Buffy ,'Chosen'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
ER last night was so boggling that I can't even recap it. Only to say. Kem ain't his wife, as far as I know.
And as for Morris, no idea if he'll get his comeuppance - hopefully next week. BUT, He and Parminder are friends outside of work. We saw then at Howl at the Moon on CityWalk.
THAT's who Kem is. I stopped watching for several years! Also is ther any good reason Why Morris was chosen for that position. Did he donate money to build a new hospital wing as well?
I haven't watched this week's ep (Sophia -- you need to fix your spoiler font), but my understanding from last week was that although Morris was a TERRIBLE doctor, he had impressive organisational and logistical skills, as evidenced by his presentation.
sorry- fixed!
So, what I saw in the promos for er is true?!!?
Morris is chief resident ?!!!??
And did Carter make his big decision and move back to Africa ? But they aren't going to get married? Or can we look forward to a very special Wedding in the season finale ?
sumi, they didn't get married when she was preggers so I don't know if moving to Africa would mean that they would. But, who knows. I didn't think Doug was gonna be on that one ep, either.
Kat, I'm pretty sure i know who the shooter is.
I'm in the to airport in the longest layover ever. i don't know why they had to escort me straight to the US departures area, because I could have shopped or something....
Sue, who is it? Is it Trey? Cause I slowed the Tivo down and it didn't look like him. I figger Trey will die trying to save Marissa.
Is this to imply that I am now?!!kinda, yeah, sarameg.
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
It's clunkily written, but a plain interpretation of "Exceptions" here should refer back to the previous sentence, i.e. whether the Supreme Court would have original jurisdiction in any "other cases" instead of just appellate jurisdiction which means that the cases are heard elsewhere first.
It makes absolutely no sense and as far as I can tell there's no precedent for Congress to limit the Supreme Court's powers of review.
Americans are pants at password security:
Americans are just as blasé about password security as the Brits, according to a new survey. Two out three three people (180 of 272) approached in a downtown San Francisco street by researchers were happy to provide their password in exchange for a coffee gift card. Of those respondents that declined offering their actual password, 51 provided a clue about their password in exchange for a $3 Starbucks gift voucher.
Only 41 of those quizzed (or 15 per cent) on San Francisco[s Market Street refused to hand over the goodies. Whether these people were adverse to either Starbucks or coffee remains a mystery. It's also possible that people told researchers fibs just to get a freebie, of course, but the suspicion remains that many people are prepared to hand over their password on a whim. Several respondents were so enticed by the allure of a $3 coffee card that they gave away their password and then mentioned to surveyors that they would change their password as soon as returning to their computer.
