1) How do they verify that I'm a US citizen solely based on my name?

2) The reason there is no concern over ICE's power to request ID is because they arent in the business of doing random/targeted stops for other crimes. The Federal Government is not granted general police powers by the Constitution. Take the FBI, for example. They aren't allowed to do random stops on the street like local police. If I'm taken into custody by the FBI (or ICE) its because they've done an investigation and already have a case against me, and not just spotted me on the street and decided I look 'illegal.'

Throughout your history, one could become a citizen of the United States merely by settling down in one of the states (not all, but most), and living there for a period ranging from 6 months to 2 years - depending on the state in question.

Coincidentally, that's also when America got that "Land of the Free" title, that it now keeps using without having all that much left to show for it...

The feds don't typically use this particular power. That's why AZ enacted the law. But a neat little piece of the law allows citizens to sue the police department if they don't appropriately deal with the illegal alien problem.

There are a lot of bad laws on the books that aren't enforced. I think that they shouldn't be there, but the next best thing is that people just never use them. In AZ, we don't know how things will turn out--whether the law will be used or not--but the lawsuit clause is reason enough to take a second look at the bill as well as to assume that it will be enforced, at least to start.

It's almost certain that American citizens will be detained under this law until their status can be proven since:
a) Carrying ID is not required of American Citizens
b) Driver's Licenses don't prove citizenship
c) Arizona has a large number of latinos
d) The ratio of latino citizens to illegal aliens in Arizona is about 2:1.

The difference is when you have the Rule of Law the laws are knowable and mostly predictable.

Isn't that the real stumbling block? It doesn't take judges with randomly distributed opinions. All it takes is 600 years of accumulated law, all designed by lawyers for lawyers. After centuries of busily muddying the waters, the law is NOT knowable. It's designed that way. Every judge in the world could be pure as the driven snow and possessed of only the loftiest motives, and they would still completely fail. The corpus of crap they are trying to interpret just doesn't build. It's full of syntax errors, redundant competing libraries, spaghetti code, missing dependencies, and weird legacy global variables.

It doesn't help that judges in the US are usually lawyers.

Companies that create chips like this usually have a system in place for running built in test that do test all the registers and functions of the chip.

The methods that they use to do this are actually quite complex involving creating test patterns and seeing if the correct result is generated. This is often on a much smaller scale than "does each core work" and it could test just the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit).

The problem with a consumer trying to access this is that the test mode is usually hidden from the user intentionally so they can't break their chip. The way that you get into test mode varies from chip to chip, but can be any thing from a hidden instruction to pulsing the memory CAS and RAS backwards.

In the Netherlands, you can add a clause to any contract basically stating that when they are going on training, they will repay 100% if they leave in one year, 66% in 2, 33% in 3 and 0% after that (or any other declining rate that will hold up in court - 100% in 10 years will not hold up). Most of the companies are part of mandatory collective bargaining agreements with a similar clause.

So one of my friend has a new and shiny MBA - and he will have to fork over a serious amount of money if he decides to leave next year. If the new hiring company wants him bad enough, they'll pay it.

I'm surprised this isn't a standard clause in the USA as well, because it solves most of the issues in this area.

It appears you've never in your life seen a cop show, let me start you off.

You have the right to remain silent.

Obama could actually beat Dan Quayle in a game of scrabble.

The form letter I got back had a typo in it, that's how much my congresscritter cares

Reading information people place in a public place... okay

Storing said information... well nothing you can do about it really.

Selling all the data your stored... Ding Ding Ding copyright infringement, bonus points for it being commercial infringement.

Libertarians == Sociopaths.

Fixed that for you.

Even if he is guaranteed to lose, what teacher wants to go through all the craziness of a legal case, not to mention the potential costs for the school/teacher. Its ridiculous bullying.

John Scopes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopes_Trial

according to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Trials The indictments were for: 1. Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of a crime against peace 2. Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace 3. War crimes 4. Crimes against humanity

China's monetary policy would be a gift to any rational competitor who can print dollars. The US could just buy a massive amount of yuan (say a few hundred billion dollars worth or more) and close down this fixing scheme instantly (the US would exit the strategy by buying back dollars with the now more expensive yen, making a big profit). If China tries to print more yen to play the game, then sell yen to crash the market (alternately, provide your rival, more competitive yuan/dollar exchange). The dynamic of the big export economy in China means the US would win sooner or later. Instead the US apparently bought up to 1.25 trillion dollars worth of iffy real estate to prop up some failed businesses.

You still haven't proven what I said to be wrong. You're moving within the confines of Apple.If Jailbreaking allowed the freedom I'm talking about then we'd have the ability to have Rockbox running on the iPhone and iPad.
