Your use of the word "enjoin" suggests that you were trying to be a pretentious ass. The word you were looking for was "join."
Imagine if this person had a child in their home. The trauma of that type of raid would probably be much worse than the risk of serving the arrest without SWAT.
What is so bad about makeing it easier to swap the HDD in the imac / mini?
Get a NAS box and call it a day.
An MSO customer viewing live TV through a stream provided by the MSO could just as easily be network customer viewing live TV through a stream provided by the network.
Totally out of my element here, but would it be possible to spoof an iPad into thinking it was on the network that was directly connected to the Time Warner cable subscriber while some place not in the household? Seems plausible, but then again, a whole lot of people think that what happens in 24 is possible in real life.
That said, there is an issue for customers who want to update to later versions and can't since their carrier won't permit reasonable updates after just a few months, but that's more of an issue with bad business practices that affect consumers negatively, rather than a problem for app developers.
That's something that I wish Google had been a little more proactive about. If the Android license had some requirement for support of some sort in regards to updates I think the entire Android environment would benefit tremendously. That being said, Google has more of a challenge on their hands compared to Apple because Google went to all (or most) handset and networks.
I can't tell if you're sarcastic or one of those aforementioned irritating pedants...
The person you're replying to is what's known as a troll, and you should not feed him.
When I was growing up we had "rationing" of electricity. It was called California, circa 2000AD.
I agree on the CT scan, but it's quite a leap to suppose that the CIA only operates out of Langley, Virginia.
... (BTW those wind farms kill bats and birds).
For the last time, your cat, and tall fucking buildings are killing birds much more effectively than windmills.

you can get a clone of it for linux called FSV at http://fsv.sourceforge.net/
Why? Why would anyone want to hassle with that system.
m has a complex organ or chemical system, or whatever, made of two parts, B and C. Neither B, nor C will work individually. How did this evolve?
The explanation is that the organism originally had a much simpler organ, or chemical, or whatever. Call it 'A'. At some point, a variant evolved that had an enhancement added to A, call it B. Now, B doesn't work by itself, but A does. Together, A & B are better than A alone. At some later point, A gets a mutation, and becomes 'C', which doesn't work by itself, but works together with B. So now you have B & C, neither of which work together, yet it was possible for evolution to take "baby steps" to get to that point.
Putting this concept into a simplified list.
A works well enough
The combination of A and B work better than just A
The combination of A, B and C work better than the combination of A and B
The combination of B and C work better than the combination of A, B and C
That has a lot to do with man bashing. Intelligent women are permitted on prime time, just not intelligent while normal men, for purely political reasons.
Maybe there has been a shift, but let's be honest, any character that is "normal" is most likely going to be boring. I'd say the following are quality examples of men on TV.
Seely Booth on Bones
Greg House in House
Michael Weston on Burn Notice
Cal Lightman on Lie To Me
Dexter Morgan on Dexter
Ummm, since this is a US tax case, the following applies: In the United States, CPAs are five year programs, then passing the unified CPA exam, then a minimum of 2 years experience. That's the equivalent of a Master Degree in Accounting, so unless a CA is the equivalent of a CPA, then I doubt that CPAs aren't very smart and CAs are more technical.
Five years, two yours of experience. Tell that to my friends who got their CPA six months after graduating from undergrad, with no experience beyond an internship between junior and senior year of college and three months of work at the accounting firm they worked for after graduation.
Note how the US is one of the four countries that doesn't move. That means its population density is approximately the average across the world.
Notice how that map has nothing to do with population density, just total population. China and India are the two largest nations by total population but are 78 and 32 by population density. The United States of America sits at 178.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
