I'd argue with you but neither my opinion, nor yours, matters.. the only people who's opinion matters is that of the members of the jury.. and they say he's guilty.
I just hope I'm never on trial for my life in the US.
Most of the cases the police clearly weren't terribly interested until the perp happened to hit a place with good surveillance, and then they usually knew who it was immediately and the case went very quickly. Here's a hint, it had nothing to do with the surveillance system.. it had to do with the cost of a good surveillance system and the kind of people who can afford such things.
The police are interested in crimes when it happens to rich people because such people have political clout.
Floods typically do follow droughts.. so I wouldn't be surprised if an oral tradition was formed around how the global flood (which is a legend in most every culture) was passed on for 70,000 years or so.
Linking is the big killer in C++ compilation - especially with modern name mangling, all those string compares! It's about time name mangling was dropped all-together and some dynamic linking support for C++ would be nice.. but with all the baggage of C++ it's easier just to go the other way and try to make C# into a proper compiled language.
The difference is that C# actually gives you code that is remotely close to native performance.. and if you do the extra jumping through hoops, you can actually generate (crappy) native code.
Lately I've found the biggest advantage of using C# over C++ is compile time. If I change a header file in C++, that's it, I'm off to make coffee, but with C# you can change just about anything and the code is recompiled in seconds.
Now if only the native code generation for C# wasn't so pitiful and unsupported.
If they had called it "One E-book Per Child" and then all people would have is praise. "Wow, they were just trying to give an e-book to every child in the world, but look at all this other cool stuff it does!"
GM plants are sterile. They are made such because of exactly this kind of fear. Of course, if you ask the opponents of GM food, they'll either be completely unaware of this fact, like you, or they'll say that the big bad companies are making the plants sterile so they can keep the farmers on a short leash.
Airports were the first place where it didn't apply. Now you can be frisked before entering a night club, a political rally, or hell, even your local high school.
The way the US has let the Fourth Amendment slip over the years is a disgrace.

it will most likely just be used for more nuclear weapons simulations.
Most everyone agrees that the verdict would have been different if Hans hadn't testified, or just hadn't be so freakin' weird.
That's proof enough that the trial system is officially broken.
What I think is that it takes very little evidence to convict in the US.
Yeah, it's just a shame that you can't opt for a non-jury trial.

nuff said.
No evidence? No body? No murder weapon? Who cares! The prosecutor used Power Point in his closing.. The defendant is "weird".
Oh well, maybe Hans will confess and reveal where he stashed the body now.

Unless you live in a small town a picture of the perpetrator is all but useless. The police really don't care about break and entry anyway.
It's two words dude, "global flood", and that's about the only thing common between the various myths that it has spawned.
Unless the myth is going to change from "flood of water" to "flood of cats" I think it's pretty easy.

You too can do basic research in just minutes!

No, they said web *presence*. Ya know, like how many web pages there are about the language..

slow hockey.

But no.
Care to elaborate how exactly Sugar "sucks hard"? Seems it is fulfilling all the goals it was intended to.
You don't think that maybe one is related to the other?
The doc says you don't need WGA.

and if they take that stance they'll find that *they* are going to be sued as they have now lost common carrier exemption.
