man, this has been fascinating to watch (and not just because i have a little skin in the game). the tech and theory underlying the currency; its mysterious founder; the idea of massive "mining" operations where people are essenti

do you mean that its placement in the sentence is bizarre? or the fact that it's written "11/16"? the month/day format is very common in the US...i'd say it's the default for most people, actually

very cool! but do you worry that making it easier/cheaper to submit to iTunes might cause iTunes to be flooded with "bad" music, thus prompting iTunes to crack down in some way? it seems like the current financial barriers in

Federal judges are appointed by the president. Poser is on the 6th circuit (appointed by by Reagan, maybe?) and I'm not sure I've ever heard of a judge going from one circuit to another.

my memory of criminal procedure is fuzzy, but i believe a search is generall defined as an invasion of a "legitimate (or reasonable?) expecation of privacy." so of course, disputes generally hinge on whether someone's subjective expectation

dpeck, keep in mind that the "ideologies" aren't always straight-forward...scalia authored the majority opinion in the heat-sensor case

by granfalloon 14y ago
how is that link relevant? the supreme court (led by scalia) has said that "heat-sensor" searches of homes are illegal. it's true there's a diminished expectation of privacy in vehicles, but i'd be very surprised if the x-ray vans withstood

But don't the different "tiers" generally offer different products (or multiple products, special goodies, etc)? If you just want the basic watch, you aren't free to "pay whatever you want to pay" -- you have to pay the asking price, just l

"Everyone learns the basics in school" i don't know about this...i'd say that the majority of college graduates have had no programming experience, not even the basics. programming wasn't taught in any of my schools growing up

@ InclinedPlane 3: so would i. i was just pointing out that there are different degrees of public outing. revoking his degree, getting him fired, and ruining his reputation with hsi colleagues is sufficient...no need to make him an internat

maybe announcing it to the rest of his class would be a justified "public outting." or announcing it in a campus publication. but this goes way, way beyond that. i think it's kind of scary how quick people are nowadays to froth at the mouth
