Or perhaps Sprouticus discovered *after the trial* that the guy was guilty.
That could be the case. As screwed up as it is, though, if the prosecution can't prove that a guilty person is guilty during his trial, the jury shouldn't find him guilty. The goal behind the trial is (ideally) objective truth, but the only way to demonstrate objective truth is with hard indisputable facts.
You might be technically correct in that the constitution is about the government (not just federal, by the way), but when it forbids the government from abridging a freedom, that's a protection to individuals.
You're certainly right that they can be interpreted as protections, and they are increasingly seen that way by both the citizens and the courts. I just always cringe when I see the Bill of Rights or the Constitution described as granting rights (or protections, which isn't the same and is more accurate, but still troubling in a way).
I'm disappointed to see that the constitution is increasingly used to define the government's power as default-allow instead of default-deny. Anytime it is used to describe the rights of citizens instead of the granted powers and boundaries of government, I feel that we get closer to default-allow.
(And it's interpreted as applying to all lower levels of government, by the way.)
Probably, he felt like the guy was guilty (his opinion, a hunch, clear and convincing evidence, whatever), but the prosecution wasn't able to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. They found him not guilty, so he didn't apply his notions (guilty) instead of the evidence (not guilty).
In the end, this would be a new protection that the constitution doesn't appear to already grant journalists, so it's hard to see that not extending it to everyone is necessarily unconstitutional.
The constitution doesn't grant or limit protections to individuals, it only enumerates the powers of the federal government.
I guess the blacks look deeper with a glossy screen or something, but the annoyance of the glare completely removes any value that they have for me. Even in a normally lit room, the glare can be overwhelmingly distracting. I think it has something to do with having an image that you can focus on at a different depth than the text you're trying to read. I got a matte film for my screen and it's wonderful. Bright lights behind you will still make a reflection, but you can't focus on it so it isn't really that annoying.
Doesn't that simply show a superior intellect outwitting superior physical strength?
If the situation truly warranted absolute annihilation of the opponent, sure. But even my wife admits that women can be cruel over petty squabbles. Women seem to have a harder time working out problems (even if men only work them out after a little fighting) and seem to hold grudges for longer. A superior intellect would probably know a little something about picking your battles and the good of social harmony.
I'll second that. There are plenty of free PACS servers available, and you could also ask your MRI vendor for a recommendation (or buy their super expensive version). I've used Osirix before, which I like as a viewer but gets slow when you start building huge libraries of data.
Because I hate when people respond to questions by saying you're asking the wrong question, I'd suggest sticking with HFS+ for file transfers. I don't think you have journalling on Linux, yet, but otherwise Linux HFS+ support is very good. For filling a drive and walking it down the hall, journalling is a little unnecessary anyway. Journalling comes into play more when you're working with the data on a drive. For loading/unloading, journalling will just slow the copy process down a little. If you're worried about the integrity of your copy, do a verify after the copy... journalling won't help you there anyway.
Interesting. Most places that I've lived had the lights roughly synchronized to the speed limit. I've recently moved to Denver, though, where you are guaranteed to stop at every light if you go the speed limit. Ten to fifteen over the speed limit will get you through the lights just fine. I've also noticed a number (most) of the car sensor pads are installed under the white-barred pedestrian crosswalk. If there was anyone besides a flipping coin in charge of setting up the traffic systems here, they should be the first against the wall...
There's this trend to cut corners wherever you can to maximize profits- or to "fix" things that're not broken. Not all places do it, but enough do it to call it a majority, even if it's slight. You can take exception to the remarks- but it's off of YOUR experience that you are doing so. Mine shows that it's not quite the story you're painting- and it's to that that I can only refer to.
Maybe I've been lucky enough to stay away from the bad shops and my views are skewed by it. It usually only takes a few minutes of chat to find out if a shop is ok or not and you're right, the dealerships are foul more often than not (From my experience... Hey, I wasn't even counting them as shops! Maybe a majority is right!). From my exposure, shops are usually rotten from the inside out (ie, the owner's no good and hires people who will go along with his scams). I can't think of a single place that has a fine owner and inept techs working for him.
Either way, it helps to have a little knowledge of what you're asking someone to do. For some reason, the types of people who are out to scam you rarely seem to be too sneaky and subtle about it.
However, you're not the norm. You're the exception to things, sadly.
A disturbing number of the people out there in the shops are "ASE certified" techs that just do things as indicated by those expensive OBDII boxes, never once thinking that it might just be a bad sensor or an unrelated cause that triggered the MIL failure. They don't stop to think what might be wrong- they just go off of what they were told by the computer, blindly trusting in it knowing more than they do about things.
As another former mechanic (working to put myself through college), I have to take exception to that. Most of the mechanics out there are not that inept.
