Thus the crime of treason consists of two elements: adherence to the enemy; and rendering him aid and comfort. A citizen intellectually or emotionally may favor the enemy and harbor sympathies or convictions disloyal to this country's policy or interest, but so long as he commits no act of aid and comfort to the enemy, there is no treason. On the other hand, a citizen may take actions, which do aid and comfort the enemy-making a speech critical of the government or opposing its measures, profiteering, striking in defense plants or essential work, and the hundred other things which impair our cohesion and diminish our strength but if there is no adherence to the enemy in this, if there is no intent to betray, there is no treason.
Luckily for the authoritarians, sedition laws--in particular, Seditious Conspiracy have filled in the gaps.
Well, consider this. The nobility are composed of the best families, and the most illustrious stock, but like most elite groups, they are the minority. Extending political power to the peasantry would infringe on the rights of the aristocracy to rule the empire in perpetuity.
There are some programming apps for the ipad, such as Codea and a variety of python apps, but they need to installed. If the ipad is controlled by the school district, the curious kid won't be able to use them.
Codea's most obvious purpose is writing games. While game design is a good way to learn programming, school administrators might not be so enlightened, and discount the educational aspects.
My ipad has altered my writing habits. I'm used to using a real keyboard on a real computer, though I have not mastered touch typing. In my experience, turning off my ipad's autocorrect leads to a higher error rate, but leaving it on runs the risk of word salad. Apparently my writing style isn't predictable enough.
Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. If I can no longer rely on spellcheck and other "crutches" because the risk of nonsense is simply too great, I will be forced to proofread my own work, and in doing so, I will pay more attention to style.
I fail to see why a picture of the cray-1s internals is off topic. Cray computer hired weavers and other practitioners of textile arts to actually assemble the thing. Honestly-- [digibarn.com] should have been a major clue.
The 105MHz is a bit deceptive in that this thing probably had much higher memory/IO/etc bandwidth and vector capability compared to a traditional desktop of that era running at that speed.
According to this popular mechanics article from 1982 the top 6 home computers were the IBM PC, the TSR-80, the Apple II, the Atari 800, the Commodore PET, and the TI 99/4a. The IBM PC ran at 4.77 MHz. If I recall correctly , "wait states" also played an important role-- something that Cray would have avoided.
Then again, personal computers were designed to be affordable. Minicomputers, workstations and mainframes were quite a bit faster.
There are natural rights, and civil rights, and political rights and social rights. Some depend on the existence of a state, or on a particular social order.
but, I suppose that you have a particular view of things that you would like to be part of the indoctrination known as "civics class."
Actually, I'm quite skeptical of constitutional literalism. I prefer Souter's view.
My own interpretation of Madison is that the the constitution invites conflict as a means of thwarting would be tyrants. If the constitution gave clear answers to every political dispute, it could be gamed.

The simulator helps you understand how your civil liberties are being violated. It helps make vague understandings more concrete.
The government, by definition, has the consent of the governed. Otherwise, it would be long gone.
Our Constitution defines Treason very specifically as giving aid or shelter to an Enemy.
or in levying war against the united states. However, there is an additional element to the "aid and comfort" clause.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Plato was wrong about a great many things. Why shouldn't this be one more of them?
You're in luck. The mac mini has two memory slots and can use up to 16 GB.
Maybe you just need to max out your memory.
Those are FISA wiretaps, and you aren't supposed to know about them.
Are you speaking from personal experience, or are you just pulling things out of your ass?
In my experience, Xcode is just not that demanding.

What about macrovision?
You're still using composite video?
Are you a weaver by trade?
That's fiat money. Real men use gold.

God doesn't give a shit about a lot of things. He's dead.

Here's the Lawrence Tribe's syllabus for his constitutional law course I don't think it promises the clear cut, fundamentalist political values that a lot of people seem to seek out. But would be lawyers might find it to be of practical use.
There's one in fairfax, near fair oaks mall. I miss Borders, though.
I recommend the rainbow bible It's pre highlighted, so you don't waste time reading stuff that isn't going to be on the exam.
The form factor is completely different. The ipad also has a much high resolution screen than most laptops.
