And technically, a cop can pull you over for going 1MPH over the speed limit, but they don't because they have some discretion in enforcing the law. There is always wiggle room. Now, if the limit were 100g and you were carrying 200g, for example, then they have a stronger case against you and they're more likely to get a conviction.

Congratulations, NASA. I'm pleased to see this launch go off without a hitch (as long as you don't count the scrub of the launch yesterday...)

...and I suppose Jack Benny is the Secretary of State!

Will this information be publicly available? Seems unlikely.

Wouldn't that still be illegal? I mean, you can't ask about a person's marital status. Why should you be allowed to ask about their religious beliefs? Let the nutters raise the money on their own without using state funds.

I was thinking of the other ark. You know, the one that Indiana Jones was after... Dun dah dun daaaah, dun dah daaaa....

Massachusetts, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky are the four Commonwealths in the U.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...

Mars needs MOM's. OK, Disney, where's my kickback? :p

That's just asking too much. I know corporations are people and all, but we can't exactly expect them to have morals as well, can we?

I think you meant "inversion" rather than "evasion"...

...ever. Where are my tractor beams?

I wish I had mod points. Spot on.

I guess you could thwart this by installing the software on an older device you don't use anymore and just leave it at home or the office.

I am an anglophone from Texas, but I have a love of learning foreign languages, of which French is at the top of the list. On several occasions while visiting Montreal, I endeavored to speak French *only* and my experiences ranged from delight that I was speaking French so well to the other person answering me in English, which didn't exactly encourage me to continue in French. Perhaps the ones who answered me in English could hear my accent, or maybe they were anglophones themselves and thought it simpler to reply in English. Overall, I enjoyed my visits there and I'm looking forward to going again in the future.

Bravo, Pedro. Bravo!
