Well, they do ever since Google took down the "Swim to New York" option from their directions.

They've managed to find the money to put 24/7 manned surveillance around the embassy - millions of dollars worth. I find that hard to imagine that they would spend that much on one man just because they want to question him regarding a rape charge. I find it easier to believe they would spend that on protecting military or political secrets. So if that effort and expense isn't for the rape, and whatever it is for isn't being discussed, I suspect that the statutes of limitations will be - until the governments collapse.

Just remember, you don't get to carry a gun. You'll be facing armed robbers with just your winning smile and a billy club.

Yes. I find it creepy that Google can patent WWII era spy tech.

The IRS, like all US government agencies, has jurisdiction over the entire planet. Just ask them.

Meanwhile, my stock in tinfoil has done nothing but go up since the invention of the internet.

That only means that the IRS is permitted to estimate how much you made.

Not a big believer in docking stations, I see. I leave the big screen, the fancy keyboard, the network and printer connections on my desk when I leave. When I'm at lunch, or at a coffeehaus, I've got the built in keyboard and trackpad. When I'm on the bus or plane, or lounging on the sofa, clickity-click, Barba-trick, I've got a nice tablet for watching videos or playing puzzle games. All on one device...

At least in my mind. In my mind, it is also waterproof, sunlight readable, full color, and folds down to the size of a smartphone.

But... is it the disappearing snow that is causing the appearance of touchscreens - or the appearance of touchscreens that is causing the disappearing snow?

[shrug] So? Touchscreens are for both. [/shrug]

Really? Draw a picture of a wedge of swiss cheese.

It would seem to me that the current layout with its rows for the electron shells, and the columns for how many electrons are in the shell, would be of much more use. I'm not a chemist, but I don't see how a spiral layout would be "better" at pointing out relationships between the elements.

How do you determine holding time? If I buy 3 this morning, sell 2, buy another 5 at noon, sell 11, buy 4, sell 2, buy 3, what have I held, and how long have I held it? Is it first in, last out, or first in, first out? Do I get a tax refund for the time I held a negative quantity?

It's not a simple problem, and the solution is not going to be simple either.

I had ordered one of those, but I sold it before it before it was delivered. Made a cool $23.

Whether you are being arrested or not, you have the right to remain silent, to an attorney, yada, yada, yada (It's been a while since I watched a cop show depicting the reading of the rights. Do they still show that?). Your rights are there for you to claim.
