Massachusetts is not one of those States. There was a case a few years back of several 16 and 17 year old boys having group sex with a 15 year old girl. They all faced statutory rape charges. The age of consent in Massachusetts is 16, which is lower than many states.
It's not just unfair practices that gives local competitors an advantage, it's quite often simply understanding China better. When multi-national chains go into China, they always start in Beijing or Shanghai, try to establish a following there, then slowly branch out into the provinces. When a Chinese chain gets going, they always start in the provinces and only after they're successful there do they move into the wealthy cities. Guess which strategy does better.
This is a key thing for email clients to detect. Something claiming to be from a bank with links to a website should be highlighted with some big flashing warning, "ALERT! THIS IS LIKELY A SCAM!" Not all users, even some relatively bright people, will be able to figure this out on their own and software should be designed to accommodate those people as well.
compared to pretty much any state legislature site. I can find what I want quickly and easily, once I know the name of the bill, (which I can get from Google, etc.) The Massachusetts legislature's site makes me want put my head in blender.
and I follow politics closely. But there's no way I 'd have the time decide how my congressman should vote on every issue. To do it in an informed fashion, that is actually reading the bills and researching them, would be a full time job in and of itself. This is why we elected Capuano and give him some staffers, so we don't have to deal with all of this ourselves. The whole point is to vote for someone who more or less share your views, then if they screw up, vote them out of office.

They were two pages on Co-ops that are part of the USCA in Berkeley, California. The final decision was to merge all of these into one page because the individual house pages were "not notable", which was a far messier way of doing things and couldn't give as much detailed information. Essentially elegant presentation of the relevant information was sacrificed on the alter of notability, which benefited no one other than pedantic Wikipedians.

Amen to that!
I stopped participating in Wikipedia after two articles I had put a fair amount of time into got deleted for non-notability.
The main reason why Austria felt that they could act as aggressively towards Serbia as they did was Germany's promise of unconditional backing for any action they took. Germany also declared war on Russia simply in response to a Russian mobilization, before Russia had entered the fighting. Furthermore, Germany declared war on France and invaded neutral Belgium because France was Russia's ally, even though there was no indication that she would necessarily get involved.
The reason for Germany's aggressiveness towards Russia, France and Belgium was their War Plans, which had been drafted years before. These plans called for an invasion of France though Belgium in six weeks, which is how long they had estimated it would take Russia to mobilize. Rather than adjust their plans to the diplomatic situation, The Germans needlessly expanded the war to fit their plans.
The plan didn't even work. Russia mobilized faster than expected, forcing them to withdraw forces from the Western Front at a critical time. More seriously, due to the Belgians destroying rail lines, they were unable to transfer troops or supplies quickly enough to the left flank, that was suppose to sweep along the coast and strike Paris from behind, forcing them to turn their attack before reaching Paris leading to their defeat at the Battle of The Marne.
Elementary schools in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Spokane, Washington, also recently banned tag during recess. A suburban Charleston, South Carolina, school outlawed all unsupervised contact sports.
Some pretty Red states there. This is not just a Massachusetts thing. Also Attleboro is relatively conservative by Massachusetts standards.
They won't run on time, but Bush will announce in his State of the Union that they are running on time. Anyone disagreeing will be labeled a traitor, giving aid and comfort to the enemy, or wanting the terrorists to win.
The reason why tubes is not as good an analogy is that pipes usually are full of some sort of liquid, like water, oil or sewage, while tubes are generally empty or mostly empty. Stevens's speech, taken in its entrity, clearly shows that he was just repeating what some TelCo lobbist told him but getting many of the details wrong.
Acela is really a disappointment. It could go much much faster if it had a dedicated Right-of-Way, but instead it has clug along behind any freight train that gets in its way.
As other posters have noted getting a legal Visa is in fact extremely hard, depending on what country your from. Many students are denied Visas, even though they have admission in to American Universities, becuase they can't persuade an immigration officer in a five minute interview that they have no plans to migrate permenently to the US, even if they intend to do so legally! Legal immigration is a huge pain in the neck, if you're well off and have useful skills. It's next to impossible if you're not.
I normally hate MOD PARENT UP posts, but this is exactly right. China never had a Gestapo or NKVD; they didn't need one. Mao controlled the country through the petty vindictiveness of neighbors on co-workers.
The Sales tax is actually higher in California as well. 6 1/4% for TX verses 7 1/4% CA. (The actuall tax rate in both states varies depending on municipality though, that's just the percentage that goes to the state. In Berkeley, CA, where I lived for some time, the rate was 8 3/4%, for example.) California has some of the lowest property tax rates in the country though. Which just goes to show that they'll get you one way or another.
Or, if you live in Maine, you might get murdered be some vigilante because you had sex with your 15 year old girlfriend when you were 16, (and therefore had to publically register as a sex offender.) This happened a few weeks back and was in the news, at least in the Boston area.
The story about Aisha actually not in the Koran, but in later Muslim literature called Hadiths, which are other people's recountings of the life of the prophet. Most branches of Islam accept at least some of them as authorative, but not all.
The reason a Bill of Rights was not originally included in the Constitution is that the authors worried that people would beleive it to limit the rights they had to just the ones listed. Unfortunately, despite the ninth amendment, this as proven to be the case. The situation would have probably been far worse without the Bill of Rights, so it's a good thing they changed their minds.
What the original poster meant was that X would get better at a faster rate, (because development would be easier,) not that it would speed up necessarily.
Downloading is not stealing, and copyright legislation needs to take into account again that fact.
[sarcasm]It does take this into account. That's why the penalties (for uploading really) are much worse than you'll ever get hit with for petty theft.[/sarcasm]
What I'm very curious to know is how effective their Data Mining was. Did they catch anyone using this system? How many arrests? How many convictions? How many terror related and how many "ordinary" criminals? People seem to be willing to cave if they're told something will make them safer from terror, even without any real numbers backing up the claim.

Blind Voters find them very helpful, for one. With just a paper ballot, they usually need to have someone else vote with them.
Read Mark Twain's The Awful German Language Gender in German is very arbitrary.

Let me see... No. Wait wait, let me think about it some more... No. Come to think of it... No.