Of course, the few who are will stand out in your memory, but the larger issue is one that is shared by IT folks, doctors, lawyers, plumbers, and everyone else. Mechanics have tons of extremely specialized knowledge that is not known by most people outside their trade. As such, they're expensive and when you find you need them you are in a position where you feel forced to pay whatever they ask for. It's completely normal to feel bad (and cheated) about writing huge checks to mechanics for their time and expertise. It feels exactly the same to pay a lawyer or plumber or whoever else, too.

But with more people in jail then less tax money to pay for it.
That's why you make the crimes of the poor carry the stiffest penalties. Their contributions are small as free taxpayers but substantially larger as supported prisoners.
There's a mini PCIe slot in it as well. In an effort to make it as clean looking as possible (it's in a somewhat exposed location and WAF must be taken into account), I added an internal wireless card and antennas. There is also a VESA mount available for it to allow it to be nicely mounted to a wall/ceiling/monitor.
XBMC itself is extremely configurable and very easy to use. I have it set up to stream movies and TV shows from the home file server, and the whole system is very quiet and responsive. It's one of the few household projects that my wife is actually happy about using and having around.
There is a liver-only fructokinase, which has a way higher Km than the hepatic glucokinase - so basically all fructose in the bloodstream is pulled by GLUT2 into the liver and retained there by phosphorylation through the hepatic fructokinase.
In this case, you're still only killing the cancer cells that a) express this particular biomarker and b) are capable of/"willing to" take these nanoparticles from the surface of the cell to the inside where they can do their thing.
There's still plenty of room here for treatment resistant cancer cells to survive or develop. RNAi is a great therapeutic approach, but it's no magic bullet. It is terribly attractive, though, because it's easier to develop RNAi that's targeted for specific diseases than it is to develop effective small molecule drugs. The big hurdle to date has been effective delivery of the RNAi. You can't exactly flood the body with it like most drugs. Of course, an effective delivery system like this can allow the use of powerful drugs without some of the horrible side effects.
It's not the fact that the Indians aren't caucasian that's causing the problem, it's the way the education system is set up in India. Why would you infer a racist interpretation of his comment when he was clearly discussing the differing education systems?
FWIW, as a grad student in chemistry, I've noticed a stark difference between the abilities of Indians who got their BS in India and anyone who was educated in the States. While they're quite able to rattle off the names of any organic reaction you show them, they are completely baffled when told to apply an analytical approach to a problem that hasn't been solved before. The first trip for them is off to the library to find someone, anyone, who's solved this problem before so that they can just look up the answer.
Wait, are you saying that not getting "pregnant or worse" from having sex as a teen is as likely as winning the lottery? I've always been under the impression that most teens have sex (I don't know any who didn't) and I'm fairly certain that most people alive weren't pregnant as teens and those who weren't could be described as emotionally scarred by their experiences. What a bizarre reality you live in.
If US citizens are working as enemy combatants outside of the US, then they should be eligible as military targets as well.
Just to make it clear that the US military has no business going after US citizens on US soil. We have other agencies for that.
But what's the procedure for deciding what "working as enemy combatants" means. That's the crux of the issue here. Your statement seems to imply that any US citizen who is not actually in the US is a potential military target.
(And don't say he's in the field with an AK, because that's not what this case is about.)
There are a lot more things wrong with this decision than just the 4th amendment violations.
I was thinking the same thing. Reading that link made me sick to my stomach (It's goatse in legalese). I especially liked how the prosecutors were given absolute immunity for making up a fake story and then testifying in front of a grand jury. The judge pretty much admitted that the testimony was false and that the three indictments were intended solely to hassle the guy, but then gave them immunity anyway. His reasoning was basically that if any exception were made for the rule that prosecutors were immune to civil suits, then the courts would be overloaded with cases. So it alright for this guy to be railroaded by freaks clearly abusing their power, I suppose. Ick. I have to take a shower now.
You missed the point. Money is a figment of our imagination. Power is an imaginary concept. If we all stop believing in money, how will those "in power" be corrupted? The entire system that you're using to make your arguments is based on the fallacious premise that wealth and power are objectively measurably and tangible concepts.
This isn't just some idealistic and fantastical idea, either. You can see the value of things change based on the perception and interpretations of others. You can watch countries inflate and deflate the value of their currency at will. Value and wealth are not real intrinsic, measurable properties.
And where does power come from? How does one person "control" millions, or even tens, of others? What can he possibly give them that they can't simply take by force of numbers? Following somebody else's lead is great when it benefits both of you, but why do people allow themselves to be controlled when there's no benefit to them?
Of course, the answer is "that's the way it is and has always been" or "but if I don't let them control me they'll do this or that to me" or something along those lines. Ultimately, we are responsible for our actions and our insistence on being helpless and oppressed makes us helpless and oppressed.

Frankly, this whole discussion is moot. -404F isn't any more or less informative to most people than -242C. They're both "really really fucking cold".
