Every case is a little different, but investigators do need probable cause to search a laptop. This is a mortgage fraud case involving years of criminal activity, so I'm guessing that it's probably not too hard for the prosecution to produc

Federal investigators and prosecutors aren't dumb. For all of those scenarios that you mentioned, it would be easy to tell whether or not this was a laptop that she used frequently. Where did she get it from? (or from whom? - she should b

An obstruction of justice charge, probably. Here's a pretty decent page about the charge: http://www.federalcriminallawyer.us/2011/01/12/federal-law-o... tl;dr: "18 USC 1503 is a felony offense for which the sentence can be 10 years impri

Use homebrew instead of macports for Mac. I think it took me less time to completely uninstall everything that macports did and reinstall as homebrew packages, than it would have taken to just 'port update' a typical macports package.

One of the biggest challenges with our school system is that while you're immersed in it, it becomes difficult to imagine anything outside of that experience. You can't get a "big picture" view of your life and how your unique talents and

Yes, those sound about right. I try not to eat any of those things. Glycemic Index is really complicated because it can be affected by what else you eat with the food (like putting milk on cereal), or how you prepare the food (some people t

Cereal really does have a lot more sugar than it needs to have. I have made a personal rule that I only buy cereals with <10g of sugar per serving (according to the nutrition facts label). Even that 10g is kind of a lot - it's about e

They sued a priest driving around in a black Volkswagon Beetle with a God Squad logo that looks exactly like the Geek Squad logo. It may seem counter-intuitive, but Best Buy did the right and necessary thing to defend their trademark.
