That was the justification for expelling a couple kids who held up a sign that said something like "Jesus smokes pot" at a school parade or something. I don't remember the details, so I can't cite the case, but it should turn up on a search for free speech in school court cases.
But it will help to have the actual text, which was "BONG HiTS 4 JESUS" (with many nonsensical interpretations, but "Jesus smokes pot" isn't one I'd assign).
Well, I'm glad he's got something to make him feel better, but I'm not sure that even a.45 is going to slow down a bear much. As for the RV door, I don't think that'd necessarily slow down something like a grizzly much
You shoot the door's window and dive in, removing the question of whether or not is locked.
IIRC the reason for burying the waste CO2 is that it gets absorbed by the surrounding rocks and converted into harmless minerals.... Someone with more geological expertise than I have will have to explain that, though.
Geological? Try alchemical. Carbon doesn't transmute to other elements to form new non-carbon minerals. Mineralize carbon and you get slate, coal, or diamond.
Better to have a living process rebind that carbon with hydrogen into useful biochemicals and free up the oxygen for later recombustion.
The media pays no attention to the state legislature. It's like they don't even exist.
Try watching something other than the national media... like your local media. You do have local news media, don't you?
State Senator Ernie Chambers of Nebraska's Unicameral made local Nebraska state news fairly often, and sometimes even national media (sued God). He was forced out of office due to the passage of a state constitution amendment establishing term limits.
I'm not a member of Bob Barr's party, but I approve of his suit. (I also voted for the earlier story on the Firehose about the Democrats and Republicans missing this deadline, but it didn't make it to the front page.)
However I expect it to become another "Constitutional Emergency" like what got GWB elected the first time and the law set aside on the basis that there needs to be at least two candidates on the ballot. (Nevermind how many people run unopposed for positions across the nation, including that "because its a fun thing to do" congressman.)
BTW, I've never seen the first page of a thread be so short, at only 11 postings when browsing at zero before my making of this post, using Slashdot Classic.
Nope. I've only used their search engines. No plug-ins, no applications, no applets, no GMail, no Google Calendar, nothing that prompted me to agree to anything before proceeding.
Indeed, DVDs have an access barrier, but that does not prevent copying. You can copy the encrypted data all you want with nothing to prevent you from doing so. It's when you want to access the content that you need to decrypt it.
A software DVD player with a DeCSS algorithm built-in can play an encrypted DVD stored on a DVD-R even without the CSS key area burned with the appropriate keys.
Because the style rule that says textarea { width 99%; } is missing in the idle stylesheet, so it's only sizing according to the cols="50" attribute, and that's rather narrow for a non-monospace font.
I'm still working on a client-side rule to fix it. form[action=//idle.slashdot.org/comments.pl] #postercomment { width: 99% ! important } used to work but doesn't anymore.
Another thing to fix is the lack of double-spacing between paragraphs in Preview. They come out fine once Submitted, but cause frustration when they don't come out in Preview.
Parallax sensors to detect the depth of the magnets under the pavement. Also check frequency of detected magnets against speedometer in case a magnet was lost due to pothole development. Too many missed magnets or technical failure and the system stops the bus until manual control is authenticated and enabled.
So you consider stealing to be branded not stealing, when it becomes voluntary. It's like rape. If one person complies it isn't rape.
Well, if I didn't want my virginity and would have had to pay someone to take it away....
(If one particular person complies. Or are you suggesting there's such a thing as a non-consenting rapist?)
BTW, I checked a few dictionaries and only saw force as a required element in one, and that for the definition of stealing one's liberty. In others it was just an optional element.

"somebody parked a truck on our internet"
That would put a big crimp in the tubes.

The mystery was that while the winter cap is symmetrical about the south pole, the residual cap was offset, and scientists couldn't figure out why."
You're trying to make us read the fine article, aren't you!

The next in sequence after guns and knives is awls.
In the US, we've already banned flying awls (lawn darts).
Long Live the Lords of COBOL.
CO2 is this pushy, likes-to-go-everywhere kind of stuff.
Well, at least in a common unheated and unstirred air mixture it likes to go down.

Does that mean that we can rearrange them any way we like? XBMC == XMBC == XCBM == XCMB == MBCX == CXMB == CMXB == BMXC ad naseum?
"Ad nauseum"? Remind me never to get on a Tilt-a-Whirl with you. There are only 24 permutations.
Indeed, I can think of far more critical tasks for which a robot is suited.
For instance, some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.
You don't own it.... you own a license to view what's on the disk. See how they get you there.
I've never seen an "I Agree" button on any of my DVDs.

Indeed, I recall that the DMCA specifically prohibited trafficking in the tools, but not their creation or use.
I hadn't considered when reading the law whether offering circumvention as a service was covered.
So it's not a blue screen of death, it's just the leap effect?
Then again, maybe the user chose his name after the Irish playwright.

I can't open the wayback machine link from a child of that posting in Firefox 3.0:

Next, consider exploitation of the bus directly.

So I guess the art lebedev Optimus Keyboard would be right out.
the United States is not and never was a democracy.
I demonstrate my point 1 one very simple exercise. Say the Pledge of Allegiance.
FYI, The Pledge of Allegiance didn't exist before Francis Bellamy wrote it August 1892. It originally read thus:
I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
If someone came into your house, stole your TV and gave it to charity, would you thank him?
If I no longer wanted it and would have had to pay someone else to take it away, yes.
Yeah, well, I don't think I'll take to washing my hands with Behr Ultra White Flat Interior paint under florescent or UV lighting any time soon.
