On clear nights I sometimes walk the half mile up the mountain road into the valley behind my house and look up at the sky. The air here (southeast Alaska) is not as clear as the air of the Arizona desert due to all the moisture of the nearby Pacific Ocean, but the view is still damned impressive.
There is a benefit to living in central Alaska: the very cold winter nights here make for spectacular night sky viewing, as the air is very dry. I live in a rural area, but I can see one or 2 lights on houses a few miles away, since my house in on a hill.

Well, it's obvious that you've done your research. The question is where did you do it?
You can believe whatever you want, the fact is certain supplements do have a measurable effect on people who combine them properly, with the rest of their diet and an excercise program. And for me, it's not just evidence from numerous studies (none of which would convince you anyway), but from personal experience that I can confidently make that claim.
If you don't do your own research, you never know the facts.
Here, too we can request a trial by jury in a civil matter, but it is not favored by the Court. Usually it's a "Bench Trial" of however many days you get. I'd expect that on all but the most relevant cases would the Judge deny a jury trial.
If it goes to a jury, you could find the outcome to be a big surprise. Lots of emotions come into play here, and the side that best sells the Jury wins.
And if it goes before a Judge who doesn't understand the technical parts of the case, or if one side pissed him off (yeah, in an Ideal World [TM] the Judge would be impartial), then the outcome might surprise you.
The system is intimidating to most outsiders (read: non-lawyers), but you don't have to know every aspect of the laws to make a case-you just have to know the procedures and make your case well, and the rest is up to the judge and jury.
It's called Knoppix Just put in the CD, reboot, and there you are, a full running Linux distro, and if they get scared they can just reboot. It doesn't change anything on the machine.
I tried it awhile back, and right off it found everything, and I connected to the 'net with no hassles. I actually like it better than my current distro, mandrake.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: if someone put up a website (hint hint) that had essentially fill-in-the-blank [TM] Pro Se forms for whatever action was being contemplated, suitable for each state, then the weight of pro se litigants would be far better than these class-action lawsuits.
Too often, people seek out lawyers for simple matters they could easily win with just a little research and effort. I've done a few pro se cases, both as plaintiff and defendant, and have won them all so far (I'm just starting on one of them). In one of the cases, against the State, I won my judgment by default because they took too long to reply. So I won thousands of dollars and typed up less than 10 pages, and did all of my research online.
I bought some of those plastic boxes with partitions in them and tightly snapping lids. One side has spare screws and misc. other small parts, and the other side is where I keep other loose stuff, like small parts I'm removing.
For awhile in the army I was known as Private Enterprise, and it had nothing to do with Star Trek or my rank. (I felt the need to clarify that as this is/.)
(Obligatory NitPick [TM]) BTW, Sargent major is an actual rank.
I agree, I went to a Van Hagar concert and left because it was just so loud it was shitty. And I've seen Black Sabbath, Ozzy with Randy Rhodes (gosh I just dated myself-opened by Motorhead, as if anyone remembers them), Rush at least twice, ACDC, Judas Priest, and many many others.
I was trying to remember which of the others may have been loud, but I guess I was too wasted and fighting the whole time to notice. Ahhh, sweet nostalgia.
It's called HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening). You exit the aircraft at 25,000 ft. +, and drift for awhile. Depending on the situation you can drift quite a ways, definately more than 30 miles. It's probably classified so I better pretend I'm ignorant of the details. But it's been around for awhile.
There's also HAHO.
I have no knowledge of the incident you may be describing, and furthermore, any information I may have I would not be at liberty to reveal.

Never underestimate the power of a Pro Se litigant. Certainly it's not for everyone, but if someone came up with the basic arguments, (and posted it somewhere for everyone to download) and the procedures for your Court system, (which you can find online or at your local courthouse or law library) then you can cost them a lot of money, even if you eventually lose. I can tell you that discovery proceedings can be very expensive, especially when you write a big discovery/interrog/request for production. The rules aren't that hard to follow, but sometimes even the big firms slip up and the Judge does not like that.
I'd bet this would slow them down, and think of the negative publicity.
As a matter of background, my first Pro Se case was defending myself against the State. I won.
I live in a small (pop. 1,200) town in rural Alaska, and a surprising majority of the people I've talked to have heard of Linux, and a few use it. I'm slated to give free lessons at our local Library on Linux this fall, so apparently there are many who are interested.

I only got it during the winter, and now that you mention it, it did seem to occur less frequently as I got older. And my parents smoked too. They tried everything, though-poultice packs on my chest, stuff in the humidifier. Hateful. We lived too far from the doctors for me to go more than once, and my first time the docs broke a needle off in my ass, so I really didnt want to go back anyway.
As a miner, I think I'll stick with my metal bike for now. Unfortunately, since I mine for gold and platinum-group metals here in Alaska, and a little gemstones and other interesting minerals, I'm holding out for a gem-encrusted strategic-and-critical minerals bike.
Plus I grow weary of this save the earth crap.
