The fbi/dea can arrest as they please, but they can't send you straight to jail without a trial, or at least not very often without getting noticed.
Don't move yet. The USA at the federal government level doesn't approve of this (though they are currently turning an INFORMAL blind eye to it), and may well jail anyone who actually tries to run an industrial scale marijuana farm.
He'd be lucky if he was stoned. He might be able to weasel out based on not having the capacity to make a binding contract.
"Competency and Capacity
A natural person who enters a contract possesses complete legal capacity to be held liable for the duties he or she agrees to undertake, unless the person is a minor, mentally incapacitated, or intoxicated. "
Are you telling me the VCs wouldn't have a contract with Zuckerberg that says he owes them absolutely everything if he failed to disclose a prior contractual obligation materially affecting the company? That would be crazy stupid if true.
And tell that guy who follows you around layers of discussions which are tangential at best, that guy who automatically mods you up one point, to get a life.
You mean Slashdot? I assume you're seeing my karma bonus, none of my posts in this thread have been upmoderated.
That's a supposition to explain the fact that right wingers hold crazy beliefs, and signs espousing racist ideology. And in any case, it wasn't my supposition.
Again, appointed not elected. And nothing there indicates to me that Obama knew about the possibility that he signed said petition before the appointment.

Here's two, one by harris, one by research 2000. You may not believe the one by research 2000, but their numbers are quite similar to Harris, so no particular reason to discredit this particular poll.
I can't think of any religious leftist propaganda, so either it's so ingrained in my head (perfect success!) that I can't see it anymore, or they do NOT excel at propagating misinformation (perfect failure!)
Commentators are elected politicians now? Hint: the right is actually (re)ELECTING people who say this stuff. On the left, I think we only have that one crazy georgia congresswoman (cynthia mckinney), and we had the decency not to reelect her.
This just doesn't feel authentic without a lot of misspellings and grammatical faux pas to make it feel like the author is an illiterate nincompoop. You need to work on your fakery a bit.
It might or might not end humanity. It would almost certainly end our civilization, rendering irrelevant questions of peak oil. Whether or not humanity ends depends on whether you expect that all of the digging equipment and technology and expertise to build an underground city and grow all of our food supply there will survive a nuclear war. Given our current state of unpreparedness, I would be surprised. But you never know.
And the danger of nukes to humanity primarily comes not from direct damage, but from two of the side effects: residual radiation and particulate matter in the atmosphere. The end comes down to whether or not our technology drops below the level where we can combat and survive the negative effects on our environment.
And get defeated by the next generation laser with 1K times the power. Adding a mirror finish that absorbs radar and ablative material that weighs next to nothing makes for a super expensive aircraft.
Slashdot Mirror
By informal blind eye I mean:

I find myself imagining a fanciful story in between one thing led to another, and the day that you woke up from it.
Also, "accept this as part of who I am" and "And I liked it" made me think of:

(And having friended you, I will explicitly point out that I am just ribbing a little bit here, in case it is unclear).

Really, you, Beardo the Bearded, had facial hair? I am shocked to learn this! ;-)
Only about 1 in 20 facebook. About 5% of the population is gay.
Do you know how I know that you are gay?
LOL. I'll tell the 40 or so women I've slept with and my two ex-wives what you said.
You're just uptight. You like to play games where you look at almost-nude males - I like to play games where ...
Sounds like a pretty typical beard to me dude.

Conveniently skipping over radar absorption.
This article was about a 32kwatt laser.
Here's info about a megawatt laser weapon:

So a 1000 time jump for next generation laser seems quite plausible to me.

The polls are done, as he said, go google the existing polls. Right wing crazy thoughts are held to be true by about 25% of polled republicans.

I figured on slashdot odds favored the programmer.
It wasn't intended to be condescending. It was intended to be encouraging.

Since it's OS, maybe that's the best feature YOU could add.

You're going to build an aircraft skin out of these? That would look pretty cool I guess, but the weight might be an issue.
