Americans were free to elect FDR four times; and the legislatures of the United States are free to change the Constitution to allow future voters to do so. It is not treason to advocate that this be done. Violent overthrow of the constitution, sure, but amending it out of existence isn't treason-- in the United States. In other nations, it might be treason to fuck the king's Mistress.., but that tramples upon the liberty of two consenting adults.
. I'm sure the originators of the document didn't include the provision that trying to change term limits for the President was treason on a whim. Far better, I agree, that Honduras amend their constitution to include an impeachment process.
A recent article in Slate claimed that Honduras lacked a means of removing the President peacefully.
In virtually every other country in the world, Zelaya would have been removed from office. But, peculiarly, the Honduran Constitution does not include an impeachment procedureâ"Congress is entitled to name a new president only in the absence of the current one. So, rather than bringing Zelaya before a judge to be tried for his criminal misbehavior, the army rousted him out of bed and flew him off to Costa Rica in his pajamas. The legislature then voted to replace him with Roberto Micheletti, the head of Congress, who was next in the line of succession.
Oh, and there's also all the whining voice actors do about when movies use real actors in their movies rather than making do with people whose only skill is having a strange voice. There's a reason they're voice actors and not actors.
One strange voice? Billy West voices Fry, Farnsworth, Zapp, and Zoidberg. Just as the character of "Le Chevalier Raphael Danceny" is materially different from that of "Ted Logan" and "Neo", the voice that West uses for "Elmer Fudd" is different than the one he uses for "Stimpson 'Stimpy' J. Cat".
During the boot process, the BIOS provides an opportunity for the user to hit a hot key that terminates the boot process and instead displays a menu used to modify various platform settings. This includes settings such as boot order, disabling various processor or chipset features, modifying media parameters, etc. On an embedded device, BIOS setup (and any similar settings provided by an operating system loader) is more of a liability since it gives the end-user access to BIOS features that are potentially untested on the device. It is better to have a set of setup options that may be chosen at BIOS build time. Removal of BIOS setup also saves significant BIOS post time.
Fortran 1977 was the 1977 successor to Fortran I (1954-1957), Fortran II (1958), Fortran III (1961), Fortran IV (1961) and Fortran 66. Fortran 66, Fortran 77, Fortran 90, and Fortran 95 were all based on standards published in 1966, 1977, 1990, and 1995, respectively.
If Microsoft had been broken up shortly after the publication of Windows 3.11, we might have seen Corel Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 95, Novell Windows 95 etc, Lotus Windows 95, IBM Windows 95... all competing implementations of the Windows Standard released in 1995.
Seems like a clear case of "heads, we win, tails, you lose". This lawsuit ensures that one part of wells fargo gets the proceeds of any auction or resale, and what's left over after satisfying the original note (yeah right)/ will still go to the other part of wells fargo. Maybe the 80% note is subordinate to the 20% note?
Mean book weight is dragged down by paperback books-- the LoC tends to acquire hardback books. I can't remember if they may a habit of rebinding paperbacks.
Wow.. just Wow. What the fuck has happened to the US? What happened to free speech? Wasn't all this shit worked out in the 70s? Why the hell was the unconstitutional finding to do with privacy and not freedom of speech?
Privacy is a bit of a catch all doctrine-- the government has no business interfering in our personal and private lives, absent a compelling concrete interest. Hence, birth Control, abortion, various sexual positions, private schools, and so on are all protected from government meddling. While it's possible to read erotica for intellectual stimulation, most people "use porn" (to quote Coupling) for stimulation of a different kind. A 14th amendment argument asks why the government is even involved in regulating porn, while a 1st amendment argument attempts to justify the porn as substantive speech. A bit of a gamble, and galling to 1st amendment absolutists, but given the legal doctrine surrounding "obscenity", worth a try.
Extreme Teen 24: contains a scene of a naive supposed young girl being talked into having sex by an older man. The actress involved was over 18, however dressed and acted like a young girl. Cocktails 2: various scenes of women drinking vomit, saliva and other bodily fluids. It was the director's cut version of the film that was cited in the case. Ass Clowns 3: a female journalist is being raped by a gang led by Osama bin Laden; the journalist is freed and the gang members killed. The director's cut version also contains a scene where Jesus steps off the cross and has sex with an angel. 1001 Ways to Eat My Jizz: Forced Entry: The film depicts the beating, rape and murder of women by a serial killer, who is eventually killed by a mob of vigilantes. There are three scenes which graphically portray rape and murder, and women are also spat on. Extreme's website called it their "most controversial movie" and "a stunningly disturbing look at a serial killer, satanic rituals, and the depths of human depravity." Forced Entry was directed by Lizzy Borden and released in 2002. Again it was the director's cut version of the film that was cited in the case.
Sounds like it doesn't appeal to my prurient interests. But a porn distributor with only four titles isn't much of a distributor, and the imprisonment, forfeiture, and all that other nonsense will surely affect distribution of other, non-"obscene" titles that might well appeal to someone.
DVDs only offer 480i resolution, and all the artifacts of mpeg2. You can upscale and deinterlace it all you want, but it's still going to be inferior to a bluray image-- even one that's been squeezed down into a 720p television.
Think about it-- a upconversion adds detail that isn't there. A downconversion discards detail that isn't required.
My Apple keyboard has 19 Function keys-- which is ironic because the Macintosh was designed to make function keys obsolete. Before the Macintosh, many programs came with keyboard templates to remind the user what control-shift-f6 actually did in a particular program. (The Apple II didn't use function keys, but rather control,and in the case of the Apple/// and Apple//e, the open apple and closed apple, combinations). Open Apple Q to quit, and so on.

The Walt Disney Company has been a American corporate citizen for more than 85 years, far more than the required 35. Why shouldn't it be president? :)

Whims can lead to misplaced priorities.
When claims of "treason" interfere with liberty, treason should be redefined more narrowly.

Something like $\frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^{N}(x_i-y_i)^2$, where $x$ and $y$ are arrays of pixels, and $N is the number of pixels in each array?

1080p is 1920*1080. The extra 120 pixels on a 1920*1200 monitor is good for a palette, a menu bar, and perhaps some window decorations.
The distinction between pornography and political dissent is meaningless. Both corrupt the soul.
