Made in Taiwain has probably become a big deal more recently. But I still have products that came with Republic of China labels on them - enough to confuse a lot of people who don't realise that it is the official name of the country.
The other issue for confusing people is that Taiwan also refers to itself as the Republic of China, wheras mainland China is the Peoples Republic of China. Made in china may well mean either one check the smallprint. The national airline of Taiwan is China Airlines for example.
Vonage uses SIP - there's no patent problem with usng SIP. Howver sprint and verizon want us to believe they invented connecting a sip call to the regular phone network.
Right this is about politicians (most of them) setting priorities for NASA without funding them so NASA has to pick and choose what to fund with the budget it gets.
She "said it was a piece of art," Margolis said, and "refused to answer any more questions." Jake Wark, spokesperson for the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office, said that Simpson only described the LED lights after she was "repeatedly questioned by the MassPort employee." Simpson then "roamed briefly around the terminal," Wark said. Margolis said this caused several Logan employees to flee the building. As Simpson left the building, she disconnected the battery powering the device, according to a press release provided by Wark. (http://www-tech.mit.edu/V127/N40/simpson.html)
I seriously doubt she roamed around the terminal after she was arrested.
No - Go read. There are a ton of news reports that said when asked by the airport staff what it was she replied it was some art she made and walked away.
My last name has a hyphen in it - airline ticketing systems can't do hypens so both words of my last name get stuck together without a space. However this has never caused me a problem at an airport.
Later reports are saying that she did in fact respond by saying it was a piece of art she had made. Earlier reports probably just speculated that she didn't respond.
Believe me if you point a submachine gun at a cop - he's going to say he was attacked with it. Just because it's the other way around doesn't change the nature of it - remember your gun training, don't point it at somebody you don't intend to kill.
The UK does have more miles of government maintained road per head of population than anywhere else in the world which helps to explain the fuel tax a bit.
One remarkable thing with laws in most of the US is that the one piece of the English common law that didn't survive here is the right to resist an unlawful arrest. Seems kind of perverse when you think about it - you can be arrested for no reason and have to just go with it until they decide to release you.
It may be awkward for kerry but this wasn't his doing - he's telling the cops to "leave him alone - let me answer his question" if you watch the video.
The probabilities are highly suspect. I listened to a crime lab tech one morning telling me there was a 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 chance of a false match on this case he was working on.... So being the person that I am I asked how many people were one of a pair of indentical twins.... there goes your probability.
Now I admit the chances of somebody having an identical twin that nobody knows about are slim... but i suspect it's a little more likely than 1 in 1,000,000,000,000.
There are very serious legal questions as to whether current law prohibits casino style gambling over the internet at all. Theres already a appeals court ruling (which the supremes declined to review saying that the wire act only applies to sports betting over the telephone and the new law past last year did not redefine illegal gambling. That's at a federal level anyway.
Many states have taken the view that all gambling is illegal unless specificly authorized by the state - this leads to questions of interstate regulation and the fact that the states are also bound by the WTO treaties. Indeed according to the treaty that established the USA's membership of the WTO, the feds are required to withold all federal funding from states which are not in compliance with the WTO rules.
Wouldn't that be just digging the hole deeper - Antigua is a WTO member and as such the other nations would be violating their treaty obligations if they caved to such pressure.
No - I don't get it - Are we buying coffee or a liquid thats safe to pour down your pants ?
From your own link - Coffee should be kept at 180-190 to preserve optimum taste.
More commentary : A spokesman for the National Coffee Association says McDonald's coffee conforms to industry temperature standards. And a spokesman for Mr. Coffee Inc., the coffee-machine maker, says that if customer complaints are any indication, industry settings may be too low - some customers like it hotter. A spokeswoman for Starbucks Coffee Co. adds, "Coffee is traditionally a hot beverage and is served hot and I would hope that this is an isolated incident."
The ninth circuit is only the most overturned court if you ignore the fact that it also hears more cases than any other federal appeals court. As far as percentages of cases reviewed by the supremes go other circuits are overturned more often. Remember however that the supreme court only hears cases where there is a high probability of the appeals court being overturned, you don't have an automatic right to be heard in the supreme court.

So the assistant district attorney is a liar ? :

Given that this is outside the secure area of the airport you can even carry a gun with you .... why not a homemade electronic device ?

Could be - it seems odd that they acted the way they did.

This story was fairly big in the runup to the 2000 Election - it seems to have mostly disappeared after the fact : In the days before the Nov. 7 election, Republicans feared that Vice President Al Gore might win the Electoral College while Texas Gov. George W. Bush could win the national popular vote.
