Make sure you get plenty of sleep before going to court.
Clifton Williams didn't and he's been sentenced to six months in jail for yawning.
"I was flabbergasted because I didn't realize a judge could do that," Williams' father, Clifton Williams Sr., told the Chicago Tribune. "It seems to me like a yawn is an involuntary action."
Williams, 33, attended his cousin's July hearing at Will County Courthouse in Joliet. His cousin, Jason Mayfield, pled guilty to a felony drug charge. As the judge sentenced Mayfield to two years probation, Williams let out a yawn, an involuntary faux pas in such a formal setting.
Circuit Judge Daniel Rozak thought the yawn was criminal and sentenced Williams to six months in jail, the maximum penalty for contempt of court without a jury trial. Rozak's order said that Williams "raised his hands while at the same time making a loud yawning sound," causing a disrespectful interruption in court.
So in a strange turn of events Mayfield, the felon, will be able to walk freely, while Williams, the yawner, will have to spend at least three weeks behind bars for his offending yawn. But it's not out of character for Rozak.
Contempt of court charges are typically issued when a judge feels someone is challenging or ignoring the court's authority, e.g., yelling at a judge, ignoring subpoenas, appearing in court drunk, etc.
But Rozak runs a tight ship. He has charged people who cuss in reaction to a sentencing and even jailed spectators whose cell phones interrupt proceedings. In fact, the Chicago Tribune found that Rozak has sentenced more spectators to jail for infractions involving cell phones than any other judge in Will County in the last decade.
Of the 30 judges in the 12th Judicial Circuit, Rozak has brought more than a third of all the contempt charges in the last 10 years.
"This is ridiculous -- you've got all these people shooting up kids, and here this boy yawns in court [and gets 6 months]. It's crazy," said Williams' 79-year-old grandmother.
UPDATE -- he was released from 3 weeks. Yes, Three weeks in jail for yawning in court.
I spend my weekends drinking and getting pussy (There's a vapid slut still passed out in my bed right now). Python and ruby are for guys who have no social life and/or can't get laid.
It's even worse. Ford (or more accurately, CEO Alan Mulally) saw the impending doom and got ahold of as much cash and lines of credit as they could and were able to avoid bankruptcy. Car companies (especially GM!) don't make money by selling cars so much as they do by financing car sales. GMAC was also the recipient of multiple rounds of government financing and has FDIC backing and access to below-market government financing. In order to increase GM sales, GMAC lowered their standards (sound familiar?) and offers 0% loans. Meanwhile, Ford Motor Credit needs to borrow money on the open market at rates of 10% or so.
If you look at Edmund's analysis of the CARS program, Ford has 4 of the top 10 (including the higher margin F150 and escape SUV). The official government figures, however, are broken out so that high milage (and mostly foreign) cars look more popular.

They're planning on releasing a gps/car kit so it can also be used with the iPod touch.
ad hoc distribution (which does NOT involve the appt store and are generally for testing) are based on the device id.
the topic is hard drive destruction, not sex.

We pay 50% royalties for our technical books. We take what we receive for a book, subtract direct costs (printing, copy edit, artwork, and a few other things) and split it with you.
You can't go wrong with Java, MySQL, PHP, Linux, OpenOffice....!
February 31st much?
Or perl has been around long enough that most questions are already answered.

"ton of cash" == $0.00
Unfortunately, formally proving your first post changed the outcome.
but there are 3 (that I can name!) next generation javascript frameworks that may help:
GWT -- google's java to javascript translator.
Sproutcore -- Apple is using it for .Mac
Cappuccino -- more or less complete reimplementation of Cocoa via objective javascript
I'll also mention OpenLazlo, though I haven't paid any attention to it, so I don't know the internals.
Think again. The original star office ran on CP/M.
eh, scooters can get upwards of 150 mpg and you don't have the stigma of looking like a loser (at least compared to driving a chevy).
Why red, green, blue and yellow? They are all primary colors, and contrast well to the human eye.
I'm sure they will once they in control 100% of healthcare rather than just 50% of it.

Language standards often include the 2 digit year. C89. Fortran77. The x in c++0x was a placeholder for the year it would eventually be approved.
We only need to jail 536 people to save trillions.
That's why I ride bareback.
MIPS32 is different than x86? WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME!!@!@!>!@!!!!1!
Also, LG, formerly Lucky Goldstar. When you're known for producing shit, there's only one way to go.
how about the actual computers themselves?
