The whole purpose of juries is to create the possibility of nullification. However, the government hates this limitation of its preferably unfettered powers and tries to prevent jurors being informed of their right to strike down unjust prosecution.

Listen, if you are not even allowed to pump your own gas, your state deserves to be the pits.

Oops sorry, I take that back. Americans are too stupid to use them - stop at the entrance, don't indicate, panic when the exit nears.

So you are placing the presumption of innocence on the city?

I have taken to quoting Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis.

To declare that in the administration of criminal law the end justifies the means to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure conviction of a private criminal would bring terrible retribution.

Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent.

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.

1. The service you provide is Internet. Therefore, no screwing with packets, strict network neutrality, no port blocking, no prohibition on uses such as servers. In short, plain bandwidth at a price that does not discriminate between customers.
2. You do not regulate yourselves.
3. There are no barriers to future entrants to the market that do not apply to you.

I was not aware that teledildonics was that far advanced.

What weight can a woman lift? I guess 50 kg (on earth, yes I know the difference between mass and weight).
What weight can a man lift? I guess 100 kg.

What is the range of 90% of weights that could need lifting in an emergency? Anything from 1 to 1000 kg - guessing again.

So men are only useful for a range between 50 and 100 kg, which is (100 - 50) / 1000 = 5% of the time.
Not worth taking a man, I say.

Reminds me of this one: Girl to boy "You have one of those, and I have one of these. And with one of these I can get as many of those as I want!"

Only one rule is needed. I believe this rule could be made by the FCC without any new legislation:

Rule #1: If you fuck with packets, block ports, prioritize any type of traffic over another, or do anything except providing the contracted bandwidth, you may not call your service "Internet". You may not use this word in advertising, in contracts or any communications. We call this "Truth in advertising."

You will be allowed to use the term An Obnoxious Laughingstock, or its acronym.

I have been on the receiving end of plenty of disdain about my gaming, from multiple members of the opposite sex.

I am male.

I have seen with my own eyes, stations capable of refilling 20 cars simultaneously, each in considerably less than five minutes. This would be equivalent to about 80MW, assuming 2.5 minutes.

Of course, the filling was with gasoline, not electrons.

Yes, but the courts signed off on it when they should fulfill their role as in checks and balances. They have also used impossible requirements of "standing" and arcane legal arguments to abdicate any responsibility to uphold the plain intent of the Constitution. It has gotten so bad that everyone is shocked and amazed when SCOTUS makes the otherwise obvious ruling that cell phones cannot be searched without a warrant.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Nice write-up here http://www.heritage.org/consti... demonstrates that both the Courts and Congress have capitulated.
