I find it hard to say that a one sided argument to a judge of DHS's choosing is due process.

Liability was based off of a contract term called reliance or promissory estoppel. Because he relied on a promise of a job, and it cost him a bunch of money, he is given damage for what he went through. I am not a lawyer but that is the basic premise of the term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promissory_estoppel

The costs of the trial are normally subtracted from the winnings after the lawyer takes his percentage out of the cut. The lawyer really does win here. The reason he gets so much is the risk of losing the case and not getting any of those costs recuperated. In a contingency suit like this, the lawyer always wins big if he wins.

No, if you have to read the books to understand the movie then its not that great.

I calculated it out, and If you factor in how slow time moves after you die this is pretty obvious.

You must have not heard of Halo.

I don't know about deleting recordings, never have, but you can definitely set it to record from anywhere. You can't rewind/fastforward on a tv unless it is a recording or it is the dvr tv. This really isn't a problem for me, as I only watch recordings.

Uverse >> Tivo. With one dvr you can record anywhere and watch anywhere haven't checked out tivo in awhile but for just that functionality it is well worth it. The only drawback is the $5 per tv per month if you want separate boxes for each tv.

The only problem with is the privacy part. Its like having someone look over you're shoulder at everything you do. Does anyone actually look at the ads? As long as its not the ads that pop out and cover half the screen when you accidentally hover over them or the ads that pop out when you hover over some text then its not really a problem.

Too true. Been there, and everyone recycles and does their part. They are behind in some things such as emissions, but in the majority of areas they are cleaner than the U.S. They have a huge incentive to do this, as it is a beautiful country that makes a majority of its money through tourism. Thus they want to keep it beautiful.

Forgot to post a link with this. A 71 year old professor was sentenced to jail for among other things, allowing foreign nationals to work on a DoD project. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/jul/02/prison-for-ex-ut-professor/

Good idea, but the DoD realizes this. They don't allow foreign nationals clearance to work on their top secret projects.

Lets be honest, the people receiving these stipends are making at most $40,000 a year. If they were to go out and get a job, their starting salaries would be $60,000 or if they already have a masters, upwards of $100,000. They also have to produce results are they can get their money taken away or not get their degree. At best I would call this cheap labor. Also, I know DoD grants have required service at a lab after they graduate, that could become the norm for other grants as well.
