The article states that the act has only been used in 3 different types of cases. One of which is "child indecency" - presumably child pornography. Another "domestic extremism" which I read as a euphemism for "honour killings" or something along those lines and lastly terrorism which again I shorthanded as "blowing people up" rather than including the possibilites of use of biological agents, or taking out power supply or any myriad of other possibilities. These are still all things that I'm glad warrant investigation in the country I live in.
My wording could perhaps have been clearer but reading the article would have aided your comprehension.
From your other in-thread post: Why you think that terror activities committed by environmentalists shouldn't warrant police intervention I can't readily imagine, unless you're involved with such groups?
Yeah those bastards, trying to stop children from being abused, people from being battered and the general populus from being blown up. What are they thinking.
I wonder in how many of the cases the guys at GCHQ could crack the encryption but weren't allowed to let on.
I don't forget to say those three special words: "I am sorry." I'm amazed at how many people in this world have trouble saying they are sorry even when they know they are clearly wrong. (This applies in all relationships, not just marriage.)
In marriage you have to be prepared to say sorry when you are clearly right too.
The point is that there are some rights/privileges than can Not be given-away via contract, because the U.S. laws supercede the contract. One of those rights is copyright.
Nope still sounds like bunkum. It's pretty standard practice for companies to make declarations in contracts about them assuming right to your intellectual property produced while you're at work (or using any resources of the business). As you say there are some rights they can't claim, moral rights (right to be named as author &c.) and also in many jurisdictions the author of the work can't be ripped off, they must be fairly compensated.
Sexual harassment is criminal, not tortuous like copyright infringement.

I mean that seriouslI did go on a trip to Oklahoma some years back where kids would actually ask if they could watch me use "the magic money machine," but those were children in a VERY small town, the machines were a novelty in many larger areas, and the kids in question were about 6-8 years old.

3. Now somehow get this sucker added to Turn-it-in's database. Maybe you wrote the paper as a thesis and the prof needs to check it. Whatever.

Is it. You make it at their behest and give it to them. Unless you apply licensing terms surely they're entitled to do as they please with it within the usual confines of the law.
Of course you don't have to give it them if you feel it's worth more to you in some other way.

Do "Federal Consumer Protection laws" really specify that a teacher can't make a copy of your term paper ?
If you're talking skin tone then very pale skin is preferred (or was in the past) in cultures where a lot of the population have to work outdoors. Working outdoors usually makes your skin darker. Being pale therefore is a symbol of wealth and oppulence - you don't need to work in the fields with the hoi-poloi.
This usually applies more to females but certainly in the past has been true for males too.
In the UK, in common with other western cultures this trend has flipped as most of the population work inside and having darker skin tones indicates you're wealthy enough to afford holidays [abroad] and not be stuck inside all the time.
As for the other anime stylings, huge eyes and what not, I've never seen anyone who looks like that. Asian girls often appear to me to have large eyes I gather it's an illusion.
Indeed, however afaict centos is a volunteer project. When the shit hits the fan in more important aspects of someones life then such volunteer projects become the last thing on someones mind. Hell for all we know he could be dead or hospitalised.

It would be unbiased if it said "there is no evidence in our study to support selection of one of the studied methods of production over the other on the basis of nutritional value alone".
Saying that there's no evidence to support choosing organic production is biased. They're showing there's no evidence to support non-organic methods too.
I've not read the study (!) but I wonder which level of organic classification they allowed. The lowest levels of foods classed or labelled organic are probably outside the definition of organic that most people would apply - like the way cheap pork sausage is outside most peoples definition of "pork".
Cox -> Takes his ball and goes home, except in this case, it is OSS so he doesn't really take any ball with him. He just leaves.
He leaves us his ball to play with.

Also, doors should be always pulled when you go in and pushed when you go out.
Because everyone likes to be smashed in the face with a door when they walk down the corridor or along a pavement?
If your main door pushes out (probably applies to student accommodation most!) you can't barricade it but you can be stockaded in.
Pushing with a handle is more comfortable as it allows for more natural rotation of the wrist, particularly with heavier doors.
You can pull the door to as well [to too!] if it has a handle on the pushed side, plus you can usually use the handles to secure a pair of doors closed (eg with rope or a plank).
