One of the first things I learned in law school was never to trust second-hand reports to tell you what a law says. Section 1864.3 just says cash transactions must be reported, it doesn't "prohibit cash" or anything of the sort,
It's bad when Jenny McCarthy and Oprah use "success" from the placebo effect to cast doubt on science-based medicine. This doubt helps other scam artists sell expensive water to a patient who could be cured by real medicine.
The ethics rules/courts tend to weigh heavily on the side of protecting the "client"
It's probably not reasonable, in most cases, to expect a forum poster is your attorney, but there is no reason why you can't create an attorney-client relationship on an online forum.
If someone makes a claim, the "reasonableness" test is a point that will end up in litigation. By clearly stating that you are not their lawyer, you are hoping to make it so unlikely the plaintiff will will, they won't bother to file in the first place. (Or, if they do, you can easily get the claim dismissed.)
Your example is an obvious extreme, no one has any reason to assume you are a lawyer and the "advice" is very general. That does not mean you can't craft a post that would truly be problematic.
Saying "X has herpes" sounds like a factual misrepresentation and not just a matter of opinion. It would probably be considered "slander per se" in many jurisdictions as well.
It's never safe to judge the merits of a case from what is reported online or in newspapers, but if the right facts are there and can be proven, the "opinion" defense might not be all that promising.
There are a number of efforts around the county to do similar things. These include things like RODS Real-time Outbreak and Disease Surveillance http://rods.health.pitt.edu/, and the Environmental Public Health Tracking Program http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/tracking/.
It's not uncommon for amateur telescopes to have mirrors accurate to within 1/10th of a wavelength. If glass flowed, it wouldn't take it very long to go out of figure.
Great keyboard and the built-in software was nice.
Sure, those were the days before wifi, but the built-in 300 baud modem was a great addition. I spent many hours curising BBSs back in the day. I could also dial into my schools vax, and even e-mail (fidonet) letters home.
Probably the best part was you could put it in your book bag without dislocating your shoulder.
Why not exclude everyone who receives a government benefit they don't pay for?
Guess what, with a National debt of around $30,000 per person and climbing, it's a pretty safe bet that no one is paying enough.
Remember, it's not just the welfare checks and food stamps--even the rich suck up tons of government money. Sure, Warren Buffet may pay over $800,000 in income tax, but would GEICO and his other holdings be nearly as valuable if it were not for the federal money that went into building roads and educating the workforce? What would the goods cost if we were not paying for a Navy that has practically eliminated piracy?
If one followed the natural progression... Flashing red = stop and go when clear Flashing yellow = go, but use caution Flashing green = go with reckless abandon???
Although I have heard a couple of things that such a signal might really mean, it seems pretty useless if only a small percentage of the population could guess.
My memories of the C-64 were not nearly as happy. I had used TRS-80s since before they needed to distinguish between the Model I and anything else. I taught myself Basic and assembly, but I wanted to learn Fortran. Since I didn't have a Fortran compiler, I had to learn by finding examples and writing code out on notebook paper. When I got to high school, I signed up for the computer programming class as soon as I could. They had a PDP-8/L with an ASR33... and Fortran was part of the course. Imagine my surprise when, on the first day of class, the room was full of Commode-Doors and the teacher was happy to inform us that he would be teaching us Basic.
For the most part, his incompetence paid off. It only took a couple minutes to do his assignments, so a couple of use ended up playing with the PDP all class anyway. (The downside of his incompetence was getting an F on an assignment because he did not know there was such a thing as "gosub.")
IIRC we cannot, by treaty, just let the Hubble's orbit decay like Skylab & Mir, we need to do a de-orbit burn and drop it in the Pacific, or some other relatively safe place. The problem was this, is that the Hubble has no rocket engines on board, so we need to send something up there to attach an engine.
That would be a complicated robotic mission, but there is a further complication... Once enough gyros fail, it will start to tumble. That would make a servicing mission near impossible. (you could no longer just grab it.)
So once NASA decides that we need to go anyway, why bother to de-orbit it? Servicing Mission 3B was in 2002, if they can get another 6 years out of SM4 that will get them to 2014. If NASA is serious about replacing the shuttle, they should be able to get another manned craft into low-earth orbit by then, even if it is using an off-the-shelf launch system,
Yesterday my Comcast provided cable modem died. I stopped by the local office after work and exchanged it for a new one.
It did not just plug-and-play with my router, I had to plug it directly into a computer first and run their configuration. So, I plugged it into my powerbook. I expected trouble when the Comcast website came up telling me I would have to download some software, but when I clicked the button, the file it downloaded was actually a mac file--wow.
After unpacking the install program a warning message popped up telling me I needed to use Internet explorer to continue the configuration. It then installed IE 5.something, which promptly froze up and died.
When I read the public print of the bill on thomas it says the Real-ID part has been struck out. I also see where the Real-ID amendment was ruled not germane, and where the proposed amendment was withdrawn in the Senate.
Was Real-ID in the final version of the bill? If so, can someone point me to the language?
First, the James Webb Telescope is an infrared system not a visible-light system like HST.
Second--and this goes to the wider point of repair or replace--In this post-Mir world we have treaty obligations that say we won't boost large chunks of hardware into orbit and let them fall at random. If we are to uphold that treaty, we must send a mission to the HST and install an engine pod to do a controlled de-orbit (HST has no engines). If we need to send a team up there anyway, why not fit it with new gyros and batteries and keep it in service?
Of course, it could only hit something between 28.5 degrees north or south latitude, so it might be hard to convice the current crew in D.C. that this is a treaty we should think about complying with.
The term "Rule 240" refers to a rule that existed before airline deregulation. There is no longer an actual Rule 240. The term, as it is now used, refers to each airlines "conditions of carriage" policy. You would need to contact the airlines to obtain this.

If you control your DNS, you can also blackhole Tynt's servers
Do you really want a bunch of inexperienced divers with no bouyancy control
slamming into natural reefs & kicking up silt?
Aside from being something different to see, wrecks make good training sites for all
sorts of skills.
As an added bonus they have a commercial/tourist value that helps
make providing and improving marine habitat more affordable.
The thing is 100 feet tall, so the top of the structure will start at 40ft. There will be plenty to see without deco stops and tri-mix.

Oh yea... IAAL BNYL
They no doubt will be off most of the time, but a field strenght meter should be able to determine when one is turned on.
Are there other tech solutions?
Cell phones emit RF... can radio direction finding gear be used?

So what do we consider Westford Needles on this scheme. They myst be in the gram range.
