I have one simple requirement: all laws must be written in a Wiki with full history. Could someone please stand up a Wiki with the entire U.S. Code and every change ever made to it, so that it can be viewed as of any date in history. Also I would like to see a graph of sizeof(USCODE)/time.
Every time I try to solder one of these newfangled transistors to the breadboard, the drop of solder overflows, from the atom I am trying to connect over onto one of the other atoms, and the two atoms converge in a glob of molten solder causing a short circuit. I can never get the glob of solder off of the other atom after that.
I spent the day in Vegas investing in futures contracts on green-chip investment products such as the "5," "6" and "8." Unfortunately the table went south about the same time as did P&G. But I didn't need a middleman, and I saved 100% on commission.
But in this case you are just using the legal system in the worst possible way: To screw someone out of a legitimate outcome.
Marrying a lawyer is using the legal system in the best possible way, and at the same time you're doing what everybody thinks ought to be done to lawyers.
1. Prof testifies as an expert witness about stuck accelerators being caused by cosmic rays. 2. Idiot jurors buy his story and let Toyota off the hook. 3. Prof profits!!
Extraterrestrials are advanced beings who lead by example. In particular, they obey FCC Part 97, which states that one must use "the minimum power necessary to carry out the desired communications." We should follow their lead.
Additionally, because the Court has held that the Copyright Act does not provide a making available right, it will not enjoin Thomas-Rasset from making the copyrighted sound recordings available to the public.
You mean all she has to do is buy some legal CDs, and make them available in a folder? Like her Kazaa directory? I'm confused....
1. Set up honeypot and bogus law firm. 2. File big lawsuit against China. 3. Log sources and vectors during ensuing cyberattack. 4. Sell results to DoD. 5. Profit!!
Crime officially did not exist. Everything offcially worked the way it was supposed to.
Since Russia once again has a totalitarian government, and its government and culture retain many similarities with Soviet Communism, maybe the Moscow Police turned a blind eye, as it were, to the fact that the cameras weren't working. Maybe the cops put the hapless camera vendor up to pretending the cameras worked.

Consumer protection laws, to the extent they exist in Vegas, are for consumers. Run a business from your hotel room and you are a commercial enterprise; and the law will assume you are a grown-up who is capable of being held to a contract (see my other post).
The people who got evicted had no right to bring business invitees onto the property and to expose the hotel to liability risk, for example for slip and fall accidents.
Also, if you had ever exhibited at a trade show in Vegas you'd know that every light bulb has to be screwed in by a member of the Teamsters Union. You REALLY don't want to fuck with the Vegas Teamsters Union. And neither does the hotel.
I have stayed at the Venetian/Palazzo many times. When you check in, there is a four page agreement that appears on a little LCD screen that you have to sign. It specifically says you agree not to display merchandise or conduct business in your suite.
So this entire thread is in the category of Whining.
We lawyers often have to quickly develop expertise in this or that technical subject depending on the case, and we have to know the subject matter cold in order to engage in meaningful examination of the witnesses. ("Isn't it true, Mr. Developer, that you typed 'i++' instead of '++i', causing the stack to overflow and necessitating a scram of the atomic pile?") You might remember the episode of "ER" where they had a lawyer who knew his medicine so well that the doctors would let him operate on people.
In the LHC scenario you describe, a successful civil action based on negligence might require service of a summons with near-infinite mass traveling at 0.99C. We're used to this.
I did submit the crotch bomber to Darwin on account of his apparently having sterilized himself, and I received the following replies from their mods:
Bruce said: Definitely Toss: No Self-Selection Thanks, but we don't award terrorists. First off, he knew what he was trying to do, which means he didn't care what happened to him. Second, he intended to hurt/kill hundreds of others. For both those reasons a DA isn't appropriate for terrorists.
Darwin said: Definitely Toss: Not Amusing Dude. Use your noggin. Many, many people were at risk; although what you say is true, people just don't laugh at terrorist acts, and the Darwin Awards is meant to amuse. Appreciate the "thought" but it simply ain't a winner, m.b. Don't mean to harsh you. You aren't the unlucky recipient of flame emails... we gotta keep it amusing by refusing to accept submissions where innocent people were imperiled. Keep lookin' for more...

If people could communicate casually without being subject to eavesdropping, no one's taillights would ever be burnt out again.

Hackers will be able to summon black helicopters full of men in white Hazmat suits and have entire city blocks cordoned off.
There'll be an app to detect Colombian dope dealers wandering around with bags full of currency, so we can mug them.
And don't forget the app that sniffs the air around you and occasionally plays the ringtone, "Phew! Somebody farted!"
You mean dahwlects.

If you had a world made of anti matter, everything should work the same.
All electrical charges would be reversed - anti electrons (positrons) are positive charge.
Except all your diodes and batteries would have to be put in backwards.
How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive has added a chapter on how to add on a hamster wheel.
So Exxon will be able to suck the gas back out of my tank?

Written contracts (such as the one guests sign when they check in at the Venetian) override oral promises. IAAL.
Fail to learn this and you will be whining every time you buy a used car or join a health club.
More YANAL noise.

-1 YANAL.
In Vegas a hotel can evict you for any reason, or none at all.
And if you were stupid enough to sue, you'd find out about the Vegas court system and who owns it.

Dear Mr. Layman,
