Or... You can do the much easier thing and simply go to the library or a coffee shop and use one of those computers to make posts. OR use someone else's computer. Or steal one.

The point is, a computer doesn't identify a particular user. I thought the RIAA cleared that up?

Actually, you fail again.

"seig heil" is not a threat in words itself. Especially so far decoupled from Germany. Keep in mind, we are only talking words here, not actions. You are also missing the point about Threats.

This is, of course, a completely hypothetical situation that still fails the legal test.

Here, I'll help with pointing out unprotected speech... When you do something akin to yelling "fire" in a theater when there is none, creating a false emergency. The resulting panic and false emergency expending resources and possible injuries resulting from possible hysteria are the risk. I'm sure you can conjure up a million situations similar to this.

I'm done arguing with the fencepost. I tire of repeating myself.

I think you're missing the point as burning a cross in a pickup more than likely already violates a few other laws. Also threatening someone is not considered "free speech" and is rightly prohibited. However, I can still call you a jackass and it's perfectly legal, especially if you're offended.

"First off hate speech is not protected speech so your example falls on it's ass"

Wrong... Inoffensive speech doesn't need protecting.

Offensive speech, which also extrapolates to mean "hateful speech", is indeed protected by the US Constitution. If not, show me where this is disputed, I'd like to know.

Speech where people are advocating hate also is not illegal. It's not exactly wise, but it's not illegal.

You DO NOT have the right to protection from offensive speech. In fact, it's just the opposite.

There is a concept called "utility". To utilize something is to use it to it's potential or some measurable degree by which the user can gain "utility" from the system to do "work". This is far different from simply "using" it.

I can "use" my computer, but am I making good "utility" of it? Depends on what I am "using" it for.

So therefore, in not using the "utility" word, you show just how "simplistic" you actually are... which is a different word than "simple".

Not trying to sound "smart" or anything, I just like to use my brain.

Here in Hawaii where Magma comes to the surface every day, we see it explode. This is relatively low pressure magma with lots of gasses dissolved inside the liquid rock. Tell me... what happens when you take a hot can of shaken soda and you open it up suddenly?

Not me... still on the original.

Time and materials is essential when you have clients who can't make up their minds. Usually, start these people off with a bidded job, but take any change to the project as an excuse to concert the job to "T&M".

T&M is the best situation for the vendor to be in. It is the worst situation for the client to be in. A bid job puts pressure on the vendor. The threat of T&M forces the client to lock down their decisions.

This goes for just about any contract job. not just IT or webdev.

The new island off Hawaii is Lo'ihi. And for clarification, the magma plume hasn't moved, the earth's crust has moved overtop of it. Everywhere this plume doesn't exist injecting magma into the crust, there is nearly a normal crust layer save for the dimples of islands depressing their weight into the seafloor.

Actually, when the Volcanoes go extinct, they have a tendency to collapse because there is no longer any magma to support the volcano's peak. This is evident on almost all of the islands, especially the larger ones, where there is a massive crater in the mountains. The West Maui Mountains are geologically dead as the surrounding ocean. There is NO magma nor anything indicating ANY volcanic activity. Haleakala also has this same feature. There is no voclanic activity at these sites at all. Not even a little steam from the ground from heated rock that would indicate there is ANY heat there. The simple interaction with the boundary where the the magma heated rock cases the inevitable "steam" to rise and vent. The Big Island is completely different and has all these features.

Nowhere else in Hawaii has the USGS found hotspots under any of the other islands. This magma plume in now underneath the SE area of the Big Island and even forming a new one off it's coast. Since this magma plume has moved hundreds of miles from the other islands, there is no upwelling to push magma anywhere near the surface, so there is no magma except at normal depths found elsewhere in the Pacific. At this point, you might as well just drill in the ocean... anywhere. The deepest geothermal well anywhere in Hawaii is just over 6km and exists in Puna in a highly active volcanic region. If they had to drill this far to reach an effective tap for the heat, it is highly likely the magma under the other island s is at least an order of magnitude greater.

There is a very good reason these older islands show ZERO volcanic activity. That reason is because magma does not exist under these islands anymore except at depths that make drilling for heat completely impractical (>10km)

And has been controlled by the same players since the Missionaries sailed here and made the Hawaiian Women put on shirts and planted the Keawe (mesquite, for you mainland types) to make them all wear shoes.

Only the Big Island has ANY active parts.

This isn't completely correct. All the islands ARE made of at least 1 volcano. However, only ONE has ANY heat below it in any practical sense. That island is the Big Island. On no other island can you find hot ponds, steam vents, or the aforementioned active volcano. At this, of Hawaii Island's five volcanoes, only one is currently active (Kilauea), another is dormant but could become active again (Mauna Loa), another is considered dormant and not likely to erupt again (Hualalai), and two are completely extinct (Mauna Kea and the Kohala Mts). there is a new island forming called Lo`ihi forming predictably to the Big Island's SouthEast.

Don't forget about making sure no new shipping enterprises can operate in Hawaiian waters either. That way we'll be stuck with only the Major Airlines as our option between islands, or shipping our vehicles and goods on a barge that takes a week over the salt water and costs 8 times as much. I'm talking about the SuperFerry BTW.

Other than the lugs in the breaker panels, electrical outlets and switches now have push-in connections where you simply push the wire in with a 1/4" stripped and the metal inside grabs it under spring pressure. No screws needed. A simple thing to do would to devise a brazing method for the aluminum to coat the end with solder or some other such metal, thereby eliminating the dangerous boundary condition at the lugs. Not only that, but the added material will add stiffness to the aluminum as to keep it from "flowing".
