Yes, but US courts would still have to uphold the constitution and its rules on unreasonable search and seizure. In this case, the US company, Comcast Cable Communications, gave out the information, and the court ruled that there should have been a prima facia case that defamation occured prior to the release of the name of "Proud Citizen."
So, this is NOT a case for keeping the 'net in US control.
The posted requirements from here list the following requirements:
In an interview for StrategyInformer, a 2K Games representative stated that the minimum requirements will be: 1GHz processor, 256MB of RAM and a video card with T&L support. The recommended requirements are: Pentium 4 processor, 512 MB RAM and a video card with performances as good as ATI's Radeon 9800.

I was referring to tax cuts for the extremely wealthy and not for the lower, lower middle and middle classes.
Money spent "wisely" by rich people or money spent "unwisely" by poor people will have the same effect on the economy.
The government only spends money on what we tell them to. If you don't like it talk to your representative/senator. If that doesn't change things: talk louder, bring friends.
Money spent on investments like STOCK do not go to the businesses and companies. It goes to people who used to own the stock, aka the rich and upper middle classes.
Half of the super rich stopped earning their incomes generations ago, relying on capital gains, interest revenue and other unearned income for the main portion of their incomes.
My mouth does not froth; I believe in fiscal responsibility, both for our government and the general populous. I believe our current government administration has failed us on fiscal responsibility.
I know that people with larger earned incomes generally deserve them and should have access to them, but I also think that capital gains taxes should be higher, the EIC should have higher uppers limits, and the lowest tax brackets should be broader. I believe that the Alternative Minimum tax should apply more often and that estate taxes should begin at $1M, even if that means that my heirs receive less when I die.
If we do not decrease spending and continue to decrease taxation at the highest income levels then more of the governments' burden will fall on the people who are least able to support it.
How is a small group of rich people spending money on yachts, cars, multi-million dollar houses any better for the economy than a multitude of improverished people buying the basic necessities of life, like food, clothing, homes, etc?
The money basically goes into the economy as a whole in both situations, but the rich would get a marginally better standard of living and the impoverish would get a major boost to theirs.
That doesn't even take into account the fact that "rich" people invest their money primarily which leads to the money "trickling down" to other rich people and handful of upper middle class folks who dabble in investments. It creates an increasing disparity between the rich and the poor.
Well, actually, they were not dissing the democrats in as much as they were messing with Texas.
You do not mess with Texas. It says so.
I am proud of my Texas Democrats who recognized that the Republicans were attempting to break the law by redistricing the state earlier than the legal requirments allowed them to. Politics in action. Frustrating, for sure, but part of the checks and balances enabled in our system to prevent any one person or group from completely ignoring the other "side."
As it stands, they have sliced up the Democratic "stronghold" of Austin; I have friends in Austin who vote in the same congressional district as people in the Houston Area, 169 miles away.
Geographically, this is similar to people in St. Louis, MO voting in the same District as Evansville, IN.
Sarbanes-Oxley is a law that only applies to SEC firms (firms that are publicly traded in the US and must report financial statements to the SEC.)
Prevents Accounting firms from doing non-Audit functions for SEC firm that they also perform SEC Audits for (except tax-work, and only if approved by the SEC, and for work that produces minimal income to the Audit firm. These must be disclosed in the Financial Statements of the firm audited.) This is important becase an audit firm in the past could be doing as much or more work for a company in consulting as they were for in audit. The leads to an impression that the auditor might not be independant of the firm.
Increases the required independence of the Audit Committee of SEC Firms (Members of the Board of Directors who hire and oversee Independant Auditors). This is important because the Audit committee should not be biased towards the company if they are hiring the independant auditors and overseeing their work.
Makes Management of companies more responsible for the assertions they have in their Financial Statements (and assertion may be along the lines of "Currents Assets: $1.3 Billion" or "In the following year we expect to open three more locations in..."). This is important because, if the CEO signs a statement that states that he knows financial statements are reported fairly and without any material misstatements, he cannot say in court that "I had no idea that this was happening."
Requires Management to asses the controls associated with preventing fraud, defalcation and errors that could lead to materially misstating their Financial Statements, and requires an independant Audit of this assesment. (This would be the part that affects the IT community the most.)
It also created a required record retention for audits, more thourough peer reviews of audits and rotations of the Audit Partners associated with the audit. (Thank you, Arthur Andersen)
How this affected me: Many more jobs in the Audit field, mine being one. Which allows me to be a techy on the side, which is a lot more fun that it being work.
Despite the fact that I will be ostricized by my "peers" here on slashdot for adding absolutly nothing to the discussion.
Oh, and if this guy is so concerned about the rights of the authors of his sights he should tell them, "Don't break the law. I will be forced to give them IP information if you do."

Normal, it's across the street from Bloomington. The street's name? Why, Division St., of course.
I spent the first 12 years of my life in Normal. Then we moved about a mile outside of Normal. So, yeah, I've lived in Normal and the outskirts of Normal, what's your point?

Of course, the person who receives the transplant will not have the same bone structure, so it would likely not look the same.
And it makes no mention to replacing nose cartilage. Would that come too? Would the person be able to alter the nose while he/she's at it?
Do you think your wife would be okay with someone who had basically no face using hers?
Yes.
