The problem with having laws is that most people are not familiar with them and don't understand the system. People who do are able to bully those who don't understand. This officer is doing just that bullying people. He is trying to use his knowledge of the system against folks that don't. I don't believe he had intention of having it go to court. He just wanted to shut up the people he, and his station, feel are pests.
They are probably pests that most of use would not like having as neighbors. I bet they where calling the station all the time complaining about there neighbors speeding. There is a bit more background I bet then just this story. That said the tactic the police used to shut them up was not appropriate or just.
It probably backfired on them, since if it goes to a judge it will be dismissed. Judges lucky still have the ability to exercise judgment in most areas of the law. Consider this next time you hear someone pushing of strict minimum sentence rules.
Sadly the people who get hurt most often by this bullying are those that are quite citizens. Slumlords and such often use the laws against people. I took a minor in law just so I would not be totally ignorant of the law. I don't expect most to do so but it would be nice to see more high schools have a required class. I personally think it is more valuable then a sex ed class. (least the one I was forced to take)
This article is completely irrelevant. If they had detailed medical information from the period it might be useful but in most cases not since the application of the technology is vastly different in most cases.
Weekly I download an anime series bleach.
Lunar a fan-sub uses torrents as a distribution method.
They only distribute legitimate files.
Many orginizations use it as a distribution methond.
I guess it comes down to if you hold objects or people accountable. The close parallel is gun rights. I don't own a gun but feel people should be able to have them. If a person kills another with a gun I blame the person not the gun. For me it is the same with torrents.
F goodlink, buy treo 700w's for you people. I totaly configured it in under 5 min to work directly with exchange. When I get an e-mail or appointment added to my calendar it only takes about 10 seconds to show up on my handheld.
Goodlink is ok but it has no future.

.Net may not be ideal but to say that it is dying away is simply wrong.
My impression is that for not so mission/performance critical enterprise (yes enterprise) apps that Microsoft/.Net has been dominant. I think that among the more hardcore they are gaining a bit of ground (thanks in part to c#). Reuters now offers.net api in addition to there C api and just look at the number of.net components!
I think it is Java that never really lived up to the hype.
I would reiterate NOLAs advice to run. His last paragraph hits it on the head. Good faculty will be gone soon and you will have no budget. The only thing I have to add is that transferring will not be a problem. Other schools will have heard and will understand why you are transferring. Look for a school that is willing to transfer in most of your credits. As a second year this should not be much of a problem.
Um can you say IPO. Like any company you push up your public image before hand.
Google is expected to issiue the largest IPO ever!
1/2 a million or 10 million is a small investment given the money the IPO will probably produce.
"Analysts' estimate Google's value at $15 billion to $20 billion, and they say an IPO could generate up to $4 billion. The company won't release figures, but analysts have estimated its annual revenue at $500 million to more than $1 billion, with profits in the range of $150 million to $300 million. The money pours in along two primary paths: by giving advertisers the chance to display links to their sites based on a user's search terms, and by providing Google search capability on other Web sites -- such as AOL and washingtonpost.com."
Again 100 million is small change.
By the way it could be 100 mil for the disk space for all I know. I do know that one clerian disk array goes for 1/2 a mill alone. (1 tera)
