In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Garland that the pardon power "extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pe

What's stopping you from keeping your own generator? I suppose you'd be effectively limited to the max range of your vehicle from the generator, but if there's no power for 200-300 miles then there's probably bigger problems.

Wouldn't it make more sense to call it 1.9.1? Then there'd be a predictable link between 1.(9+x).y and 2.x.y. Now, according to the post, 1.11 will have feature parity with 2.1. Will 1.12 be equivalent to 2.1.1 (assuming there is one) or

A number of sources are now reporting that all 4 thruster pods are now online. Looks like this may have been nothing more than a hiccup.

The more correct solution then would be to disable the submit button and provide some sort of (non-misleading) feedback that showed something was happening.

I couldn't agree more. Every time I read articles like this that suggest all these mind games and effort required to get simple tasks completed, I constantly wonder how nice it would be to work somewhere where none of that was necessary. T

Bootstrap 3 is going in the same direction. I think it's a matter of orientation. Rather than creating a Desktop site and then scaling it down, you're creating a Mobile site and scaling it up. I haven't really put much thought into it, but

Looks great, although some of the styling (at least in the demo) seemed to clash with the Bootstrap theme.

Is there an explanation anywhere for how it's even possible for this type of star to live this long?

If I had to wager a guess, I'd say this is probably due to the 18th Party Congress going on in Beijing right now, and that the block will be lifted sometime in the next week, once the transfer of power is over. I think we may see some mor

Why shouldn't the minority that didn't support the rule get to ridicule it?

There is a difference between encouraging violence and people reacting violently to protected speech. If a group of people started rioting because you were espousing the virtues of Zorastrianism, that would not make your speech unprotected.

Actually, it looks like RIM is offering to pay the difference between what your app earns and $10,000. So if you earn $4,000, they'd pay you $6,000. So if your app is not going to go past $10,000, there's literally no incentive to promote

I noticed that too. There's no reason to not write simply "Taiwan," since that won't offend anyone's sensibilities.

Just as a side note, the post was made in Taiwan's D3 forum, but from the use of simplified Chinese, it seems the hacker was from China.

Why would I work for one day for somebody with an English degree? Or did he mean to say "Software Engineers Will One Day Work for English Majors"? Not that I'm worried either way. I'm a Software Engineer with a degree in International Rel
