I am even pro-'open borders' so that the good hardworking folks in Latin America can get the hell out of their hellhole dictatorships run by corrupt shitheads, and have a fair chance over here.
$826M in taxes over $500M worth of high-tech imports? Those cavemen should be kissing Cisco's ass for providing them modern infrastructure; instead they throw them in jail. No wonder that Latin America is the shithole it is. Compare that to China or US where the innovators get tax wavers, research grants, and free land, and you start to understand who will be the World leaders.
Because that would go contrary to the Democrat party principles: If something moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it!
The Fifth only goes so far. The courts can grant you immunity then compel you to testify... You can no longer claim the Fifth if you are immune from prosecution, you see.
Note that the Constitution provides no means for the Executive to remove Congress. Well, according to Article Two:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States [...] except in Cases of Impeachment.
Would be interesting to see what is faster, a nuclear-tipped GPS-guided cruise missile or a Congressional impeachment procedure.
And if the missile wins and the courts start to ask questions, the Pres can pardon everybody involved.
Five watts spec is bullshit. The two USB ports alone will require 5 W, (500 mA each @ 5 V). Now add another 10 for the CPU, 5-10 for the HDD, 5+ for the RAM and entourage chips, multiply all that by two (or more if the PSU efficiency is low), and you get nowhere hear the 5 W it will consume...
As someone once said, one man's terrorist is another man's Freedom Fighter.
It works the same way here, I think, in that your speach is Free only until you start saying unpopular things (which varies by country). There are things you can say that will give you a standing ovation in Sweden and a bullet in the US of A.
I do not see anyone coming around stitching lips shut.
I do, all the time. Just one recent example: the people that hung a noose on the black prof's door are now looking at a felony and a long time in jail.
You are assuming that the United States is a Christian nation (a theocracy). It's probably an easy mistake to make since everyone keeps repeating it.
I believe a theologian will tell you that the idea of America is based largely on Masonism (liberty/democracy, religious tolerance, local self-government), some Judaism (the rule of law/lawgiver paradigm (re Moses) and the chosen People/City on the Hill attitude), and even some Satanism to boot.
Interesting idea, I never thought about a semaphore-based file sharing system.
Personally I would consider such system perfectly moral to use... Of course, that would hardly be popular if only a single person in the entire community could access the file at a time. But yeah, I suspect that such net library of content would even be legal!
I also think that would be ideal for rare manuscripts, video files, and other seldom needed, rare or expensive content.
You want my commitment now? You don't like unconditional transfer of "information?" Did you also secure a comimtment from the music companies before you "shared" their files with the world?
Sharing without the consent of the owner is not sharing, it's stealing. It's hard to understand that perhaps, but please look at your own reaction in this thread: you claim the right to deny your personal infromation to others and you place conditions on its sharing, yet you don't respect the others' right to do the same!
I am not attacking you personally, I am trying to point out where you are wrong.

No, they are not, or no, you can't confirm?
Am I a Klansman? No, not really. (sorry)

But I guess congrats to Brazil for replicating with Italian help what the commies did half a century before them...

Can you confirm that these two are not related?

And when they ask you for your key and you won't give them, they throw you in jail and keep you there. Already happened to a few people.
You need to log in, I guess.
I know, it's a real PITA, this new discussion system.
Means nothing. Who do you think added the toenail clippings to the Chips and Dip?

The original ibooks did not have fans either.
You seem to think that all these security regulations are meant to provide security... How quaint.

Worked for me. Too bad I am not a male.

In OO Calc, type into any cell =10.1 - 10 - 0.1
Do you think you would get zero? No, you get -0.00000000000000036082.
Also, =850*77.1 should give you 1000000 like in Excel 2007, but it gives you 65535.
New Caledonian?
I think I might agree with you there.
