I was proven wrong in my reading of the Constitution less than a week ago. Therefore, I present the challenge to you to prove it, and I will eat crow again. I say that the Constitution provides that impeachment is solely for the purpose of removing an official from office. I conceded this point when I posted: However, upon further reading of the Constitution I have to heavily qualify, if not completely retract that concession. From the US Constitution, Article One, Section 3: Notice how a "Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgement and Punishment"? The implication seems that a party acquitted is not further liable to indictment, trial, judgement and punishment. So, while an impeachment conviction is solely for the purpose of removal from office, the Constitution does implicitly protect parties acquitted from further prosecution for offenses grounding the impeachment.

Look farther downwind than where you opened. It should fall slower than you in freefall, and should therefore drift farther than you. The slower it fell, the farther it drifted, assuming winds aloft. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials! -
> I'm not a gamer and use it mostly for business apps. Shifting to 4 gigs. I've heard Vista likes a lot of RAM, and am considering 2 GiB to be the absolute minimum. Are you running Vista 32 bit or Vista 64 bit? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Thanks for the response. I am comparing store bought computers, and not intending to build anything myself, with the possible exception of doing RAM upgrades myself to save money. Without being able to understand the differences between the desktop and mobile versions of the C2D, a meaningful comparison between even store bought computers is impossible, since some use desktop chips (Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.) and some use notebook chips (Sony, Apple, etc.).

The benefit of the manual transmission lies in the driving experience. So, if you don't enjoy that aspect of driving, use automatic transmissions. Generally, anything that can be doe with a manual can be done better and more efficiently with an automatic. Plus, replacing clutches sucks. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

I'm trying put together a meaningful comparison of desktop computers for my parents. One of the problems I've run into is that some manufacturers, including Apple and Sony, use mobile processors instead of desktop processors. 1. Generally, what are the significant differences between desktop and mobile processors with similar CPU speed, L2 cache size and front side bus speeds? Specifically, what are the significant differences between Intel's Core 2 Duo models E6420 and T7400? 2. Is it beneficial to have a FSB that is faster than the RAM? What are the benefits? I've read that the Core 2 Duo offers optimum performance with synchronous front side bus and RAM speeds, to the extent that 667 MHz FSB/667 MHz RAM outperforms 800 MHz FSB/667 MHz RAM, but have been unable to find corroborating sources or testing. 3. If a CPU with a FSB speed of 1066 MHz is chosen, would it be beneficial to use DDR2 533 MHz RAM instead of DDR2 667MHz RAM? (For example, 2x 1 GiB DDR2 533 MHz vs. 2x 1 GiB DDR2 667 MHz vs. 4x 512 MiB DDR2 533MHz vs. 4x 512 MiB DDR2 667 MHz) Thanks. Feel free to add relevant info that I might not know to ask about.

Yes, I posted that. Scientists don't work by consensus. They agree that global warming is a reality because that is what the evidence suggests. Please show us this evidence (not editorials "interpreting" the evidence). Wow. You seem to have access to information that most credible scientists are unaware of. In your expert opinion, how is the data flawed? We know that increased CO2 in the atmosphere contributes to global warming. We know that man does many things that increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. It logically follows that man is contributing to global warming. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

You may want science by consensus. Scientists, however, prefer evidence to popularity. Global warming may not be popular, but it is the most probable explanation of actual evidence. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Do you really believe that making this claim often enough will make it true? Politicians may argue the point, but scientists are largely in agreement. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I believe impeachment is a bad idea, given the current situation. However, it would seem that Bush could be properly impeached over some of his presidential signing statements, or, more specifically, failure to implement policy which Congress has passed in the form of legislation. There's so much division in this day that I see several impeachments in the next several presidencies. This impeachment would be great, as he has truely fucked the country; just a way for the people to say, "fuck you" to a really bad person. This line of thought is why Iraq is in such bad shape today. Saddam was a really bad guy, so we took him out. Unfortunately, our leaders gave little, if any, thought to the ensuing power vacuum. There was no credible leader to take Saddam's place. As a result, Iraq has suffered greatly. Would the nation really be better off with Cheney in the Oval Office? Sure, W is bad, but I don't know that we should advocate going from bad to (arguably) worse for the sake of principle. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I disagree. I believe that, short of a tax repeal, Congress would be violating the first amendment allowing vouchers to be redeemed by religious churches. (I'm against vouchers across the board, but that's not relevant to my position in this discussion.) If it is an establishment of religion, or a bunch of different establishments of religion, I believe my position to be valid. I don't think that potentially showing preference to a single religion is the issue, although I believe that would also be unacceptable. Here we agree. Not a problem provided the education they provide is strictly secular. Of course, private funding (not tax monies or vouchers) would make it a non-issue. retired teacher co-op? Please clarify. I will say that I believe Pastafarians should be treated like any other religious group. If they are privately funded, they can do what they want to do, to the extent that certain minimum standards of education are met. (ie. no school should be turning out illiterate grads, etc.) Agreed on the first point. I feel likewise on the second. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Establishing a state religion, while not allowed, is not relevant to the current discussion. Any church or religious school is "an establishment of religion." To offer tax monies to those establishments requires legislation. Any legislation allowing said monies to be directed to religious schools is, in fact, respecting an establishment of religion. It doesn't matter a bit if we are talking about schools of hundreds of different respective religions, or just one, for example, Catholicism. It requires a law that respects an establishment of religion, clearly prohibited by the first (and the fourteenth) amendment(s). Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

No one is saying that parents cannot send their kids to religious schools, but the First Amendment states they cannot do it with government funds. Once you pay your taxes (overpayments notwithstanding), it is no longer your money. It belongs to the collective population, for whom the government acts as trustee. It is the price we pay for living in a civilized world. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

You have grossly misinterpreted what I wrote. Taxpayers do not and should not have direct control over how taxes are spent. That is the collective responsibility of voters, and those representatives that they have voted in. While voters also tend to be taxpayers, it is a different civic hat for each role. Furthermore, money received in a tax return is, by definition, not tax money. If it were tax money, it would not be returned to the individual taxpayer. Since it is not tax money, the government has little say in how it should be spent. People should not be able to opt out of taxes because they get their services elsewhere. Parents have every right to send their children to religious schools if they choose, but that does not free them from their civic responsibility of financial contributions, via taxes, to public schools.
