Actually he had to put up a $500 bond (ie he was released on bail) then he returned in Mid-October '76 to enter his plea to the Class D misdemeanor. Though referring to the incident his staff has avoided the word "arrest" using euphemisms like picked-up, or pulled-over instead, if you had to put up bail, then you were arrested. If you confessed to a Class D misdeanor, then you are a criminal. The constitution states that upon conviction of "high crimes and misdemeanors" the president is to be removed from office. So if Bush had done this in office, and then confessed to the Senate instead of a judge, he could be removed from office.
His car was seen swerving off the road, and travelling at too slow a speed, so he was pulled over. After failing a roadside sobriety test, he was brought in and given a blood test that registered 0.10% Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), the new national standard was just changed from.10 to.08 BAC. Considering the delay in administering the test, Bush could easily have had a BAC of twice the new legal limit. To reach a BAC of over.10, he would had to drink 5 drinks in an hour.
25,000 Americans die each year due to drunk driving, so this is not a "mistake" that you can just write off. He endangered lives including the life of his own sister. I don't want those kind of family values in the White House.
He claims he learned from his mistake, but he continued to drink for 10 more years after his arrest. Also, he obviously has not completed AA, since he seems quick blame the messenger regarding news of the arrest. If he had made it through AA then he would be accepting that this was HIS arrest, resulting HIS behavior.
TIM RUSSERT: If someone came to you and said, "Governor, I'm sorry, I'm going to go public with some information." What do you do?
GOV. BUSH: If someone was willing to go public with information that was damaging, you'd have heard about it by now. You've had heard about it now. My background has been scrutinized by all kinds of reporters. Tim, we can talk about this all morning.
2. BUSH LIED TO "DALLAS MORNING NEWS," 1998
"Just after the governor's reelection in 1998, [Dallas Morning
News reporter Wayne] Slater pressed Bush about whether he had ever been
arrested. 'He said, "After 1968? No."'" New Republic
3. BUSH LIED TO CBS, 1999.
"Bush has often acknowledged past mistakes, but CBS News Correspondent Lee Cowan reports that in a 1999 interview with CBS station WBZ in Boston, he denied there was any so-called smoking gun." CBS
The statement to the Dallas Morning News report in the National Review is the most damning. Remember, it wasn't the sex that Clinton was impeached for, it was the lying. This is just too close to the election for the first shoe the drop, you don't want the second shoe to drop AFTER he's the ruler of the free world do you?
If you haven't been to Trader Joe's and you have on in your area than get on down there ASAP. They have great food (like habenero tortillas) and GREAT prices.
They are kind of like one of those generic stores, since they sell everything under their own label (with a few exceptions, such as Ghirardelli chocolate) but the quality and selection rival Zabar's. This is how they keep the prices so low.
There is also a website for Cheryl Stearns jump at Stratoquest.com. Aparently the jump was going to be filmed for a TV series called "Global Fitness Challenge". (However, that mentions an April 2000 date?) The common theme of the show seems to be pitting an American athlete or team against a foreign competitor.
RE: Gary Powers
Though the U2 was capable of flying at 80,000' and routinely flew at 70,000, Powers plane had already dropped to 34,000 feet when he climbed out. (read Mayday for the U2 for a detailed retelling of Powers flight).
But since you are prohibited from importing it, you could only use a program you download from website in your own country. Further, it might be interpretted that even downloading a program from a domestic site falls under the "otherwise traffic in" clause of the prohibition.
So using a device okay, getting one would be the problem.
Reminds of the weblog of Judith Sammel regarding her experiences with Comcast@Home entitled: Get a Cable Modem......Go to Jail. (briefly, they insisted that since she a had a cable hook-up, but no cableTV service, she must be a cable pirate, in fact she just had cable for the modem hook-up only.)
You would think that treating your customers as criminals would be a real bad business strategy, but until there is a major overlap of *DSL and Cable Internet coverage, these companies are going to act like the monopolies they have always been in the past.
Under Bush, Texas' recidivism rate has increased by 25 percent - (Nobody knows what has happened to the recidivism rate under Bush because those figures haven't been published, due to extensive lag times in reporting. The most recent numbers are from 1994, according to the Texas Criminal Justice Policy Council.)
I think the fact that it takes Bush's Texas administration more than five years to determine the where abouts of known criminals is NOT something to brag about, especially since its been shown that some of them have been issued concealed carry permits.
"I live on a farm today. I have my heart in my own farm." (Gore lives in the vice-presidential mansion at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. After making this farm claim, Gore said: "Yes, I live in Washington, D.C., when I'm working there")
George Herbert Walker Bush conveniently lived in Texas (which has no state income tax) in a Houston apartment throughout his entire Presidency, at least that's what he reported on his tax return, so he didn't have to pay DC taxes. Are you saying that President Bush is guilty of tax fraud?
If each of the devices was wireless IPv6 enabled then you get the added benefits of security (so your neighbors couldn't track your password & credit card numbers when you typed them in, or read your outgoing email) and portability, since complying to a Universal standard should let you use the devices on any IPv6 enabled appliance, such as your digital 'VCR', Game Station, DVD player, MP3 player, Cell Phone, etc. all of which seem to be planning to incorporate the standard.
