I was discussing this recent line of discussions about brain size and intelligence. From my recollection the Math department at my school had the highest concentrations of big headed people. There were several I had in my diff eq and analysis lectures that at first glance you would say were borderline hydrocephalic. Obviously they weren't, but they did have some big noggins.
Who has turned into a miserable chick flick. While Piper is cute enough, I really don't need a Sci-Fi Gimore Girls or Dawson Creek.
Not to mention the weak attempt at social commentary, "No Doctor, don't kill the Dalek, then you'll be just as evil as he is", or the constant references to the UN as if it were a legitimate institution.
Bottom Line: Eccelston is very good, Piper is cute, the chemistry is good, but the writing is way too estrogen infused.
A couple of issues. First remember that the FBI does searches for reasons other than criminal prosecutions. They may be interested in stopping you from building that bomb, or finishing that batch of smallpox. Their goal isn't to convict you, but to disrupt your activities.
Second. You can sue for anything. The question is, would you win? No. One of the defenses for "Trespass to Land and Chattel" is "public necessity".
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause
Note it does not say a warrant is required for a search, only that unreasonable searches shall not occur. We now use the exclusionary rule to handle this.
Futhermore, warrants developed not to allow authorities to search your home, but rather to provide a shield of of immunity from something like a tort suit by ther searchee against the searchor.
If you want to learn more, Posner has provided insightful commentary on this issue.
Fine, we'll all concede that hundreds of millions of years ago there was some sort of protobacteria on Mars. Big woop. Can we stop wasting money on it now?
The fact remains that it's a big dead rock. There's a big dead rock a lot closer and we stopped visiting that one because we realized there really wasn't any point in it.
Get over your Star Trek fantasies and beam back down here to Earth 2005.
A heart with MOM on your bicep, or the ubiquitous butterfly on the ankle is one thing, but when I see some of the intentional self-disfigurement all too common I think, damn there's a person with some serious self-esteem issues. What would posses you to mutilate your own face with a bunch of metal implants and grafitti? It's really sad.
Any poker player will tell you bluffing is where it's at. Without bluffing you play the odds and it just becomes a simple game of chance. The bluffing algorithms are were the interesting work will be.
Say some intern at Adobe or Macromedia snuck the cd over to his desk and copied it. Apple can track it down, but what are the going to do? Jobs can yell and scream, but he can't cut a company like that off, Apple needs them.
two of which are very big loud & public successes (in NASA-land anyway)
It should be referred to as the NASA, just like the CIA, the FDA, or the IRS. It is a government agency, not a private enterprise allowed to do its own bidding. It really appears as though many in the organization feel that the NASA exists for their sake, not to carry out the orders of Congress.

$1299 for an iMac...
A more powerful Dell is $400.
Dimension 3000
So you can get 3 Dells for the price of the Mac.
I'd hardly call the Mac "price competitive"

Take a look at the 4th Ammendment:

Search google. There are some poeple who are so wacked out and self-loathing that they actually chop off digits.
