Agreed, GPS is a serious breakthrough. I can locate myself anywhere on the planet with an appropriate receiver for free, forever??? yes please! They are also FANTASTIC examples of dealing with 'real world' relativity.
I dont think you understand that the military would splinter in a Civil War. Its not a simple matter of 'well the government has overwhelming force, i guess we are all slaves.' If you order US troops fire on American civilians, you have a bloody revolution on your hands, and the military will split along faction lines. Make no mistake, if those 300 millon guns werent out there, we would be boiled alot faster.
No reasonable human being thinks using the term PMITA prison is appropriate or civil. You should look closely at why you think prison rape isnt as serious of a crime as a rape anywhere else. Seriously, get some help, you are on the sociopath track.
That time i was arrested, the officers forced me to take off my clothes , spread my ass cheeks, lift up my tongue, show the soles of my feet. I was made to do these things under threat of direct violence. Under your guidelines, that was rape too.
Regardless of how many people he harmed in this way, there are limits to how much punishment we should lay on one human. Give him 5-10 years, if he gets out and does it again, more years etc. But dont do it fire and forget.
At some point you have to stop looking at the humans he harmed and look at the human you want to correct. Im not disagreeing, but I also think the 'how many people affected' should have limits on far it allows sentencing to go.
105 years should not even be allowed at all as a possible sentence, its an insane position. NO reasonable judge should be allowed to pass such a sentence because it COMPLETELY ignores it is still a human being we are dealing with, no matter how distasteful or vile.
25 years is the most any one person should be committed to at any one time, IMVHO. Another method could be average life expectancy minus age of majority, plus some humane modifiers. But something based on the real world life of a human.
If, while serving the 25 year sentence, more charges come up, they dont get ignored, but you cant heap on more time. At some point you have to give SOME redemption or its a death sentence. There is no reason to ever sentence a human to a CENTURY of prison. Any judge issuing such a sentence should be subject to review, as it shows a lack of reasonableness, empathy and humanity.
Just so i have the whole picture. You have a cableCARD fed MythTV box, outputting to Raspberry Pi frontend (with appropriate codec licenses, i assume)?
You are recording the premium HD channels right? not just QAM?
I ask because i have the exact same tuner setups, save i have the older 'dual'. I am using a Win7 DVR right now but would eventually like to switch to a MythTV box and output via R Pi.
Any distro you recommend? I have tried doing Myth on ubuntu and i get stuck in an infinite menu loop in the setup every time i try.
DO you know WHY no other competent software came out during that time? Because Microsoft illegally suppressed the entire chain, end to end. Thats what was so evil about it, and the fact that you dont remember this is bewildering. Any technology that looked like it could compete was suppressed, bought out, or bullied using MS's monopoly.
NO. Microsoft has proven they cannot be trusted in any way to do the right thing. They held back computing by a DECADE. The restrictions they impose and the clear delineations between server/workstation/consumption is still horrible and destroys tons of use cases. Apple, while being a bully and a lousy citizen, is NOWHERE NEAR the assholishness and out right malice of MS. We will all be better off when MS is beaten back into a small niche company.
You and Carmen Ortiz need to learn the LEGAL definition of theft. She should have been reprimanded for accusing him of 'stealing' in her statement. In no legal sense did he STEAL anything and quite honestly Ortiz's comments are, IMHO, defamatory.
You are right, they dont have to. In my state 'all sales are final' for the most part. However most retailers have decent return policies. If i said i was returning it because i didnt like it, and they refuse, i really have no recourse. This has yet to happen to me, though.

Well then thats a shitty business model and he should rethink it.
How about share your idea anonymously? Or is that not what you had in mind?
You obviously didnt read enough science fiction. I knew how things were going to go 25 years ago.
Every single one of those people had significant financial backing from family and friends, far more then the average person.

Honestly, its easier to just pull the meter.

The dead only know one thing: It is better to be alive.
Newsflash: in a lot of states, if you commit the same misdemeanor twice, it gets converted to a felony.

There area TON of jobs that are just off limits to felons, period. It is literally a life sentence in some regards.

Because batteries dont exist?
Then dont visit that site in the clear, use another connection, turn on your 3g phone, the choices are legion....its not rocket science.
Hes not wrong.

I fucking hate this. What do you mean 'not needed anymore'. My job is not my purpose in life. I exist to exist, not to work until i die.
