There is no reason any person cannot draft and file their own misdemeanor complaint.
The court clerks might not know they're supposed to to take it, but in New York, a letter to the supervisiong judges office explaining the hang up usually results in a short reply of "Your filing will be accepted."
NOW, will the DA "Decline to Prosecute?"... Maybe... But firing that first shot across the bows is well within anyones reach.
I'm curious: do fellow Slashdotters find these programs helpful versus other ways of keeping track of snippets of information, such as e-mail?
I've been cramming everything into a local TWiki installation. I dunno if I'll still be enthusiastic about it in a year, but so far, the free form context development and fulltext searching seem to work together well.
Simple fix. Tin-foil wallet, and refuse to provide ID to anyone until you have inspected, and recorded the information on theirs, first.
This is important to prevent IDENTY THEFT, and make sure the person requesting the ID is actually AUTHORIZED to use it. Oh, and if you wanna scan the magstripe into your POS terminal to prove that you're permitted to sell me booze, you'll have to fill out this NON-DISCLOSURE and USE AND AUDTITING AGREEMENT, first.
NASA did the job once, but since then they've done nothing but screw shit up.
It's time for Congress to get off their asses and ACT. Jerry Pournelle came up with the idea, which would get us a complete spaceflight system in five years, and only cost 10 Billion Dollars.
How?
Congress must pass TWO lines of legislation.
1) It is in the National Interest of the United States to have a mature spaceflight technology.
2) The Tresurer of The United States is directed to pay, tax free, the sum of TEN BILLION DOLLARS to the first American Company to keep thirty Americans alive and well on the surface of the moon for Three Years and A Day.
That's it folks. If we ain't got it, it's cause BUSH and Co don't want us to have it.
( Not that Klin-ton wanted us to have it, either, though... This idea ain't new. )
All we lack is the will to achieve great things. Killing kids over lies, that we can do. "Supporting Our Troops", check.
Pass TWO LINES of legislation to ensure AMERICANS have a stake in The Future? Nah...
"If you were to start building one new replacement it would take a long time and cost big bucks."
Ten Billion Dollars, and TWO lines of legislation, according to Jerry Pournelle.
All Congress needs to do is pass a law:
1) It is in the National Interest to develop spaceflight capabilities.
2) The Tresurer is directed to pay 10 Billion Dollars, Tax Free to the first American Company to keep 31 Americans alive and well on the surface of the moon for three years and a day.
The gate agent should've just told him it was an airline policy (which it probably is). Nothing wrong with that.
Though I should tell you, I really don't give a fuck if the guy trying to hijack the plane I'm flying on has an ID or not.
Free Men do not follow POLICIES. They follow their own good judgement. ompany in question doesn't want a LICENSE from The State to conduct COMMERCE, then they may expect to ignore the RIGHTS OF FREE MEN.
a) to make sure cashiers don't mess up like the grandparent mentioned b) to make sure people aren't shoplifting c) to provide a visible deterrant for shoplifters
That's all B.S. It's *ALL* so that the cashiers can't just fake scan all their friends carts.
Your store has a problem with it's Employees stealing, that's YOUR PROBLEM. Don't get in my way, cause I'm just going AND IF YOU TOUCH ME, as in don't get out of my way, YOU HAVE COMMITTED AN ASSAULT, and *I* will *IMMEDIETLY* arrest 'em...

Since the technical skills of the american workforce... Nah.. Lemme start over...
Since the American Technical Workforce doesn't exist, we couldn't even develop the machining to build something like that.
Professionals don't use morse code.
Amateurs do.
Very, Very Proficient Amateurs.
4 BILLION dollars.
Whoa...
I suspect the article is about newly created copies.
It is a mitzvah to copy...
Apparently, IIRC the town happens to be the home of the MAKER of the fingerprint scanners.
Seems to me that this is nothing but a Vendor looking for some FREE BUZZ.
Of course, if what you vend is EVIL....
Congress declared War? I must have missed the vote.
We didn't have seatbelts...
NOW we have seatbelt laws...
EVERYTHING is corrupted to deprive us of our birthright of Freedom.

I've started cramming anything I come across into a local TWiki installation.
Seems to work well. Handles Text, HTML, attached files.
CONTEXT is developed as you add stuff, *and* it has full text searching.
I don't know if I'll still be enthusiastic about it in another year, but I've got a good feeling about this.
Yes, but how many sales did he miss because of all the time I took up? I can't change EVERYTHING, but I can toss a little sand into the bearings...
Sometimes, that's enough.

I love the 21st Century!
Clit. They're called clits.
I would very much like to see his evidence for that hypothesis.
Nope. That's REVISIONIST HISTORY.
First Contact is not canonical.
Braga's an idiot.
I should stop now. I've said too much.
How is it that a guy from Alpha Centauri could do that on Earth?
Sounds to me like someone's lying.
Jesus ain't down with that...
I use the "Bandersnatch" component to archive all Jabber IM traffic ( Our companies mandated IM protocol ) to a mysql "database".
That's NASA thinking, son.

A SCSI Controller, DAT or QIC drive, a copy of Lone-tar, and a bunch of tapes.
Aside from needing to spend some money, what's the problem?

"Which leads back to my original question, when was the Urey-Miller experiment not relevant?"
Aren't you basing your assumption that is was called "not relevent" on a press release, rather than the study itself?
Do you have a citation from the study which indicated the relative interest in the hypothesis?
"All the direct evidence we have of the early Earth's atmosphere is that it has always been oxygenating, not reducing."
I call 'Bullshit'.
Citation's Please.
Thanks.
XFCE. Feh!
Ratpoison, now THAT's a window manager...
