Police need evidence of wrongdoing to begin an investiation; however, it is the purpose of the investigation to determine if there is sufficient evidence to constitute proof.
I think the point you were trying to make is that if the BSA files a complaint and it turns out there is no evidence whatsoever to support this claim, the BSA should be held in contempt.
It looks like the Germans have encountered a bit of an enigma...

Earth's Moon is a Rarity

Not that I'm in the field, but I can't say I've heard of Earth being called a binary planet.
The centre of gravity of Pluto and its moon is somewhere between the two, so that I can understand is binary. But Earth and our moon? I'm pretty sure the centre of gravity is well beneath Earth's surface.
And how is that different from Google Docs? Because this one has all the stability and file integrity of Microsoft Office, with the security and trust of an unknown company on the Internet?
I don't think it will bring back the N-Gage's side-talking feature.
Instead, I think it will be modeled after the Wiimote: it won't have any buttons; to dial or compose messages, you draw the numbers/characters in the air. There will be an optional plug-in keypad attachment that you can use to dial.
If the data set says your street starts at #0 and goes to house #40 and yours is house #20, it interpolates your address to be dead center on the segment and calculates that lat/long point based off that... I'm curious: If I were to correct my house's location in Google's Map Editor, would it recalculate the locations of the other houses on my street based on my correction?
And my company at least tends to boot you out immediately and just pay you for those 2 months. On top of that, individual employment contracts and benefits packages may also add to the cost of layoffs.
This only applies to GMT. So unless you live in Greenwich, it's not a big problem, now, is it?...
In all seriousness, though, Windows XP uses local time instead of UTC (giving me two copies of many of my files when I back up). I wonder whether this has implications for leap-second implementation.
Oh, I'm one of those. Microsoft peaked with Win2k, but are you sure you get all security updates? Is IE7 available for your system. Does Office 2007 work for you? I must say I find it a bit curious why someone who is comfortable with not upgrading from Win2k would care about upgrading to IE7 or Office 2007?
Then, again, this particular woman has already been cited for:
engaging in a pattern of rude, impatient and undignified treatment of self-represented litigants in the courtroom. This included inappropriately interrupting them, addressing them in an angry or condescending or demeaning tone of voice, and threatening to rule against them if they interrupted or annoyed her. Ah, yes, another case of bullshitis: she doesn't know how to do her job, so she just copies how she sees it done on TV (in her case, Judge Judy).

If Vista was 3 years late, why would anyone trust Microsoft's projections now? The predecessor to Vista (XP) was a successful product, so perhaps there was less incentive for MS to develop Vista.
The predecessor to Windows 7, though, is Vista, which so far is sucking and bombing. That looks like pretty good incentive to produce a decent product as soon as possible.
So...essentially, they're using the same process as (what Wikipedia refers to as) Geo-exchange, only instead of bringing the constant-temperature (hot or cold, depending on surface temperature) to a building on the surface with heat exchangers, they are bringing the 'building' to be cooled underground.
The main issue during the day was that the streets had to be be closed so investigators could safely access the devices - even if the authorities didn't think it was a bomb, the street would still have to be closed to workers could safely remove them. Somehow, I'm reminded of the fact that on any given weekend, it is expected that a certain number of people will die in motor vehicle collisions along certain major stretches of freeway. Some weekends, like long weekends, holiday weekends, or weekends with poor weather, it is expected that there will be more.
I wonder why we spend so much energy avoiding the remotest possibility of any potential terrorist attack, yet we tolerate--and even expect--a certain number of deaths on a regular basis from other things, like traffic collisions.
I am lucky that the city I live in has a very low percentage of police officers per capita, and a high degree of competition to get in. Even to be a transit cop here you need a postsecondary degree and a few years' policing experience.
Contrast this with the TV promo I saw a few years back, on Detroit's Fox affiliate, which announced that the Detroit Police Department was hiring, and a high school diploma was (I kid you not) a plus.

While lawyers obviously don't go to heaven, if they did, that's what it would look like!

I certainly hope this fails. I don't know how many times I've been confused with someone else with the same name and date of birth!

If Global Warming consumes the earth by 2010, we won't be around to care if the Internet suffers brownouts.
If it doesn't, then Al Gore should still be around, and can invent a new Internet.
