If they're not charged with anything, it's usually zero to minimal interference with their activities. If they're charged, they can demand speedy trials. American defendands have that right but rarely exercise it. I've heard an attorney say that they rarely do because it rarely works to their advantage. Many of the delays are actually caused by defendants and their lawyers.
Read the opinion, not the press release. Section B concerns the 4th Amendment and states that stops must be based on reasonable suspicion. Section C concerns the fact that race was substituted for reasonable suspicion.
I'm reading the same abstract you are. The abstract is very unclear and badly written.
"On the basis of published Magnetic Resonance Images and the values of the specific fetal and amniotic fluid weights, apparent weight of the fetus from the 18th week of gestation until term was determined. Up to the 21-22nd gestation week the fetus is in conditions similar to neutral floating, while after the 26th gestation week the apparent weight of the fetus is 60-80% of the actual weight. Decreased effect of the buoyant forces that affect the fetus in human species during the last trimester has a number of implications for the colonization of the solar system. During space flight it is impossible to apply the existing countermeasures against microgravity deconditioning of the muscular and cardiovascular systems to the fetus. Absence of gravitational loading during the last trimester of gestation would cause hypotrophy of the spinal extensors and lower extremities muscles, reduction in the amount of myosin heavy chain type I in the extensor muscles of the trunk and legs, hypoplasy and osteopeny of the vertebras and lower extremities long bones, and hypotrophy of the left ventricle of the heart muscle. Because of decreased capacity of postural and locomotor stability, acquisition of the gross developmental milestones such as sitting, standing and walking could be delayed. In the authors' opinion, only artificial gravity (rotating platform) during space flight will allow physiological development of the human fetus. Independency of offspring's of the guinea pig as regards locomotion and nursing increases probability of successful breeding in microgravity compared with rat offspring's, and make this species a candidate for future experiments under conditions of microgravity and hypergravity. Examining the gestation of this species in different gravities requires first the experimental determination of the amount of buoyant force to which the fetus is exposed in physiological conditions."
What species of was measured with MRI and under what conditions? I know it wasn't people in fractional gravity because there is no MRI machine in space big enough to scan a human, nor were there any other large animals in space in decades. What I see here is barely any data, taken on unstated animals in unstated conditions and then a whole lot of speculation -- presented as fact -- that doesn't follow from anything they have shown. I guess you're in good company. These guys got published even though their abstract is shit.
Fetuses don't work against gravity to move their bodies. There's a pressure gradient to be felt across their bodies, but it's small as a consequence of their bodies being small. You have absolutely no data showing that in-utero animal development is affected by gravity. Yet you feel qualified to extrapolate from that zero data to a conclusion that humans can't (or probably can't) reproduce on Mars.
You say I'm in denial, but you're obviously presenting baseless speculations as if they were established facts.
Here's a fact for you: no large animal species has ever been observed during pregnancy in any gravity environment except Earth's.
The problems with dark matter are on the "what is it" side. We can tell that it exists. What we can't tell is whether it's an effect of some particle we already know about or something else. Maybe it's extremely decelerated (barely moving) neutrinos left over from the condensation of matter in the big bang. That's presuming neutrinos have mass. Because if they're just about anything else that is known to exist, they'd be easier to observe.
Or maybe it's that gravity ain't what we think it is. Maybe it's NOT QUITE inverse-square, but the difference only becomes observable at interstellar distances.
There would be no point until you had an established colony capable of raising them. If the colony is thriving, it would be advantageous because it would increase the genetic diversity of the population, which in the long term increases the viability of the colony. But there would also be an advantage is allowing natural selection to enhance the frequency of alleles that prove adaptive in the Martian environment. Different genes might prove adaptive to microgravity.
The OP is probably referring to the fact that conception and gestation are likely impossible on Mars due to it's low gravity.
That's not a fact. That's unfounded speculation.
Not exactly: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15607544. The premise of the study is logical: to stave off the effects of low gravity, martians need to rigorously exercise. Constantly. Fetuses cannot do that. The need to exercise will increase dramatically during developmental phases. That is, in utero and childhood.
