Comment Re:Nothing to prosecute here - Statute of Limitati (Score 1) 948

THE FUCKING STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS NOT EXPIRED.

http://www.dallascriminaldefenselawyerblog.com/2008/09/statute-of-limitations-texas-l.html

Could you at least have the fucking brains to DO THE RESEARCH YOURSELF before opening your mouth like a fucking parrot?

Why should I do the reasearch myself when the State Attorney General's office, whose job it is, has already done the research and determined that the statute of limitations has expired? After all, shouldn't they have a pretty good idea of what the law is - at least more so than some random Slashdot poster? You know, since that's their job.

If I was a worse person, I'd make a snarky comment along the lines of "apparently the iPhone 4S disappointed him to death" - luckily I'm a better person than that. RIP

but this is a violation of due process if not, and as far as i'm concerned places Amazon out of what could be reasonably considered a common carrier on their EC2 platform

Doesn't due process only apply to governments? It's Amazon's service, and, generally speaking, management reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. Not to mention that hosting what are essentially stolen documents is probably against their TOS.

You Americans are so cute with your fear of terrorists. You're quite happy for thousands of people to die on the roads, but one itty bitty terrorist attack and you go cower indoors.

Home of the brave my ass - you should try living somewhere with a real history of terrorism and you'd see we pretty much just get on with our lives. Some idiots blow up the tubes yesterday? Ah well, as long as mine is still running, I'll use it today with no changes to security. The IRA blow up another pub? Well, this one is still standing, so I'll have a pint. ETA blowing up shit all over the place? Can't let the fuckers win, so we'll get on with our lives.

But no. America has ONE attack on their own soil and they go mental.

Maybe, but what was the reaction of the British population after the first IRA bomb went off? Or after the first multi-pronged attack that killed 3000 people and destroyed two iconic skyscrapers in your "prestige" city? Oh, I guess that second one has happened yet. Lucky you.

If that were the case, wouldn't the city have to maintain my driveway and sidewalk to my house? Since they don't, it is private property. That and the fact that the technical term for what you are describing is an easement, which would have to be declared when the house was sold. So again, I don't think you'd get much traction arguing that my driveway is an extension of the public street, and by extension public property.

You seem to be missing an important point. Bags of cement and boxes of ceral aren't advertised and sold as "up to" 50 pounds (for cement) or 18 oz (for cereal). They are sold as that weight, which is why they normally weigh pretty darn close to that weight. Your comparison/complaint would only be valid if the ISPs were offering "8 Mbps", not "up to 8 Mbps".
