Strange. So, they knew these things, but didn't know proper usage of pronouns?
Libertarian legal scholar Eugene Volokh has posted a discussion of this in which he concludes that what Holder advocated was actually a very narrow restriction on helping people build bombs.
The narrowness isn't terribly relevant - these people can never have enough after they get the first taste.
You can always go over to change.gov [change.gov] and tell him what you think of this guy.
LOL! Let me know how that goes. For the rest of you who haven't been around the block a time or two, it requires campaign contributions - and lots of them - to actually tell someone like Obama what you think in a way that will even get a hearing.
I played with Legos extensively before getting married at 30:) Seriously, I bought hundreds of dollars of Legos in my 20s, and my kids now build the most fabulous things out of them. I still have my original set which is about 35 years old at this point, and still in great shape. I'm giving you this background to let you know that Legos are just something I give my kids, they are something with which I am intimately familiar.
On occasion, my kids will receive megabloks as a gift from someone. While the blocks are the same size, and fit with Legos, it's obvious that the plastic is of a different quality. They don't lock as well and have a different luster to them. They feel brittle. My kids have only a few of them, yet I can easily spot them in a pile of bricks.
Anyway, we don't buy them. I don't want to sound like a snob, but I just like the look and feel of Legos better, and the fact that mine are still like new after 35 years says a lot.
Years ago in college we had a few Sun 3 workstations, and all of us CS types had logins on them of course. I also worked for the university computing department as did one of my fellow CS students. Often I'd be working on the Sun 3 when he'd log in and run his "xeyes from hell script", which would essentially open a bunch of xeyes with random geometries.
Usually, when he was doing this he was sitting in another office working on a DOS machine running NCSA Telnet, which had the awesome feature that it would run an FTP server when you were using telnet.
So, I would go to another machine, figure out his IP address using "w", and ftp to his desktop. Then I'd type the killer: "cd a:".
With that, it would use the old BIOS call, which in the absence of a floppy would literally lock up the machine and prompt you to stick a disk in.
It gets better (or, worse if you're Colin). After he'd scrape up a floppy and stick it in, I would get the prompt back letting me know he'd found one. No problem: "cd b:".
There was no second floppy on that particular machine, so the BIOS would emulate two floppies and keep track of which was which. So he had to run and grab another to make the machine usable again. At that point, I could lock the machine up at will simply by cd'ing to the other floppy. And he would find me, and use "write" to ask for a truce.
Funny thing is, it was really easy to turn off the ftp server. I guess I can let that cat out of the bag now.
Really? What does it do? Think I'll try it and s
CARRIER LOST
I know that's not real. A real carrier lost has a bunch of punctuation characters first, almost as if someone is holding down shift while hitting the number keys...
I have psoriasis - I've already donated tissue to a research tissue bank for that. I have no problems at all putting my history and genetic code out there for any researchers - it can only benefit me and my descendants.
Technically, it could also be used to create a clone army of me. But, we'd be pretty cool and probably not hurt anyone.
For me, this would cut out the "firefighters" and "police" charitable funds, and a couple of others that call locally. But the ones that really irk me are the "lower your credit card interest rates" that I get every few days, and it's different caller id each time. Usually falsified caller id. So I would still end up getting about the same number of nuisance calls.
What would be optimal would be the FCC doing their job and shutting the scammers down, but I'm not holding my breath.
If the folks behind this wish to post the DNA sequence of a 40-year old male with blonde hair, blue eyes, and psoriasis (a genetic immune disorder), let me know. I have recently donated to a tissue bank for psoriasis research, and would gladly donate to your research, too.
with the most notable being a sighting in 1991 with a US Air Force pilot's first-hand account. Not that this lends an air of credibility to anything, just more papers with more words.
Sorry, having an Air Force captain (pilot) describe seeing this *does* lend an air of credibility. The Air Force doesn't let Jim from the trailer park fly their planes.
What are you smoking? A Miranda warning spells out your rights, then asks if you wish to waive them. How much more expicit does it need to get?
This has nothing to do with Miranda. You don't have to ride in an airplane. If you want to, you have to agree to certain conditions. Same if I enter the courthouse here, go through a metal detector and I can't take my pocketknife. Or a gun for that matter. And they may search my stuff. If I don't like it, I don't go inside.
What we need is competition. Honestly, if some airline ran their own unsecured part of the airport, didn't do screenings (or minimal screenings) and allowed the luggage to be locked, I would fly them every single time.

Sorry, Jim, that train left the station back in the 90's, if not earlier.
I have five Macs here with macports installed, plus another server that I administer. Oddly, I don't have the inexplicable problems anywhere.
No offense, but if you're having trouble installing postgresql and django/python on mac os x via macports, you're misunderstanding something...
1.2 kW per household? A hair dryer eats more than this.
And you run yours 24/7?
Yeah, nothing like this happened under Communism...

Search for "carrier lost" here on /. and you'll know what I mean.
And, yes, I dialed into plenty of bbs's with and without error correction.
Or around here: "you've got questions, we've got blank stares"
We used to use: "you've got questions, hey, so do we!"
So, "you've got questions, to freaking bad"?

when they find the moon landing was a hoax and they're the first ones there.
Of course, maybe they're in bed with NASA, who'll let them use the same sound stage where they filmed the apollo landing, and it'll be a double hoax!
"It fails to solve a problem that doesn't exist."
I can't remember where I read that, but it sums up the entire thing perfectly...

This is a civil case, there's no guilt or innocence or presumption of innocence.
Did you notice my scare quotes? I wanted to put "charitable" in scare quotes, too, but thought it would be overdoing it.
Anyway, to the others, he's absolutely right.

As if he's had it off in the last 10 years.

Try googling "Kent State" from your computer here in the US. Now, try googling "Tianamen Square" from China.
Any differences?
