Oh Shoot

I don't know how the statute reads and not gonna take time to search for it, but I ASS-U-ME the intent of the law is that one would have to know or have reason to believe the property was stolen. - OS

Use <Control +> Mikey. - OS

True, but the self-important big white haired guard in question has threatened to arrest people who HAVE paid, and for selling guns, not for trespassing. He has even threatened the same to folks INSIDE the Expo who have paid, but not on the actual vendor floor. I really think that if he weren't armed, somebody would have clocked him by now, and might eventually anyway. - OS

If the pawner did steal it, how could it be proven? If the pawner did buy it at gun show from an individual, how could he know it was stolen property? - OS

Irony is that Hildebeest would have won by an even bigger margin than O in general election, but couldn't win the primaries. - OS

Well, in fairness to PC's, .ISO images for burning are also used on Macs. I believe most Apple OS's have a part of the system disk utility to do it, but you still need to know how. as I don't think it fires up automagically. - OS

Yeah, your points are well taken, too. No easy way to prevent power from corrupting the individual, for sure. Besides term limits for elected officials, what's really troubling are all the lifetime judge appointments. Talk about having plenty of time for those "shrewd investments", wow. Not to mention legislating from the bench (which foments quid pro quo graft), rather than merely interpreting the law honestly. - OS

I dunno. Although outright payoff/graft happens, the main way elected officials make theirs is simply by having information to which the rest of us are not privy. If you knew which new drug was about to be approved or denied, which company was about to be awarded a huge military contract, etc, etc, it would be pretty darn easy to make plenty in the market. Even on a local level, if you knew which properties were going to be rezoned to commercial, which big companies were interested in locating to a certain site if zoning were favorable, which public companies are going to be awarded a certain juicy contract, etc, again, pretty easy to know where to throw what money you have into a venture that doubles it, etc. This is how so many elected officials seem to make very "shrewd" investments. These "investment opportunities" happen over extended time, so term limits likely would cut down on members padding their pockets in just a term or two. - OS

Like only 180º. As is this, sorry. - OS

Who knows. Either/both. Does it matter? I visit Dad's grave there at least once a year, but don't necessarily read every sign everywhere and seldom open carry. - OS

Looks like 10.0.1152 and higher fixed prob according to thread? Mine is already at 10.0.1170. This is XP box though; thread says XD machines affected also, so? Haven't been asked to reboot in last few days, but generally don't ever shut this machine down. I'll check my win7 laptop in a while... - OS

It's not $300 down, with additional time payments, for a reduced overall rate? - OS

I look forward to the TCA references. Again, I do not believe any exist for the gun part. Meaning, the same weapons statutes apply for a commercial trucker as for the rest of us, simple as that. - OS

Last time I did a web search, I couldn't find any manufacturer that still made that load. Who does make it, certainly none of the big ammo makers? - OS

I think my situational awareness regarding threats is so high that I tend not to read every little sign in the world; I guess I should work on that. - OS

Every time I think Beck has totally checked into Loonville, I pay a little more attention to his documentation, and you know what, most of everything he uses to support his theses IS there, either on tape or in print. I think Beck would actually be better tolerated and hence credited if his show were in print rather than TV. I agree with 6.8 AR that he is a polarizing figure, generating both adoration and contempt. But I believe most of the contempt is there because of personality clash, and it would be helpful for those folks to pay more attention to his investigative reporting than to his emotional delivery of it. - OS

That's what the Pentagon Papers were all about. These were top secret docs, and of course the reason they were top secret was that they showed the truth about how the Johnson administration had consistently lied from the gitgo about the Vietnam War. Lied to the public, and to congress. And then when the gummit decided to try him for espionage, the administration was so dirty in the tactics used to get the goods on Ellsberg that the judge threw the whole thing out as mistrial and it was never tried again. - OS

Re the gun stuff, have him reference a TN or Federal statute, or even DOT regulation. (crickets) As far as the passenger thing, it's certainly an insurance matter for the company, and can certainly get you fired, but I'm not sure it's an actual federal crime, and I highly doubt there's a TN state statute against it. Perhaps it's a US DOT rules offense, I really don't know. May be different for owner-operator than company driver, too. - OS

Okay, just hold it right there. While probably no big expansion of any Cabinet Department bodes much more than more cost, bureaucracy, I'm not going to give Shiv Copra's diatribe that quoted any credence right off the bat, since the very first statement is totally false. The only mention I see anywhere in the thing to Homeland Security is that they will report once a year regarding the Food and Agriculture Councils that report to THEM. Certainly, saying that all US farms will be "under DHS" is simply false. I'll have to research this particular Copra guy, but right off the bat his synopsis of the bill makes Glen Beck's seem downright tame, and I invoke warning. (I could be wrong, of course). The official synopsis of the bill can be found any number of places, like here: S. 510 - Summary: FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (GovTrack.us) - OS

I think he's saying signs are in the parking lot, but could be wrong, not real clear. - OS

Who knows. There are no test cases known to the collective knowledge of this forum. I guarantee that two lawyers could have totally opposite opinions on the matter also. - OS

Might. Used to pretty much universally work, I think most now are stored in non-volatile writable CMOS or some chip or other. - OS

Yeah, that was my guess as to prob. That or puter BIOS was not set to boot from CD drive first. - OS

I don't believe up till now anyone has been officially trying to "catch him". Until today: "The International Criminal Police Organization, better known as Interpol, has added WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange to its wanted list.The notice, issued earlier today, targets Julian Paul Assange, listed as a 39-year-old male from Townsville, Australia, for sex crimes. The warrant for his arrest that sparked the Interpol listing comes from the International Public Prosecution Office in Gothenberg, Sweden." WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Wanted By Interpol - OS

Nah, sorry but I gotta call BS on that guy. No federal law against it. No TN law against it. Only company policies against it. You can be fired but not arrested, assuming you have permit valid in TN or carry the gun in legal unloaded condition. - OS
