They can't say it and have it hold up without a law providing that authority. To the best of my knowledge, the only law that could be used here is the PATRIOT Act if the guy was a suspected terrorist.
The Executive (Presidents, Governors, and Mayors) may disapprove of a proposed legislation by veto. Yes the Legislature may override a veto, but not without an extremely significant majority that almost never exists. For all intents and purposes, the Executive approves or disapproves laws, barring extenuating circumstance.
The point is that the GP is saying that the summary does not give a legal basis for why the court came to their ruling. It does not indicate that their ruling was based on violations of the US Constitution, but rather that they just didn't like police having that much power. THAT is what is bad.
It's not a good idea. But it's also out of the Judiciary's hands. They are to rule based on law established by the Legislature and approved by the Executive.
This is where technology starts to create a gray area for ethics. Would it be okay for your neighbor to slap a GPS on your car to track you without your knowledge? Spying on individuals for the sake of law enforcement investigation is already pushing close to the boundary of ethically acceptable practice in my opinion. And anyone could legally do it. If slapping a GPS on your car without a warrant is acceptable for law enforcement, then it would also have to be acceptable for your neighbor.
This whole glass monument thing just seems like someone's attempt at a money grab. Otherwise the creator wouldn't be telling the locals that he knows better than they do.
The RIAA only wishes it were that simple. iTunes greatly dominates online music sales to the point that no sane member of the RIAA would dare to allow business negotiations with Apple collapse to the point of their material not being available on iTunes. The RIAA members need Apple (by their own fault), and they don't like it. But with that said, you are right that they don't give up control easily. Apple has had to bargain and fight constantly to get where they are with the iTunes store. This is exactly why it is in Apple's interest to throw the RIAA an apple (no pun intended) where they can, like banning BitTorrent apps, to keep the RIAA from stone walling them.
Apple has far more at stake than their user base now. With the iPod and the iTunes store, they have entered a political and business hotbed where everyone's ass is so tight they could turn coal into diamonds in a week. Apple is likely seeing that they need to be very careful if they want the big winners to keep cooperating in a pliable manner. The RIAA won't stop working with Apple if they allow BitTorrent apps on the iPhone, but you can bet that they will give Apple a much harder time of it, costing Apple lots of money just to deal with it.
It's also legal for a main stream book store to openly sell hardcore pornography and sex toys. That doesn't mean that it would be good for retaining their customer base.
Mod this up. It's novels that are intellectually stimulating that I find entertaining. Novels like Twilight and Harry Potter are just baseless and vulgar. A novel that can actually pose a difficult question or scenario will keep me entertained even when I'm not reading it.
It's fairly obvious that "obscenity" is nothing more than a tool to justify censorship. The concept of banning obscene material really has the same exact purpose that banning "uncomfortable" material has.
The vast majority of the job postings I have seen rarely use the "or equivalent" qualifier. My assumption has always been that it is implied. However, when I see how some HR people go through resumes, I get the impression that they often use education as a first round easy filter. When the day comes that I have to be a hiring manager, I sincerely hope that the HR group I work with will not make that mistake.
I did see the new movie and I did enjoy it a lot. My only complaints where the absolutely pointless chase scene on the ice planet and the needlessly long fight on the drilling platform with a hilariously simple solution to stopping it. I look forward to new movies in this time line. My only hope is that they don't turn it into just another run of mill action flick series. I don't go to see movies much anymore because mostly they're all just regurgitated Hollywood crap. A sci-fi that is not an action flick would be a nice change of pace.
Star Wars does have more action than Star Trek. Star Trek has never been about action. It is about character interaction, anthropology, and sociology. This is why Star Trek fans and Star Wars fans are mostly completely different groups of people.
And yet I've had HR people tell me that when they say 5 years experience required, they really mean that they'll consider applicants with 3 years experience. I should also point out, just because someone doesn't have a degree stating "Computer Science" doesn't mean that they are not more than qualified. This is especially true in tech fields. When you say you are looking for an engineer with a BS in Electrical Engineering, are you going to toss out the mechanical engineer who's last 5 years of experience was performing electrical engineering roles? This is exactly why I was advised to put my education section dead last in my resume.
This is the HR barrier. The ultimate challenge in formating a resume is to get through the HR barrier. Sometimes I swear if the job description says "electrical engineer" if you dont have "Electrical Engineering" in your education section, you're screwed, even if you have 10 years experience as an electrical engineer.
In all the places I've worked, meeting time allotments are only somewhat honored. For the most part, the meetings always take as long as they need to. About the only thing that can prevent a meeting from going into over time when not everything has been covered is when the group can't find a room to move to when they get kicked out by the next scheduled meeting.
Do insurers require process control on this? If you do not require process control, then no one really knows what temperature the coffee is being served at. If the restaurant can't prove that they had control over the process, even if they were serving it at 100 F, if someone is burned by it and sues, they are going to win. High safety risk industry like avionics and medical devices knows this fact very well. As an insurer, dictating a maximum serving temperature on coffee guards you from nothing if you don't require validated control.
They clearly got it wrong. Macs in those days also left a lot to be desired, but Microsoft's implementation at 3.1 fell way short. They didn't start to catch up until Windows 95. Then OS X outpaced them again.

It only suggests this. It does not explicitly state a violation to a specific amendment or clause of the US Constitution or State Constitution.

This will cost lots to make safe.
I think that's the point.

they claim 50% of net traffic in the UK is illegal content but provide no evidence for this figure
That's pretty creative.

Sadly, the TSA agents are safe for now.

Pardon. I intended to say "base and vulgar"

Rip or no, I would have preferred that they left in the Klingons and ditched the scene.
