Given her apparent willingness to fight, I don't think she's screwed. I'd say the spotlight is on, and given the public's current sensitivity to privacy issues a circuit judge who doesn't want to look like an ass will refrain. I could be wrong, see the Valerie Flame fiasco, but at this point I think the defense has a…

That's what I was thinking, that once he goes into that 'mode' he's is in that mode until his wind down. But it is still creepy to me. It was a weird juxtaposition to me, where he was in that game show announcer voice but also giving very good direction. The whole "pay as much attention to me as possible," etc, seemed…

lulz

"Ladieeessss and gentlemen! The zombie apocalypse has begun! Please see our ushers for discount prices on premium melee weapons! And thank you for your patronage!"

It becomes a battle of wills if she is held in contempt. The judge vs. the defendant, if they are both steadfast in their position, are in a pickle. Harder for the defendant, but both the judge's position and the defendant's position will be scrutinized. Neither party wants that, but a circuit judge with ambitions…

The tone of the ringmaster before/during/after the accident was strangely the same. I mean, he was calling for doctors in the audience in a game show voice. It was weird.

I don't think she can be held in contempt (legally) if the order is in violation of constitutional rights. The fifth would be in play if she was in blatant refusal because the password is the gateway to the contents. And at this point she is not saying "no," she is saying "I can't remember." The prosecution has a…

Yup. I think it's a safe move on her part, because who can possibly prove whether she remembers her password or not? Unless there is some data where she is telling other people that she knows her password since the court ruling, there is no way to pinch her.

The password is the gateway to the info. That info is not legally available without ignoring the 5th. I don't think these decisions can be held up in higher appeals.

They do buy arms from HK. We have thousands of 416s, a great system and totally diff situation from the Mk23. The Mk23 was adopted but not generally used because it's way too big (as I am sure you know). Mk23 is a great example of mil bureaucracy and mil procurement being detrimental to the end user. You probably also…

I think the judge's ruling that passwords are not protected by the fifth is errant and wouldn't hold up in higher appeals (Saying your password aloud to allow investigators to look at your data... I can't even think of a clearer case where testimony could be used to self-incriminate!). And I think this tactic of…

Certain death.

If I take my woman to Red Lobster to get me some amphipod scampi, she better put out.

Properly capitalized it would be Thapsia garganica. In binomial nomenclature a genus is capitalized.

Yeah, but still like calling a Hummer H2 a compact. I mean, it's like half the size of a semi. Someone says compact camera I think ELPH, etc.

"in Mexico"

Yeah 120 x 83 x 102 mm is not a compact camera. Smallish for a super zoom but this is no compact camera.

Nothing about the camera in the picture looks compact to me at all. Compact vs. a full frame?

It's good. I think the movie made the thugs "tuffer" than RL. But I also think for a Brit this movie must be very poignant in asserting the virtue of the old British steadfastness vs. the chav gansta mentality. An old man who had lived a real, at times tough, life, vs young adults who are pretending on the basis of…

Amen. I can't imagine the horror this young girl's parents feel when they look at her asleep yet still writhing, I can't imagine the fear this young girl feel as her body moves without her consent, and I can't imagine how jaded one has to be to see this story and throw around the sick accusations found on this thread.…
