In general it is compatible - but only in one direction. You can load MSOffice n documents in MSOffice n+1 but not the other way around.

So, you don't lose any of your own data, and your information sources are still valid. Unfortunately, companies who rely on your data now need to upgrade or find another provider. Their backwards compatibility is like a checkvalve, forcing every customer in one direction if they want to stay in the game.

The new judge is connect socially to the judge they are reviewing. As you mentioned, the old judge requested them. That's bias enough, but it doesn't necessarily reflect on the group itself.

IIRC, it never worked like that. A mod point can only be spent once. If you mod somebody up, and then post in the same thread, the moderation disappears along with your mod point - you don't get it back.

A byte is a one-dimensional, eighth-order, array of bits.

Of course, bits in this context are discrete units of information only capable of providing one of two values. This method is interesting because the "bits" are capable of providing 5 pieces of unrelated, non-interfering, pieces of data. It's perfectly acceptable to refer to it as an orthogonal, five-dimensional datum, regardless of the lack of separation in space or time, and that they are not at 90 degree angles.

Stop picking your nose!

Well, as long as a law doesn't affect normal people, there's no problem!

The US federal government is full of beans.

FTFY

I have taken your advice and I've discovered that the United States Supreme Court is a part of the Judicial Branch of the Federal Government!

Unless you work for them, then it's still illegal.

Nope. It could never happen here.

Then you must be younger than 6.

Western Sahara.

If the solution even requires a generic... I went in for bronchitis, and I came out with a prescription for a generic antibiotic, and a prescription for Prilosec. When I looked it up later, it turned out to be a medication for heartburn! I also noticed that the logo was the same as the big, purple button on the lapel of the doctor's labcoat. :/

Funny mouse cursor?

My take on it was:

REALTOR: We'll sell this historic land for $1.6 million dollars
CONDO BUILDER: I'll buy that
REALTOR: Do you want us to demolish this historic site also?
MUSEUM BUILDER: Oh hell no! $2 million!

I take it he was 7 when he started?

My son came back from his classes in favor of a second term for Bush. It didn't really matter because he was 5.

It used to be the treatment for depression and bipolar disorder, but IIRC, the long-term health effects from regular consumption are devastating. It's still possible to get a prescription, but not with ease.
