Depends on Federal and State regs. In many places it's perfectly legal to record a call as long as ONE party involved has knowledge that it's being monitored.
I figure most people think they're watching HD when they're not due to the enhanced clarity of an LCD or plasma screen coupled with a large screen size. Go from a small or medium CRT based TV to a large LCD and even SD is going to look more saturated and crisp.
The females get some pretty wicked coloration on 'em when they're adult. I prefer the relative P. irminia, similar patterning but darks instead of lichen green, and more noticable tiger stripes.
Either way, both species make great pets; only downside is being arboreal they damn near teleport when spooked.
iTunes seems to have the same behavior, and as far as i can tell, only reshuffles once a session. That becomes pretty obvious in a short playlist, when a song's likely to be repeated, or when you go "oh hey i want to listen to that Krokus tune again" and the same song always comes after it.
Reshuffling whenever you manually select a song seems like a good solution to me.
If you aren't raising your children to be ethical people, ones truthful about their ages who won't go where they know they shouldn't, that's your problem.
Point: really, is it unethical to dodge a law that's pretty useless at best anyway? I know I wouldn't have a problem witht my (hypothetical) kids pretending to be a couple years older to get something harmless like a Xanga or LJ or whatever. Hell I did it when I was younger, and I seem to have come out alright.
Which part of international law, exactly, implies that a nation's laws only extend to it's citizens? Last time i checked, if I head over to another country and do something illegal, I'll likely be arrested. Possibly extradited, or possibly held in that country if convicted, but definitely subject to the laws of the land.
Why on earth would you think yourself immune from arrest while passing through a country in which you do a business that just so happens to be illegal within its borders? The minute this gentleman set foot on US soil he came under the juristiction of US laws, and I daresay any other nation feels the same regarding visitors to their lands.
Now granted it could be argued the police may have more pressing matters to attend to, or should have handled it differently, but that's another thread. Perhaps he should have been denied entry rather than arrested.
The problem is, for ever 100 dollar book that's a valuable reference in the field as you mention, there's six or eight that cost at least as much that are totally worthless.
I just finished up a computer engineering degree, and all of my books but a few were badly written, from general chemistry on up to device electronics. Thankfully i was able to sell most of them back, and keep the couple I wanted to use as reference.
People "feeling" fruit is a horrible habit, and leaves bins full of fruit with bruises on them from being squeezed. I'm all for any development that might let me, for once, buy a basket of peaches that havent got finger-pad sized dents all over.
Certainly it's un-clever to say that all homeschooled children will have social problems, but it seems to be dependant on other circumstances, like the concentration of homeschool families, and the parents motivations.
With the interaction of a homeschool co-op or group or whatever you call it in your area I'd be willing to guess there wouldn't be any noticable social dysfunction. Not all areas have that luxury though (think rural-ish places), and a saddening number of parents seem to homeschool their children strictly as a control method; this is where the problem arises, and it doesn't seem to be all that uncommon (disclaimer: I do live in what some call the bible belt of the east coast so I may be seeing this more than other places)
then why can't they travel to another school in Chicago? Surely there'd be some school in Chicago that won't get a child beaten up.
In many cases it's a geographical thing. If you live in a certain area you have a set of (in my case just one, i grew up in a rural setting with not many people compared to Chicago) schools more or less nearby, that you can have your child attend. If it were a matter of just picking one, parents would flock to the best schools, and the others would be empty or inhabited by whoever is leftover
Interestingly, the charter school students I've been in contact with were pretty well adjusted; that school had lots of social functions, some sports, music classes, team or group based work in class, the whole works. On the whole they seemed to be much better spoken, more polite, considerate, and socially adjusted compared to the public school innmates (for context this is out in the rural part of western north carolina)
I didn't percieve any general arrogance, with the exception of the facaulty and student parents. The superiority complex there was astounding, and saddening when I think that it might rub off on the kids if their parents exhibit it too much around them.
It seems like it would depend on the wording of the applicable laws. For a given type of forbidden merchandise, wehther the law forbid sale of or posession
You question the morality of what they are doing, but yes it's legal in the country they operate in.
The questionable thing is, is it legal in other countries in which they operate? In a traditional business (let's say I sell Nazi WWII memorabilia) I'd be barred from doing business in nations whos laws didn't allow for whatever product i was selling. Why should AllofMP3 be treated any differently?
Speaking as an accomplished homebrewer, I'll take my 2 cases of great beer in 4 weeks (not six) for a fraction the cost of comparable commercial brews, thanks for asking;)

Well, if you assume an elastic collision...
Okay so...as a cigar smoker....I hafta ask,, how do you do that :)

Have them reformat, duh.

Eve takes even more time investment than WoW, I suspect that contributes to its lack of popularity. It's also immensely more complicated.

Interesting account, thanks for the reponse :)

they're probably smarter and/or more self-motivated than someone with an equivalent score from a regular school.
Or have parents who are control freaks or slave drivers. But as long as the kid knows his or her stuff I guess that still counts as "smarter"
That's the damned truth> I always wondered why those disks wouldn't copy well.
