Except often it isn't up to the user, but their management.
A previous company I worked for was a Mac shop, despite the fact the bulk of the development was on Windows... so of course they would hand each of the developers a 'top of the line' Macbook which stugleed regardless of if you were running Parallels or Bootcamp to run what we were building.
Whenever I'd point out how the PoS HW (which was always running at 100% fan given the load), I'd be told that every job has 'suck', and that I just need to put up with it.
Partially true, while both Amazon & Microsoft have rather unique needs which sees them often doing their own thing (Azure servers are a few inches wider than a standard rack so that they could fit in another set of hard drives, AWS actually uses some custom built (for them) Intel CPUs which aren't available to the normal market), these changes end up in custom hardware specs which get built by this or that OEM and often lack the OEMs branding.
Their goal with these tweaks is to have hardware that does exactly what they need for their own purposes and gives them as much of a competitive advantage as they can. Sure, they could turn around and make their designs public (ie sell things based on them), but then they risk giving that up.
Stolen valor being non-prosecuted does not make pretending to be a soldier free speech, in fact.
You should perhaps read the rulings in question, as well as the lower court ones as well on the subject... as they actually disagree with your take.
You can be prosecuted if you push it and attempt to use the color of authority where not due
In depends on how you are pushing it, as a number of ways would enter the territory of fraud, things we have existing laws about. Primarily what stolen valor did was criminalize a particular form of cosplay, little different than criminalizing a woman wearing makeup during singles night, or a man lying about his job/income at the same event. Like I said, you should read some of the rulings.
False. While there are laws against libel and slander, as well as the ever fun 'falsely yelling fire in a crowded theater'... many forms of lying are protected, example: http://latimesblogs.latimes.co...
Is it trying to suggest that gendered languages are inferior... or trying to use a shorter and less confusing term than the fairly common 'latino/a' label? Or do you prefer the more verbose "latino/latina" or "latino & latina". God help you if you are ever participant as to which order they should be in.
Imagine that 10 years from now there are 3D printers that print really strong metal parts which can be assembled into a machine gun or similar.
Manufacturing a new machine gun is generally a crime for a civilian (without the proper BATFE blessing) since 1986, just as has it long been illegal to take a hacksaw and saw off the barrel of a shotgun.
How does the inability to prevent one (and it's lack of being a serious problem) mean that the other is destined to happen and become a serious problem?
Also a curious ruling when reminded of the following bit from the wikipedia article on the ruling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Neither the defendants nor their legal counsel appeared at the Supreme Court. A lack of financial support and procedural irregularities prevented counsel from traveling.
The left also want Assault Rifle bans (yes, assault rifles are a real thing.
Except they aren't talking about 'Assault Rifles', or as they are more commonly called... 'machine guns'... which are already heavily regulated.
'Assault Weapons' are the made up term they use today, which encompasses primarily cosmetic features... unless you want to get to the point of cracking down on all semi-automatic handguns... which at last check SCOTUS has ruled a constitutional right to be able to own.
It's got to do with the speed of the bullet and how it tears through flesh leaving a wide hole).
Except the rifles which the left seeks to ban mostly shoot 223... which on average is about half the weight as say... my 270 deer rifle. Both fire a round at about the same speed, however my 270 has about 2x as much muzzle energy.
Take this comparison of a 223 vs 30-06 against a pair of watermelons: the not at all scary looking 'hunting rifle' has far better wide hole leaving abilities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
because valid uses for the service mean it's legal, just like the government can't ban ownership of crowbars
Just because a legal use exists doesn't ignore how it is used illegally, or the proportionality of legal/illegal use.
There are plenty of legal reasons to have a hidden compartment in your car... you know, to store valuables when you are away from your vehicle... of course, if the police find out you build them or have one, you may be headed to jail for assisting the drug trade: https://www.wired.com/2013/03/...
they can't beat him for offering services that hundreds of other companies offer.
Plenty of people own apartment buildings, some of those building have illegal activity occurring in/around it. Some owners ignore it... those owners too are risking losing what they have by being complicit in the activities.
Snowden was pretty certain from the start that the feds would be after him just as soon as the leaks came out and they put 2 & 2 together to figure out it was him, so make haste to get out as quick as he could.
Should Kim have known from the start that eventually the feds were going to come from him? Or did he think his operation would be small enough/off the radar enough to avoid the risk of extradition?
He would need to leave the country to do that... and I imagine given his current state, the Kiwi authorities probably would prevent him from getting on an airplane.
Sure, he could take a boat... though that's a ~1300 mile trip and there isn't all that much passenger traffic back and forth.
Use taxes are very common... though not often paid.
Here in WA we have places that have a 10% sales tax rate, and it is not uncommon for people to take a drive down to Portland for some big purchases, were there is no sales tax.
Hell, a neighbor of mine used to have their cars registered there to avoid WA taxes.
Its certainly possible it could happen, but what incentive would Amazon actually have to do so? That would represent a cost to them for no gain, vs using their existing sales tax calculating and remittance systems.
