    They have 20 days to respond to the initial request. If they don't respond, the first step should be to submit an administrative appeal to the FOIA contact for the agency. They hav…

    A good place to start is http://www.foia.gov/ The specific information required for a request varies by agency, as do any fees. Most of them now provide online forms on their sites…

    Use of the privilege is not based on the type of proceeding (ie, it applies to more than just criminal cases), but upon the nature of the statement or admission and the exposure th…

    I doubt it has to do with labor laws, specifically. Payment is paid through a verified Paypal account, which you must be 18 years of age to use their services according to their us…

    Did you read the post? It's counting those who have visited the G+ stream or used the mobile app.

    A point which is based on a flawed assumption. Public posts don't necessarily correlate with private posts.

    Agreed. It's essentially design by committee, which may work well when there's only a handful of you, but consensus of several individuals is difficult to reach, and the obvious or…

    Facebook does this as well if it believes you're creating multiple accounts.

    They can pass an act designated as "private law" (aka slip laws), which can apply to specific individuals and afford relief from another law or grant benefits/powers that are not a…

    It's sarcastic in intent. Trying to condemn an idiom that is obviously logical nonsense misses the point. When I say "I could care less", it could be interpreted instead, "as if th…

    I served in the Navy as a Legalman (LN), and while I don't know the specifics of this case, military justice differs from civilian justice in quite a few ways. To begin with, a tri…

    Sony's WebTV was a set-top box (Phillips produced them as well) for WebTV Networks, Inc. Microsoft later bought WebTV Networks in '98.

    Your argument that because you're "blunt" entitles you to behave like a 5 year old, is utter bullshit. There is something called tact. If you want people to help you, then perhaps …
