If you and everyone that is an American citizen thinks like that, we have absolutely no hope in gaining back rights taken from us. we have no way of reversing things like the Patriot Act. We have no way of being _free_ as our lady liberty meant us to be.
Lady Liberty is not the symbol you want to be using.
Why couldn't they wait till the weekend, or at least after hours, instead of disrupting children's school day?
The obvious answer is that the employees of the school will be there during school hours... making the search a lot easier.
Just to throw this out there.. from this story, we know the warrant has two options for when the search will take place: 1) In the Daytime, from 6am-10pm 2) At any time day or night as I find reasonable cause has been established.
The judge would not permit the nighttime search. To make sure you have enough time, you would want to start the search early in the day. And for a copyright infringement case, why make the FBI work weekends? During the school day is the obvious choice - but you could schedule it for a day the students were gone, maybe wait until summer.
The irony is of course that you, yourself, have added nothing to this argument. Consider yourself dismissed.

I'll at least say that theft is defined as: 1. (Law) The act of stealing; specifically, the felonious taking and removing of personal property, with an intent to deprive the rightful owner of the same; larceny.
Since you are not depriving anybody of anything, there is no theft. That's not to say it's legal - there may be some copyright infringements or trespassing issues in some of the examples given.
There's a frozen lake of fire at Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park. Apparently it's still liquid a few hundred feet below the surface, but you can walk across the top. I didn't see any flying pigs when I was there, couldn't even find a flying Nene.
I think my iPod was frozen. On the right side there is a gap between the white front and the metal back that looks like it could have been cause by extreme cold. The tech specs say the non-operating minimum temp is -4 degrees F, and I'm sure we had some -30 nights this winter that I left it in my car. Oops. Maybe I can get Best Buy to trade me for a new one though...
Tell me about it. I was all looking forward to seeing The Passion but then some jackass came up to me on the street and told me about how the main character dies at the end to save humanity. So I told him "hey jackass, thanks for ruining the movie for me. I'm reporting you to the MPAA for pirating the plot and redistributing it to me. I think you owe Mel Gibson an apology and $10." It's just as well that I didn't see it - it sounds like they just ripped off the ending from The Matrix: Revolutions.
Same thing happened when I wanted to see Miracle. Somebody told me the Hanson brothers from Slapshot were in it, so didn't even bother. Slapshot 2 sucked.
I do (and I have for well over a year), and I have NEVER seen an overrated or underrated moderation in the meta-mod queue.
I go in spurts of meta-modding every day to not doing it for weeks. I suspected over/underrated were immune to meta-modding, but it's true I don't do it enough to be sure.
I wonder how my sarcastic "offtopic" moderation of Hemos will be taken by the meta-mods.
Mod it overrated. If it isn't really informative and it's modded so, take the points away - it's just as effective.
Overrated is a copout. How is a meta-moderator supposed to know why you moderated it down? With "wrong", meta-mods can figure out if it was indeed wrong.
You're right. I assumed the discussion was limited to escape velocities from Earth - and I took "the object you're orbiting" to mean the object you're putting into orbit.
Now I'm curious if orbiting was the correct word, because once it passes escape velocity, it will leave the orbit.
I still say we need a "wrong" modifier. Or "misinformed".
Then how did that original post get modded informative? I thought physics was pre-requisite for reading slashdot.
Seriously, there's a need for a "wrong" modifier, so people can mod such posts down without fear of recourse from meta-moderators who think the post is correct.
Orbital mechanics tells us that the velocity of an orbiting object is dependent on the mass of the object you're orbiting, and the distance you are from the surface.
I don't have a physics book handy, but I'm pretty sure mass has nothing to do with the velocity.
I've seen a lot of #ifdef _WIN32 in Apple headers, and I think most of them were related to Apple's port of QuickTime. Rather than porting software to the Win32 API, I think they made a Mac-Win32 compatibility library so for Apple, porting to Windows from Carbon just involves recompiling for x86 and linking with that library.
Oh piss off, I was just paraphrasing the parent comment, I didn't say I agreed with it. I was hoping for replies like the one from Dukael_Mikakis, which was funny.
FWIW, I've been using Macs for over 10 years. Got an LCIII in 93 when I was 15, a StarMax clone in 97, an iMac in 98 (paid for by Mac shareware sales), and a PB G4 in 02. So yes, I've ACTUALLY used one.
That sounds like a very realistic scenario.
What is the plan for preventing this "Denial of Service" attack?
Typical Microsoft. The functionality goes in before the security is considered.
The elevators have caller ID, so these kids will get caught and their cell phones will be banned from using elevators again.
My iMac monitor died one day. A friend had found an iMac with a dead motherboard in the garbage and we just put that monitor into my iMac. So my original iMac still runs fine. I don't use it anymore because I have a PBG4, but it still runs fine.
And it was perfect when I did use it too. Didn't take up too much room in my college apartments, and was easy enough to grab and throw on my passenger seat whenever I went home on break.

Does it matter? I've got a 2.4 GHz P4 at work, and a 550 MHz G4 Powerbook at home. I can't tell much of a diffence for what I do.
The optimizing compiler should realize it's the same variable and only do one CREATE.

Haven't you been paying attention to W? The economy is great. These employees will have no trouble finding a job at Walmart.
To call the police, you push 911 then just tell 'em to bring an ambulance, or a "hearst" if you're gonna kill me.
The bus drivers are on strike.

When is that coming out? I'll have to put in for my vacation to camp out at the Apple Store.

To rephrase in /. terms:
1. Get OS from someone
2. Have someone else make a fast chip
3. ???
4. Profit!
And what are these "friends" you speak of? I thought the /. lifestyle didn't leave room for friends.
The elevators have caller ID, so these kids will get caught and their cell phones will be banned from using elevators again.
I've thrown countless discs across the room, with no intention of reading them - mostly from AOL or CD-Rs that didn't take.
