The Canadians don't know why, they only know that they are habitual criminals based on their being arrested numerous times and being listed in the NCIC. They paid the fines i.e. admitted guilt and went on their way, this is public admission that the Government's case was valid and they weren't contesting; you can't assert your rights by pleading guilty. For all we know the Canadian Customs and Immigration agent could have thought that they were belligerent lesbian bitches and just used the NCIC entry as an excuse.
The thing is, not everyone who gets arrested normally gets put on that list. Wanna bet, do ya huh, not only is everyone who is arrested of a felony or a serious misdemeanor on the list, but even being fingerprinted gets you on the list, being kidnapped or even sometimes being missing gets you on the list; go check the website they list what's in the database and what isn't. These ladies are habitual, career criminals, of course they are on the list, I admire those ladies, they at least put their asses on the line for a cause they believe in, but that doesn't make them not what they are.
NCIC is a computerized index of criminal justice information (i.e.- criminal record history information, fugitives, stolen properties, missing persons). It is available to Federal, state, and local law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies and is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.... C. Missing Persons:
1. A person of any age who is missing and who is
under proven physical/mental disability or is senile, thereby
subjecting that person or others to personal and immediate danger.
2. A person of any age who is missing under circumstances indicating
that the disappearance was not voluntary.
3. A person of any age who is missing under circumstances indicating
that that person's physical safety may be in danger.
4. A person of any age who is missing after a catastrophe.
5. A person who is missing and declared unemancipated as defined by
the laws of the person's state of residence and does not meet any of
the entry criteria set forth in 1-4 above.
Ann Wright and Medea Benjamin both have extensive records of criminal convictions and arrests. If was really Bush == Satan then both would have been declared habituals and would be doing 5 in the big-house somewhere.
TFA Both Wright and Benjamin plan to request their files from the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act and demand that arrests for peaceful, non-violent actions be expunged from international records. The simple fact is they were arrested, multiple times, their records are in NCIC, and the Canadians choose to restrict entry into their country based on that entry.
Wright has willingly been arrested as part of anti-war demonstrations, the first such arrest occurring in front of the White House on September 26, 2005. Wright has said in interviews of how she does not remove her arrest bracelets, attached to her wrists upon the processing of her arrest, but rather collects them.
Medea Benjamin has more than a laundry list of arrests as well. They flaunt the arrests like a badge on honor, then complain because the Canadians choose not to allow habitual criminals in the country; what if they were abortion clinic protesters in stead?
Comcast isn't targetting p2p they are targeting bandwidth "hogs", it's easy to saturate the up-stream because it's so meager on cable and bittorrent hits the ceiling pretty fast, yet they still are watching the down-stream and tons of down-stream comes from Google, everything from search to gmail with killer attachment to google groups and usenet groups with porn all gets suck down the pipes and thru the intertubes. The wife does a lot of gaming on pogo.com and that has been dropping out lately on her, I'm usually just finishing supper and turning on the computer about "computer prime time", then her game connection starts dropping out and I get blamed because I'm the one that turned on the computer. Of course it has nothing to do with me, but she's a people person and is more comfortable blaming a people than a soulless corporate media conglomerate.
well I got on my computer and bought a Western Digital 1TB hard drive from BestBuy.com and arranged for a store pickup so I could speed up my normal Saturday errands. I got the confirmation sheet and headed to my local Best Buy to pick it up.
I'm assuming that this also meant he arrange payment via the Amex card he had. The employee and assistant manager were more than willing to help, saying that it happens. So they set up the return
I'm assuming that this meant they took possession of the basically empty box, and batched a credit to his CC pending approval of the store manager, definitely not an issued credit, and nobody gives a cash refund for a CC purchase, hell I don't think they even issue cash for a check anywhere
I repurchased (means purchased a second drive that day) the drive and while I was checking the contents to ensure it was a hard drive this time, the store manager came up, took the box from me and said to take it up with the manufacturer.
now he submits that charge-back, and the credit still queued in the system gets canceled and the transaction for the second drive that was purchased goes through and the guy has two transactions that day, and he has charged back one thinking the other was cancelled. Now the store has sold him a box of tiles instead of a hard-drive, the store has "told" him it giving him a credit so he bought a new drive, then the bought the new drive and has a box of tiles, and a used hard-drive which it will re-heat seal and sell as new. Even after the charge-back he's still paid for a hard-drive and physically has none.
The manager probably wouldn't have taken back the second hard-drive unless they intended to re-seal it and put it back on the shelf; because it was purchased, and open it was used. If they can sell a used item as new, if they can play those kind of games with CC's, refunds and chargebacks, how much money could a reasonably intelligent person skim out of the system?
It doesn't, I'm an old fart and have a lot of stuff on vinyl some of it is even dolby encoded. In fact vinyl is inherently compressed because of the typical response curve of magnetic pickups. The sound engineers know how much dynamic range is available to then and if the recording exceeds that, they compress it to fit. Some engineers even take pristine digitaly mastered master and run the analog output through a couple 12AT7 electron tubes to make the music sound less digital and resample to digital. I could tell that there was a difference between tubes, transistors and digital in A/B auditions and I like tubes better but not enough to spend money on.
