Pray tell, what ARE the qualifications needed for the presidency? Be specific.
* be a natural-born citizen of the United States; * be at least thirty-five years old; * have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.
His crime was really using another's work as the cornerstone for his own product.
They can't even claim that much. It's not his product. It's something that was made in China, that he's reselling. You can get them on Amazon for crying out loud. But, as others have pointed out, this guy is an easy target.
Sounds good, but I think the estimate was that there's at least 10,000 federal laws -- and so no single person could possibly know them all.
Even if proving perjury is `priceless'. (And really, it wouldn't prove perjury. The cop would just say `I guess I was mistaken. My bad.' Though he probably wouldn't even say that.)
The Constitution applies to any individual on U.S. soil, not just citizens.
I'd go a bit further and say any individual subject to U.S. jurisdiction/custody/authority/influence/power-to-fuck-you-over, whether on U.S. soil or not.
Check out the last pic on this page. There is a crossfire connector on the top right edge of the card, much like the 3870x2 which can crossfire 2 boards.
Now here's another possiblity. If a practical power suit is possible, why not issue every soldier a robotic mule to carry his stuff, or possibly even him?
This is sort of like a a robotic mule. OK, it looks more like a headless dog, but still...
Same here, also with my grandparents. But even at lukewarm, it was still better then the otherwise really cold water that came out of the rooftop storage tanks.
Solid Yellow- A yellow signal light means "CAUTION." The red signal is about to appear. When you see the yellow light, stop if you can do so safely. If you can't stop safely, enter the intersection cautiously.
...although even 50 years would public domain some stuff that's still making the creators money.
But that's just it, ip holders will always claim they're still making money with their ip, and continue to lobby for extensions. The line has to be drawn somewhere.
Fer chrissakes, can you imagine a world where really smart people were given parades, free sports cars, millions of dollars and celebrity makeovers just for being smrt?
If they scaled the art by 50% in each dimension, the DS screen would show approximately the same area as the original game did. I only briefly played Starcraft, and at that back when it was fairly new, so I don't know if the original art is large enough to make that a feasible option.
Starcraft wasn't exactly hi-res to begin with. It ran at a resolution of 640 x 480, the ds has 2 screens at 256 x 192. I'm sure it's doable.
But how bright it looks affects the blink response. Part of the reason IR lasers are so dangerous is that you can't see them, so the blink response is totally inhibited, and the iris of the eye doesn't attempt to close at all in response to what is dangerously bright light.
I understand all of this, still non of which contradicts what Jah-Wren Ryel said.
There is may be some confusion in the way he said it though:
The green lasers LOOK stronger because the human eye is more sensitive to green. But it is the power level that causes damage, not how bright it looks. Else, infra-red lasers, being completely invisible to the human eye, would not be dangerous at all.
this may have been better said this way:
The green lasers LOOK stronger because the human eye is more sensitive to green. But it is the power level that causes damage, not how bright it looks. *[Or] else, infra-red lasers, being completely invisible to the human eye, would not be dangerous at all, *[which in fact are quite dangerous].
What I got from his post is that trying to gauge how dangerous a laser is by it's brightness or inferring it has more power than a dimmer laser isn't always going to work, precisely because there are lasers out there that can't be seen by the unaided eye.
Absolutely positively not true. Laser sources that emit a non-visible beam fall in class IIIR, class IIIB or class IV which are the worst eye hazards regardless of power. ANSI Z136.1 specifies that non-visible class IIIR or higher laser beams must be enclosed to prevent laser radiation exposure to non-trained personnel.
I work around exposed class IV CO2 10600nm laser beams capable of putting out 100 watts (that's watts, not mW) of power. The beam is invisible to the human eye yet it is capable of cutting metal. "Not dangerous at all" is a serious understatement.
I think you missed this part of Jah-Wren Ryel's statement:
But it is the power level that causes damage, not how bright it looks.
Yep. If you're out shooting your guns, and accidentally shoot someone because you didn't bother to make sure the area you were shooting at was clear of people, you're entirely liable for that. It doesn't matter if it was an "accident"
This immediately jumped to mind. My flatmate discovered that if you put the game CD into a CD player, it would play the soundtrack. It was pretty novel at the time, and had some neat, catchy string music.
This also works for the pre-bnet edition of Warcraft 2, which I also like. I also like the Starcraft soundtrack. I'm also partial to the Simcity 4 soundtrack.
"Illegal combatants have no rights. And yes, that is spelled out in the Geneva Convention. Look it up."
Not so fast. Article 5 of the third Geneva Convention is quite clear: "Should any doubt arise as to whether persons, having committed a belligerent act and having fallen into the hands of the enemy, belong to any of the categories enumerated in Article 4, such persons shall enjoy the protection of the present Convention until such time as their status has been determined by a competent tribunal."
Furthermore, where they have no rights under the Geneva Conventions, they do have rights under municipal and international law. The relevant quote:
"Once a combatant is found by a competent tribunal to be an unlawful combatant, he or she no longer has the rights and privileges accorded to a prisoner of war (POW), but he retains all the rights any other civilian would have under municipal and international law in the same situation." from here

This is where single use credit card numbers come in handy.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Well, that's what they tell us anyway. They'd probably say it wasn't "with unlawful intent".
I'd go a bit further and say any individual subject to U.S. jurisdiction/custody/authority/influence/power-to-fuck-you-over, whether on U.S. soil or not.

Sledge Hammer method indeed.

Correct, but only to a point. Here's a bit from the California Driver Handbook:
Solid Yellow- A yellow signal light means "CAUTION." The red signal is about to appear. When you see the yellow light, stop if you can do so safely. If you can't stop safely, enter the intersection cautiously.
will it be enough for my Canyonero?
Dude, they'll obviously use recycled paper.

Sure can. Sliders, episode 7.

You would think so, but apparently not.

Everything you described reminds me of William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy.
I'm sorry my mod points expired yesterday, because I would mod up this post myself.
It would be nice if this could be viewed via Google Earth. And if it has been done, sorry, the article is slashdotted.
