In Scotland the men are generally too drunk to chase sheep.
Calculations showed powered flight to be possible - why did Orville & Wilbur build the Flyer?
Why was the first atomic pile built? Why the first moon shot?
Because we can. Because theory is all well and good, but to actually have the thing in reality confirms (or disproves, usually dramatically) the theory.
"With just one seizures more money is confiscated than any one of us will earn in 50 or so life times."
And with that statement you cast light on another reason for the continuation of the idiocy that is prohibition. As long as the whole drugs chain is illegal the government can seize their assets for the governments' own use any time they like with no legal risk. Govt. can let the money from a huge munber of people concentrate into a few high-profile targets then just swoop in and take everything with the added bonus that they can point and say "See, we're doing something" to keep the right-wingers happy.
I'm guessing you don't live in the UK where this kind of reactionary "OMG someone got hurt let's ban something" vote-chasing by our politicians is a daily fact of life.
On the other hand, IF he is acquitted then that would send a wonderful message that following your conscience is more important than slavish obedience to orders.
So basically he's doomed because they would never let that message be sent.
Personally the Sea Kittens campaign made me wonder what Land Kittens tasted like... Have to say, not bad dipped in chocolate. Though it turns out it's a bad thing to serve on a first date. Never understood why - I mean women love kittens, and love chocolate so the combination of the two should be perfect, right?
I can add some evidence to this. A few years ago I suffered some brain damage - not horrific but enough to shave about 20 points off my IQ. Before that I could read at about 2-3 times the speed i can now - I was able to flash into my mind's eye an image of a page and then parse it while I was turning the page. Since the injury I have to scan the text. Numbers are the same - I could pretty much instantly memorise a 12 digit number and recite it back. Now if I want it to stay more than a few moments I have to sub-vocallise it - something about running it through my speech centers helps my brain keep the information.
OTOH I'm a lot more socially functional since - I can actually enjoy people's company rather than constantly analysing everything they do.
A friend of mine had a new HR drone start at the place they work who decided that everyone needed new contracts. After a month of badgering to sign the revised contract he went through it and found a whole load of extra stuff that had been slipped in (not subtly, the old contract was about 8 pages, the new one about 10). He crossed out all the sections he didn't agree to, initialled the crossings out, signed the contract and photocopied it before handing it back.
There speaks someone who never had it happen to them. Trust me, the damage done to a boy's psycho-sexual development is incalculable and takes years to deal with ( if ever).
^^ This. I've been hanging with the same couple of university societies for the past 20-odd years and students now are DEFINATELY more open to casual hook-ups and the like.
And yes, I know - Dirty Old Bastard. But look at it this way - I'm heading towards 40 and get to take home cute girls half my age on a fairly regular basis without having Hugh Hefner's pocketbook. If you could, you would.
Well, it's not so much deserves as that's the best way to get her coming back for more.
And the benefits if you can convince her that an4l is a viable option...
That just gives them another thing to beat out of you - remember it is an offence not to hand over the encryption key if asked even if you don't know it.
If you encrypted a document with an encryption key that was randomly generated and then wiped from all records it is still an offence to not hand over the key when asked for it - even though there is no way you could know it. This is the reality of the laws that are being passed nowadays in the wake of 9/11 security theater.

First they came for the Whistleblowers but I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Whistleblower.
Then they came for the Scientists...
You've obviously not seen enough pr0n recently...
Yeah, being a "spoiled, self infatuated, irresponsible, whiny, obnoxious asshole." is AC's job.

Not unless you shave your pubes, "Sexconker"...
How's about a working light saber themed fleshlight...
I thought it had been replaced with a walkie-talkie...

They would have, but most Yes voters were too caned to remember to vote...

2^20 = 1048576. If you used all your digits as binary digits.

You're about 2 decades behind Messrs Mayall and Edminson, sir...
If it's not available to the public I guess we can't touch it yet...
If the police are pirating, does that make them Privateers?

Is that the ID10T error, or is it the KCI interface that's in severe need of upgrade?
