I would be very concerned about giving legal advice in this forum. – Affable Geek Feb 16 at 3:32

@AffableGeek I was getting at the basics, not specifics to a certain program. Most people on SE who give legal advice mark the top of their post with the typical "IANAL" acronym. Nothing is a replacement for a real lawyer. I never meant it for that. – Cole Johnson Feb 16 at 4:24

A registered patent, you mean? – Joe Z. Feb 15 at 21:16

@JoeZeng yes; corrected. – Cole Johnson Feb 16 at 3:23

I would love to have this question over at politics! – Affable Geek Feb 16 at 3:28

@AffableGeek What do legal issues have to do with politics? – Cole Johnson Feb 16 at 3:30

It doesn't seem very... political, though. – Joe Z. Feb 16 at 4:06

You can unregister? – Joe Z. Mar 19 at 17:16

Joe Zeng: Yes, you most certainly can. One primary benefit is that in most states, this takes you off of the roster of potential jurors. I've long given up voting. I just wouldn't care about it, however, I made the final decision to un-register so that I wouldn't have the chance of getting called to "service" for jury duty. :P – RLH Mar 19 at 18:07

Can't you just prove that you couldn't judge impartially by being bored out of your mind? – Joe Z. Apr 9 at 12:34

There's also the fact that I'm Canadian, but I can't see the process being too different. – Joe Z. Apr 9 at 14:11

+1 for contextual relevance! :] i've seen other credible sites that do this - e.g. Justia Answers - so why not Stack Exchange? – RubyTuesdayDONO Mar 19 at 15:17

For that matter, what does estoppel even do? As far as I know, it simply prevents people from denying claims that have been shown to be true. – Joe Z. Feb 15 at 21:16

Better title would be "Is it possible to register to vote for [United States] in [Montreal, Canada]? If so, how?" Or maybe two questions: "Is it possible to register to vote for [United States] in [Montreal, Canada]?" And if the answers are yes, but don't say how, ask another question titled "How do I register to vote for [United States] in [Montreal, Canada]. – Cole Johnson Jan 8 at 16:43

thanks for suggestion – Ghost Answer Jan 9 at 3:11

And in Canada/India/select your country. – Joe Z. Feb 15 at 21:52

Are you referring only to federal courts? Or state courts as well? – JSW189 Feb 17 at 23:22

Well, this question could theoretically be generalized to any jurisdiction with a court system. – Joe Z. Feb 18 at 0:59

So in the case of me specifically saying "the USA", I'd say federal court. – Joe Z. Feb 18 at 1:00

This seems way too broad. A comprehensive list would be lengthy and difficult to compete. Further, this does not specify jurisdiction; it would be different in every one. – JSW189 Feb 17 at 23:21

	Often a webmaster has no knowledge of the specific ads he's serving, only their provider. You'd need to sue the ad provider instead. – Joe Z. Apr 9 at 12:37
	But this is the webmaster who agrees to publish whatever is him given, so he's the one who doesn't care – Zoltan Berg Apr 12 at 18:16

Basically, if the government tells you, "Do this or we'll kill you", and you have no method of fleeing the country or otherwise evading the order without harm, rather than the government just ordering you to do it and you complying blindly. – Joe Z. Mar 19 at 15:55

closed as not a real question by Robert Cartaino♦ Jun 11 '12 at 20:41

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

"Reference" questions that can be easily looked up on Wikipedia or other source like it are not generally accepted: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_monarchy – Robert Cartaino♦ Jun 11 '12 at 20:40

@RobertCartaino how can we trust wikipedia ;) – Cole Johnson Jun 14 '12 at 4:21

@ColeJohnson - Since both wikipedia and any given stack exchange site are collaboratively edited by a community of self proclaimed experts, why would you think one could be trusted any more or less than the other? – Mark Booth Aug 16 '12 at 9:34

@MarkBooth I trust wikipedia, it's for those hypocrites out there that use wikipedia but say that its inaccurate. Plus on these sites, edits are peer reviewed up to a certain reputation – Cole Johnson Aug 18 '12 at 5:13
