No one that counts recognizes Sealand's sovereignty. It is within the UK's territorial waters, it belongs to the UK.
Sealand is best described as an unrecognized sovereign territory.
(Not saying you are one, but) I don't understand the people that think Sealand is some magical law-free zone. If the US administration decided to take down WikiLeaks servers on Sealand it would play out one of two ways: Option 1: Obama: Hey Dave, is this 'Sealand' place part of your country? Cameron: Yes. We've let them goof off and pretend like they are a country, but they are really part of the UK. Obama: Great. Can you go seize all the WikiLeaks servers from there for us. I'd really appreciate it - and you know blah-blah treaties and whatnot. Cameron: No problem. Consider it done.
Option 2: Obama: Hey Dave, is this 'Sealand' place part of your country? Cameron: No. We let them break off a while back. We've learned its best to let places do that when they want to leave the empire. (chuckle) Obama: OK. It's too bad we don't have a giant navy or I could take care of this myself then. (chuckle) (click) (hits speed dial button for Pentagon)
Assuming her lawyers fail to get the judges order reversed, or convince the judge she really can't comply, she just needs to decide whether the potential penalties of her alleged crimes (and whatever increased likelihood of conviction the data would cause) outweighs the time the judge is going to put her in jail for contempt. The article says bank fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering -- so forgetting sounds like a good idea.
The multiverse theory, as I have always understood it, posits that for every possible "choice", universes are created to express each on the possibilities, or "choices".
Here's how you can test that theory. It's the Schrödinger's cat experiment, except YOU are the cat. If there are multiple universes where each possible outcome occurs, then now half of them have you alive and half have you dead. Of course, *you* will only perceive the alive half. Repeat until you reach your desired level of certainty. Of course, that doesn't really prove much for most copies of the rest of us, since we'll all mainly be in universes where you are quite dead.

I think any microscope should work for children. You just need to make sure you slice the children thin enough to fit between the glass slide plates.

I'm sure Rule 34 applies here, but I'm afraid to Google it find out. I'd like to keep my childhood memories of Interplanetary Janet untainted.
5. Switch to a xylophone-based IP network. At least then you'll be able to hear the network connection change tune if they hack into it.

Wherever it hits, those are the people that God hates most. End of debate.
I'm picturing a very old Fred Phelps holding up a sign that says "God hates fish!".

I say we grind them up mix them into a gel. Once we invent a portal gun, that should come in very handy. Although it'll probably be pure poison.
And with 3D it was "Dances with Giant Smurfs: 3D" plus a headache.
Be careful what you wish for.
Anybody caught making a Frickin' Sharks joke will be permanently labeled a virgin.
If that happens, can I have all that child support I've paid refunded?
woosh..... It was a joke. The joke being marriage=abstinence.
I'm with Lauren in thinking even the Scottish shouldn't be allowed to teach an English class:

Why do you think marriage would protect you from getting AIDS?
Because abstinence is always effective.
You CAN be severely injured by a lightning strike from a clear sky.
Hmm, let me check my list:
S444.11 Smote - Fire, Pillar from sky
S444.12 Smote - Fire, Spontaneous Combustion
S444.2 Smote - Salt, Transformation into pillar
S444.3 Smote - Lightning
Ahh, there it is.
There are easier ways to see pictures of naked hippies.
But not without getting closer to them.
In space, no one can... smell that you haven't bathed in a month.
...body to science..but be sure that not some Monsanto makes a shitload of money from it by patenting the shit out of my dead body.
Damn. There goes their plans to make "Plants vs. Zombies" into a reality TV show.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.

How is this "huge?" What the hell are you going to do with it?
That's what she said. Or maybe it was a he -- I'm confused now.
Patches O'Houlihan agrees.
Yeah, but those crappy Voyager clocks are always running a few milliseconds slow.
Settle down. This is slashdot. If an emergency needs his immediate attention, his mom will just come downstairs and wake him up.
