But to buy that home/land from the previous owner you have to sign a contract stating you can't leave the HOA and that when you sell you only sell to those who will join the HOA and contract.

This goes back to the construction company/realtor investing to build the entire suburb and putting down the roads and such.

You generally want to prevent a crowd from getting to that point. It's a bit difficult for a handful of police to stop a crowd from lynching as it's happening.

Or opens it! Since nobody can now accuse you of doing witchcraft.

That's one way of turning a vice into a virtue... "Right, I've been found out to have fabricated years of research, entire PhDs are now junk. How can I make some more money out of this?"

Define counterfeit, as some lobbyists would define it by replacing a single resistor, capacitor or fuse, an independent repair shop turns a mac into a pc.

Besides, counterfeit products comingling has never bother amazon before, so why now?

From what I understand, when they plan to land on the Moon or Mars, they won't have a flame trench setup (on the Moon/Mars), so it needs to be able to land and take off from the ground.

Would it be possible to construct a file/system encryption scheme where you have a read-write passcode and a read-only passcode? Such that when given the read-only passcode it would allow (legal/valid) searches by law enforcement, but not (easily) allow fabrication of evidence by planting incriminating files?

I suppose you could make it part of a signature scheme for files (file written by passcode X) so that your defense could point to the discrepancy in your favour.

They probably already have lobbyists at the ready should these concerns appear as a blip on some political agenda. :(

I'm sure Intel will make sure they will be cheaper. Even if they have to run at a loss in the short run. :)

Or when you need to use that money by the police as part of Civil Asset Forfeiture during a random stop/search.

Don't get me started on the original (the later omnibus is way better) official english publication for Inuyasha... even ignoring flipping the reading direction and not updating references to which hand someone is using (so referring in text to a right hand, but visually a left hand) the amount of translation errors and swapped text bubbles was just maddening.

Not a physicist, if temperature of particles is movement (I think chemical bonds will break long before the following limit), then the upper limit is just below the speed of light. To make it even hotter would require infinite amount of energy. Now what that temperature is in kelvin, I don't know.

Heads-up, if you still have a Minecraft (not Mojang) account, then you will need to log in with your username, not your e-mail address. This stumped me for a bit when I just (successfully) resetted my password, which was then promptly rejected at login when I used my e-mail address as username.

Luckily I could guess my username...
