You are spot on here. Back in 1987, I worked at a movie theater and the ticket price was $5.50 We were the highest ticket price within 10 miles and 5 theaters.
Ticket price for Avengers on Saturday? = $15.50 No matinee discount, so "regular" ticket price, plus 3D surcharge, plus XD surcharge. AND.. the theater is brand spanking new. Very comfy seats, screen, projectors, and sound equipment all brand new and noticeable!
That said, the movie was great probably would have paid $20 (no theater owners read./ right!)
I was looking for this post so I could avoid repeating it.
I want to add another wrinkle. Not only does AT&T sell you a full priced replacement phone AND a new lost/stolen insurance policy, they also make money from the new owner of your old phone as AT&T will likely connect their new service.
No one is saving money by paying sticker $ for ANY car let alone a NEW car. I am about to buy a used Subaru to use as a commuter car. By the time I kill this one I will be ready for a used Volt. Only the Volt version that qualifies for the white California Clean Vehicles sticker. They are making too many car pool lanes around this state.
I want to be clear that I am not making light of the incident at all.
I am not sure if Ravi is responsible for Clementi's death. The invasion of privacy itself probably would not have pushed Clementi to take his own life. The showcasing of the web feed is more likely to have pushed Clementi over the edge. Even still, we do not know for sure. Ravi's was not charged in connection with Clementi's death. No motive for the suicide was ever given. We are left to speculate.
Nothing is going to bring back Clementi. However, Ravi is most likely going to prison for some amount of time. Judging by his picture he is not going to do well in the New Jersey Dept. of Corrections, whether at a work farm or special housing.
So, to your first point. Ravi IS going to prison (different than jail) and someone is going to beat the living shit out of him. Most likely he is going to be scared and intimated on a daily basis. It is possible he could die a violent death in prison.
I am not sure how "assholes and bullies get to run crying to the police and hide behind anonymity when karma comes looking" applies in this case.
I am not asking you to feel sorry for Ravi. I don't either. We don't know if he gets off light until he is sentenced. Whatever the punishment the judge hands down add, public shaming, loss of scholastic career, loss of future work career, deportation, and a lifetime stigma of being "that guy"
To your last point. People CAN and DO change for the better. Hopefully we all do. There are very FEW things that should earn someone a "lifetime of payback". I understand that you are speaking from a passionate place and it's definately hard to always practice the golden rule.!

Wait a minute here. You should have stopped your rant after the burglary story.
Your median crossing story lacks any objectivity whatsoever. Crossing the median is FORBIDDEN. It's not ok for 50 ft. It's not ok for 300 feet. The fact that the cop lied about the distance to strengthen his case, sucks. It does NOT change the fact that you crossed the median.
Lets say you stab someone to death. Then you want to go free because the police/prosecutor claim that the victim was stabbed 300 times and you swear the victim was only stabbed 50 times half as hard. You are still a murderer. Murder victims don't get more dead.
Wear a bag on your mule when you are hammering strange vag.
I voluntarily apologize for the obviously chauvinist choice of words while making my point. I could have made the same point to more or less effect by writing. "Apply a prophylactic to your gentails prior to consenusal intercourse with partners unkown sexual history and/or psychological profile. "
I agree with your assessment that gender discrimination is a problem. Male or Female.
I also tend to agree that female prosecutors, female judges, and especially female social workers can develop a gender bias based on their personal AND professional experiences.
However, it bears to point out in this particular case, both the Judge and Magistrate are male.
I've got them 50/50 now, but it took months and better than $10k in lawyer's fees even though there were no mitigating issues and the law is dead clear (at least in this state).
So there is justice. You just have to remain calm and not create a worse situation by over-reacting or being baited into "bad" behavior that can be documented. Exercise patience. Also, have $10k to spend on a *good* lawyer. Note: a *good* lawyer.

this is trivial and a non-issue. Why "accidently' leave the camera on and go off charter when this occurs

You read the paperwork. Look at the device. Screen the passenger without the scanner. Document the incident with your peers and/or manager.
Move on and save the agency $10k because you are allowed to act like a human being with common sense.

Can I have my tinfoil hat?
Doc: No, it wont help.
You may need a specific rack designed for the rails. Cost may be a little higher, but they work fantastic for accessing the rack.
I also saw the wheels on rack suggestion. I recommend both. I like ease-of-use.
I can't speak of the totatlity of VMware software being open source or not.
However, the Linux 2D/3D driver is open source http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-vmware
It is also available in the recent Linux kernel releases.
I am glad I read this post before watching the full clip. Thank you Monkey Bush.

If an ultra efficient solar panel was added to a setup with this LED could it power itself with AND generate power to spare?
Thanks for the personal attack, but I was referring to the centralized Mayan civilization. NOT, Mayan *individual* people.
Educate yourself before you blindly attack. What would your children say?
You can't be sure that Sun has not already vaporized a hemisphere in the past. (Mayan Disappearance Theory, anyone?)
I want one that works well at a decent price and most importantly won't give me testicular torsion.
Thank you for writing my response to the OP already.
but I was modded a troll. hrmpf. thanks to whomever wasted that mod point.
