You cannot target a SPECIFIC PERSON by targeting 254 INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE.
The rights of the other 253 outweigh the hypothesized benefit to Law Enforcement.
Remember the 9th Amendment? We have a whole LOT of rights not enumerated in the Constitution, the 4th is just one example of how a specific subset are to be protected.
I'm in favor of the literal reading: Since the Constitution doesn't explicitly grant the power to tap our internet, they don't have it. This is the crux of the 10th Amendment, but it's in stark contrast to the way your Average Federal Employee sees it.
Of course, these egregious violations this will continue unabated, because obedience to The Law isn't for Government Employees, is it?
On that topic, when it comes to mistruths, 1/2 truths and outright fraud, they sent Martha Stewart to prison for less than Bush has done.
I suggest reading a copy of Elizabeth De La Vega's book, United States v. George W. Bush et al. for a further treatment of THAT topic. http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/1583227563
"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, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Well, since sniffing the whole pipe on it's face violates:
"Particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized".
I would say, that once again, the FBI is overstepping it's lawfully delegated powers.
Just like the way Darth Vader was given a Get Out Of Damnation Free Card for saving his son from the Emperor at the last minute, despite the slaughter of entire planets full of people.
Before the Feds stuck their nose in New York had plenty of roads.
And guess what? Without the Feds giving up the dollars, which they probably shouldn't have collected in the first place, New Yorks Roads would still be there. And they would be JUST AS SHITTY.
The only thing we wouldn't have is the Feds hiring Federal Employees to staff the offices, and wasting tax dollars doing it.
1) Federal Constitution. Don't see it as an enumerated, delegated power. 2) Amendments to Federal Constitution. Don't see it as an enumerated, delegated power.
So, WHY is the Federal Government wasting OUR VALUABLE TAX DOLLARS on things not explicitly delegated to them?
We were recently told by $APPLICATION_VENDOR that we would need to replace *all* the 2GHz Celerons w/ 512 MB of memory and Win2K b/c they couldn't run $\.NET_APPLICATION fast enough for production use.
Since 2GHz Win2K boxes w/ 1/2 a gig of memory has been our standard for a few years now, that's a few hundred pc's that'll need replacing... Oh, and what's now available of a replacement O/S on the new machines? Aw shit. XP Pro If I'm Lucky and MS-Windows-Vista if I'm Not.
I was struck by one of the points in "First on the Moon" was that of incremental progress.
EVERY Apollo flight built on the previous one, to a planned goal, which was one hell of a goal.
Now, if they could just set their sights high, like, say, by the end of this decade, landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth, we'd have something to work with.
We'd have wasted 40 years, but hey, at least we'd be doing SOMETHING....
Shit NASA can't get it up every MONTH much less everyday.
Kids aren't interested in Spaceflight b/c NASA has made it pointless. Shuttle flights to resupply the ISS, whose purpose is to be resupplied by the Shuttle?
Your taxdollars at work.
Now, if they were SERIOUS, I wouldn't have a problem, but MORE money for NASA is MORE money *NOT* spent on access to orbit.

What to be searched is described: All of the class C that the suspect can get a DHCP address from."
You left off the word PARTICULARLY.

They don't have the authority to set a National Speed Limit.
If a state doesn't want to comply, they just lose Federal Highway Dollars.
And, with REAL-ID, I'm thinking the "Stick" is "This D/L isn't acceptable for use boarding this plane".
Theories:
1) Your XP was horribly misconfigured.
I'm wondering what perhaps, booting into Knoppix, and seeing what performance exists would tell us.
And perhaps some data, too. What files, from where, start time, end time, filesize, and what system ( XP or Vista )
"Did you even look? Idiot, it *IS* TOS."
What episode of the 79/80 original episodes was THAT monstrosity featured in?

I saw them yesterday, what's your problem?
TOS Style is the way to go. And he likes to think of himself as a geek.
So sad, to see the children wasting their time this way..
Who take care of the Highways?
That's right. The STATE Department of Transportation.
So, it's not done by the feds in the first place...
1) Federal Constitution. Don't see it as an enumerated, delegated power.
2) Amendments to Federal Constitution. Don't see it as an enumerated, delegated power.
So, WHY is the Federal Government wasting OUR VALUABLE TAX DOLLARS on things not explicitly delegated to them?
But hey, Obedience to The Law is all that matters.*
*Excepting the Bush Administration.
Time to get rid of the crutches.
In all fairness, there's more than that. You remembered the whores, but you forgot to mention the pitbulls, crack, and taxi rides...
B/C while we're busy jerking off, I suspect the Chinese Communists are steadily building capabilities.
So... When you get to the moon, as contract/slave labor, you'll be eating chinese food.
Enjoy!

Use roaming profiles and map the My Documents off to a home directory on a Linux box.
Use the tapedrive to back up the linux box.
Using REAL Computers is hard, so that just every idiot can't do it.
The rest of you get a shitty windows box.
Enjoy.

Google "Battery Belt" and knock yourself out.
"You obviously don't understand the restrictions the government places on anyone who receives government funding."
So we spend tax dollars for the express purpose of stifling progress?
How did we ever develop the technology and processes to actually land on the moon and return?
