Huh, funny. I never said anything about the legitimacy of medical marijuana. All I spoke of was the political wisdom in trying to explain a complicated political stance to a sympathetic patient. As far as the laws of what you an and can't do with your body; of course the law can do this. It does it all the time; I mean suicide is illegal in numerous states for God's sake. Talk about an unenforceable law. They outlaw drug use, sodomy laws are on the books in some states still. The list goes on and on about those laws which don't infringe on others. The fact that you do not acknowledge their right does not mean that they have no right. That said, this doesn't mean that I agree with those laws I am just telling you how it is.
You actually fell for that plant? Lets, for the sake of argument take the position that this is actually an ill person. What exactly was he supposed to say? He stated that he didn't support medical marijuana. Beyond that, besides trying to make a federalist argument that it isn't the president that would arrest him but the state government he is pretty much SOL. It would be no different than if someone who had a child die at 23 weeks going in and demanding that (insert pro-life candidate) justify there position that a baby at that stage isn't a baby/real life but only a fetus who can be aborted. Politically inconvenient situations that these candidates are going to avoid because all positions, no matter how good the intention, have collateral damage and innocent victims. It is just plain dumb to keep yourself in those situations when you don't have to be.
it seems that this is the cost of production, not the cost to the consumer. If we are selling it a buck a gallon from the pump after the inclusion of taxes, then I am interested. Until then, please use my corn for good uses such as the syrup in my Mt. Dew like God intended.
*Sigh* I am telling you what the courts hold, not my opinion. They arrest you for pot and that gives them a reason to search you to double check that you don't have a weapon, make sure they have all the drugs etc. This is the nature of the search incident to arrest. I am not saying that they don't need probable cause for the ARREST, what I am saying is what they have done that they then can search you incident to the arrest founded on that previous legitimate arrest.
Quiet, your going to ruin everything! Don't you know that geeks like to pretend that they know the law too!?! Actual law will prevent the bloviating. Oh slashdot, I kid because I love.
but there is NOTHING ILLEGAL mentioned here. This is a civil trial, not criminal. The acts may be found illegal later in Ritz's later criminal trial, but that remains to be seen. Also, the issue is a question of whether Ritz was authorized to do the DNS request. The DNS request is legal for the administrators without problem. Obviously, the issue of Ritz's requests is worth debating.
The article summary is horrible, as is the linked article. But, the linked blog entry has yet another link which gives the whole opinion as well as some more informed commentary. For those that want to be informed before spewing, I would suggest checking it out. (for the the other 99% of slashdotters, please feel free to ignore this at will).
First off, as has been said, he is not "guilty" of anything. The judge is just issuing the opinion that he lied when he said he only went by David Ritz on the internet while in fact he used other aliases such as Bastard Operator From Hell.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the withholding of communion. The Church doesn't forbid politicians who don't toe the line, they forbid giving communion to those in a condition of mortal sin. The reason being is that it is considered blasphemous. The church would equally refuse giving communion to a murderer, rapist, etc if they had not confessed. The question is the sin, not the politics. In this case, the politicians are seen as acting in a way which directly ends a human life. Why split hairs? Because to say that it is for not agreeing with the Church position which causes the result equates into a person being denied communion for what they believe. The church is denying it for their ACTIONS (votes, etc) which continue the death of the unborn.
Note, I am not here to argue the merits of whether a child is a person at what point, I am just trying to point out the distinction between beliefs and acts as it relates to the nature of sin and their consequence to the sacraments.
No, because the fundamental church teaching is that humans were in the ideal state even when we were less evolved. In otherwords, Adam and Eve were the ideal human form even if they were Neanderthal. As humans change to specialize for the world around them, this is just adaptation. It isn't us moving toward an ideal state. The teaching isn't that God controls the evolution, but that he created the system of evolution within which humans evolve. To analogize, God is the coder who creates Grand Theft Auto, it isn't his role to control what you do in the game. It is good enough that he created the game. To have him control what you do (or how we evolve) pretty much adds up to a weird form that resembles scientific Calvinism (which is clearly not the Catholic view of things).
DK on the Colecovision. I wanted to play as the monkey. This was a great system to grow up on, ton of fun games and great graphics. The one thing that I seems so strange now is that we only played for an hour or two (tops) at a time! We still played outside. I wonder if that is because of the pickup and play nature of those games versus the new games which take 50 hours to complete and completely envelope the person...
Immediately, it strikes me that Apple will create context specfic layouts. The machine will know when you are playing quake, or using garage band (or whatever) and give you the correct keyboard layout automatically. I am not sure if Optimus was set up to do this already, but it seems like an obvious choice for Apple who controls both the hardware and software.
My install as relatively smooth. It did seem to stall on reboot after install so I did a force shutdown, but it restarted with no problems. Once I turned off safesleep, my system has been fast and very responsive.
Pretty damn awsome! The landing can be seen as well; he makes it look easy. The wings fold up and he simply parachutes down like its nothing. I was more shocked when I saw him simply jumping out of a plan with a giant pair of wings on his back; scary stuff.
My concern is about the inclusion of opinion pieces with the news. Often I hear the last second of a news article on the radio and want to figure out what it is talking about. If I do a google news search, I am then flooded with blog opinion pieces about, for example, the fact that bush is indeed hitler. It would be nice if we could at limit or remove certain sources from our news searches.
I am more concerned with the over inclusion of "news" sites. The news feature on Google has been flooeded with blogs and other "new" media sources. I enjoy reading blogs, but they are often so scewed to the blogger's opinion that they need some additional context. I realize that mainstream media is often accused of bias as well, but at least I know who those stations are. The news feature is useless to me if I need to get past 200 blogs to find one legitimate source.
Right, but you are missing the point. If he made that case, all mp3 players can use this system. Jobs paid 100 million so that only Apple and Creative have this system (exception- other companies that license iti from creative).

I was a computer science major for 3 years, but was always taking classes outside teh department "for fun". Half of my profs were non-native speakers which made difficult subjects even more difficult. For example, a friend of mine went an entire semester of assembly trying to figure out what the hell a regis was. The professor was simply referring to registers, but never bothered pronouncing the whole word.
In computer architecture, the book came with a cd full of power point review slides. Because the prof couldn't converse in English, she just read the slides offered by the CD. OK, great. But when you don't get what the book is talking about, the review slides/therefore class notes are in the direct language of the book, and the professor can't converse in English-- you are screwed.
My point isn't that CS profs have accents. My point is, Universities aren't hiring based on teaching skills and the students pay for it. I don't need fluent speakers, but I do need someone who can explain difficult concepts in understandable terms.

Yeah, but being arrested is what gives probable cause.

Best post on this subject, too bad people won't bother to read it...
Crossbows and Catapults is available (see http://www.amazon.com/Battleground%253a-Crossbows-Catapults-Chest-Starter/dp/B000NPSVEO for one EXPENSIVE place to buy it...)

Last I heard, it was being dumped. Anyone want to give some info on when they changed their mind re. the hubble's fate?

That is become some people are just so darn happy to use those embryonic stem cells. There is something sexy about turning babies into new lungs.

The Joystiq article is a slightly different story that states it has shipped since July. Umm, RT(other?)FA

Considering a tivo box is typically going for about $50 after rebate, I am not sure that the trade off is all that big...