IRS shares data with lots of agencies, including SSA (to confirm FICA withholding, forward Self-Employment tax payments, etc.), Dept of Education (to confirm eligibility for Student Financial Aid), and others.
That I know of, SSA does NOT share individual data with anyone, except death records, which they will share with anyone (not just government agencies). In some cases, SSA will take another agencies data, do a match for them, and then provide 'cleansed' results. That might be a good alternative for the curent situation, have Census do the match and then provide the results in 'cleansed' data.
Most agencies provide data TO Census, for example, they get a HUGE data dump from the Post Office of every mailing address in the country, but Census does not share INDIVIDUAL data with ANYONE.
Congress would have to pass an amendment, not just a bill, an amendment to the Constitution to force the Census Bureau to turn over the data.
Though the Census is in the Constitution, the guarantee that it be kept private is not. You would be protected from being prosecuted based on anything you put in your Census form, due to protections against self-incrimination. So if you put in different amounts for income on census and IRS forms, they couldn't come after you for tax evasion.
I doubt there are any sites that "randomly censored". Maybe inexplicably censored, or unintentionally censored, or inadvertantly censored, or even extraneouslyy or gratuitiutously censored.
Censoring sites randomly would be pretty hard to code given the number of potential URLs. I guess of course you could do it by IP number, but what would be the point.
Actually, the trick is stay CLOSE to the ground. This gives you the stability without the drag. An example of such personal "aircraft" is the Airboard personal hovercraft from Sydney Olympics Opening Ceremonies.
They go upto 30 mph, and cost around $7,000 AND ARE AVAILABLE TODAY!
The website also claims they are VERY safe. They are marketing them at first as a kind of go-cart without wheels for use at theme parks. I think that is their strategy until they can get them certified as street legal in various jurisdictions.
Is it just me, or does the pig/elephant penguin look just a little too much like its wearing a gas mask. Especially for an ad in German (not thet German are bad, but German soldiers in gas masks make me nervous). Do you think it is intended to bring up visions of Linux stormtroopers marching in to take away our rights, like the "Right to Innovate"?
I think he meant This_story_has_been_bouncing_around_for_a_while.h, which contains the prototype for the this_is_old_news() function.
This is the second story this afternoon that is yanked right out of one of the slashboxes. This one is in LinuxNewbie.ORG, and the Froomkin ICANN story was in TBTF. Can't we get stories that we haven't read previously right here on slashdot? I know I constantly I am submitting stories that are just breaking on the wires, and slashdot rejects them, only to post them a couple of days later when they have been bouncing around the net for a while.
Remember, the first three letters of NEWS is N_E_W! Either publish 'News for Nerds' or change your slogan.
By the the way, while.h wouldn't be allowed since 'while' is a reserved word.
From the article: "Sooner or later, wireless phones will look more like earplugs, and people will wear them," Fukumoto says. "We just have to establish a culture that registers an idea with people that wearing a device is a cool thing."
Does this make anyone else think of the Borg? Sure, just attach this occular implant and you'll be able to browse the Internet while walking around.
Please see the Simpson's episode where Ned Flanders opens a Mall store for left handed gadgets. I'm certain that one of the items mentioned and/or shown in the store is coffee cup or mug.
Also, the first image on this page clearly shows both left handed and righthanded model, and the page discusses its use as a cup to be used for coffes.
Deletion wouldn't be necessary. Instead you could just have power moderation for select users (maybe users with 50 karma) that would be allowed to moderate posts to -2. This same group would also be able to moderate up -2 posts, so if someone got overzealous, there is a fix.
Ditto, except put it in the FAQ as well as posting it as a regular story.
I've M2'd some 'overated' posts, so I know they are getting scrutinized. But what makes it hard is that we don't know what they were rated at the time they were moderated. Maybe for Over & Under rated posts the M2 should consist of selecting what we think the appropriate rating should be, then slashcode would determine if the Under/Over was appropriate based on that.
I think SlashCode is a more reasonable place to request added features, then a href="http://Slashdot.Org/">SlashDot could regularly ask for input as to which SlashCode features should be implemented here.
Personally I see a great take off on The Planet of the Apes, where instead of human astronauts returning to Earth after eons in space, only to find apes have evolved into the dominant sentient life forms on the planet, we instead have a space ship crash to earth in the distant future carrying a mutated fungus that is now sentient (and can move freely) that takes over the Earth replacing humans as the dominant sentient life form.
New Scientist has an article this week on a new catalytic converter type device that converts CO2 and CO gases in car exhaust into high-carbon particluates that can then be used to create artificial industrial grade diamonds.
Bob Brammer, a spokesman for the Iowa Attorney General, said. "We are full partners and have full status as plaintiffs in the case, and we will continue the case."
Regarding M$ attempt to extend the appeals process, the CT AG said "Prolonging the (appeals) process creates additional cost, uncertainty and harm to consumers."

And I thought the Chess game was originally on WestWorld.
There's also a concept graphic of the display dome on the company's homepage.
I think LoboNet gets their technology from uSurf America that has several patents on the technology. They are the parent company of CyberHighway, a nationawide ISP.
These old wireless cable systems are all over the country, Sprint has bought up a lot of them.
By the way, there are no satellites involved. Why does everyone assume that a dish antenna has to be for satellite?

I think you would raised more prize money and gotten more contestants if either of these was the purpose.
