Seems like laws and bills and crap should logically go through the Supreme Court *before* being enacted...
NO. Absolutely not. That would be the exact equivalent of giving the supreme court the power to enact law, which is not its job. Executive branch creates laws, all the judicial branch does is see if its constatutional. That's It. Any jurisdiction can create a law, its then up to the local courts to make sure those laws are allowable under the local ordances. They get pushed up the chain as they get challeneged. That's the say its supposed to be. If we start circumventing that process you clear the way for a totalitarian beuracracy to start creating laws without any way to challenge them. No, the process is just fine, thank you for your input.
...the booming roar of a TIE Fighter looming for the kill. Its always amazed me that a space craft could be so LOUD IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE, where no sound can actually travel. But then Star Wars would have lost much of its grandeur.
"Hello Mr President. We have a warrant for your arrest here. Please follow these men.".
Sovereigns and assorted world leaders have highest dilomatic immunity possible, well over ambassadors. Arresting Obama, say, for murder, even if the arresting country had a roomful of witnesses and a gun with his finger prints, would be treated as a declaration of war. Not happening. Worst case he'd be kicked out of the country and formal protests lodged, perhaps expellation of the US ambassador.
Walled Garden... heh heh heh. Giving Fido the man-slaughtering hell hound the abilty to doff his collar doesn't mean he's safely secured up either. A walled garden is not an "opt-in" feature. Install from other sources is just that, freedom.
You've opened the window on a PRIVATE plane, and at low altitude. Or in some Eastern European budget crackpot "airline"; You CANNOT open the window on a modern commercial US airliner. Even so, having just watched the Romney gaff, a few comments. It doesn't look to me like Romney is joking, on the other hand, it doesn't look like a studious, contemplative comment either. Romney, whatever he is, is not a guy who needs to be aware of how windows on a modern airliner work. Ok, he's stupid, I get that. But this isn't an indicator of how stupid he is. Its an indicator of how careless he is about everyday crap, just like 90% of the public. He doesn't really need to know precisiely how airliner windows work, so he doesn't. Ask him anything about money and I bet he could tell you a few things that Obama couldn't. Torvalds is out of line here.
Ran sw first in the mid 90's... ran away for quite a few years... then landed on Debian about 2006 or so... then Ubuntu, and now on Mint for the last 2 years. See, its not about increasing complexity, but less...
I read books on my Moto Droid X2. Yeah, its a little small, but it works for me and I'm not buying fifty different devices for tasks that are little more than variations on a theme.
I guess its me, but I'm just not bothered by a guy looking for targeted votes. Yes, I suppose the government machine he works in could grab the list. But a guy looking for gay votes? Old votes? Asian votes, diabled, veterens, obtuse people, oblong peole... Not so much.
Linux. Kidding. I'm surprised no one chimed up with that "solution" yet. Actually, MSE is going to be your best value. I used Avira for years until just in the last few they started hammering me with popups. But seriously. I'm a linux guy, only use windows when I have to. I just don't worry about virii on Linux.
In my religion, Toiletism, we pray to toilets. Anyone who blashemes by using sacred toilets as waste recepticles needs to be dealt with. We're going to the UN...
About 10,000 years ago the inland valleys of Egypt were incredibly productive
The Nile basin and its tributaries remain some of the most fertile land in the world producing vast amounts of grain, dates, and other dry goods, and this hasn't changed for thousands of years. What does constantly change is the political climate of the region, regional conflict disupts the distribution of the Nile Delta output, affecting Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia, and really the whole of north Aftrica. Border wars perpetuate blight in the region, and have for thousands of years, mismanagement and global warming have had a much lesser impact than the region's political climate. plus a drought that affected every country in the region except Egypt didn't help.
I was under the impression that the United States practiced secret voting as specified under the Bill of Rights or the Constitution but apparently its just a method, it was known as "Australian Voting" in the 1800's, and its not specified under any of our foundation documents, as far as I can tell. Should be I think. I can't envision a strong democracy without it. Its been practiced here in all the jurisdictions I've ever voted in.

Given how fast and loose the other networks are as well, not really.

You get the choice of a walled garden or not...

So one wonders what the effect would be of using a more pure form of carbon.
Agreed. Apple is so keen to cut their tether to Google they cut the customer's throats, "Kudos" to Apple for admitting they're wrong? Please...
Do any of them have a sense of humor?

No, not at all.

mfw a box of windows 8 for a gift...
wouldn't doubt it.
Thats a window in the cockpit. Show me a US airliner that allows passengers to open their windows. Or do you just like to be a dick?
I've opened the window on a plane.

Just another reason to avoid red meat, which I've been doing for the last 10 years anyway.
