The problem is that the air is too thin. The area on the blades of a helicopter is much smaller than an airplane, and they depend much more on high velocity moving large volumes of air over those blades. There is very little air at those altitudes, and it is extremely difficult to control a helicopter. Correction for imbalanced weight is particularly difficult, and that's what you have when you try to pick up a body with a rope.
The winner is FDR, with Japanese internment. Second is John Adams, with the alien and sedition acts.
The president with the net record for granting most freedoms goes, strangely enough, to Andrew Johnson, under whom the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments came into effect (no slavery, and equal protection under law).
You are aware that scissors are a pair of shearing blades, right. Scissors, tin snips, and other shears must have the property of a hard sharp edge in order to do their job. Good scissors can cut you if you touch the blade.
Also, the plastic itself becomes dangerous when cut. That stuff can be quite sharp.
He will have a very very hard time getting admitted to the bar of any other state or the federal bar.
Bar associations take a disbarment, especially one as exceptional as this (lifetime) very seriously. I also doubt that he could, in fact, pass most states' bar exams.
For those not familiar, getting admitted to the bar isn't just passing the exam, it involves being reviewed for professionalism. I imagine that he would piss off the reviewers in the same way he apparently pissed this judge off into giving the absolute most powerful punishment available.
The EULA for Firefox deals with the use of the trademark "Firefox," only. In order to keep the trademark, they have to enforce it. If the EULA didn't exist, Mozilla Corporation could lose the sole right to call a browser "Firefox."
Iceweasel etc do not claim trademark, and thus don't have an EULA. But I can just make a piece of shit browser and call it "Iceweasel" and nobody can stop me.
The EULA doesn't place a restriction with what you can do with the software itself, it only deals with the name and logo. You are agreeing to a license not to abuse the name and logo of Firefox, not anything to do with the actual code.
Trademarks are limited in their scope, but can be used for common words. E.g. Apple is a trademark in reference to computers, but not in reference to fruit.
You cannot trademark a word for it's dictionary definition usage. For example, if I were selling printer ink, I couldn't trademark "Ink" or "Printer Ink," but I could trademark "Bob's Printer Ink."
So it would be ok, however, to have everyone who works at Apple HQ call the FSF via telephone every 60 seconds?
Yes, they have a right to try doing this, until Apple kicks them out of their private stores. No it is not a good idea.
"Spreading the word via activism" does not make what you do to "spread the word" right or even ok. The ends do not justify the means.

eBay Sues Craigslist

You can sue any company which you own less than 50%+1 share of. Heck, you can even sue companies that you do own (though it's stupid). The legal consequences are unknown, but presumably if eBay got sufficient damages, they could force Craig to sell more of the company, and possibly enough to do a takeover.
The benefit is in the money paid for them, as well as the fact that ability to run a company is not dependent on where you live. Americans can run companies just as well as Canadians, and this deal would have benefited Canada to the tune of 1.3 billion minus the summation of future revenues of the company divided by (1+r)^t
The issue is getting enough to get a critical mass. A backyard reactor will get you maybe a few grams. Want more than that and you need a containment facility (or you'll die trying to make it). Build a containment facility and some US government bombers will be heading in your direction.
For me, I ideologically believe that health care is a right of everyone and not a privilege for those that can afford it.
The problem with this is that healthcare, unlike speech, privacy, equal protection under law, and other civil rights has to be taken from someone. To get healthcare means to acquire the resources and time of at least one other human being. Do they have the right to not have that time or resources taken from them? If not how do you keep a right to healthcare? And if so, what incentive is there to get medical training, if it means that at any moment the government can conscript you and/or your stuff.
Those two store are in fact the same store. That might explain the similar problems. Future shop was originally independent, but is now wholly owned by Best Buy.
Buyout offers are consistently above market prices, consider the following.
1/2 of 1% of a company's outstanding shares being traded in a given day is a VERY high volume. This means that even on a big news day, well over 99% of shareholders still think owning the stock is a good idea. They value it therefore at some amount higher than the going price.
In order to get these people to sell to a buyout offer, you have to make it go from 1/2 of 1% thinking that they should sell to 50%+1. To convince all the shareholders between.5% and 50.0000001% to sell means you have to raise the price, substantially.
Xeno's paradox is easily disproved in three steps.
1: Get crossbow and bolt.
2: Aim crossbow at Xeno.
3: Fire.
If the bolt moves to Xeno, then it is proved that movement is possible. Also, Xeno will be dead. Win win situation.
Yes, but there's a good argument to be made for abortion being under the Ninth Amendment, which states "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Coupled with the 14th amendment extending federally protected rights to being protected from abuse by all levels of government, and you have yourself a ballgame.
Going to a rated "R" movie without an adult when under 17 is not legal.
Untrue. The MPAA ratings do not have any legal force, and are simply guidlines that pretty much every chain and most independent theaters follow. Excepting pornography (which would be NC17), there are no legal restrictions on what a child can see at the movies, at least in the US.
I think the advantage Colbert has is that you probably would have a tough time getting a jury to convict him. And a jury acquittal is the end of the line in a criminal prosecution.

Marinara Trench? that sounds more delicious than deadly. or are the deaths caused by contracting food-poisoning at Sizzler?
Sizzler? They still exist?

No, he can. Famously, Gerald Ford pardoned the (not yet convicted) Richard Nixon.

Maybe not a quarter of the price, but a desktop would have equivalent performance well under the price point of this laptop.
Because Congress created NASA and has final say over the purposes and funding of all federal agencies.
In TFA they note that many of the drivers are from other EU countries and speak little/no english, nor do they have local licenses.
