How do you do this with typical mail setups, via rules in the mail app? That still leaves the spam there if they use the web interface most e-mail accounts have.
Anything can be forged or faulty, be it pics, documents, or server logs, the possibility that it could be faked is not by itself grounds for inadmissibility.
While it might be hearsay, it would be a statement against interest, which is one of the hearsay exceptions.
IANAL, although my wife is, and I helped her study a little.
on the internet, and lets be honest here, you don't find a lot of porn by accident.
My nine year old daughter doesn't do many google searches, and she's found porn by accident.
I don't advocate this solution, though. How would you handle something like Wikipedia, on which my son looked up Simon Bolivar on last night, but where fairly explicit images are also available? Instead, something like ICRA, and good browser support for it, is probably the best solution. Those who want to help parents and others control content should advocate this and provide resources to improve browswers, not try to pass unenforceable laws.
I don't think it has anything to do with intelligence. Kids who aren't particularly smart or athletic get bullied by jocks. It's about dominance and feeling better by feeling more powerful than someone else, just like every other act of bullying.
That's why you're never going to get jocks to like you by getting better at sports. Even if you succeed, then you'll just be someone who is smarter than them AND is good at sports, and they'll just hate you more.
You're on the right track there. Many years ago, I was the kid traded to the other team in a PE game to equalize the teams. There was no scorekeeping, no record-keeping, etc. I made a great play that stopped my original team from scoring. The lead jock from my original team angrily threw the ball at me for my troubles. Why? 'Cause I hurting his self-esteem by my playing well.
What about my HD rips I make from my legally owned collection for viewing
What about them? They don't have DRM, so they'll display just fine. HDMI doesn't have to have HDCP.
it wasn't quite clear to me, though, how the audio works. Ideally you would like just to send out a digital audio signal via the HDMI or separate connector, and no sound card need be involved for video file playback. Having it go via the HDMI to a device that then feeds the audio out to a separate audio system is the most convenient, since then you only need one input source switch.
As I understand it, Vista has a system that allows you to use a flash drive as a fast paging device for small files. It sounds like something like this might be similarly useful; good for small stuff that needs fast access, while you use a hard drive to store your bigger files where access time is less of an issue.
It's amazing how many people don't get this.. but can you imagine how badly Zelda:TP would sell if half its fanbase weren't "skilled" enough to play it?
You could have multiple difficulty levels. Granted, this takes away some of the mojo from beating it, but would still give skilled gamers something extra out of the game.
I love Zelda, but if you want an actual test of how good you are, that's what online is for. (NB: you will be disappointed in yourself:-P)
I'm not; they must be cheating somehow! Gotta be an aimbot! My team sucks!:-)
Got a local EBGames? Call it every morning and see if they just got some in. I got mine because I just happened to be in one at a mall at the right time.
Well.. (playing the devil's advocate here for a minute).. If you decrypt the content and throw it on your MythTV box in your house, or store it on your computer to watch later, nobody gives a damn.
Perhaps, but if you tried to sell a MythTV box that did that, the MPAA lawyers would be all over you like a sleazy date. The hardware for such a device with enough capacity to store 100 DVDs would probably cost < $400. Can you buy one?
Wouldn't it being XML allow for easy extension for markup or other purposes, and relatively easy differencing between file versions? I've never looked at the internals of PDF, but I'm guessing it's not particularly amenable to either.
My belief is incorrect. IFC is not XML, aecXML is. According to the wikipedia write-up, "aecXML is a specific XML mark-up language which uses industry foundation classes to create a vendor-neutral means to access data generated by Building Information Modeling", so IFC is used as a component of an XML format, but isn't one itself.
One reasonable scheme is to impose a fee, which you can recover at least part of when you dispose of the machine at a recycling facility. The rest of the fee would cover the recycling costs. Would dumping be worth the loss of your deposits?
I believe the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format, intended for cross-app CAD communication, is XML-based, and major CAD developers are supporting or working on support for it.
Feh. It was still James Madison doing the including, and your statement should say that. Jefferson may have agreed with Madison doing so, but you shouldn't imply more than that.
Once system (to be used by Mercedes and other makers) requires a separate tank of some nasty liquid like urea which is injected into the exhaust - if the car runs out of this stuff, the computer won't let you drive the car any more.
Regardless of the terminology used to describe the different kinds of animals we see, we DO see different types.
But your initial remark is that a flaw with evolution is that we haven't seen hard boundaries (species). I quote:
In the end, neither the evolutionist nor the creationist was able to observe the mechanism of speciation
But science makes no claim about hard boundaries.
I reject conventional wisdom on this point.
Have you no knowledge of history? Prior to Darwin, yours was the conventional wisdom. Evidence for it (the DNA mechanism, fossil records and geology, etc.) has been increasing ever since.
But no doubt in 100 years we'll also decide the sun goes around the earth again, and undo Galileo and Copernicus while we're at it.
You have a major misunderstanding about one scientific concept: speciation.
Science doesn't consider species as hard lines; they're a notational convenience, nothing more. We generally refer to tigers and lions as separate species, but ligers and tigons exist. It's not surprising a Christian might find the whole species issue to be indicative of God; such hard lines would seem to indicate that a controlling authority exists to make them.
Consider, for example, the recent hubub about whether Pluto is a planet. For hard astronomical science, the question is irrelevant. We can define a set of criteria that would cause us to label Pluto as a planet, or not, but it's scientifically unimportant, not more important than whether we call a certain rock 90377 or Sedna.
So when you say we haven't seen speciation, you're asking for something that science doesn't look for per se. If you're looking for it being used as nomenclature, there's a variety of mosquito found in the London Underground that has differentiated enough from the original Culex Pipiens that it could be considered a separate species.
As for: Science teaches us that once the sperm penetrates the egg, all that is necessary for the birth of a human baby is food and shelter. All of the genetic information is present at conception, and there is no scientifically identifiable magic moment when a fetus "becomes" a person.
How do we determine if someone is dead? They still have all the genetic information. If death is the shutdown of the conscious brain, shouldn't life be considered the starting of that brain? There is what could be considered a magic moment when neurons start to form in the cerebrum. Catholicism even speaks of ensoulment, when the soul enters the body (although Catholic thought does not say that abortion before ensoulment would be permissable even if it was detectable.)

We're working on 3-sided discs to solve that problem, but the hyperdimensional physics is still proving tricky.

Thomas Jefferson certainly thought so. In fact, he thought it was important enough to include in the U.S. Constitution.
I doubt that, since Jefferson did not attend the Constitutional Convention (he was minister to France at the time) and was not involved in writing it.

I've met 25 year olds that shouldn't be allowed to marry
But did you stop me? Noooooo. Thanks a lot, buddy.
Perhaps you could explain why you think this is not a free speech issue?
"Hello, Mr. Bank Teller. I have a gun in my pocket. Hand over all the money in the vault."
So that's legal, right?
