I imagine most informants were arrested for something and decided to help rather than go to jail. I think the immediate threat of jail-time outweighs a chance that they may be found out in the future.
A guy on a forum I frequent has a printing shop. He sent the police department of box of pedobear stickers! Showed a picture of the delivery confirmation as well.
I should have clarified, oldest in existence. You say there are some currently twice as old as the US's. Which ones? I'm curious.
I don't think you can compare constitutions of the past to the ones of today. The circumstances under which they exist are drastically different. Your last statement while true, doesn't invalidate my claim.
Is the US really a superpower still? It's definitely declining. Looking at history I think it's delusional arrogance to believe the US has found the "perfect" government. Especially when you consider the US being such a young construct, which definitely has yet to stand the test of time.
Well, the US does have the longest standing Constitution of any nation. I think that says a whole lot about the effectiveness of our chosen form of government.
I'll give my little anecdote. My wife went to the hospital on my son's due-date. The wanted to do an NST (No-Stress Test) to make sure the baby was fine and perform a quick ultrasound to make sure fluid levels in the uterus were ok.
The NST consisted of a nurse strapping a heartbeat monitor and contraction sensor or something like that to her belly. They came back in after 30 minutes, looked at the charts and said we were ok. Walked to the ultrasound room, guy does a 20 minute ultrasound and says all is well and we could go home. We were there for an hour tops.
The bill? $1600!!!!! $700 of that was the NST. THEY LITERALLY JUST PUT TWO SENSORS ON HER STOMACH AND QUICKLY GLANCED AT THE RESULTS!!! Insurance covered all but $170 of it, but damn! People don't pay attention to the true costs of these silly little procedures. I'd love to see the price breakdown of those two procedures.
The transmissions Ferrari is using along with other manufacturers can be better thought of as auto-shifting manuals as opposed to the manual-shifting autos you're probably familiar with. The Ferrari transmissions have a computer controlled clutch to handle engagement/disengagement of the tranny rather than a torque converter used by auto transmissions.
They've been "working" on a Windows 7 driver for the last couple months and keep telling customers the release is "just around the corner". Other companies selling cards using the same chip have long since released proper drivers.
Shift was a crap game. They released it half-finished, car selection sucks, engine and car tuning is SOOOOO generic, suspension tuning is all bugged out, opposite-lock not required (all cars seem to magically neutral-drift through all corners). I could go on and on. To even suggest that Shift be put anywhere near Gran Turismo or Forza is laughable.
I will admit I really like the direction they took the series and the game sounded GREAT but I think we'll have to wait for Shift 2 or 3 before they've found the proper recipe.
I was victim to this recently as well. A bunch of small charges and all purchases used my cell number and home address...even had some diet pills sent to my house. I though this was rather odd but I think a co-worker of mine nailed it on the head and said these people are probably using stolen card numbers to use with all these free laptop/ipod giveaways. You know, the ones that ask you to sign up for 5 "services" from their affiliates and get X number of friends to do the same to receive your free equipment.
What's funny is that after I cancelled the card, I called some of these places up to have any accounts with them cancelled. Two of them showed no shame and asked that since I had already signed up (fraudulently), would I like to continue with their service since it had so many great things to offer.
You know I do wonder that myself. All lunatics seem to be on Obama's side, and every calm, controlled, you know, normal person seems to be on McCain's side. And this idiotic act is going to make that perception a lot stronger, for obvious reasons.
Please list those reasons. Your assertion is highly speculative, almost bordering on....lunacy perhaps.
People will start saying that obama has both a history and a current tendency to get lunatics violate people on his behalf. I mean an act like this makes it almost reasonable to send the FBI to go through every last paper and computer the Obama campaign touched, something that could, you know, easily take 2 months...
Are you really serious? Your proposition is nowhere near to "almost reasonable". It's absolutely absurd to suggest campaigns should be held accountable for every random dumbass on the internet.

It's spelled "lose".
Why not just install 03 on the C2D box?
Forget that man...I just read the pdf story. Nice try but you can't trick me!!
How does it feel to be a slave to your corporate masters?
Sorry, I'm talking about their sound card.

Nice looking keyboard. I have to laugh though at the gold plated usb connector and their claim that it reduces latency. Ooookaaaay!
This will just drive you crazy then:

In Virginia, anything over .15 is mandatory 10 days in jail. Can't remember though if that's served right then or after conviction.
I guess it's more a higher-penalty range in this case.
Loosing your driving license is the least worry.
Sorry, hate to be a grammar nazi but I'm seeing this too often now, three times in this discussion...It's LOSE not LOOSE. It drives me nuts!
Nope...Most all DUI convictions are based solely on the breathalyzer output.
Did the wife take your copy?
Which leaves me wondering...what brand shoe do you wear on your left foot?

So are you saying you're for the extension of copyright long after the creater has passed away?
Are YOU part of the abomination? Whatever that's supposed to mean.
