Quote: an act away from being an actual criminal.
What act would make me a criminal? This reply? You are very sensitive considering your strong but pointless stance!

Any act defined under actus rea. Your mens rea qualifies as criminal.

So you are accusing me of being capable of being a criminal - despite no actual evidence - and therefore classing me as a criminal. Interesting premise... "Guilty, regardless of proof." I believe the trash media use this method especially for celebrities!
By the way, I did a degree in Law before moving up to Computer Science so your Latin legalisms do not impress me.

In order to be guilty; both Actus reas and mens rea have to be satisfied. Mens rea is a mind set. Technically there are a few situations that don't require the act to happen, such as in attempted murder or conspiracy to commit murder, which I am not accusing you of.

Quote: Technically there are a few situations that don't require the act to happen, such as in attempted murder or conspiracy to commit murder,
Actually the criminal act in these cases are the attempt to commit murder and the conspiracy to commit murder respectively so the "act" (which is not the murder itself) still has to happen. What you are mixing up is what is the actual "act" under prosecution.Quote: which I am not accusing you of
Glad to hear it!

Conspiracy to commit a theft is not a crime, it's a preparation of the crime before the act of importance, in English it is an action someone can do, but it is not an act that can make someone guilty without the acts leading to murder.
Attempted murder is a bad I see now, because an attempted robbery is still a robbery, the second crime that fits in the category is terrorism sorry.

Quote: Conspiracy to commit a theft is not a crime
In the UK (and many other countries) it is:
There must be an agreement between two or more persons. The mens rea of conspiracy is a separate issue from the mens rea required of the substantive crime.
Lord Bridge in R v Anderson - quoted in R v Hussain said:
"an essential ingredient in the crime of conspiring to commit a specific offence or offences under section 1(1) of the Act of 1977 is that the accused should agree that a course of conduct be pursued which he knows must involve the commission by one or more of the parties to the agreement of that offence or those offences".
Lord Bridge in R v Anderson also said:
"But, beyond the mere fact of agreement, the necessary mens rea of the crime is, in my opinion, established if, and only if, it is shown that the accused, when he entered into the agreement, intended to play some part in the agreed course of conduct in furtherance of the criminal purpose which the agreed course of action was intended to achieve. Nothing less will suffice; nothing more is required."
It is not therefore necessary for any action to be taken in furtherance of the criminal purpose in order for a conspiracy offence to have been committed. This distinguishes a conspiracy from an attempt (which necessarily does involve a person doing an act) see Criminal Attempts Act 1981.
I am not sure about the US as my Law degree is from the UK and Mercans are, legally, a bit weird sometimes.

I took criminal psychology so I briefly skimmed over all the laws.
"The mens rea of conspiracy is a separate issue from the mens rea required of the substantive crime." which in a way was what I was trying to say.

I'm Canadian, that grew up in parts of the country where the native tongue is Acadian - which is almost English mixed with French.
In order for me to get through university I had to have someone edit all my papers. Other then that my understanding of every topic allows me to take exams without studying.

You have it in reverse.
Officially it has not been declared as such commercially, whatever its going to be - it does not yet exist.
Also the proof is not out yet.
So by going on about Windows 9 when the product does not yet exist makes you... the one saying the sun never sets.
If I'm wrong, then I am wrong.
If you are wrong, you went on like an a**hole for no reason, what then?
The last time I checked if you had to resort to using insults to win an argument, you are out of valid facts to work off of.

FYI the above story is "longtime Chinese leaker Faikee"'s story which I am using to back up my story that threshold is not Windows 9.
You can't twist things to the way you want.

So what's happening is that, because Windows isn't making a Windows 9, China is.

The way China has been going on about Windows 8 and demanding source code, Windows 9 could be china's version.
|
|
|
|

Let's be really clear about why this foreign nation is demanding the Windows source code, shall we?
Europe and the rest of the world are actually glad that the Chinese are taking the lead on kicking the US's spying arse.

Weren't they demanding the source code before the NSA scandal?
I am under the impression China wants the source code so they can reverse engineer it.
|
|

If they wanted to reverse engineer it, they wouldn't want the source code.

Case 1) A Dog-Fighting ring took a female Pitbull out to a field (near a kennel) and started shooting her. The Kennel videotaped the incident and rescued the dog (who is actually quite friendly towards pretty much anyone, even cats/other dogs), and quickly got the ring (about 30 people) taken down.
Case 2) My mom's friend just found an injured kitten, and it seems that someone took a machete to it. I believe the police have been notified, and my mom is meeting her friend at a vet to try and save the kitten.
EDIT: Kitten was too badly injured to be saved. 
I just want to [REDACTED] these.... demons from hell!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I agree there's no sense in hurting animals.

My wife and I do rescue/rehab work and I was a director of a humane society for a few years. some of the stories just make your blood run cold.
Our last rescue (who we're keeping) was a Black Lab pup who had parvovirus. The owners didn't want the expense/trouble of having her cured. Not so much mistreatment as cold-hearted.
The one before that (a Gordon Setter cross) had been shot in the head with a large airgun pellet. The vet we work with had been called to a pound to put her down, but she operated and removed the pellet. She's fully recovered!
The one before that was a young yellow Lab that had been kicked so hard by its owner so hard that the femur snapped at the ball. Our vet removed the ball and we rehabbed him, the femur forming a pseudo-joint allowing him full mobility.
We have seen much, much worse! I sometimes despair for our race.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Please accept a large bucket of respect points. Anyone who looks after animals as you do is alright in my book.
We had a 2-year old Dalmatian that got Parvo from a rock in the back yard that got moved when digging. The virus can survive several years in a dormant state apparently. My wife noticed she didn't want her breakfast and immediately rushed her to the vet who correctly diagnosed her and started her on heavy-duty treatment. The vet said only one in ten thousand dogs survive this - and those ten thousand were counted as the ones that got prompt treatment! I coughed up the necessary cash for intensive care and my wife practically lived at the vets for a few weeks talking to and cuddling our dog. She survived and the vet sent photos of her skin where the virus was evident to a local vet college for them to include in the textbooks. He also put up a photo of her in his surgery labelled "Parvo Survivor". She was very weak for a long time - she was so thin you could see the bones in her tail clearly - but she made a full recovery and lived to be more than 13 years old.
