Wrong. Just because someone consents to something does not mean that whatever has been consented to cannot be made illegal.
My neighbor may ask me permission to construct a billboard on my property. I may consent to that. That does not mean that the city may not pass an ordinance against billboards in response.
This is clearly NOT a first amendment issue. Either the judge is stupid (fairly likely) or he is corrupt (highly likely).
The author said that Fife corporation listed the meter as 39 inches. But in the particular page listed, it is clear from the context that this was meant only as an approximate measurement. If you go to Fife's conversion page here you will find that they correctly give the length as 39.37 inches.
BTW, Fife's conversion page here is worth bookmarking.
Yea, I had to follow behind a couple of ranchers who were cow-towing some steers to market this weekend. I could never get a chance to pass. Was stuck behind their smelly trailer for miles.
No, you would not be breaking any rules. It's not the hotel's property, and the Gideons would simply assume that you had taken it with you (which they do not mind).
It's a pretty immature, mean thing to do, but whatever floats your boat....
My remarks about the blue swastika were tongue-in-cheek. I know that the swastika was originally a good-luck symbol (even Coca-Cola used it in promotions) before the Nazi party hijacked it for their own use.
I first heard about the Finnish experience in WWII as a child. I've always tried to put myself in the Finnish "shoes", at that time. How difficult it must have been being attacked by the Soviets for no reason, and at the same time not being able to get help from any of the allied powers, because of political problems.
Finland is fortunate that it did not end up like so many of the Balkan peoples who sided with Germany against the communist partisans.
Is there a problem with RFID tires? Sounds like to me just a good way to identify the tires as mine. If they get stolen, it might be easy to catch the thief.
I am well aware of Finland's WWII history and how the relatively small Finnish Army heroically held back the Soviets throughout that first winter in 1939. Of course, what is not always mentioned, is Finland's alignment with Germany during the "Continuation" war two years later. I've always wondered if there was some more sinister connection with that weird blue swasitka that the Finns sported on their aircraft.
At any rate, Finland managed to keep from becoming just another Soviet satellite, which is admirable.
However, I was not thinking of the Soviet Army with regard to Sweden. From a Naval standpoint -- and this story is about ships, remember -- Sweden was right up against the Soviets. The island of Gotland only sits, what, 150km from Latvia (a former Soviet republic)?
I was on a carrier. We played cat and mouse games with the Soviets (this was over 20 years ago) in the Indian Ocean. We'd go weeks without transmitting anything.
What you do is send your Hawkeyes (early-warning aircrat) aloft. Let them be your eyes and ears and transmit the information back to you.
Some days the Russians would find us. Most days they didn't. But you could bet that they were sitting up there with their Bears listening for any kind of electronic "peep".
For a long time Sweden had to maintain its neutrality and independence while at the same time being firmly wedged between NATO on one side, and the Soviet Union on the other.
Throughout the Cold War, the Soviet Navy tested Sweden's defences constantly. Although the Cold War is over, I'm sure the Swedes want to avoid floating a second-class Navy.

I thought the term was coined by Al Gore. Didn't he invent the computer, or something?
Looking Glass was a pretty serious project, before the Air Force passed it on to the Navy. I hope Sun doesn't screw it up...
But why should the judge grant a stay? He is legislating from the bench.
Wrong. Just because someone consents to something does not mean that whatever has been consented to cannot be made illegal.

Does a person have a first amendment right to post bills all over your house? Does a person have a right to dump notices all over your front lawn?
No?
Then what right does anyone have to do the same thing electronically?
cow-towing ?

I program in RPG, you insensitive clods!
It's only a minor contextual issue. Paul is talking about spiritual gifts, not simple belief.
I'm only saying that one cannot believe without faith. So, faith is the chief component of belief.
Paul says that faith is a gift from God; so is hope; so is love; and the greatest of the three is love.
I am outraged that neither political party is doing anything about plate tectonics! How many earthquakes must occur before something is done about it?
No, you would not be breaking any rules. It's not the hotel's property, and the Gideons would simply assume that you had taken it with you (which they do not mind).

What would be more useful, and impressive, is independently verifiable evidence that is predicted by a simple and logical theory.
Faith is the most important component of belief. If there was independently verifiable evidence, there would be no need for faith.
That's why spamming should be a capital crime. Let him apologize from prison.
This apology is an insult to anyone who actually has to work for a living.
My birthday too!
I'm the same age as the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything.
Thanks for the information.

Well, I've heard it as the first 90% of code represents 10% of the work. The other 10% of code represents 90% of the work.
BTW, I am a coder, and the above certainly seems true.

How do you suppose they stay that way?
Most Americans are pretty ignorant about the Swedish military, as well as the history which compels Sweden to maintain a modern defence.
Religion.
You're 100% right about this one.

Well, it's funny if one's ignorant concept of Sweden is the Swedish Chef and porn.
If one knows even a little bit of history, however, the only appropriate mod is "dumbass".
The reason why this is the "first" stealth ship is that Sweden's ship is in sea-trials now, and is expected to go on duty in January.
The American and British ships are just prototypes. They are not even ready for sea-trials yet.
For a long time Sweden had to maintain its neutrality and independence while at the same time being firmly wedged between NATO on one side, and the Soviet Union on the other.
