X was included after much user bash...err, training. I was tired of "I was working and an error popped up." A few finally got it after many requests and will include what program, what window, what data in the window (or record ID), and what they did just before the red 'X' showed up. The rest I pull from the system-generated error report.

Given all it takes is someone to claim "my former significant other scares me and is a threat to my well being" for a judge to issue one and they instantly restrict one's freedom of speech, freedom of travel, and the right to keep and bear arms until otherwise contested (which may be days) they are already a serious threat to freedom. In some locations all it takes is a verbal argument and for one participant to call the cops, regardless of who started it or the facts of the case; only claims made matter.

Interstate commerce. Not commerce in general. It has been abused by claiming that intrastate commerce affects interstate commerce (and thus the Feds can control anything they like), but that's no more constitutional just unchallenged.

Law also says a tomato is a vegetable and not a fruit. Mainly because at one point vegetables were taxed at a higher rate and the more plants classified as veggies, the better for the government. Also not a logical precedent.

Because something coming from an administration of the US government on a very US-centric website won't be in one of about 4 time zones. Something coming from CERN or EU in general is in about 5 time zones. If the event is important enough, it's fairly easy to find out which of those time zones it applies to.
