I didn't visit the library one single time in 2007.. and the same goes for 2006. Hell I haven't stepped foot in a library since college. Me neither, but only because I owe them a lot of money.
A very good point. My problem at this point is that it seems one of them did it while the other one was at least present, and at most cheering the former on. We don't know which is which, but they're both somehow guilty of the same crime. Nothing that a good, old fashioned interrogation couldn't hash out. I just think it's dumb to charge everyone with something that one person did just because you can't pin down who it was. Of course if waving lasers around at the sky is illegal, by all means nab em both. I don't know.
It appears they were, basically... From the article:
Snow told investigating agents that she and Dooley were standing in the driveway on November 8 and "taking turns shining the laser around watching the tracers in the sky." Now, there's no way to know which one of them actually hit the chopper with it, so how can you really charge either of them for that? Of course, I'm sure they'll come up with something to charge them for (reckless discharge of a small light?).
A cell phone may or may not otherwise work in a given building. But you're right, it's really about jamming frequencies and disrupting service outside your own space. If you want to block phones, you could turn your restaurant into a faraday cage. I'm sure plenty of people would have a problem with that too, but it's a lot less messy than actively jamming. I was just saying it's difficult to tell if someone is purposefully keeping your phone from working unless you already have that suspicion.
911 calls were the first thing I thought of, too. Any business owner who jams a call about somebody having a heart attack would be sued into oblivion, and deserve it. Possibly, if they had any idea the phone was jammed. If their phone simply doesn't work in an establishment, can they sue the owner? Most places have a land line anyway that they'd be happy to let you use for emergencies.
... apprehended 35 years after escaping prison by a computer database created by the Department of Homeland Security. This database is so powerful it actually apprehended the woman!
Yeah, 15 years is a big stretch, even though wasn't referring to actually getting "there" by then. However, back to calculations it is a ridiculous amount of time, particularly from our perspective, to travel through interstellar space (that we know quite little about). For some reason I was thinking we could build something a great deal faster. Maybe that's what we should hope for in the next 50 years.
A probe mission to the Alpha Centauri system. It's doable in pretty reasonable time with current technology. It would be cool to send 3 probes (one to each star), even equip each with a lander should they discover a decent planet to explore. We could have some really interesting data back within 15 years and do plenty of new science along the way.
The guy clearly did prevent, obstruct and/or delay the officer's performance Even this is arguable. It seems he was quite cordial to the officer and obeyed when told to stand against the wall to be searched. The matter had pretty much been resolved at this point, and the request for his license wasn't necessary for the official business.

Thanks, but I'm way ahead of you on this one.
Besides, we really only care about life that's similar enough to us that we can eat it.

Horde FTW!
But they only lost 130,000 bucks...
OH
...if you're editing Java, you're doing it wrong to begin with.
Fixed that for you.
That just seems like a lot to pay for a buggy animation of a laptop.

6. Profit!
If it places ads based on the conversation and they find the ads actually change the conversation, I'd say the original concept isn't working so well.
Just don't pay the subscription fee.

As long as they stay off my lawn!
You spent them in a different tree.
I think you meant "Nie over..."
