Why is everyone quoting the constitution here, you've got the right article, but it's barely applicable, and doesn't prevent a search at all.
Asking a judge to issue a Subphoena is the process of trying to establish "Probable cause" - if it's likely that an individual or corporation committed a crime, and a search of something they own (Residence, place of business, financial records, etc.) would likely prove that crime was committed, a judge can authorize a search.
1. Considering the time I spend on/. accomplishing nothing, 20 minutes is not an unreasonable expenditure of time to spend on looking good.
2. For reasons elaborated on much more eloquently than I'm willing to elsewhere in this thread, looking good throughout the day accomplishes a great deal.
Once you've got it down, 15-20 minutes a night is all it really takes to keep up a professional appearance. If you can't be bothered to put that much into how you look, what does it say about you?
Santa Claus? A Magical man who lives at the North Pole and distributes gifts to good little capitalist boys and girls, while dispensing coal to the bad ones? There's no such thing.
God? A Magical man who lives in the sky and dispenses rewards to good men and women after they die, while dispensing fire and brimstone to the bad ones? No such thing.

It's possible to go on like that for all manner of mythological figures (Except maybe Buddha, I'm pretty sure he was a real dude. Dead now, pity). If it doesn't take a great deal of faith to believe Santa Claus isn't real, there's no religion involved, just a thinking adult mind, or a particularly cynical child's mind - why should it take faith or religion to deny the existence of god?
1. It's disgusting how they only focus on ONE game, and we all know what game that is, because it generates the most income for them.
Reread that sentence. Pretend you are running a business.
2. How do you think Blizzard developed the reputation it has? It hasn't rushed games out, traditionally having only one or two in development at a time, and they all have -long- development cycles to ensure they're ground-breaking games.
Speeds are the same for all three frequency bands we operate at, and both terminals I've used operate on Single Sideband suppressed Modulation - meanwhile data compression just increases the need for accurate reception (more data transmitted means more data lost every time you lose a bit...)
A Ridiculous Comment. Over the past few decades, we've boosted the efficiency of recepters an incredible amount, while simultaniously reducing the dish size on Satellite and space communications terminals. Take military Satellite communications Terminals (My Job) - we've gone from a 20' Antenna to a 6' with comparable data rates and greater reliability off the 6' dish in just the time I've been in (almost two years now). This is possible largely due to increased effiency in Dish coatings and designs.
Meanwhile, the size of a dish is often a limiting factor in space vehicle design, making every advance in getting better reception out of a same-sized or smaller dish that much more important.
Besides, it's a LOT easier to transport and set up the 6' dish compared to the 20'.
If club\bar\etc. owners are aware (and it can be proven they're aware) of illegal activity occuring in their establishment, and they do nothing to stop it, you can sure as shit count on them being shut down.
I'm not sure what you're talking about in regards to the abuse of a few, easily 90% of the traffic I've seen on Bittorrent sites is illegal to one degree or another
Massively exaggerated there, the risk of transmitting the pustule to some other part of your skin is overstated. Mostly that's to scare people into believing it's true, decreasing the risk even further, but there's no need to keep you illusioned about it now that you've already been vaccinated.
The Lymph node swelling and pain isn't all that bad, sure it hurts like a bitch, but it didn't interrupt my daily life. Same with the itching, keep yourself busy and you don't even notice it.
Three weeks of mild discomfort, then you're immune to smallpox for the next 5-10 years. It's a pretty good tradeoff I'd say.
Oh no, some wanker with more money to spend can get a higher frame rate, better internet connection, and more detail in the monitor space he has already, getting an advantage..
Ever notice that, no matter what side of the Global warming "Debate" you're on, it's always claimed that the vast majority of Scientists support your position?
No, not really. Nothing I've said requires the existence of a soul.
"The Essential Quality of being human" is pretty wordy, but you could have figured out I wasn't talking about a soul and moved on to actually, y'know, debating, after the first post. You probably did.
Hence why arguing semantics is little more than trolling.

please tell me you're joking.
The uh, Airplane Puzzle on grade five is a simple logic puzzle..

The Eloquence I speak of is that of other people.
if I could be eloquent, I would be, maybe then I wouldn't have to dress nice.

Racist my ass, man has a point.
Where do you draw the line between accepting something as "part of someone's culture" and "Wrong?"
Are you in support of any of the cultural norms the Parent posted?

Half-truths or outright lies!
Some people can get away with washing their hair only every other day, some even less frequently (!)
Then there are folks like I who cannot - and even one day without a wash leaves my hair greasy and nasty.
Was basically Neuromancer with a dash of conspiracy theory.

The LNAs probably contribute to it a lot though.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Last I heard there's some international treaty that governs Antartica that keeps most matters out of the hands of governments.
You can read up on it
oh yeah, since someone's going to do it, the obligatory Karma Whore
Stop trying to justfiy an inherantly unethical practice (stealing) with a dubiously ethical motive (Bringing down the "Evil Empire").

Well Hot Damn,
learn something new every day.
Toxic Waste? Yes.
Nuclear Waste is an entirely different animal. Coal byproducts aren't radioactive.
