Very few US laws are based on citizenship, most laws including constitutional rights apply to everybody who is here. The colloquial subject language simply focuses incorrectly on citizenship.
They never would have anticipated the current flow of cross border traffic that might make it an issue. Not to mention the sheer storage capacity and communication ability that modern computing devices give us.
Most of them personally arrived across the border more times than the average modern American does. And they carried storage devices with their data!
And nothing in the Constitution was there as a matter of convenience due to limited storage capacity of government warehouses.
You wouldn't subject yourself to it if you didn't prefer to be treated that way.
Admit it, this is what you think you deserve. Otherwise, you'd use something else.
I use something else and I even receive documents from windoze users! It must be magic, or else the FUD was shit and documents are actually portable these days?
They weren't doing business with Americans. What it proves is not to travel to the US to do financial transactions if the transactions are not legal here. That's the thing that they did that causes other countries to be willing to hand them over.
There is no such thing. The only condition is that countries that do not allow the death penalty require that the person not be facing potential execution.
Other than that, the requirement is that at least one of the things you're accused of is a legit type of crime. Like fraud. They're not going to examine the evidence, they're going to examine the accusation.
The trial will determine the value of the evidence. That happens later. These steps do matter. The apparent important fact is that he and others are accused of traveling to the USA to complete financial transactions that were illegal here. New Zealand has no choice but to hand him over, the court battle is only about delaying that.
You have to be smart enough not to lie, that's all. If you're at least that smart, then none of that situation touches you.
If you're willing to lie, under oath, not even to defend yourself but to implicate yourself, there is nothing that the Court can really do to stop you from coming to an agreement with the prosecutor that sends you away.
Yes, it is a problem for dishonest idiots. But it can be solved very easily on an individual basis.
Plenty of professional musicians make a living playing out of copyright music (most classical music).
Musicians make money mostly from performance of music. Record labels make money from the selling and playing of recorded music, that's not even the musician's part of the pie.
One thing worse than not writing units; morons who still try to pedantically correct people, even when there was no unit on which to base their accusation of incorrectness!
Fucking morons think they're so damn smart! But not smart enough to identify a typo, false assumption, or other routine mistake. So even without all the right answers that they "correct" into wrong answers, they've also got all those unidentified-but-obvious mistakes in their datasets!
If.05 is "very slightly buzzed" or "drunk" is very subjective; people who regularly drink more than one serving of alcohol will call that "very slightly buzzed" whereas somebody who never drinks large amounts and rarely drinks more than one drink would already know that they're impaired, and in fact would probably use the word "drunk."
Words like "tipsy" are mostly used by alcoholics to describe a certain range of drunkenness. Whoever, that doesn't mean that it is anything but a level of drunkenness; it certainly isn't a state of being sober.;)
So that makes your response some sort of Stockholm Syndrome, is that what you're saying? We should give you a pass on not understanding the role of alcohol in turning traffic mistakes into deaths, because you're still psychologically damaged from your own experience with a drunk driver?
Is that your point, or are you just claiming that being an accident victim makes you King of Drunk Driving Morality? In one case, I feel some sympathy, in the other, not even a little. In both cases your comments are stupid and dangerous, though.
Right, right, she can't tell the compiler what the inputs are, but it might actually know anyways.
It actually goes the other way; once in awhile you have to tell the compiler to stop pretending it knows! This happens all the time in embedded programming, and in OS kernels.
The compiler not only can do a different math operation than you asked, because it figured out the result would be the same, it can also replace your "optimization" with a better one!
This is what the whole world was like before the internet; every subject. Garbage data everywhere, and it would take weeks to actually "look it up" somehow. You just had to trust what people told you, and it was almost always wrong.
This still is the world for a lot of people, sadly.

Well, that's the same reason they visit Las Vegas.

It is code for commercial games. They phrase it so that they sound like they might be talking about productivity apps so that they sound less silly.

I have a feeling in the end he'll get a lot more process than he wanted.

I thought all Pascal use was for BBS DOOR games, and the internet killed it?

It is called the "stages of grief," fuckwit.
I mean seriously, read a book now and then.
We've got some of these in a box of old ICs at the makespace, I thought it would be fun to play with until I looked at the datasheet! Egads.
6502 chips are still a high-selling microcontroller BTW, check your favorite IC supplier

As much as I enjoyed the books, as an adult I can't really think I'd want to live the way his characters do even if it did work.
A better model for the world we're moving towards is Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.
Just because we looked different when we were tetrapods doesn't mean we didn't survive the whole time from then to now.
Or like my wife said, "I'd rather be a lemur than a tetrapod. We're doing good."

Well, or at least puke up some sweet yellow nectar, that would be good enough.
OK, how about a giant cluster of space farms, that will need the robot pollinators right?
