Except, to prove perjury you would have to prove that he was knowingly making false statements, or in other worlds that he knew what he was talking about and just chose to say the opposite of what's true.
So basically you would have to prove that Darl is not an idiot. Good luck with that;)
But if those 10 people were not all lawyers or were unfamiliar with Swedish law, exactly how would they be qualified to render an opinion on the contents?
Under 50 is not a permanent exemption. After 2017, those over 50 will have to have a Real ID license as well. The additional 3 years for them was added so the states would have more time to issue everyone new licenses.
Regardless, if we don't want this then the states need to be firm in their opposition to it.
If every state (or nearly every one) opposes it, the DHS can't really do anything, unless they want to be the agent of the economy's collapse because no businesspeople can travel. If enough states do not oppose it strongly, then the ones who do will be forced to capitulate eventually, similar to the 21 drinking age.
Seriously, I really don't give a fuck. If I did I would purchase tabloids. How about some substantive reporting on actual world events? Or if you still have time to fill, some factual information on the presidential candidates. Like, maybe some stories on what they actually believe and have a record of voting for, so the public will be more informed and can make better decisions. Not stories analyzing who is ahead by 3% in the latest poll in what states or who has the best chance of winning. That only breeds bandwagoning subject to the control of the media. This is of course exactly what they want though, which is why we will continue to see no stories with real factual content, and simply sound bites.
The internet is much better as a news vehicle because I can actually find stories with real content which complexly explore the issues. Apparently the news networks think that no one's attention span is greater than 1 minute and 30 seconds, so they mandate that no stories should be covered in depth. Occasionally there are multi-hour specials on certain things, but apart from that, there is rarely regular substantive coverage of important goings on.
It's well known that all mail to sjobs@apple.com is handled by a team of secretaries and few messages sent there are ever read by Steve. I have written one or two emails there myself expressing my opinion on certain Apple policies at times and have gotten responses as well. The responses are signed Steve but they are most likely not from him.
Set top boxes that give you feedback on the presence of any loose male cables dangling from their backsides through a series of audio tones.
Sources familiar with the development of the units indicate that the cable integrity is calculated through an internal "fulfillness meter" each box has that is dynamically calibrated to the thrusting force of initial cable insertion by the owner.
The audio tones are said to become louder as the internal weight of the portion of cable inserted decreases on a linear scale.
New owners feel the new design could be a boon to children, who lacking a cohesive concept of proper cable pairment, had difficulty before in detecting the causes of abnormal video problems with the units.
I think its just the irony that Microsoft's competitor (in operating systems) runs MS's software better on its hardware than MS's hardware partners can.
And the court can and has changed its opinion on things in the past. IMO saying "Constitutionally protected X" implies there is something in the Constitution regarding X, as in Constitutionally protected free speech.
While I don't favor this, you would be hard pressed to argue that the UN has had a very productive impact in most of the activities they have undertaken. And even when their stuff has worked, it has usually been with the US doing most of the legwork. The UN is mainly an organization that allows its members to say they support international partnerships, while performing relatively few useful functions of its own.
remove the constitutionally protected women's right to choose
Last time I checked a woman's right to choose was protected by a Supreme Court decision, not the Constitution. Whether or not one supports abortion is another matter, but lets be clear on that.
remove public education
Not a bad idea considering the Constitution provides no basis for the federal government to be involved in education, and our schools are failing anyway. Plus, our students did better comparatively against other nations before the US Dept of Education was instituted.
approach to fighting spam. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)
( ) Spammers can easily use it to harvest email addresses ( ) Mailing lists and other legitimate email uses would be affected (*) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money ( ) It is defenseless against brute force attacks ( ) It will stop spam for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it ( ) Users of email will not put up with it ( ) Microsoft will not put up with it ( ) The police will not put up with it (*) Requires too much cooperation from spammers ( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once ( ) Many email users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers ( ) Spammers don't care about invalid addresses in their lists ( ) Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business
Specifically, your plan fails to account for
( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it (*) Lack of centrally controlling authority for email ( ) Open relays in foreign countries ( ) Ease of searching tiny alphanumeric address space of all email addresses (*) Asshats (*) Jurisdictional problems ( ) Unpopularity of weird new taxes ( ) Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money ( ) Huge existing software investment in SMTP ( ) Susceptibility of protocols other than SMTP to attack ( ) Willingness of users to install OS patches received by email ( ) Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes ( ) Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches (*) Extreme profitability of spam (*) Joe jobs and/or identity theft (*) Technically illiterate politicians ( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with spammers ( ) Dishonesty on the part of spammers themselves ( ) Bandwidth costs that are unaffected by client filtering ( ) Outlook
and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
(*) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical ( ) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable ( ) SMTP headers should not be the subject of legislation ( ) Blacklists suck ( ) Whitelists suck ( ) We should be able to talk about Viagra without being censored ( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud ( ) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks ( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually ( ) Sending email should be free ( ) Why should we have to trust you and your servers? ( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses ( ) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem ( ) Temporary/one-time email addresses are cumbersome ( ) I don't want the government reading my email ( ) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough
Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
(*) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work. ( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it. ( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down!
While that is true, the JWST can not image in the visible light wavelengths like Hubble, so we won't get actual pictures we can see, except false color ones derived from the infrared data.
He might have been referring to another government, although I tend to doubt that possibility as well.
I think it is highly unlikely a manned mission to Mars of any kind will be happening in the next 20 years, unless it is designed from the start as a one way mission.

Mmmmmm, that's some good perjury!

Why redo the first book in the series when there are many more in the service. The current Dune is a great film anyway.
Because that is what the studio wanted to do. I've been following this for a while now.
If anyone is interested there is a lot more info on this going back months in this thread.
The board admin there is a friend of the Herbert family and has been posting updates on the new movie situation for the last year or so.

Not all people from Georgia are hicks.
I attend Georgia Tech, which is one of the premier engineering and research universities in the country.
I would agree that pretty much everyone at Valdosta state is a dumbass though.
Even more reason to get out and vote in November.
And BEFORE THEN. Vote now! Otherwise we usually get stuck with a lesser of two evils thing in the general election.

which I believe the best most unbiased one is with Brit Hume
I had to quote that just so I could isolated it from the rest of your post and make sure I had read it correctly.
I'll sum it up in one name.

I felt a great disturbance in the airwaves, as if millions of helpless iPhone apps cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
They cried out, "don't raze me bro!!!"
I'm sick of all this motherfucking fucking on this motherfucking plane!!!

I think we need another entry on the philosophical objections list.
Something like, draconian regulation of ecommerce is a bad solution.

This whole option is really hilarious. Like the kid is not going to be savvy enough to just download VLC?

My servers are currently taking a big hit from spam and a clean way to block it in smtpd would make life a lot easier for me.
You could switch to postfix.
Modern sites use CSS for layout, not tables.
