the only thing Kelly has to look forward to as a result of his arrest is 15 minutes of fame.
And having to disclose the arrest for any background check or security clearance he may apply for in the future. Some employers may just see "felony arrest" and immediately pass him over without looking any further.
A little research turns up that this was recorded by the Russian soprano Maria Alexandrovna Michailova. I'm not sure what the personal after-death copyright on performances is, but if she kept it the base date is 1943, the year she died. That's only 64 years ago. Depending on various grandfathering with the laws over time, the copyright could still be in effect.
I just can't repeat it often enough. Sure, depending on the law a lawyer can't represent you in small claims court, but he can certainly prepare you for it behind the scenes, greatly increasing your chances. Besides, just preparing you costs a lot less.
Get a lawyer.
The confusion over what court is what and how appeals go simply endorses the point.

Before it's too late (like after you lose).
Or maybe it's not too late. Think "countersuit," especially if you're right about him falsifying evidence. You might have a nice little defamation case on your hands.
This is cool, but how can we force them to actually answer the hard questions they'll get? They're so used to scripted responses that I don't think they'll know how.
And it's a legitimate tool to an extent. If you notice most of the suspects are Hispanic, then you naturally target places where Hispanics sell. You're not going to get much return on your law enforcement dollars if the cops are casing a rich retirement community instead.
Are we not even allowed to mention race anymore?
"Excuse me miss, what race was the man who raped you." "I won't tell, it's not politically correct." "Well, it might help us catch him."
Carmack's been known to write and throw away entire rendering engines overnight. This one must have pretty good potential if he's been sticking with it for a while.
A large portion of current Wii games, including Zelda, are basically Game Cube ports with reworked controls. Expect graphics on Wii games to get better.
I just checked, and I found an article about moving stockpiles to border countries in the run up to the invasion
A smart military plans for the worst. Many of our ships and subs have nuclear weapons onboard, but that doesn't mean we use them either. In both cases it takes some pretty high-level permission to use them, division commander at least for the mines, and then only if the secretary of defense decides to delegate that far down. And after all that we can only use self-deactivating mines. Policy also says we must record where we put them for later retrieval.
But our biggest complaint was about the DMZ. You'll likely be shot before you ever get a chance to step on a land mine in the DMZ. It is a heavily-protected area where all the mine locations are mapped, and it is only there in case Crazy Kim decides he wants a vacation in the South. So where is the possibility of any civilian casualties?
As with Kyoto, the fact that we didn't sign on is used against us, without even looking at why we didn't sign on.
I know someone who was there when it hit. He heard the jet. He braved the heat and smoke to carry people to safety. He saw the jet fuel reigniting when they thought it was out (how does a cruise missile do that?). He saw jet parts.
This is pure tin-foil-hat conspiracy theory, and not a very good one. Conspiracy theorists normally get the basic facts straight and twist them. This one has the 4th ID being from Fort Bliss while back in reality they're from from Fort Hood. Al Jazeera propaganda, pure and simple.
The ICC is meant for states that do not police their own people. It would, for example, bring Milosevic's troops to justice where he would protect them. It is being used against Charles Taylor, since he is outside of his country, and there's nobody else to prosecute him.
But how many people has the US prosecuted for such violations? Quite a few.
The US does not want to get into this because of the threat of politically-motivated claims and trial by kangaroo court by exactly the kind of anti-American people who compiled this list. In the court, many rights guaranteed to Americans by the Constitution do not exist, such as trial by jury. I applaud this instance of my government actually protecting the constitutional rights of its citizens.
If you doubt that selective prosecution, then ask yourself why none of the over 100 crimes (including child rape) committed by UN forces (Annan admitted it) have been investigated. With all the atrocities committed in Iraq by the insurgents, why didn't they even look into Zarqawi?
We banned sale of antipersonnel mines for combat use in 1992. IIRC, our last sale was a small one to Canada to so they can test their mine defenses (the Ottawa treaty allows mines for such purposes). We are also the single biggest donor to humanitarian mine action programs in money, training and equipment, pretty much all of that cleaning up the mess left by other countries through the indiscriminate placement of permanent mines.
