The opening line in TFA says "annually".

Or the court overturns itself, which it usually reluctant to do, but certainly can be done.

IANAL, but that sounds like the sort of thing that would be legal malpractice.

Sounds like this issue became known because of these guys:

So it certainly was an issue until they looked into it (and still is an issue if some fraction of their users are too lazy to fix it).

A claim that the US is more of a terrorist organization than Al Qaeda, modded up to plus 5. What liberal bias on /.? (Incidentally, I'd be ashamed to be a liberal, with this kind of position being mainstream enough to warrant community praise through this moderation.)

George Washington didn't campaign. Neither did some of the other early Presidents.

There is such a thing for light, an optical (or Faraday) isolator, which uses the Faraday effect. It relies on the fact that light is a transverse wave, not longitudinal, so it wouldn't work for sound. Note that because of the large magnetic field required, most optical isolators only have an aperture of a few millimeters (or less), so it would be impractical to build a "one-way" mirror of appreciable size out of it.

The federal gas tax has historically been about right, or a bit more, than enough to pay for the highway system. So the current gas tax is the proper gas tax.

Hahaha. Post of the day here!

To give a semi-serious response to your not-at-all-serious post:

You don't get a presumption of innocence in war. Or a trial of your peers. You find a desperate way to surrender, or you get a bullet in a vital organ. The military's job is to kill people and break things. If a so-ridiculously-below-contempt-scumbag like bin laden gets a bullet, I don't think you'll see too many people here crying tears. That is one objective tax dollar's fulfilled successfully.

If you disagree, US citizen or not...well, fuck you.

That's all well and good, but how do you explain the past nine years? It's not like the people hiding him didn't know what was going on.

Face the truth. There were dozens, hundreds, THOUSANDS of people, who knew where Bin Laden was. I could dance around the common factor, but quite simply it is that they, and he, are (*ahem*...were) muslim.

Nope. I understand Internet sarcasm, etc. This is too far down to be modded up. My entire respect for this community has had some serious testing recently...maybe it's time to move on.

Cheers mate. I've been reviewing threads like fark's (link) that brings it home. I can't believe how long ago it was, and how recent it seems. God Bless America.

Yes, of course, the US kills civilians as a matter of policy.

If this is the bullshit that gets modded up, why do any of us sane people even bother?

I found it to be perfectly clear. At the time of the reading, he was her husband, and she was having an affair with her second husband, making him (at least) the third husband.
