Surely you cannot be suggesting that the First Amendment gives me the right to practice a religion that requires human sacrifice in contravention of murder statutes simply because there is no murder statute in the Constitution!
I would read that as you are free to practise and preach whatever you want, but that no law can take any notice of any religious reasons why you did it. Hence, no laws against ritual sacrifice, but any murder statute would ignore the religious aspect and prosecute for the act of killing, not for the sacrement.
Taking this into consideration, can you understand why the First Amendment right to freedom of speech isn't 100% absolute? Should I not then be allowed to brand all my crappy software "Google" with their logo? Should I not then be allowed to freely distribute any copyrighted material to anyone, since it's merely free expression? Should I not then be allowed to shout "Fire" in a crowded theater, or point a megaphone at my neighbor's house and shout through it at all hours of the day?
All of these would be prosecuted/sued under laws that ignore "Freedom of Speech" - Fraud, Copyright Infringement (civil case unless you were selling it), Nuisance laws X2, respectively.
As far as the law is concerned there is a difference between "infringing freedom of speech" and ignoring freedom of speech and prosecuting for some other aspect of what you are doing.
That's strange, n'sync CDs don't have any music on them.

You are also far more likely to get a job offer from an interview that way than by demonstating a slavering "please hire me" attitude. Employers know that competent staff aren't desperate for the job and that they have to win the interview as best company/job offer at least as much as the candidate has to win as best possible employee.
"Too bad it isn't difficult to attain because of requirements other than family name and status."
What you said was in fact technically correct english, and a worthy sentiment.
"Too bad it's only difficult to attain for those without family name and status."
What he said does not mean quite the same, and is in fact a simpler and more derogatory statement about who can become president.
Until they throw out any temperature readings taken within the area of influence of metropolitan areas all of their models are complete bunk.
Throwing out the data is also wrong. They should work out what proportion of the world is within those areas and allow for the heat generation that occurs. The 'heat island' effect not only covers metropolitan areas, but significant areas downwind as well. Any model which doesn't allow for this is flawed.
Fair enough. I don't have the story handy, but IIRC he wrote a fairly lengthy and precise description in it, including details about the side supports, bladder, heater and a pump system.
If the artist got screwed in the contract then a long copyright term does them no good at all. In fact that is an argument for having the term short enough that the artist could make a new version of the recording after the original copyright epires.
That's funny, seeing as how we're waging the war in a manner completely unsuited towards keeping oil supplies up. We could have done that with orders of magnitude less money.
Nobody wants to get oil out of Iraq. The whole point is to REDUCE the supply so as to drive up the price for all the oil from elsewhere.
If they were making a profit at $30 a barrel, how well are they doing when they can push the price to $60 or $90 or $120 with no increase in processing costs?
If not us, then it would be good to see another country like europe or japan start it up (I do not believe that canada has enough breeder experience).
Countries don't have experience, people do. It's not that hard to hire some engineers who know what they are doing. If you need to import them, so what?

Ah, but you are neglecting the simulation hypothesis
A close reading of water access/control acts would imply he is not.
Why should a religious person be offended by "fuck jesus" ? As an atheist, I am not offended when someone says "fuck the non-existence of all gods".
Winston Smith has now never existed.

But having nuclear warheads does give you the right to do whatever you damn well please.

I know you're being cheeky, but "Fiction != Prior Art" as it relates to patent law.
Yes it does. Some guy was denied a patent on the waterbed because Heinlein described it in a story.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Well I can see the plain paper roll vote record - http://www.diebold.com/nasadmk/cgi-bin/desi_catalo g.pl?section=9&id=170/ - but where are the ones preprinted with the results you want?
The practical problem seems to be the benevolent part.
