Lets not forget that you don't even need charges.

Something like that could seriously place job promotions or prospects in jeopardy. If could ruin a legitimate business just with the controversy hanging out there associated with the name even though he was vindicated in the end.

The vast majority of people will not know or remember to check that site out. At least not for a few years until someone shows them the 15th time. And it needs a path to search when submissions start adding up.

But it sort of is redundant if your searching wide enough. For instance, Dr. Adam Osborne requested something to be forgotten. but if I search for George Osborne Islam, the story comes up in third result with the first two being about getting Google to hide it.

So as long as enough details are known about what you are searching, I think the entire forget me thing is defeated before it starts.

There are a class or group of people, however you want to define them, that think no matter what the US does, says, hears, thinks, or anything, they are evil. It has nothing to do with critiques or anything but a resentment for what they think has already happened (and it may have happened too).

But I would hardly consider what I responded to intellectual or hard evidence. It was little more than a look over here suggestion implying there was some fact that the NSA was doing something bad because some other country had.

Next, I'm waiting for an "It's Bush's fault" and possibly a "that damn Obama ruining the country". And I will respond in kind or at least think it. Because after you hear the same drum beat with the lack of substance, you start getting tired of it.

There are several types of warrants. What you are describing is just a single warrant generally referred to as a search warrant.

What we have here is a subpoena , or more precisely a subpoena duces tecum . This subpoena has been used in law since before the country was founded and throughout its existence. IT basically means you need to produce something to the court or whatever agency the law allowing it dictates. It's issued by a judge after a lawful request failed in procuring the items. It generally requires substantial knowledge that a person or entity is in possession of them.

Yes and no.

The problem is with how much control Microsoft has over Microsoft Ireland. If they exercise exclusive control, it's the same company for most all purposes except taxes. If they allow MS Ireland independent operations, then it is a separate company all the way around.

SO basically, unless MS Ireland can set their own prices, develop and sell their own software, they are likely strictly controlled by MS.

Sort of. What they would need to do is form a wholly owned subsidiary within that other country and have that subsidiary contract services at costs.

This gives them legal separation as long as the subsidiary is run by a separate management team. The US would then subpoena the company and subsidiary and use whatever treaty and international laws allows (which likely would be just as much).

Of course the draw backs of that is they will not be able to play the five nuckle shuffle with taxes and end up paying substantially more instead of shifting profits around. But seeing how the EU is comprised, a single entity for the EU partners may still allow it and achieve the same goals.

I'd almost buy that, except people generally seem to like the Mac OS interface which hasn't had a meaningful Start button in the Windows sense, since OS 9 or so. You don't have to make an exact clone of XP for people to enjoy it.

A warrant should only mean that someone has been granted a legal right to search for and seize specific property. It should not mean that the owner has any obligation to do anything other than stay out of their way. In particular, if the property is not on the premises (or, as in this case, is entirely out of the court's jurisdiction), there is no reason the owner should feel obligated to say where it is or fetch it. Make them get a warrant for the correct place first—if they can. After all, a warrant is supposed to "particularly [describe] the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

We probably can't observe the multiverse. What we can do is postulate how events might play out if, as is suspected, subatomic particles have some interaction with their counterparts in "nearby" universes. We can model the various possible explanations and use the models to generate testable predictions. Assuming that process ultimately rules out some of the models and favors others, we still won't know that there really are multiple universes, all we'll know is that a model that assumes there are, and assumes they interact in specified ways, is a good explanation for the observed phenomena. "Good" in the sense of being as simple as possible, and no simpler, hard to modify without contradicting observations, etc. Other explanations might work, but just be conceptually weirder and harder for us to think about.

Or maybe we'll eventually find something in the model that demands a multiverse, and for which we can find no other simple, consistent explanations. That will tend to convince us that it really exists. Or maybe the theory will show us a way that we can scale up the interactions to the macro level, where we can observe the multiverse. Or maybe we'll find something that contradicts the multiverse... or maybe none of the above will happen and the whole concept is just a game for very clever people.

Many things are possible, that's why it's fun :-)

I was wondering how long it would take for the "but evil America" comments to show. You didn't keep me waiting long even though you lacked creativity in spelling it out.

Can only help create more interest in seeing the movie in the theater on the 'big screen'. Unless the movie is total crap, as then people will know upfront not to waste their money on a defective product, that they cant get a refund on.

You would be surprised. Especially around tax time when a lot of lower income people have fat (EIC) refunds that is probably already spent but they never had that much at one time. Big screen TVs, four wheelers, all kinds of stuff get purchased on impulse this way. And usually, it is the junkier stuff that most people would stay away from if they knew about it.

for the 2x4, find an Amish person and they will likely know where you can get one. Also, small lumber mills operators will run them happily for you. Of course, my favorite is to glue a piece of plywood to one side and face. Just rip it down on the table saw, glue, and keep a few spares for whenever you need them. Glue the face first cut at 2 inch and cut the side 3.5 wide with .5 inch plywood. Or got with 1/4 inch and go all the way around but frankly, I think you are wasting glue.

I was thinking maybe something like profile molding would be a good use for the 3d printer but there are enough shops that will custom make a knife and plane some out to order. Perhaps nobs and handles for drawers and stuff. A lot of the older homes had cabinetry built into the walls.

I'm not sure why they had your money at all. IT was free at southparkstudios.com .

It's like saying, don't bother with the free content, I want to pay for everything so go ahead and start charging.

I guess I will have to start watching from torrents again