So we do even more than the Ottawa treaty wants, except for two things: We get protection from mines in the Korean DMZ (not a danger to civilians, and they actually belong to South Korea anyway) and we reserve the right to use them if needed (although we haven't used them in Kosovo, Afghanistan or Iraq).
I was ready to hear real censorship, but this is a laundry list of the most incredible bias I've seen in a long time, complete with a good dose of tin foil hat.
It's even internally inconsistent, exposing the bias. For example, #12 criticizes Bush for doing an "about-face" on land mines after Clinton's statements to get rid of them, but they say that research on the new breed of land mine started in 1999 -- under Clinton and before Bush.
In its effort to portray the United States as a renegade land mine loving country, it fails to mention that while we didn't sign the Ottawa treaty, we are a signatory to the land mine portion of the 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons.
The federal government has it right. No work created by the federal government can be copyrighted, as it's public record. However, they do often get around this by contracting for the creation of the work, and then having the contractor assign copyright back to the federal government.
But as for states, they all have their own rules. And many retain copyright on publicly-created works.
Matt Rosoff, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft, also suspects the bin's placement is meant to be funny, as it would likely be in the Zune team's best interest to use the latest iPod devices for competitive purposes.
We thought the Zune was a bad Microsoft attempt at an iPod knock-off, well, here you go. Maybe Microsoft should reverse this and buy latest-generation iPods for its entire Zune team. Then the attempt at a copy might be better.
I'm willing to bet that the reason Firefox uses so much memory is because it uses an absolutely huge amount of data.
We have a winner! Just cranking up Firefox for the first time doesn't use much memory. But in addition to the history, disk cache, etc, it caches in memory the last several pages you visited in order to make the back/forward buttons work fast. Multiply this by several tabs that you've been browsing through for a while, and you're using a lot of memory.
It shouldn't be that hard to make an add-on that that parses Places into HTML and loads it onto the page. Available as a button or as the home page at startup.
The N64 let you play any type of game comfortably, allowing you to put your hands in position for the types of controls used in the game. It was by far the most versatile, and the most comfortable controller ever made up to that time. Discounting the Wii (as they so unfairly have), I agree the Cube would have to be the best.
The average view of the population is, by definition, the center of the political spectrum.
Open-participation polls are always bound to produce results skewed towards those who are more passionate about the issue to take their time to respond to a poll.
And, yes, you go far enough left in some cases you end up on the right. Even the more modern 2D political charts that cover both government power and social freedom axes don't quite explain it all.
If you'd watched the US in the early 80s you'd have thought we were all Bible-thumpers who wanted everything we disliked wiped out. But that wasn't the case, instead it was a relatively small, but very loud and influential group called the Moral Majority.
It doesn't take reality to be liberal. All it takes is for liberals to be more fanatical about editing Wikipedia.
Personally, I'm not really "right" or "left." I just want to live my life as free as possible from government control -- the control constantly sought by both the left and right. I get called a leftist by those on the right, and a rightist by those on the left, so I guess that puts me in the middle somewhere.
Given that, I do see a serious ideological left bent in Wikipedia. I've tried to put hard facts (well-cited, thank you) to give a counter to obviously left-biased articles (or articles where the viewpoint is used to justify government intrusion), only to have them removed or edited to oblivion. It's often a hard fight to keep such facts in Wikipedia. Anti-American sentiment is definitely there, with wild, unsubstantiated rumors that keep popping up again after they're killed, and the editors will not keep them out. In that case the only recourse is to post the facts in opposition to the rumors (and hope they survive), but such things should not have to be done.
Yes, I abhor the pathetic conservapedia even more. Wikipedia's slant is more of an accident, a result of the populace and to some extent those Wales put in charge. But conservapedia was conceived as biased.

Whenever something goes wrong we have to find a way to blame it on Global Warming. Research grants must continue flowing!
And when good stuff happens we just ignore it, hope people don't notice until the next bad stuff happens.

It scared the hell out of the Soviets, who scrambled back to the bargaining table after we deployed the Pershing II in Germany.

I considered it, but some things still rubbed me wrong. What I can't do is get into either of the main parties.
Democrat: Out of your bedroom and into your business.
Republican: Out of your business and into your bedroom.

"Zero-cost distribution channels"

I'll use their euphemisms if they use mine.
