young ladies weren't walking around naked. They were having sex for money. Others paid to watch them have sex. There is no clear proof that those they were having sex with were paying. But there were still laws in violation. If they can shutdown an Amway meetting, they should be able to stop a whorehouse whether it has an internet feed or not
'legal precident' is what he was talking about when he mentioned English Common Law. And I think he was criticizing it. It is easier to corrupt a single judge appointed for life than a congress that is regularly up for re-election. A legal precedent should not overturn existing laws, unless it it is the Supreme Court specifically ruling that a law is in itself illegal. And the courts should not be able to modify existing laws or create new laws in the fly to support their client's... i mean complainent's interests, plaintiff or defendent.
This is my opinion, not necessarily that of the original poster.
the people producing and participating in "the action" are not sealed into the house or teleported from outer space. Those paying to watch it may not be in Tampa, but the laws are worried about geeks sitting in front of their computers jacking off. Real crimes, noise, drugs, violence, disorderly conduct, tax evasion, OSHA violations tend to follow prostitution and gambling, which is one why zoning laws tend to frown on it, besides any moral issues.
Normal businesses have to follow the rules, why not them?
John Milton said it well: "License they mean, when they cry liberty,"
Free speech exists by default when no one can hear you. As soon as someone is within earshot, that liberty is infringed upon. You can only say what does not offend the listener without risking retribution unless there is some deterrent that protects your right to speak freely.
Political correctness is a direct social curtailment of free speech. And you should be free to speak against more than just the swastika.
.com is implicitly an american domain, same as.net,.org,.edu,.gov,.mil, etc. if you want to use an international tld,.biz and.museum are still available.
if you mean "accepting the phoney losses on tax statements" then yes, the government is continually giving the airlines money.
200 passengers x $400 = $80,000.
It doesn't cost that much to fly a plane.
The only reason everyone doesn't do it is because the government enforces the oligopoly. If someone tries to undercut the big players, an incident is put on TV. Think ValueJet. You think United and American have never had a problem till last month?
Why do you think Boeing makes such insane profits? The margin is so high that a two-bit European operation, Airbus, was able to give it a run for its money until the government, again, stepped in, making Boeing a part of every treaty or trade deal.
Incidentally, Boeing, GE and Westinghouse are the only defense contractors left. The latter two are better known as NBC and CBS. You can tell everytime GE buys Westinghouse stock when Katie Courick mentions Survivor or MTV (owned by Viacom/ CBS)
Asbestos dust is dangerous if you breathe it for prolonged periods. So the construction workers who cut and handled it would die 10 years earlier. It won't kill you if you touch it or look at it.
if its kerosene, he's right. Not much burns cooler. They use it on stuntmen all the time. You could dip your hand on kerosene, light it on fire, and then dunk it in water and you've be fine.
behavoir does not a species make

If they can have kids they are the same species. Wolves & Star Trek notwithstanding.
You argue about practical code reuse and then postulate hypothetical JIT compilation.
And the fact is that C is rarely reused for the same reason every language is not reused -- it takes longer to find and understand the existing code than to rewrite it from scratch.
I get at leat 48 hours straight. 10 more with an AA extension. It recharges in like half an hour. 1 minute at the plug in gives me at least an album's worth of playback.
Minidiscs aren't a proprientary Sony format (you can buy Sharp or Kenwood MDs, and probably others). The only thing preventing you from swapping back and forth from MD to your hard drive is that you don't have an ATAPI Minidisc Player in your computer. Minidiscs read at least 10x as fast as CDs. Your CD still only holds 72 minutes of music. If you saved compressed MP3 crap onto a minidic it would still hold 4 times as much as a CD. MDs have much better compression built in (but it would probably go out the window with an ATAPI filesystem.) An MD costs about as much to make as a floppy. It is smaller, more durable, and has full digital lossless playback and record. It has a programmable, indexed track format (again, not immediately useful for ATAPI interface.) And they don't get scratched -- which is the main reason you wanted your CD collection on your hard drive in the first place. And they don't skip.
why is it that so many small devices seem to use the StrongARM chips -- and what are their real advantages -- heat/power/cost/size/other? And, what is the performance compared to x86? It seems like a 386 would be overkill for what a palm does, so what is a 200Mhz StrongARM equivalent to?
probably more likely because Intel won't put IA64 on the market until Microsoft can produce an OS that runs on it. Which maybe HP knows something which Intel knows that we don't (but have always suspected.)
I wouldn't count on my job if I was an Alpha engineer either.

what if you could upload jpegs?
and Tampa is known across the rest of the world for being the porn capital of the internet
The constant stream of fexex trucks would be in violation of zoning laws.

its a wonder porn is able to scrape by at all

are you proposing to stop the motion of the waves and halt the orbit of the moon? The 2nd law applies to the waves too. That is very inefficient.

Hyrogen is much more volatile than gasoline... don't know about jet fuel

Britney Spears generated more revenue last year than all of Microsoft. Who is using who?
