The difference being, an amicus brief is official and public, an email, letter, flier, or conversation outside the court is not. Do you not understand why one is permitted and the other is not?
If electronic communication with a judge via email is not an official channel and not permitted, perhaps technical measures to enforce said policy should be in place, no? Otherwise, it comes down to "Whhhaaaaa, they're not supposed to do that".
Only on Slashdot do you get marked Troll for supporting the first amendment. Freedom of speech is there not for the speech you agreement, but *for the speech you absolutely hate*
You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what free speech means. The content of your speech is protected, not the delivery method. "Free speech" does not give you the right to force your speech on others, and it does not give you the right to attempt to influence a judge through extra-judicial channels.
Let me be extremely clear than. Only a fool would believe sending an email to someone is forcing them to read it.
Google usually doesn't care if you're pulling cached pages programatically unless you're pounding the hell out of them with 1000s of requests a second. And then they just kick back an error for 30-60 minutes.
Having worked with strippers and porn stars before (long scary year in Las Vegas handling the IT for an adult film org), *everyone* comes out of it messed up but the pay is fantastic. I can not even describe in words how sad it is when you see it in person (and one of the reasons I never go back to Vegas).
How do you like Raleigh? My wife and I are considering moving to South Carolina from Illinois, and while I know Raleigh is a bit to the north, I'd be interested to get your take on the area.
They can, but they'd have to walk away from their homes. They really should look into this; if they're underwater any significant amount, and don't want to be stuck in their current location for the next decade or more, then they NEED to walk away. House prices are NOT going to go up significantly for 5-10 years; it'll take them decades to recoup what they've paid for their homes. It's easier to just walk away, take the credit hit, and buy a new house in a few years (or at most, 7). Also, they can try to do a short-sale, which has less of a negative effect on your credit score.
In some cases, you can find your new home, purchase it, and than short sell or deed-in-lieu your underwater property.
I just finished up working for a year at Fermilab on the data storage/reconstruction (the IT side) of the CMS detector at the LHC. My background is heavy in open source technologies, hence the reason I was chosen. Open source tech experience may not get you in the door at Ma and Pa shops, but it gets you in the door at more.....interesting places.
There's a good chance that most normally aspirated 5 liter gasoline engines have better low end torque than most turbo diesel 3 liter engines.
One of my vehicles is an 08 Tundra with a 5.8L V8 supercharged engine. Fuel economy is 17 city, 20 highway. Engine output is now ~504 HP and 550 lb-ft of torque. While it's probably putting out less torque than an equivilent diesel, I've gained 3-5 mpg by switching to a force intake from natural aspiration.
What kind of car you have the ability to purchase is a liberty? Fail dude, all sorts of fail. You have the ability to buy a car with basic requirements specified by the government. What next? You'll bitch that you can't buy a car without seat belts and air bags?
Previously, no. Several companies (Nanosolar being one of them) have now gotten the cost down (or below) $1/watt, and Nanosolar's inventory specifically has been and will continue to be sold out for quite a while due to utility customers. As the price falls, demand (and hopefully, supply) will pick up.
Does this bother manufacturers? You bet, because the resulting line-up will be less appealing, and that means fewer sales. Should you be bothered as well? Most certainly absolutely yes! You may no longer be able to buy/afford a vehicle that meets your needs once these regulations take effect.
Because, clearly, if I can't commute to work and run errands to the grocery store in my Hummer getting 10mpg, the government has caused undue harm. If you want a gas hog to get around, build it yourself or pay a gas guzzler tax to get one. Cheap oil is not an American birthright (and I speak as an American who requires a vehicle to get around).
Waste Management in the US has a pilot program where they run the dump trucks on methane produced at the landfills where the trash is dropped off. Hydrogen is a dead end, as you still need electricity or natural gas to create it.

No. A Judge's email address is an official channel, unless it's his personal email account (in which case, I could understand the problem).
Your rights only go so far as they do not impinge on the rights of others...you cannot force people to listen to you.
Then perhaps the judge needs to learn how to setup mail filters instead of whining about people he doesn't want emailing him.
There is no such thing as a "private" email address when your mailserver accepts mail from the world for the address.
So encouraging people to use their freedom of speech is now a crime?
I mean you'ld have to be a bit sadistic to want to burn living animals for a living.
Or just care about helping your own species.
Wouldn't that indicate that Google is more efficient than Apple from a labor standpoint?
Which is owned by Best Buy now.

Cost is subjective. Your time is only worth what someone will pay for it.
Can't Nagios and a Honda robot take care of this?

I think I'll try my luck with the crumple zones instead of the undissipated momentum tearing my aorta clear from my heart.
