had it been of a sexual nature involving the child, the district would have already been charged with creating child pornography, which it has not.
That's not true at all. If nobody raised the child porn issue, it is unlikely anyone would be charged with it, even if the crime fits. Some authority actually has to identify it as a crime first, which may only happen if there is a complainant.
I lived with a douchebag housemate for a while and he was fucking paranoid that the neighbor was sneaking into our yard by hopping a fence, so he called the cops and he asked them if it would be ok to put razor blades on the top of the fence that would slash up any intruder's hands if they tried to hop it. I was glad he asked because I figured the cops would put him in his place. Instead they were all like, "Oh sure, I don't see a problem with that." I practically shit my pants when I heard that. Of course it was my own fault for living with this prick in the first place. I finally got him to take down the razor blades only after about 2 months of verbal humiliation....
I think from what I've heard, Israel does the most ardous security check ever and they do it without being dicks about it. They have intelligent agents, who ask the right questions and do not invade your personal space to intimidate you.
I'm guessing you've never gone through this security check as a young Arab male.

"What's wrong with a kiss, boy? Hmm? Why not start her off with a nice kiss? You don't have to go leaping straight for the clitoris like a bull at a gate. Give her a kiss, boy!"
You guys have it all wrong. This is a good thing. Apple isn't competing with Google. They are just trying to protect users from malware apps that turn users into evil androids! Have you people not seen Blade Runner?
Well it's not that it "would not apply," but that the balance would likely be determined against fair use. The tricky thing about fair use is that all four of those criteria must be considered, but there is no indication of how to quantify their implications. A lot of university lawyers try to get out of this by saying arbitrarily that 10% (or whatever) of a copyrighted work is all that may be used, but that is just a number pulled out of the air. In general violations of this sort are likely to be treated on a case by case basis by the courts, and gray area cases can be pretty unpredictable.

Hell, I'd go as far as to tell them that I have masturbated in front of it.
Did you? If not, keep in mind that they will have evidence of that as well. Falsely accusing someone of a felony probably won't get you very far.
forced a child to strip and wiggle (without probable cause, for that matter).
The Fourth Amendment specifically outlaws forced wiggling without probable cause.

Google buzz is useless until it adds a "Please Rob Me" function.
allowed pages to be ranked and categorized according to whether it was "insightful," "interesting," "informative," "funny," "flamebait," or "troll."

There are some misunderstandings with the article. This is the robotic arm in question. And "Sketch" is Austrian slang for "pulverize."
Of course, do your research first.
I did my research; I read the summary on slashdot!
that little blue roundish e thing on my desktop.
That's an ecstasy tab, dude! Paaaarty at Low Ranked Craig's place!!!!
If you're were in Iran you would have been stoned to death already.
Thanks to the medical pot laws, you can do the same in California.
First they eliminate FAST search, but it will soon be replaced by Microsoft's patented SLOW search technology, and the world will again belong to M$!!
the evil bit was set to "0"
Java, likewise, is crappy on everything.
I thought consistency is a good thing?

I know. It's out there, but, contrary to my expectations, she didn't totally humiliate me in front of everyone in the cafeteria.

Of course not. That movie was made before the iPhone. :P

That part is easily guessed; "2009 Income Tax Returns" would be easy to guess as well.
Oh shit ... hackers can find out how broke I really am!!
In a world where information is criminal, only criminals will have information.
Information doesn't kill people. Informed people kill people!
