Petty PETA rapped by judges over monkey selfie copyright stunt

kain preacher

you are so wrong. In 2008 the 9th heard 114,199 cases. 107 were over turned by the supreme court 33 were vacated 35 were affirmed . So over the cases that went to the supreme court yes 79% was overturned but that's 107 out of 114,199. Were are talking about les than 0.001% of all cases being over turned.

6th Circuit - 87 percent;

11th Circuit - 85 percent;

9th Circuit - 79 percent;

3rd Circuit - 78 percent;

2nd Circuit and Federal Circuit - 68 percent;

8th Circuit - 67 percent;

5th Circuit - 66 percent;

7th Circuit - 48 percent;

DC Circuit - 45 percent;

1st Circuit and 4th Circuit - 43 percent;

10th Circuit - 42 percent.

Still wrong

kain preacher

No because they made a settlement before the judge made this verdict. What happened is every time PETA lost they appealed . Fucknuts (AKA PETA) had more money then him so he settled and both asked for the suit to be dismissed. The judge said no for two reasons. One they already started deliberation two they said there was an interest in making a legal finding that animals do not have rights. the reason for this is peta has brought similar law suits and when it looked like it they were going to lose the dropped the suit. The judge felt like this was gaming the system. For now on the west coast PETA will have to appeal to the supreme court or except in the 9th district they can no longer bring these kinds of law suits

UK consumer help bloke Martin Lewis is suing Facebook over fake ads

kain preacher

If I was him I'd sue in the US and this is why. Under the DMCA you can force the hosting company to pull face book dot com( I know you are going to say face book host them selves but you can force the issue with ICAAN) Then you can face book with civil RICO(Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) which gives enhanced/extended penalties .Predicate acts for RICO (which there must be two of) are fraud, counterfeiting(one could are those are counterfeit ads)Criminal copyright infringement( what most would call piracy but this is when you make money off copy right infringement )

Oh and since Corporations are people in the US I'd look to have criminal charges against face book.

There was a chap in the Netherlands that went around planting flowers in the pot holes. On bloke in NYC started planting trees. Here in the US i've been on some roads that were so bad the best options were to turn them in to dirt roads . These roads could not simple be repaved. You need to remove the crumbling roads and level the road bed.

Re: A level of indirection

"Your 4th amendment is pretty much irrelevant as it only applies if a government employee is doing the initial looking, and even then...."

That is so wrong. Lets say you ship some drugs ad fed ex suspect there are drugs in your package an open it. That's ok. Now if the police suspect you are shipping drugs and asks fedex to open up the package with out a warrant or some probable cause that's a no no because at that point they are acting as an agent of the police .

If this was not true police could just ask a so call concerned citizen to break into some house or search packages . It would be a great end run around your 4th amendment

spending more the $300

you want me to spend more than $300 on phone I have a wish list, it might be insane.

I want above any thing else a removable battery. Can I get phone around 4-6mm thick. I'm not a fan of these super thin phones. 64gigs of internal memory and a dual sim card. I don't care about the camera or stuff like finger print scanner . Or since we are going for full on sanity a phone that has dual SD card. The Second SD card would be able to have a second phone OS or a clone os. Each OS would have a different password on it and can not peek in the contents of the other OS .Great for customs ass holes that insist on seeing you phone contacts. You could boot into a clean phone and they would never know.

Re: Gun fire triangulation by sound

Um want o try that again. oh and .45 is not a auiet gun and most rounds are under 1,110 fps.

Like getting 2 rifles for the price of one! Includes .177 caliber and .22 caliber barrels. Red fiber optic front sight and green fiber optic rear (fully adjustable). The Beeman 4x32 scope will help get the most accuracy possible from the gun. Everything fits neatly inside the included soft carrying case. Velcro tie-down straps secure the barrels, gun, scope & rings to stop things from shifting during transport.

Max velocity in .177 is 1000 fps, and in .22 it's 830 fps. You could use this rifle for plinking, small game hunting, shooting cans and just plain fun