Of course, there have been no experiments that confirm these observations but we are choosing between 2 contrasting speculations:
(a) that despite our observations of the effects on post development adults, developing humans will be unaffected by low gravity or
(b) based on our observations of the effects on adults, developing humans will also be affected, severely and detrimentally, more so if the cannot be made to exercise.
Out of those speculations, we should pick the one that is logical.
Fetuse in flotation, which is pretty much the same as zero G except for the resistance provided by the aqueous medium. There is no reason to expect that the minute differences would affect fetuses.
There's also no logic in either of your false choices. First, because there are no observations of effects of fractional gravity on adults and because there could be effects is not the same as there would be severe and detrimental effects.
It would be interesting to see what they are finding -- in a meta-metadata sort of way. How many degrees of separation between the average person and a known or suspected terrorist? Are there dense networks of association? How many degrees of separation do you have to go out before a terrorist's association look like everyone else's? One? Three?
Snooping is not interference. You still get your messages. It's just that the government knows what you're doing. The US 4th Amendment is stronger, but it's ignored.
Only the outside of the envelope. They can't see contents unless they open the envelope, which requires a warrant. They can't retroactively open your letter once it has been delivered. If you want to encrypt the contents, you can do that too, but you can't encrypt the routing information.
With encrypted email, the header is unencrypted because it's needed for routing, so the government can record every entire message that passes through a cooperating server. With encrypted email, you could copy every message that passes through a server and decide later which ones you want to try and decrypt.
If you want to add real anonymity, you can use anonymous email accounts. But that's thin security. A government really interested in who's getting and sending anonymous emails can figure it out by tracing packet routing.
For harder-to-crack anonymity, you can upload encrypted files anonymously to a server and download all the messages periodically. Whichever ones you can decrypt with your keys are addressed to you. It's very inefficient, but there's no way to figure out who got your messages without either seizing your computer or hacking it. They can still identify who sent it and what set or receivers might have gotten it by tracing packets.

1. The child will be unable to travel to Earth, because the higher gravity of earth will kill him or her.
More speculation. There's no data on which to base that conclusion. No person have ever been in gravity between 0 m/s2 and 9.8 m/s2 for more than a few days.
2. If the child is part of this group then it will die of starvation or whatever, just as they will, except of course, they chose to die, and the child didn't. It's an ethical minefield.
That's pretty likely.
Mars will be in a very disadvantageous position WRT to Earth. They will lack power, industrial skills, economies of scale freedom of movement, everything that goes to making a society prosperous. Mars has nothing the Earth dwellers want or need, and craves the things the Earth can provide.... Mars lacks the water and sunlight to be competitive or even self sufficient agriculturally, it lacks the power, and likely, the metals needed for industrialisation, it cannot support a population large enough for a diversified economy. Mars will be a ghetto. Unemployment and crime will be rampant.
Yup. That's pretty much the case, as i said. You lose the encrypted documents. Generally people don't use it to encrypt day-to-day communitcations. Many people here confuse security and privacy (especially from the government). While our id card system is extremely good and easy for security, its no good for privacy from the governement.
If i exchanged documents with someone that i want to hide from big brother, i would use PGP. But for legal communications with other individuals or businesses or government, i use the id card system.
All my communications are legal, but I don't want to share all of them with the government.
Damn right it does. The problem is there are a lot of these copiers already in use and we don't know how long the defects pointed out have been in Xerox machines.
The potential for damage with this kind of error almost can't be overstated. Besides errors in billing, construction, manufacture or products, medicine dosages, etc. already outlined, there are other likely problems:
Publications may contain wrong data.
Scientific conclusions may be based on wrong data.
Government policy may be based on wrong data.
Money may go to wrong accounts or be taken from wrong accounts.
You think you paid your taxes? The government may not agree.
If there's no way to get the private key out of the card, there's no way to read anything encrypted with your public key when you lose or destroy the card.
Upside -- you can destroy the card, rendering all private communications to you unreadable.
Downside -- same thing.
Not entirely. They're acceptable for blocking access by random snoopers. It would be good enough to protect you from everybody except the Estonian government. So for instance thieves -- most peoples' main worry -- wouldn't be able to read your mail.
it is already being rigged... theres no difference between now and a digital version, except that if we can all vote from our houses, the voter turnout would be much much higher.

You're assuming the injuries were unintentional. Maybe they were just a way of taking out the competition.
