I'm not so sure. This violates the rights of Texans to travel freely about the country as well as being an unwarranted grab on states' rights. Additionally, the Federal Government only has limited rights in terms of impeding interstate travel.
It's effectively the same thing. The planes would end up in Texas and the only way for them to be removed would be by disassembling them and sending them via truck out of state.
Unfortunately, what's going to have to happen is people refusing to fly except when necessary. If you have to fly for work, there's not much you can do about it, but for the rest of us, avoid flying in the US. Eventually it'll hurt the airlines enough that they'll demand the TSA stop violating our rights. Well, on this particular front.
Personally, I'm likely to be moving over seas in the near future, and I'll be taking the train to Canada to catch a flight to wherever it is that I end up going.
Sigh, this is probably the most pathetic troll post I've ever seen. Health Care Reform. Even without him doing another damned thing his entire term that alone would have put him way ahead of any President since Reagan.
I'm not sure why any of those would apply. I can see patenting the process of gesturing and whatever it takes to make it work, but I can't see them being able to patent something which could then be replaced with a different gesture.
Probably not. Even under the worst case scenario the sea levels aren't going to rise that much. At the end of the day they'll just build a dike if need be.
Well for one thing, the owner of the website was accepting business from people in the US, it was easy enough for them to determine that as the money has to come from and go somewhere. Something similar happened a while ago with that dumbass up in BC who wound up in prison in the US over what would otherwise have been a misdemeanor at best in Canada. The crime in those case would have involved the US in that it was perpetrated on our soil. And in the case of the former through banks which are also on our soil.
Additionally, Twitter doesn't have a presence in the UK and at this stage I'm not aware of any evidence that the individuals in question reside on UK soil either. Which means that at this stage there isn't any evidence that Twitter is legally required to adhere to the laws of the UK as the courts their lack jurisdiction over Twitter. It might be that the individuals who twitted the details are covered by the courts, but the courts can't compel a party to adhere to their order without having jurisdiction. Might as well fine Twitter a billion dollars because they'll never collect.
Rough idea perhaps, but in civilized parts of the world you actually have to meet a higher standard. It sucks for anybody that gets hurt by online speech, but if you can't identify the party that made the statements, then why on Earth would you expect to be allowed to harass random third parties.
Yes, but that doesn't really explain how it is that AT&T manages to fuck up service so bad in places like Seattle. I'll believe that they've got 4G when I see it, for now, they still haven't managed to get 3G coverage over the entire city. And the phones tend not to degrade very gracefully. Ultimately, I ended up turning the 3G off in many places because it wasn't worth the battery drain when the signal was so spotty.
Because in major cities they still can't implement the technology needed to provide 3G throughout entire cities. I'm sure they do fine in areas where there aren't any hills, or tall buildings or a large population, but around here they suck. Supposedly they're working on their network, but it still sucks as bad as ever and I doubt that they're ever going to change.
The only way that I can imagine them going away is if the media companies or ISPs kill them. Other than that, as long as it's not feasible to have every copy of every bit of media possible on site, streaming will continue. And in practical terms, I don't see why one would want to do that, unless one was running an archive and we don't need billions of those. A few hundred would likely suffice.
Correct, in fact I'd wager that if you were to look through the signature samples that are stored for verifying voters' signatures, that only a fraction of them would be legible. A signature only needs to be a recognizable scrawl, and purposefully creating a wrong one could definitely lead to fraud charges being leveled.
Given the amount of evidence that the doctor's office would be able to provide, I doubt such statements would hold up in court. This isn't like signing a petition where the signature gatherer doesn't have any way of knowing that you are who you say you are. Typically they'd have their appointment ledger as well as testimony from both the receptionist as well as the doctor that the patient was in. And the receptionist also testifying that the forms were filled out by the patient.
You really have to compare the same site. I was shocked at how slow the 3.x series was when I was briefly using somebody else's computer a while back. That was when Firefox4 was still in beta.
Plus, people often times blame the browser for what is really the problem of the extensions or the ISP.
I miss the days when web developers would focus on perceived load time. It irritates me a great deal that I often times have to wait for a page to fully load before I read the text. Granted it's not easy taking multiple sources and creating a page, but it's really irritating for the viewer to have to wait for an ad to load for the lay out to look right.
I'm a bit surprised that anybody goes to yelp for this sort of advice. Unless I'm new in town or need emergency attention on vacation, it's pretty much always best to get a personal recommendation from an acquaintance anyways. A posting no matter how well thought out and intended, is just not the same as asking a loved one for a referral. Or better yet, your primary care physician, they've often times got inside information about who is and isn't good. They can't generally badmouth other doctors, but they can point the superior ones out.
Here's a hint, the doctors that always run late are frequently the better ones. Typically it's because they're more thorough and concerned with getting to the root of the problem rather than seeing a huge number of patients. Granted it's not ideal, but it's a trade off that I'm personally willing to make just to make sure that nothing reasonable gets missed.
But, the thing is that they're not meaningful rankings and there are already ways of handling it that don't involve the town square. If you're an asshole that chooses to take it to the town square, then you've made your decision to make things public.

I'm not so sure. This violates the rights of Texans to travel freely about the country as well as being an unwarranted grab on states' rights. Additionally, the Federal Government only has limited rights in terms of impeding interstate travel.
So, this could also be a very Texan thing to do.

MySpace was great, if your private information was leaked, you could just have the FBI take care of it for you.
Actually, they're not that expensive. They buy in bulk saving lots of money.
Sigh, this is probably the most pathetic troll post I've ever seen. Health Care Reform. Even without him doing another damned thing his entire term that alone would have put him way ahead of any President since Reagan.
Yes, but are those really the sorts of folks that are downloading torrents of their favorite shows? I mean seriously.
I'm not sure why any of those would apply. I can see patenting the process of gesturing and whatever it takes to make it work, but I can't see them being able to patent something which could then be replaced with a different gesture.

Has this hit meme status yet? Or has nobody gotten around to making one for it.

Obviously not people who use AT&T. If they couldn't get 3G right, I'm genuinely curious as to what makes folks expect that they'll get this right.
Because in major cities they still can't implement the technology needed to provide 3G throughout entire cities. I'm sure they do fine in areas where there aren't any hills, or tall buildings or a large population, but around here they suck.

Yes, but at the moment this is just dental care and I don't know of any dental problem to which this would apply.

So, you end up being held in contempt of court after being held liable for libel. Good plan. And probably perjury as well.
I don't personally see any reason why this wouldn't be legally enforceable.
