OK, I did look into it briefly, it actually looks like presumption of innocence (and by extension the ability to not testify against oneself) is actually a French concept.
So I guess when people say it's different there, they are really referring to less right to a speedy trial, or some slight less protections during the investigation phase (note, this was pre 9/11), which reads the same as here in the USA.
Either over-site, or probable cause (defined as an immediately present witness right after the crime) is needed for search or arrest. Trials presume innocence.
Interestingly in France defendants and their family cannot be put under oath (which i don't know if it means they can lie, or that they cannot testify, or it is like in the US, but poorly described). Answers to unanimity and burden of proof are not answered (in the US there are many different burdens of proof, with "beyond a reasonable doubt" being used for criminal proceedings, but "preponderance of the evidence", and "Clear and convincing evidence" being used in the civil system. Also, simple majority, vs super majority, vs unanimous is not addressed, which is also kind of key.
As I read the translation it essentially says "Defendant was given an opportunity to defend, and the defense was at least thought about"
I'm curious if they need unanimous or simple majority, and what the actual burden is (but not enough to look into it). I'm also curious about the ability to not self-incriminate.
VISA used to not make money off the fees (it was a joint venture by many banks to have a service, and was not intended to make money), the presence of debit visa's pretty much shows that the fees are a worthy venture alone now, but also VISA is a company that intends to make a profit.
The problem is that merchants don't want to take dozens of competing companies (it can easily become as expensive as the couple percent fee they take), so a new comer is very unlikely. high fees are why Amex, and Discover are taken in fewer places.
Fees have gone down too, there is competition in the gateway market, and fees are about half of what they were decade ago.
Amex was from around 4% to around 3%, and VISA/MC from around 2% to around 1%.
Note, I think that is bad, and should not be the case, but it is. The constitution applies to people within the nation, and I don't think that's where they were grabbed (this is the current interpretation, I personally think we should give them real trials, and with speed, as there has been plenty of time to fail to build a vase now).
I meant to imply that it should be better prices most likely (private enterprise competing less likely to hold back supply than a single government).
I'm pretty sure the long term thinking (if there was any, i'm not convinced there was) was an iron grip is more stable. There is a point to be made with people holding offices for many decades. There is also the more nefarious possibility that a prosperous society was feared to consume more oil itself, but i choose to believe i don't live in a world that evil.
French law is Napoleonic law and it is extremely strict on the concept of "innocent until proven guilty".
Those that I know from France, and those that I know that took goverment classes in French Universities (but were not French) say that their legal system is much less innocent until proven guilty than ours. Is England just that much worse, or am I misinformed? It is a fairly small sampling, but they are educated people.
phantomfive didn't say that anybody should have to pay it, simply it was a choice he was willing to pay.
The price of gas is controlled outside our borders, meddling (propping up dictators) has kept it lower (in the short term, private industry MAY have enough competition to keep artificial reductions from happening, or it may be a cartel just like what we have now). Propping up dictators has reduced civil unrest so that there is a fairly constant flow of oil, the unrest at least temporarily raises prices.
Anyway, I interpreted others being free as allowing the revolutions to happen vs trying to quash them, that is libertarian (enforcing a no fly zone, not so much). An honest libertarian could easily say, my principals (let people be free) are worth the result of that ($10/gallon gas as a hypothetical). I don't think the implication is that raising gas price is funding that liberty, but a result of it, making the statement a reverse of "If propping up and co-operating with dictatorships is the price of $2.50/gallon gas, I will gladly pay it". That has been the (non-libertarian) policy for a very long time.
I don't believe Wayland has remote desktop (or whatever we wanna call it, since there isn't really a desktop in X).
In Wayland, the job is more generally envisioned to be handled by the toolkits, as they know more about the application than the X Server. This is a start to that process actually.
This is one solution to replace a feature lost by Wayland, pushing it forward as a general solution.
My bank has an excellent one. It simply is their mobile website without an address bar though. It is a really good website though, I use it on my desktop when I'm in super high latency low bandwidth situations.
I really want them to start allowing photograph deposits though.
Modern cans often have a lining in them that is (I believe) some type of plastic.
A micro brew in my area uses them, they are more expensive than pure aluminum cans, but less expensive than glass, which is not cheaper in small, but commercial quantities (according to a owners of another brewer I know).
It's Slyfox that uses the lined cans, they taste alright, but it still feels wrong somehow, the Guinness drought cans are pretty good too.
The thing they do corporately I dislike most, is the not allow non eBay payment methods (they want fees from every part of a transaction), and I think the random to not so random (which is worse in some cases) freezing of accounts is not great either.
Note: I use both eBay (though not for a while), and PayPal all the time, but they are not an ethical company.
I bet it is a self selected group on both sides though. You speak to the Chinese and Iranians that are willing to speak to the longer term (over one generation) Americans, and the Americans they speak to are the ones willing to talk to the newer term (less than one generation) Chinese (though many of the Chinese I know came to build railroads, and are longer term Americans than I).
I've had a few Chinese friends, and they would basically tell me when I could hang-out, and when i couldn't as members of the community as a hole would judge them (during high school) for having American (read white, as we were all Americans) friends. Later in life some drifted from the community, and others stopped being friends.
To be fair, I shun large parts of American culture, in the sense that racist and/or willfully ignorant assholes are a large part of my "American" culture (and tend to be in every culture from what I can tell).
I know all the Turks I've meet in Paris and Vienna dream to come to America, where they will be truly accepted as locals, and I don't have the heart to tell them that it is only the Americans with an interest that visiting Europe that feel that way, and a large part of the population would hate them much like the French or the Austrians.
Although the fact that things like the tea party exist, and there is more than one person that likes ayn rand's books, and GWB got voted in twice, and Reagan is the most beloved president in history... those all make that a lot harder;-)
Aren't there often enough essentially political parties that are neo nazi (in Austria), and fascist (in Italy) that are relevant to the politics?
Assholes give assholes power everywhere, not just over here.

