I've never had it happen to me, but if an employer tried to stiff me out of honest pay that I had worked for, I'd always imagined I'd take'em to court for it if it added up to so much as an hours pay. Just because of the principal that I didn't set out to work for free, and trying to stiff me on the paycheck equates (in my mind) to slavery by false pretenses.
Actually I believe George Carlin summed up the superceding foreign policy quite well: If your country has a lot of brown people in it, WATCH THE FUCK OUT!

First, many countries will not extradite their own citizens.
Second, according to this UN extradition page and the linked PDF morocc.pdf, there is only a treaty for narcotics crimes, terrorism, and "organized crime".
Long story short, so long as the letter of the law has you down, the best route is to change the letter of the law. Whilst minor fixes here and there can suffice in the short run, I've long wondered if there are any moral/philosophical arguments against copyright (communist "Property is theft" notwithstanding) as a whole. Lately, the practical nature of it as a boon for innovation has been falling short and shown to be a bane in certain instances, but there really ought to be a general argument against the entire concept.

"It" was called "the SPACE race" where? Don't blame me because some yahoo can't distinguish between 1960's lingo and [b]the article that he is talking about right now[/b].
"The Americans won the first race, but the Russians might beat them back to the moon."
Who won?
Sorry, what's your problem? Are you ACTUALLY Russian and having trouble with the english language, or are you purposely being an idiot and not recognizing that the race to the fucking moon is what's being discussed? Cause you know, it pretty much says it within the sentence you quoted.
Nobody denies the Russians props for getting a lot of firsts in space, but nobody lists how many people beat Christopher Columbus to getting a boat into the Atlantic Ocean.
That story was fucking awsome. I came to the point where nearing the end, I would scroll down carefully, line by line, so that the last two lines seriously (I mean "HO SHIT!" jumpy) suprised me.
When the plane is under his control much like his own hand is, it's not like he can't keep his hand from slipping down into his boxers. A mind wandering would just result in loosening whatever control he has on the plane, which wouldn't result in much.
Long ago in the time of yore (does that work?), I signed up for PacBell DSL and ended up shelling an extra $150 or so on the spot to buy the DSL modem. Some three or four months later they came out with a promotional offer of free installation and free DSL modem rental if you sign up for a 2 year service contract. Lo and behold, after some difficulties in getting the DSL to work at all after a month pause on the service, I called up to cancel so I could switch to cable. The first thing the rep told me without even knowing who I was or what my account number is or anything AT ALL: "You can't cancel because of the two year contract you've signed with us." That was funny. Told her what's up, she goes "Oh... ok."

How does Enron figure in to your crime prevention scenario?

I don't suppose it helps him any, in your eyes, that minors were sometimes miners back then, does it?
I know god wanted us to eat them otherwise he wouldn't have made them taste so good.
:)
I could say the same thing about people, though.
I'm just against STUPID musicians that whine and complain.
Just a heads up: You're two out of three, and I'd need to meet you to see if you're stupid or not.

I think he's pretty safe.
Send Brisco County, Jr. after his ass, then.
You know how it goes.

I'm just too lazy to develop one.
It was called the SPACE Race, not the MOON Race.

News while taking a shit has got to be as old as newspapers. The advent of cheap, daily newspapers definitely popularized it.
Slashdot is a news service.
That's pretty much all there is to it.
How would a magnetic rail be better/worse to do this with?
Replace "stuffed bear" with "stuffed Tigger" and I'll give you anything you want.
they can't block the entire range of eastern european countries from sending sms to their networks
Yes they can.
I dont think its ethical to buy the comptisions products so you can get your half assed player out there
What is half assed about it?
I don't really know anything about Dell's product, but I just wanted you to know that you're giving the impression that you know as much as I do.
You overlook a significant advantage of metric; weights and measures have a direct relationship.
I can tell you that a litre of water weighs 1kg.
Yes but how long is it?
But what about people wrongly arrested?
But what about people wrongly convicted?

Thank you for that.
Seems like a good time to be a crook or an insurance company.

Ok, just send out a little note to my students that I'm gonna be gone on monday and...
