    I have two T40s. They're that old they have non-PAE processors, I had to use live-build to make a respin of Kali for them when XP support ended. One doesn't boot at all and the other has an intermittent backlight. They're scheduled for surgery next week.

  4. I think you're right. Otherwise Scotty would never be able to do something in 37 seconds when it should take four days; he'd still be trying to debug some obscure race condition (the shields just willnae come up, cap'n!) and decipher some binary log as the nearby sun goes supernova.

    How can SCOTUS take something out of context? It's impossible by definition.

    You seems to be confusing how the law *is* with how you think it *should be*. You're certainly entitled to that opinion, but yours carries no weight; SCOTUS' does.

    Seems to me you have a case if, and only if, the information reported is wrong (and the burden of proof for that would be on you).

    No it wouldn't. That would require proving a negative.
