IANAL but I lived with several law students and helpded many study so I've picked up a few things.
In Camera requires both parties to be present, I have a friend who had to do a lot of research to clarify that.
Ex Parte is where only 1 party is present.
Also, since it appears there are RICO charges involved, standard procedure is to seal the documents until a verdict so as to not impinge the good name of the defendant.
What, no falling sand game or the many variants? The hours I've wasted playing that is hard to think about. Also it was a great CPU stress test, gobbling up pretty much 100% of the CPU
Oh come on, Kirk could so kick that wrinkled old Picard ass. And he'd give that smarmy smile while he did it and probably pick up two hot alien chicks, one that's green and one that's red, just 'cause it was Christmas.
I can't believe no one brought this up yet. Recently some astronomers have been using hubble to look at the middle of galaxies and have discovered Supermassive Black Holes there. In fact, they've found a bunch of 'em, and there's a relationship between the size of the galaxy and the size of the singularity, and every galaxy seems to have one, even our own! And IIRC they figured this would account for the missing stuff. -Peverbian
Okay, first a solution... agree to tell them everything, get a buddy to whack him in the head with a baseball bat, whoops, forgot it all. Then develop independently again. Helps to have a doctor or two you're friends with to diagnose amnesia.
Another thing. This guy developed his idea before his employment at the company A. What happens if he gets another job at company B. Do they then own the rights to his idea that he developed before he worked for company B, and what about Company A? And what if he then quits company B, and develops another new thing, do both companies have claim to it to? Who gets it? Maybe another solution is to get a second job, sign another agreement and quit, after at least 1 pay check of course, otherwise you wouldn't have been employed by them.
Now I'd just like to find a job, period, nevermind the silly agreements. Columbus OH if any of you have room.
I guess that's what they mean by "Variable speed trigger system" I wonder if you could fit your own drill in, modifying the gearing and whatnot to get it faster or such.
I had an experience a while back with a haunted CD-ROM. I was working at a company installing a new CDR into a customer's machine, went through the usual tests, everything worked fine. Open it up, move the jumper on the current CDROM over a notch to make it slave, put the new burner in as master, hook all the cables together,power it up, should be no problem, right? Well, I power it up and the tray on the first drive pops out, so I push it shut, it boots just fine, I put the CD with all the software in the burner, and the tray pops out again. Push it back in. Run the setup on the CDR, tray on the first drive pops out again. I let it sit for a bit because we got busy, but sure enough, as soon as I come back and sit down, the tray pops back out. Eventually we figured out it was the jumper. It was labeled as such

I dunno, I thought it was kinda wierd, and I was kinda scared when the tray popped out the second time.
These have been there a while I thought, I remember seeing them on Toonami on night and proceeding to download them off the website, along with a few other videos from Gorillaz I saw that night. I'm having trouble finding a link to it on Cartoon Network, but I'm sure if you happen to use one of those *cough*filesharing*cough* programs you'll be able to find some decent MPEG versions of these videos. And, FYI, I like all their stuff, old and new, and the fact that they're doing anime videos is just icing on the cake.
I know this proly has been said already, I work in retail currently while attending college, but it seems a lot of companies are getting rid of their 800 number (HP, Compaq, Lexmark) HP going as far as to provide a 90 limited warranty on a $3000 computer, not that I think HP's are bad. I think this is proly because of the number of people asking what this button does, or how to work it. Anyway, there are companies out there you can buy services from Assurant Group( http://www.fwsc.com/ ) and Warrantech( http://www.warrantech.com/cindex.html )
Anyway, that's my $.02

My mother is a clinical social worker, member of NASW (www.nasw.org) and the National Transportation Safety Board (www.ntsb.gov) and has called up pretty much everyone she knows to tell them not to watch it more than a few times a day. Watching it excessively, aside from being addictive, is also a cause for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Yes, you can experience trauma from watching TV.
While I don't think completely tuning it out is the answer, the human brain needs some other kind of input, like a web-comic or a video game, or other television shows that are funny, or exciting, or action packed. Something other than the terrible tragedy that's saturated the news media.
If anyone is feeling depressed or stressed or otherwise in a worrisome mental state, there are clinical social workers who are required by law to see you for free up to 3 times for grief counseling or such. I don't have contact numbers or anything(I'll try to find from my mother when she gets home), but you could try calling the hospital or police station (not 911). They should be able to help you out.
I saw something on TV a while ago about a company that would buy up old parts and melt them down gradually in a kiln for the gold/silver/copper what have you. I guess they made money off of this. I don't have a link to the company, but found this article --

about this sort of thing. Hope it helps.
I am in no way an expert, but the comment about "mean surface temperature" got me thinking. Ever been out in the middle of a parking lot when the sun is out? Ever sat under a tree on a sunny day? I think the ever-expanding human sprawl, which is where most people notice temperature, might have something to do with this whole warming thing. The ammount of pavement and lack of large groups of trees. I also seem to recall seeing a plot of these temperatures over a long time period and it goes up & down all throughout, and that the current worry was that it's climbing faster than normal, i.e. the slope is too high for you math folks. Well, so much for my 2 cents.
Oh, No, Liquid Metal is real! This is the beginning, the movie wasn't fiction, it's really happening. I don't wanna have a spike stuck through my head while drinking some milk!
Actually, Macross Plus was an OVA series, then became a video. Not only that, but it was based off of a real competition to choose a new fighter for the U.S. Airforce. Some Government folks are doing research into brainwave control of vehicles. TLC ran a special with all this in it, thought it was realy cool to see a movie I loved was based off of reality.
I liked this movie and The Mummy, I think they're going in a direction like The Evil Dead & Army of Darkness guys. The first was made seriously then realized that it was kinda funny, so decided to go full bore in that direction. Granted they use computers now instead of stop-motion skeletons, but it's still funny
A really good book/series of books along these lines is by Leo Frakowski. The first is Crosstime Engineer. I think the series is called The Adventures of Conrad Stargard. The series is about a guy, Conrad, who's a polish engineer from the 21st century who accidentally gets warped back to 1241 AD, 10 years before he knows Mongol hordes come and wipe out Poland. Really good read.

Didn't you get the memo? Corporations are legally people.
Clouds don't leak right? I mean, there's no way any sensitive information could make its way out of there on some Root Access Inter-Node something.

"this Southern Indiana's man love", does this mean that there are other Southern Indianas that are looking for a good time?
Single Midwestern State seeks Territory with large panhandle & good looking borders.
Or maybe good ol' Indiana should just hook up with the russian gals.