If that was the intention, then it still need work because unmoderated comments have both under and overrated options. If it did work that way it would be great, also I think it's about time to limit the anonymous coward option to logged in users and if possible to have moderations apply to the user.
That's exactly what I meant, if I was a manufacturer launching a new product with lot's of R&D expense involve you bet I'd want to know whether 2 units were returned 5 times each because some big box manager was skimming or 10 items returned once. Would you want the forums filled with your stuff was junk because some store manager was selling returns as new?
The thing that occurred to me is if the manager of the Best Buy could cancel a refund in progress that easily, their accounting controls really suck ass. The stores must be up to their asses in employee fraud, and there is no way a customer could tell if the units he's taking out the door is new or a return from someone else.
I suspected that de Icaza had a psychotic break when his Ximian and SuSE both got bought by Novell and he stayed. I lived through the Gnome/KDE wars and getting abducted by an UFO and had a alien mind control device inserted via anal probing or psychosis are the only lucid explanations.
The question was, Really was there a law passed that I'm not aware of? Was a treaty ratified by the Senate? your answer was The Geneva Conventions -- we signed on to them which were you referring?
The conventions and their agreements First Geneva Convention "for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field" (first adopted in 1864, last revision in 1949) Second Geneva Convention "for the Amelioration of the Condition of Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked Members of Armed Forces at Sea" (first adopted in 1949, successor of the 1907 Hague Convention X) Third Geneva Convention "relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War" (first adopted in 1929, last revision in 1949) Fourth Geneva Convention "relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War" (first adopted in 1949, based on parts of the 1907 Hague Convention IV)
In addition, there are three additional amendment protocols to the Geneva Convention: Protocol I (1977): Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts. As of 12 January 2007 it had been ratified by 167 countries. Protocol II (1977): Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of Non-International Armed Conflicts. As of 12 January 2007 it had been ratified by 163 countries. Protocol III (2005): Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Adoption of an Additional Distinctive Emblem. As of June 2007 it had been ratified by 17 countries and signed but not yet ratified by an additional 68 countries.
Carla Del Ponte, the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia pointed out in 2001 that although there is no specific treaty ban on the use of depleted uranium projectiles
so again there is nothing; in short I have to assume your just blowing smoke out your ass.
If comcast went on TV and asked it's customers to not use Bittorrent over a certain bandwidth between 7-9 AM and 7-9 PM i'd just program my bitorrent client accordingly; but forging traffic and lying about it is dastardly.
There are picture of these "contraptions" er prototypes all over the site
Billion Degree Breakthrough at Texas A&M In May of 2001, Experiments at Texas A&M University confirmed predictions from Lerner theory that energies above 100 keV (equivalent to 1.1 billion degrees) can be achieved with the plasma focus. This was a big step taken towards environmentally safe, cheap, and unlimited energy.
Seems like if that was bullshit someone would call him on it, rather than invite him over for a Google tech talk; still if it doesn't really work, it's interesting enough to invest $2M in research to prove it one way or the other. One thing is when I watched the animation of how the thing is thought to work I thought that it was what the Star Trek impulse engines would have had to been like if they existed.
Any thoughts on Ron Paul? He's against national health care Well let's see first he's a Doctor, a Medical Doctor, second he's a politician and American Politician; maybe his opposition comes from having a pretty good Idea of what having your Doctor be an employee of the United States Government would be like.
CC is carbon copy and you use it when you want everyone getting a copy to know everyone got a copy so they don't assume confidentiality between the sender, From, and the receiver, To. Bcc means the To and From doesn't know a blind carbon copy was sent a third party and may incorrectly assume confidentiality.

Yeah them were the days, OBTW that naked chick puts out if you got a black eye while being arrested!
NCIC not just for criminals!
Pissing on a tree in public does get you on the sex offenders list on the third offense.

comcast.net search is still powered by google, I wonder if they looked at my search term "comcast [RST]" on the way out?

Even if it does most people will figure that the most likely explanation is the returnee was scamming BB
Makes a good point in favor of RFID chips in equipment don't it, that would protect both parties in situations like this.

I'm not sure I'd go that far, but using KDE in SuSE is much better experience, at leaste before Novell.

your answer was The Geneva Conventions -- we signed on to them
which were you referring?
Well being in a generous mood, even knowing that the Geneva and Hague convention do not cover smoke and flame weapons, I thought that you like the Soviet mistakenly think that the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) but I kept looking I checked List of Schedule 3 substances, Schedule 2 and even Schedule 1 substances but no White Phosphorus.
as for depleted uranium prohibitions so again there is nothing; in short I have to assume your just blowing smoke out your ass.

humm.
Cheney vs. Clinton,
Cheney vs. Obama;
perhaps choosing wisely is none of the above, we're likely to have as much choise as Nixon vs. Humphrey.
God I hope Paul get on the ballot.