T-mobile and AT&T phones don't play nice either though (different frequencies).
This will probably push me to a second tier carrier like Metro PCS.
T-mobile has always been customer friendly to me, and their rates are the best. They even let me save by not getting a contract and buying my phones.
Additionally I like their broadband policy the most (5gb month, then throttled, as advertised, no overage fees).
Does that make it the new perl?
Easy to write, hard to read?

Either the Nexus line, or the ADP line.
We're told from a young age we can do whatever, just be happy.
The middle class thinks it's rich, so they take out home equity loans and send their children to liberal arts colleges to study.
They don't want to study science because it's a tough market, but I'm willing to bet there is a glut of journalism majors in this country.
Pet name is high security for banking in the USA...
Mine is plugged into an external HDD and stores half a TiB or so.
It's my file-server too (though I'm torn between crappy transfer rates and low power usage),
I also regularly use it via SSH for IRC (on the HTPPS port from work...)

A few things though.
VISA used to not make money off the fees (it was a joint venture by many banks to have a service, and was not intended to make money), the presence of debit visa's pretty much shows that the fees are a worthy venture alone now, but also VISA is a company that intends to make a profit.

People in Guantanamo aren't in the system.

It's stuff I've heard from recent times from people in France, so I doubt it has anything to do with propaganda.
Perhaps there is less protections equivalent to our 4th and 5th amendments, and as you said holding before what may not be a rush to get to trial.
I just assumed it had to do with burden of proof, as that's where I think of innocent until proven guilty.
I meant to imply that it should be better prices most likely (private enterprise competing less likely to hold back supply than a single government).
I'm pretty sure the long term thinking (if there was any, i'm not convinced there was) was an iron grip is more stable. There is a point to be made with people holding offices for many decades. There is also the more nefarious possibility that a prosperous society was feared to consume more oil itself, but i choose to believe i don't live in a world that evil.
If that's the safe default, I would think the autopilot should hand over control in that state.

I like:

QR code works pretty well for phones with cameras I think.
Bluetooth forces the receiver to make their phone discoverable, which is often quite burried.
I like them, I have some space with a QR code on the back too, making for easier entry of info into a phone than typing for those that can use them.
My bank has an excellent one. It simply is their mobile website without an address bar though. It is a really good website though, I use it on my desktop when I'm in super high latency low bandwidth situations.

eBay should not be on the list.
They are PayPal keep in mind.
