnt need to study from your lecture notes (not a requirement, just optional)? Thats not intersting, or enjoyable, you're just an ass. If you want to give extra credit to kids who will do optional things, just tell them that one hour of community service with a group from {list of groups} will give them the credit. Everyone has a shot, and it helps the community.
True, Arthur C. Clarke does write science fiction, but true science fiction (Note lack of fantasy elements) just takes realistic science and changes one principle or posits a truth and runs with it. A.C.C. has been a master at it, and the truth he posit in The Fountains of Paradise was of a cable strong enough to bear the weight of the elevetor itself. We have discovered a material with such a (possible) strength in carbon nanotubes (buckytubes)./The Fountains of Paradise was the book he used the space elevator in
Yes, it was a serious interview. The idea of a space elevator has been bandied around in scientific and science fields for a number of years, but the strength of the cable needed to hold it up was always a sticking factor. With the discovery of Carbon-60 (Buckyballs and Buckytubes) the strength factor is theoretically within reach. The basic idea is an elevator with its center of gravity at geosyncronous orbit, making the elevator stay in one spot over the earth. It would allow for much larger space lift capacities and much lower costs per pound.

Most people have a computer powerful enough to handle it in their house, just need a tv tuner and software. True, it wouldn't be the best to use it as a pvr and primary desktop, but it could be a file or webserver. Also, why wont it be up 24/7? My desktop (and I figure most user's on slashdot) has been up for the past 9 months with 2 days of downtime.
Actually, most of the teams will do it with one passenger and weights representing the other two. This way it proves they can lift three people while only putting one in danger.
I have not bought a cd in five years, the RIAA has every reason to hate me. However, I have found a number of new bands through p2p apps. I like the bands, not the distribution associations. Therefore I have a large collection of hats, shirts, posters, and other merchandise, bought directly from the bands websites, where they made more than 5% of my purchase price. Support the artists, not the leeches.
In high school we played what we called the spoon game. You take a regular white plastic spoon and bend down the last.5-1 inch of the handle. You would then lever up the handle and let it come smashing down on the bowl of your competitors spoon (which they are holding by the handle). Goal of the game: break off the entire bowl of your opponents spoon... be careful not to break your own when levering back for a shot.
