No, they weren’t alleging the theft took place in B to begin with. But between the police and magistrate that did the prelim, and the ACA that ultimately got handed the file to prosecute, no one made the connection that theft in County B didn’t happen. She actually tried to run with the idea that THEFT was a continuing offense, because it involves both the taking and the carrying away of property, and the carrying away portion of the offense continued into County B. That sort of sputtered to a halt before it got completely out of her mouth.
Given how much of this thread has been devoted to it I think “legal jurisdiction” does in fact interest a lot of people outside the profession.
Not my current profession but the one I trained in: page turns in the music of JS Bach. Whoo doggy, that one ran for ages. I think everyone’s sick of it by now though.
Seconded. Not to mention that there are at least two separate but overlapping arguments against layout tables: 508 compliance, and content/presentation layer separation. And yet, their utility makes a pretty impressive case.
Also: where business rules should be enforced (database structure, database functionality, program code, presentation layer, etc.), whether it’s ever acceptable or desireable to enforce them in other layers (either instead of or in addition to the first), whether, and if so when, to convert legacy projects from older technologies to new ones (classic ASP to .NET), and if so, what new technology should be used.
Truly, clients just want the site to look and act the way they want it to, and couldn’t give two shits about why what they’re asking for is expensive, nigh on impossible, or simply a horrible idea.
Start talking CP and you can watch the lay person go catatonic, could be used as a substitute anesthetic.
But when I start talking about the procedures and timelines for filing state regulations, I can see people in my own profession get glassy eyed.
Still too interesting. Isn’t there some hot topic involving telescope search patterns or what kinds of simulations are acceptable as evidence or something like that?
What angle do we need to position the feed of the 3m telescopes at to match the polarization of the 8.5 and 10 m telescopes?
HUD’s updated guidelines for FHA recertification of homeowner associations.
Shit, I don’t even know what that means. All I know is I had to sit through a meeting about it. But apparently, it’s Something Important around here.
Another library one: Collection Development.
The public just wants us to buy everything. But the whats, whys, hows and how manys are a big deal.
I’ve only ever met two patrons who gave a shit about collection development. Both of them expected me to use my own money to buy stuff for the library and then be reimbursed for it later. :rolleyes:
The merits and drawbacks of 3rd, 4th, and 5th form normalization for databases.
Whether a truck driver is an employee or an independent contractor for the purposes of insurance coverage.
Model diagnostics/validation.
Actually… I kinda care about that one… so much so I sometimes buy what they’re missing (in my opinion) and donate it to the library.
Yeah, that one would do. Especially if there’s more than one way to calculate it, and people get into vicious fights and end up never talking to each other over which method to use.
The last time it was discussed, there was a long, drawn out, 1 hour telecon about it, and a promise of haggis to whoever could come up with the right answer…
Yeah, I like discussing the issues that go into Collection Development. I don’t think it’d get too much response around here though (except from the other librarians and you that is).
Not really. Everyone talking about legal jurisdiction in this thread is either a lawyer or a law student (that’s me).
Emergency911 and a few others were talking about police jurisdiction, which is a different kind of jurisdiction than what I was referring to in the OP.
Okay, I found it interesting and I’m not a lawyer. Maybe it’s just me then.
What degree of supervision and control is s/he placed under.
When substituted service can be ordered. Order V Rule 20 Civil Procedure Code.
Me too. But that goes for many of the examples here. There’s a reason Neal Stephenson is as popular as he is.
