What particular statutes make it illegal for me to search people who enter "my" property?
None that I'm aware of. If you tell someone that they can't enter your home without your searching them, then either they allow you to search them, or they don't enter your home. If you let someone into your home, then tell them that you're going to search them and refuse to let them leave until they agree, you could potentially face criminal charges for kidnapping, wrongful imprisonment, or some similar law. The charges would be independent of your request to search them, though.
Oh, cool, so that means if I run into in the street, I can just start going through your pockets, and there's nothing you can legally do to stop me? Or is it only that I can rifle through your belongings if you're on "my" property?
If the Constitution were the only law in the country, then yes, you could. Fortunately, we have other laws that cover theft, murder, and other such stuff.
Also, stealing someone's pocket change isn't usually a federal crime.
The Westboro Baptist Church don't read "I Hate Fags" but "God Hates Fags". Which he does, according to leviticus el throughout the bible.
God also hates pork and shellfish, but you never see Christians talk about it. But those are all minor details that are rarely mentioned in the Old Testament. If you want to talk major themes, let's talk about working on the sabbath and oppressing the foreigners in our land.
Points taken. Facebook's pages will probably never be quite as bad as the worst of MySpace. I still maintain that Timeline is the same kind of cluttered, unparseable mess that most MySpace pages were, though it doesn't have any of the eyeball-searing insanity that MySpace users thought was cool.
There could be, but none of them want to deal with the nut jobs. Instead, they're getting the hell out. See, for example, Olympia Snowe, who for several years was considered the most likely to become the first female president.
Because the evil democrat liberals gutted NASA and give our tax money to the welfare bums who refuse to work. Enjoy your new America all you slash fools that hate it.
6/10. I had to deduct a point for spelling "liberals" correctly.
Net Neutrality is a guise to control the Internet. Once the government agency gets strings to control the ISP's they will start to enforce copyright, public decency laws, terrorism (dissident) watch, etc.
Skipping right over the slippery slope and going straight on to free fall, aren't you?
If you want to fix the patent system, we need to treble the number of examiners. Alas, the congress critters seem intent to not increase the funding to get to a healthy state.
If I remember correctly, the Congresscritters actually did agree to giving the Patent Office more money in the last patent legislation. Where "giving them more money" means letting the Patent Office keep the money they collect, instead of siphoning it off and giving them back only a small percentage of it.
I've only been through once with a large group, so I don't know if this is typical, but as others have posted, they generally ask you relatively simple questions in order to see how you respond. The agent asked me for my Hebrew name, which I've been asked for often enough that I could answer right away without even really thinking. The followup question was when was I given my Hebrew name, which took me a couple seconds to process just because it was so unexpected.
Didn't Fox News win a case last year giving the right to lie on their news broadcasts?
I vaguely remember that Fox News got away with it by saying that their only "news" programs are on from something like 10:00-11:00 a.m. and 2:00-4:00 p.m. They said everything else they air are opinion shows.
I apologize, I didn't mean to accuse you specifically. I was using the general "you". I was mostly aiming for the Coward that got modded up (currently +4) for it.
The original AC's statement you guys are talking about is just... incorrect.
Not if you read the entire statement. If you manage to hold off a foaming-at-the-mouth reaction long enough to make an extra few words, you'll see the phrase "by which I mean they cannot perjure themselves". I hope I'm not the only person that managed to accurately understand the entire post.
It doesn't permit them to lie, cheat, and steal... by which I mean they cannot perjure themselves, commit fraud, or commit larceny with impunity. Freedom of the press is not a blanket permit to do whatever they feel like.
However extracting this out, does apple really invent anything? Siri is just voice analysis which isn't new or clever or even that hard, as I did music genre detection for my final project in University, so I can tell you it's pretty simple.
Apple didn't create Siri anyway. It was already available on Apple's App Store when Apple bought it and installed it by default.
"Prior art" is, by definition, anything that existed before someone applied for a patent. Prior art in itself doesn't invalidate anything, it has to be _published_ prior art. Something that was hidden away does _not_ invalidate a patent.
Incorrect. 35 U.S.C. 102(a): "(a) the invention was known or used by others in this country, or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country, before the invention thereof by the applicant for patent". The "known or used by others... before the invention" part does not require publication. It does have to be before the date of invention, though, which is not the same as the date that the patent application was filed.
You may be thinking of 35 U.S.C 102(b), which covers public knowledge more than one year before the date of application, regardless of the date of invention.
Imagine a world where you get home, pop your cell phone into a doc and bang you're running your phone as a full desktop with all the cpu/memory power+some of your current giant 500 watt system sitting under your desk, but it still has a standby battery life of days and full usage of hours.
Other than the insane battery requirement, I believe what you're looking for is Motorola's Webtop

in the refrigerator. Searching for beer!
After reading the script I would have been searching for tequila too.
Fixed that for you.
Are you making this up? Basing recruitment decisions on the car someone drives sounds crazy to me but this is one crazy world.
It sounds crazy to you, yet you question whether or not recruiters and managers ever do it?

FB took of because Myspace was godawful terrible. FB doesn't have the glaringly obvious problems that G+ can fill the gaps in on.
Have you seen the new Timeline pages? They're only one wrong background color and a couple blink tags away from MySpace.
If you live in a 90% state, and were going to vote for the "lesser of two evils", why note vote for "neither of two evils".
Screw that. I would never settle for the lesser of two evils. Cthulu 2012!
Actually, I'll probably write in Stewart/Colbert again. Or go with Roseanne Barr if she's on the ballot in my state.
There could be, but none of them want to deal with the nut jobs. Instead, they're getting the hell out. See, for example, Olympia Snowe, who for several years was considered the most likely to become the first female president.
Not quite. Recipes are sets of instructions on how to combine and process ingredients into a finished product.
That makes a recipe a description of a description of a METHOD, which is patentable in the United States.
More importantly, it's a method for transforming matter. It is a patentable subject, but overcoming prior art is usually quite difficult.
I thought Blizzard published WoW

Doesn't that make you someone who isn't actually following the religion in which you supposedly believe?
Only if that religion is a very orthodox one. Most of the moderate and liberal branches have been keeping up.

As far as I know it is not illegal to lie.
Perjury is very much illegal.