In the odd event phone and fax orders make a big comeback, I'm sure a state would seek to tax it like SD did here... and I'm sure SCOTUS would follow the precident they set here.
What % on out of state purchases do you think involve ordering over the phone vs internet?
The same issue exists for physically buying in a lower tax state then bringing it to another, in all such cases the buyer is supposed to report the sale and pay a use tax... which almost never happens.
Nobody in the US loses their kids over a misdemeanor.
No? If you are arrested for something and cannot make bail, either because you cannot afford it, or perhaps because you are denied it because you are deemed a flight risk... then yes, you are not going to have physical custody of your kids for a while. In the case of someone who is unlawfully in a country and has residency (and presumably other ties elsewhere), the odds of being a flight risk are increased.
If you run a red light, you don't have your kids put in a "Tender Age" prison.
Most runnings of red lights aren't misdemeanors, they are civil infractions. Granted if you blow through the light, while drunk and/or being chased by the cops... then yes, your kids will be taken from you as well.
I'm not a religious person... and I'm guessing you aren't either. The difference, is I'm not trying to use my out of date and incomplete understanding of other peoples religions to try to guilt trip them into things which I want.
Your facts are wrong though, you may want to look up, remember:
Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's
I do, I did pay some attention in CCD. Unlike say... Islam, most of the original teachings of Christianity are not based around political ideas, instead recognizing the authority of a secular government.
Given the successes the feds & some private companies have had taking over illicit sites or botnets... I'm just waiting for it to be revealed that one or more of the popular VPN providers has been keeping more data than is known, and suddenly instead of a single C&D for what they happened to catch you doing last month... you get a dozen (along with a settlement offer to avoid an even more expensive lawsuit) for everything that you grabbed over the last several years.
Unless you fully control the other end, all a VPN does is give permission to a 3rd party to monitor your traffic.
When someone is accused of a murder, the police tend to search quite deep. You don't think they or a reporter would notice an NRA membership card, cap or sticker somewhere?
Florida, like quite a few states will issue a concealed weapon permit to non-residents. Why would someone want one? Because a Florida permit is honored in 31 states, plus, it can be applied for via the mail... so no driving required, of course, I don't believe Illinois or Maryland honor permits from any other states, making such an application moot there.
The truly loony part of your statement, is the claim that someone would just get a permit in Florida so they could go back to their home city and shoot someone. Dirty little secret is that people licensed to carry have astronomically low rates of doing such things illegally compared the rest of the population... and it's not all that surprising, is it? Losing a permit is pretty easy for lawbreaking.
2) Because of the expectation that there will be later checks, and default proceed attitude also coming from the NICS system, where if the FBI can't make a determination after 3 days, the seller may proceed with the transfer at their own discretion.
More to the point, why wasn't the system constructed in such a way that it is impossible for a bureaucrat to approve an application and issue a CCW permit without first completing a background check?
Two reasons I would imagine:
1) Background checks for CCW/CPLs are rarely a one time thing, ditto with BC related to employment, as you could have a bad thing show up on your record a month, a year, or three after the initial one.
2) Because of the expectation that there will be later checks, and default proceed attitude also coming from the NICS system, where if the FBI can't make a determination after 3 days, the seller
Two may sound crazy, but ask yourself: Should ones exercise of a specifically enumerated constitutional right be dependent upon the government working fast & efficiently?
That and the queue of angry NRA members waiting on their CCW licenses should provide a sufficient motivation to resolve any login issues post haste.
"angry NRA members"? Remind me... how many people have NRA members killed over the last year?... or decade? Sure they might use harsh tones at times, but they tend to be a pretty non-violent group. Despite all of the rhetoric, CPL holders tend to be far less violent than the average member of the surrounding population: https://www.ammoland.com/2018/...
How does it not make sense? People with large amounts of disposable money have been buying tickets to ISS for years, and before that Mir... and that largley through the so recently communist Russian's eager to take their money.
Given the delays in full on use of Falcon Heavy, is it really so surprising that they would delay manned use? Let alone tourist use?

i am typing this from a less than great Dell laptop RDPed into a much more beefy desktop on which I do the bulk of my heavy lifting.
At previous jobs my laptops were used 90% of the time to RDP and work on a heavier weight desktop to run my VMs & development environment.

Your response to a list of examples as to why something would be is... "not it isn't?" Truly you have won this conversation.
Why don't you try citing something, or even an example... rather than "no it isn't!"
Some, not all.
Simply unlawfully entering is: https://www.law.cornell.edu/us...
However returning after already being removed is not: https://www.law.cornell.edu/us...
It could even be argued that two parents attempting to illegally bring their child in are commuting a felony: https://www.law.cornell.edu/us...
Notice what I'm doing... providing citations and examples? You should perhaps try a similar thing.
No? If you are arrested for something and cannot make bail, either because you cannot afford it, or perhaps because you are denied it because you are deemed a flight risk... then yes, you are not going to have physical custody of your kids for a while.
