Generally it is trolls and people that lose track of their passwords.

It's cute that you think marijuana use is somehow under control.

My point was rather the other way around; Tolkien wrote his books for himself, their existence was responsible for their success, not his desire to be a successful commercial writer.

Ah yes, Tolkien, that quintessential commercial writer.

What else would you expect a publisher to put on the cover?

I find that complaint to be very strange.

Society already accepts the use of law enforcement for the purposes of social engineering, there is no need for expensive measures like travel papers and universal tracking.

A good example is the use of societal resources against people found to be in possession of small amounts of unapproved substances. There is something really twisted about a societal barometer that judges the possession of a small amount of marijuana as a worse thing than detainment.

Most programmers already work for patrons.

At least if you look at the man hours going into packaged software vs the man hours going into back end systems and the like.

Reality is even stranger than that, with Tom Clancy selling his name as a brand to put on books written by other authors.

For exactly the same pages?

My observations are on windows, anecdotally, people on other platforms seem to have more issues with leaks. It is also clear that experiences vary quite widely with Firefox, but 7 uses quite a lot less memory for me than I remember seeing for versions of 3.x, and it is certainly more responsive these days, at least for me.

Also, if you want to use quote marks, you should probably put drastically in them, not dramatically.

The whole idea of services is that they are available all the time.

This just adds an api for starting the service on events, which means that code for watching for events can be replaced by registering to start on those events.

This avoids things like ridiculous HP printer drivers that poll for the presence of a printer by having one service that repeatedly starts and stops another service (hopefully anyway, I suppose something that stupid wouldn't be stopped by an easier way).

Blah blah blah blah.

Firefox has drastically reduced memory usage and sped up over the last year or so. Those people were bitching about real issues with the software.

Do modern Verizon nationwide service contracts even have the concept of off network roaming in them?

Virgin Mobile is just a Sprint brand.

There is a big difference though, Virgin Mobile branded devices only talk to Sprint owned towers, they don't get any service from Verizon.

If you click "Account", the "Discussions" tab lets you choose a single page with no JS (the classic discussion system).

Hopefully they don't ever take it away (they did some messing around where they pretended to take it away, to see how people reacted or something).

He was arrested for driving without a license and driving while intoxicated.

The search was incidental to the arrest, not to the traffic stop.

So it is fine to argue that his phone should not have been searched, but the implication that any minor traffic infraction could lead to such a search is disingenuous.

Anyway, my point was more that there is actually a court out there that has rejected the lock and key metaphor, which is the part of your post that I found troublesome.

I suppose the broader point is that there is little hope in parsing out the 5th amendment when the issue is the setting aside of the 4th.
