Except Constitutional rights are for anyone we put in a court of law. Proof positive can be found when we try smugglers who are citizens of another country; they STILL get the use of our Constitution regardless of their current citizenship. Same goes for immigrants who have yet to attain citizenship, etc.
OR is your point that the Constitution is only for white folks?
No, I hate that they're terrorists and that many/most of them probably are guilty BUT they're also human, and if they happened to be completely innocent of any crime then I don't want any of their blood or suffering on my conscience. I don't know if you've noticed but even U.S. citizens get jailed for crimes they didn't commit.
While I'm sure you think you're being clever, in this instance absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Just because I can't find evidence of a platypus outside my house does not prove that no platypuses(platypae?) exist on the planet. The mere fact that the page you referenced singles out probability theory as the exception should have been enough to figure out that maybe your assertion has limited application.
Sorry to reply so late. Well I can't find any information backing up my assertion and every single prosecutor's office in the U.S. has the exact(and I mean EXACT, minus state name, etc.) same cookie-cutter template for "I am the victim, can I drop charges" question on their website so either the template is legit or else there are a lot of retarded prosecutors. I wish I could remember where I initially heard this but it was probably over 20 years ago in high school.
The State brings the charges, because the state is the "victim." That's why the individual doesn't get to decide whether or not charges are filed, or have the final say in punishment.
As far as I know, that is only true for commonwealths because the commonwealth is supposed to take over those kinds of decisions for the greater good for all...or something like that.
Ok, rather than play on the specific term that a court of law would call "murder", how about a generic 'homicide'? They don't need intent to commit that and yet I haven't seen Firestone/Bridgestone or Ford brought up on charges for their actions, or lack thereof.
and after that experience I learned - NEVER get a Dell.
I don't avoid Dell *hardware* since it's fairly decent stuff but I don't expect remotely decent support from them if I buy one either and I only call about hardware/warranty issues so no worries there for me.
Did you miss the part where the Unites States was involved in the Patriot Act? I don't know if you noticed but the way we bomb^H^H^H^Hcompel other countries to do our bidding doesn't have to have anything whatsoever to do with the Patriot Act, though that'll be the excuse for certain.
That was NOT the assertion of the parent and thus I find your statement to be quite off-topic for the thread and since you obviously weren't modded up, obviously others agree. The discussion at hand was not about the overall freedom but whether someone could make a living from GPL software.
My motherboard, even though it could run Vista well, doesn't support over 2GB of memory anyway, making this a non-issue.
I don't get the backup point you made but I don't rely on M$ to handle my archives either.
I don't let Windows handle my wifi connections so I don't have that problem either.
Overall, none of those are compelling enough to make me want to use Vista. Other than the memory support, in my case anyway, everything could be added as third party software so I'm not impressed.
They don't mean the *end* users of a company but the company itself gets the choice. Sheesh, do you get a new job and then tell the boss that you don't feel like using the version of Win2k they have and instead you are going to use WinME? Good luck with that approach.
That's the big one, isn't it. They have been exposed to these frequencies for decades at this point but it's just now that the loons come out to say they're being affected by a few specific applications of those frequencies. They didn't even know they existed until wifi came along but that didn't keep wifi from becoming the scapegoat for their mental illness.
You must have missed where he also has had his credit report poisoned so badly that they now report his DOB around 1943 or so and that there are no less than 5 drivers licenses in his name in various states of the country. I would not call that a success in any regard.
His identity was stolen pretty quickly after he started advertising his SSN. I read elsewhere that his credit is sooo screwed up that the major agencies report his DOB as around 1943 or something and that there have been no less than 5 drivers licenses issued under his identity in various states. That doesn't sound like it remotely did what it was supposed to.
That's not so easy. Video inputs are required(and not standard on machines that slow) and some LCD's don't work that easily due to the length of ribbon cables, etc., and you won't discover it until after you've disassembled them.
I remember a similar problem with Alcohol 120% a few years back. Only solution was to enter the recovery shell and overwrite the file after removing protection. Occurred after reinstalls or service pack upgrades. I don't know if they ever fixed it as I never really liked it that much in the first place and once I was up and running, I removed it.
Absolutely. The current technology where they scan your package at every location is ineffective at best since the barcode has to be facing upward for them to be guaranteed to get a scan and even then they're not guaranteed to make it through the system. RFID on the other hand only needs to be in the proximity of the package and it would be a trivial task to make sure that every package on a truck was actually supposed to be going to that destination. Theoretically it could be possible to use with baggage on airlines but there might be issues there that I am unaware of.

VOIP: It's got a good beat and I can bug out to it.
What scares me more is that the ruling was 5-4 instead of unanimous.

Wish I hadn't just used my mod points today, that was damn funny. I guess some mod just got his first points and doesn't understand humor very well.
Here's something that helps your position: Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.

Come on mods! That was funny.
I love Ruby on Rails but someone has got to mod that +5 Funny.

Well that assertion was a massive FAIL. I make quite a living thanks to the GPL and I know tons of others who do the same.
