It's entirely possible that the tickets that the judge let stand were for violators traveling considerably faster, or had evidence of braking in the photos (the photos were taken 50ft past the speed trap).
The ACLU is asking about is the process by which the US government decides that someone is a valid target. I think that pretty much everyone agrees that if someone is an enemy combatant (i.e. carrying weapons or attacking friendly forces) they are fair game. The question becomes what happens when the target is a) not in an area of active operations b)not engaged in armed conflict and c)a US citizen.
Lets take a hypothetical case of a US citizen operating in Yemen who the US government believes to be funding AQ. Is it legal for the president to order the US military to kill this person? It would pretty clearly be illegal to summarily execute them if they were operating out of New Jersey, but frankly is Yemen any different?
People look down on the south because it was their own damn fault. The big difference between the revolutionary war and the civil war was the fact the could vote. In the revolutionary war the colonies(USA) had absolutely zero representation in parliament. At the start of the civil war the south had 66 representatives in congress (~28%) and 22 out the 66 senators.
Also, be aware that the reasons for succession outlined by South Carolina had nothing to do with tariffs or taxes. The stated reasons were:
a) some northern states were refusing to follow the fugitive slave act.
b) the federal government was poking it's nose into the slavery question, and the south didn't think it belonged there.
c) The president elect was anti-slavery.
In short, the south backed an economic strategy which limited it's political clout and when whining about it stopped working they started a war.
Hey, don't be so pessimistic.
According to the bureau of Labor statistics there were 759,200 lawyers practicing in the US in 2008. Let's call it 800,000 for nice number. Then lets assume it takes 100 ft of chain per lawyer. Chain costs about $5.87 per foot from mcmaster carr, but lets call it $6.00 per foot including hardware.
So $600 per lawyer gives us $480,000,000 in costs, assuming volunteer labor. The US is currently spending about 65 billion per year on the war in Afganistan, or about 170 million per day.
So if the US moves the pull out date up by 3 days we save enough money to chain all of the lawyers to the bottom of the sea floor.
NB: I may be significantly underestimating the costs, but even if I'm of by an order of magnitude, that's still less than a month of war-fighting.
The standard of proff required for deportation is different from the standard of proof required for conviction. It's similar to how conspiracy charges are easier to prosecute than the crime itself.
Sufficient pressure and flow rate. I would suggest using some termites to construct a small riser above your ant hole, so you get some pressure build up. Don't forget to heat your aluminum to it pouring temperature (~1380 F) rather than it's melting temperature. The decreased viscosity increases flow rate (compare pouring molasses and water down funnels) and well as allowing the aluminum to travel further before solidifying.
A condom is not 100% safe, it reduces the odds of getting STDs with 85% (only staying in your mom's basement with the doors locked from in- & outside is).
Would you mind mind pointing to where in that 49 page report the 85% number came up?
The only numbers I could find were in the.4-2.3% failure range, which is quite different from the 15% you're quoting.
And what do you suppose will happen if MS doesn't move? Foreign competition that isn't subject to a crushing corporate tax will then have an advantage over MS. You don't move your labor base because you want to, you do it because if you don't, your competition will. It has nothing to do with greed (a favorite word of the class warfare monger) and everything to do with how the world works in a global labor market.
What competition? There are no foreign OS publishers and no foreign office analogs. In terms of search engines, Microsoft is competing against Google, yahoo and maybe wolfram, all of which are based in the US. All of the browser alternatives are either free or based in the US. In fact, the only industry where Microsoft has foreign competition is in the video games market, where prices are essentially fixed (all games cost $60.00) and so labor costs only determine profit, not competitiveness.
My impression was that the term were a behind a hyperlink which was out of sight when you checked the "I agree" button. It's similar to voiding a contract that has terms after the space for you signature.
We know the climate is going to change, the question is now how much is it going to change?
If we stop all human green house gas emissions now (last year actually) the average global temperature will increase by roughly 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century. If we maintain our current level of green house gas emissions for the next 100 years we should see an increase of 9 degrees. If we bring India and China up to western emissions levels it'll be 12 degrees.
The guy is being accused of a lot of things, but the only evidence provided is from his room mate (the one he outed). Having read the warrant it sounds like the room mate threw the kitchen sink at him, accusing him of:
-using stolen laptops
-having "hundreds" of illegally downloaded movies and songs
-being a hacker
-jail breaking iphones
-altering other people computers so that illegal files would be hidden (I'm not sure what this even means, the closest I can come is that he set up partition on other students computers)
-telling his roomates about all the systems he's hacked into
-Changing grades.
Frankly it's ridiculous that they got this search warrant based on one morons testimony.
hmmm...the numbers I've head bandied around are a little higher for coal, more like 40% without adding a second stage. 60% Sounds right if you're doing combined stage.
The maximum theoretical efficiency for any heat-based power generation is a function of the temperature differential (1- Tcold/Thot). Larger power plants can deal with operating at higher maximum temperatures than any sort of small power station could. It should also be noted that the type of power generation has a lot to do with efficiency, nuclear and coal fired plants are typically more efficient than diesel turbines.
NASA has been spending quite a bit of money recently on dust issues. Apparently in low-g situations dust stays suspended in the air for quite some time and consequently develops an static charge. NASA currently has a design for an electromagnetic dust wiper which is basically a array of wires under a surface (like a solar panel) which are electrified in sequence to push the dust around.
There are some issues with power draw and scalability, but my guess is that they will be using some sort of electro-magnetic device to remove dust in upcoming missions.
There isn't much of a chance this attack could have been forged.... Their VP admitted that they had been mucking around with R3's bit torrent, which R3 apparently stopped just before the DoS attack started. The only point of contention seems to be exactly how many packets MediaDefender was sending, R3 says up to 8000/sec while the VP of MediaDefender says one every three to four hours.
Now it's possible that there was a 3rd party somewhere in there forging packet headers and inflating the number of packets sent, but that seems unlikely.

Yes. It does. See the first amendment.

Last I heard people are using the term 'pharaoh' to refer to Egypt as a dodge around this restriction.

I believe they are using a triangle because a triangle is the most efficient way of connecting 3 points (i.e. the 3 grids).
The deference is between "beyond a reasonable doubt" and "clear and convincing".

There's currently some good work being done to develop an algae based jet fuel. Also what about wind?

Because the Taliban specifically told the Times that they would kill him if it were reported?

You're confusing power with Power. One is in units of watt-hours, and the other is in terms of watts.
