They do, but only up to 802.11b. 802.11g and 802.11n are still out, and forget about pre-shared passkeys as 13 digit hex pair keys are the minimum amount of sophistication allowed.
Correct me if necessary, but my understanding was that the USA was formed with the understanding that the federal government was always supposed to be fairly minimalist, with individual states having a lot of independence to choose how to govern themselves. How and when did this change? Was it all during WW2 or something like that, or has it been more of a slippery slope?
I'd have to say it all started going downhill with John Adams. The Naturalization Act, Alien Act, Alien Enemies Act, and the Sedition Act. What a wonderful start we got off too, couldn't even make it 10 years before the corruption started.
What you just described is already taken care of with laws against inciting riots. Why do we need more laws covering the same thing? It's like having a law against apples, and another law against red apples.
Entrapment is tricking someone into committing a crime. This is more like when the police send out raffle prize announcements to everyone with outstanding warrants and arresting them when they show up.
You just have to budget in medical costs as part of your lively hood, don't live beyond your means, and you can afford health care.
This same mentality would have also saved us a lot of the trouble of this financial meltdown. If all these people would have put aside the money they were saving from their super low rate mortgages instead of living frivolously they would have been prepared for a raise in their monthly payments. A lot of people seem to want to blame the banks for being deceptive, but come on, they're called "adjustable rate mortgages", not "low rate until you find a better one mortgages". You don't even need to read the contract to know they could change.
Most of the world's problems would be lessened quite a bit if people would follow one piece of advice: "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst."
I just don't see why they would want to get rid of him for having cancer. I can see the news report now:
CUPERTINO, Calif., Jul 24, 2008 (Silicon Valley News) In a move towards stablization, Apple fires CEO Steve Jobs because he has cancer. In other news Apple Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:AAPL) stock falls 60 points. Apple Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer was quoted saying, "It caught us completely by suprise." "One moment everything was going fine, the next there were riots all along the east and south sides of the Apple compound." A witness on the scene reported seeing a chair flying through a window moments Steve Balmer fell to his death on the pavement below.
The way I see it if he really is dieing from cancer they're screwed no matter what they do. They've completely built up Steve as being their savior.
I used to think their laws were amusing too until they started moving here in waves and changing our laws too.
Oh, and to stay on topic, if the person is indeed missing it shouldn't be that hard to get a warrant. I'm all for helping to find missing people in danger and all, but this like jaywalking when the crosswalk is 5 feet away. Lazyness, pure and simple. We have a system in place, join civilization and use it.
However that one little clause deep in the license basically grants WotC the right to choose to seize the exclusive rights to anything you produced surrounding the D20 system. It grants them full and unrestricted access to all source materials, and it grants them the right to resell and distribute the goods produced from it. Further, it grants them the right to revoke the license from you, barring you from further use. Buried? The clause is about as buried as the word "caffeine" is buried in the ingredients for Mountain Dew. The license is only two pages long, and in a 12-point font. Also, nowhere does it state that they can "sieze" anything, only that you cease marketing your product and destroy all copies if you breach the license.
This is a completely different approach, it only slows cancer using a drug to restrict the presence of a certain enzyme. In I Am Legend they used a retrovirus to control the cancer. (They used a modified version of measles which technically is a paramyxovirus, not a retrovirus
That's a good point. Maybe we should one-up them and drop a few nukes across our country, that'll get our school shootings down even lower. Fewer people, fewer shootings.
Birth Certificates are no longer valid for getting Social Security Cards. I went through the hell of getting a new ID recently after all my identifying documents were lost in a move. Turns out after a year of hell all I needed was a school transcript. That's right, a fucking school transcript. They accept a dot fucking matrix, carbon copied school transcript, but not a birth certificate which actually has security features built into it. National IDs will accomplish nothing but make honest citizens easier to track and spy upon. Sure you can't conterfeit them easilly, but who needs to when you can get a real one with such ease
Hell, nearly all the agencies corrupt, the CIA was first staffed by Nazi war criminals. We have the ATF storming in with their "shoot first, ask questions later" motto. The NSA arresting people and throwing them in jail without a trial because they think some guy can launch nukes by whistling into a phone. The Federal Reserve raping the value of the USD. The SSA stealing our money for a retirment that doesn't exist. About the only ones I trust are NASA and the USPS, except for the occasional shuttle explosion and USPS worker going "postal" they might as well be saints compared to the others.
That wasn't directly Mattel's fault, though indirectly it could be. It was the fault of some idiot in China that they outsource their plastics production to. (not being racist, the people at fault actually were idiots, and actually happened to be in China).
Just one of the many fun side effects that arise when we outsource our manufacturing so we can save 5 cents a product and roll back (tm) prices at Walmart.
If they're this upset over a potential loss of honor and respect they would get from the ninja story, I'd hate to see what they do in response to what they get for pulling this stunt.

I can tell my NICs to use whatever MAC I want. I can do the same with my router as well.

Did you use the block heater? Every diesel I've seen sold in a market where it regularly drops below 0 came with a block heater.
Just wait until the last possible moment,open a hyperspace window and let the astroid fly "through" earth.
Problem solved.

Maybe because he was 14 or 15 and didn't know what OSHA was, or for that matter who FICA was and why they were taking all his money.

The singularity is about to explode!

And thanks to the Patriot Act, horse meat is FDA approved!
