"Denialist" isn't a word. I think you're looking for "skeptic". You know, unless you are intentionally using prejudicial, made-up words to discredit people who may disagree with your conclusions, or at least how much faith we can put in them.
Well, you said that the Constitution was to be interpreted based on case law. I was wondering where that notion comes from. You seem to be saying that the answer is that that is what they did in England. That doesn't seem right to me.
My impression is that "case law" came into being in our system by . . . case law. (I want to blame Marshall, but my memory isn't to be trusted.) I'm not sure what isn't possible using that sort of circular reasoning.
I was lampooning the submitter's style. The phrase "none other than" is usually used when revealing someone or something quite famous in context. I read slashdot daily, and am probably more familiar with these matters than anyone I know. That's not to say I'm terribly familiar, but this is an issue that almost no one cares about. I've never heard of this Professor or his institution. I will freely grant that this is out of my own ignorance, but that doesn't make the tone of the summary or the use of single quotes any less silly.
I'm sure that Mr. Beckerman is a terrific guy, who is selflessly laboring for our collective benefit. I'm sure that Prof. Pouwelse is a towering figure from Mr. Beckerman's position in the trenches on this issue. But let's not take ourselves too seriously here. This isn't a question of World Peace, and the summary was silly. Laugh a little.
Right, but they can be removed forcibly. That force can be allowable within the framework of the Constitution as long as there is due process of law.
Can you not see how, for example, laws against treason and freedom of speech are in tension?
Anyone with access to this sort of privileged information must accept corresponding restriction on his freedom of speech. (Or accept the consequences.)
Soldiers should be careful about what they talk about, and should definitely be required to follow legal orders. And if they violate OpSec, they should definitely be removed from combat and/or fired -- they're government employees after all. It may even be reasonable to hold that in violating OpSec, they have criminally violated their orders, but I'm not sure.
So, if you and I are in the same platoon, and I give away vital operational information resulting in your death I should be fired, but you aren't sure if I should be prosecuted? There might be such a thing as being too noble.
When I was in the Army we were often told, "We're here to defend Democracy, not to practice it." OPSEC (OPerations SECurity) is vital to both mission success and protecting soldiers lives. I'm an complete nut when I comes to the first amendment, but combat soldiers absolutely DON'T (and shouldn't) have that right.
the framerate of the picture [is] effectively cut in half. (15 fps per eye, instead of 30.) The strobe effect could be quite annoying.
It would be 14 and 24 . . . if that was how this worked.
The technology discussed in this article uses two sets of 24fps images played back at a total of 144fps. Covering one eye will take you down to normal 24 frame film refreshed 72 times per second.
I saw the re-release of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" on this system and it is perfectly watchable with one eye.

How on Earth can you have full-quality movies on the Xbox marketplace?
I read some review that says that a 45 minute TV show is 2.2gb in their HD format. That's 4.4gb for a 90 minute movie compared to 25gb for a 90 minute movie on Blu-ray. That's 6.7 Mbits/s compared to 37.9 Mbits/s. Am I meant to believe that Microsoft has some secret video codec that is five times as efficient as VC-1 (or their own Media Player 9 codec)?
For the record, I do have broadband and an Xbox 360. And you must have horrible vision.

That made me chuckle, so now I'm totally confused :)
-Peter
I get it. In fact, I got it from my second reading of your summary. I got it before I made my initial comment.
Mutual understanding is a rare and precious thing. I'll look for it elsewhere.
In all seriousness, I appreciate what you're doing on this front, but you and Guillermito2 must be an absolute drag at parties.

Do you happen to know where the concept of "case law" comes from?
-Peter
The 'submitter' seems to have made a lot of 'assumptions' about how closely we have been following this 'case'.

Mahatma Rimbo! You've solved the basic problem of humanity! We cannot be at peace, so we must be in a perpetual state of war in which no one is hurt!
All hail!

Awesome.
For reference, 33kg is about what the M2 "50 cal" weighs. Awesome gun, but not an infantry weapon by any means.

Thanks for the back up, but I think it is generally better not to encourage ACs.
-Peter
Did you just really point out the difference between "never" and "unless"?
-Peter
You stole my post.
BIND has been demonstrated to be inherently scalable. If the problem is that some DDNS piece doesn't scale, why not pay someone to fix that?
It'd be nice if you provided such a fix upstream, but it's BSD so you'd never be obligated to do so.

Encouraging people to shoot into the air is unlikely to reduce gun related deaths.

If it looks "great" then why can't we have HD movies on single layer DVDs? That is, after all, the same codec that Blu-ray and HD DVD use.
You should have your vision checked.
-Peter
Blu-ray: One or two 25gb layers.
Xbox 360: One 20gb drive.
