Appeals court reverses ruling: now border agents can search laptops without cause

I'm quite certain they can threaten you with jailtime if you don't provide the password.

They can threaten whatever they want. However, no citizen is under any obligation to provide evidence that may incriminate them. Fifth Amendment, FTW.

IANAL.

OMG!

There's a submission from ApeLad!

APE LAD!

OMFG!

Why has this not been reported by BB? I mean, I rely upon you to inform me every single time he changes socks! Or thinks about it!

You guys are slipping in your unabashed fanpersondom.

SimplifyMedia iTunes sharing plugin, now for Linux

December 19, 2007 11:27pm

Caveat emptor:

The Linux version requires the WINE Windows emulator to use their software and service. Not really a Linux solution per se.

An alternative may be the excellent Firefly/mt-daapd; which can be used as a headless DAAP-compliant Linux media server to serve up music to iTunes and other DAAP-aware software and devices. It is packaged for most major Linux distributions.

Southwest airlines: fashion police of the skies

Would they (well, he, actually) have complained if a male had been accompanying her? Or four of her friends?

She appears good looking from the few thousand pixels I see. Without being icky (I hope), I confess I'd look longer at Kyla than an octogenarian. But that's for me to deal with, not Kyla.

From my chair it seems a conflicted virile male chose to make his internal conflict a problem for the catalyst of that conflict. And I'm guessing that if there was another male, or a group of females, with Kyla, he wouldn't have said anything. Just a guess.

It's nice Southwest stands behind their employees, but not this time, guys. I'd give Keith some time off in a swank locale to blow off some steam. He'll probably come back to the job in a more relaxed state. In the meantime, pick up Kyla's tab and welcome her back at any time in any publicly acceptable clothing she wishes.

This is probably why I don't run an airline.

No friends yet.
