I gave two examples including links of people who were detained for a period of time (from days to months) who had driver's licenses but not a birth certificates. One even had a birth certificate but it was still ignored by immigration. It's in the sibling thread. I won't duplicate myself.
The fact here is you are the naive fool assuming local police operate strictly according to the letter of the law with no racial bias. You also assume immigration, which is a federal agency, will mirror arizona state law. Hint: it does not and will not.
If that's true.. then that's a colossal design flaw. However, it still smells like a BS excuse. If the xbox 360 client was so thin or programmable, then xbox 360 clients could be updated--with xbox 1 stuff cut out. On the other hand, version detection could be done by simple analysis of the protocol at the router or at the 360 service end point and then [forwarded|proxied] to a live 1 cluster hosting a forked frozen version. Version detection and forwarding configuration would be a minuscule amount of specialized code.
I think the more likely answer is.. in the mind of bill gates xbox users are slacker freeloaders who must pay the upgrade tax in order to assimilate with the rest of the 360 hive.
It is pretty damned obvious by now to anyone with a brain that the feds aren't gonna do jack shit about illegals, and as anyone who has lived in one of the border states can tell you illegals are turning the towns into war zones!
Yes. It's a failure of the federal government to act. The response should be to bring troops home from the middle east and militarize the southern border to Mexico to bring law and order back to the border towns.
illegals naturally hate cops (because they are illegal themselves, duh!) so criminals in their neighborhoods can do whatever they want without fear of being turned in
That's an irrelevent point because there is gang violence in northern and north-eastern major cities (such as Seattle, Chicago, New York, etc) yet the illegal mexican population there is substantially lower. (In new york, the hispanic population is mostly legal cuban and spanish--not mexican.) The majority of illegal mexicans are ordinary families raising children--not hardened criminals. (Yes! Think of the children!)
anyone who has been in one lately can tell you the ERs are looking at 12+ hour waiting lines thanks to illegals using them as clinics (and of course never paying so YOU get to pick up the bill on your insurance),
You say they are using ERs for clinics. True, but by implication that means they are merely seeking basic care that clinics handle such as treatment for colds, infections, minor cuts and scrapes, etc. You know.. the cheap stuff. Why not provide that care in the form of an actual daytime free clinic? (Provided 1st paragraph is done 1st). The cost would be 10 to 20 times cheaper than what we're paying now. They're gonna scam the system anyway right? We either get hit with $1500 ER bills or $100 doctor visit bills. Let's take the cheaper option. Oh wait--that would mean implementing basic universal health care. Crap. We can't have that can we?
just look at the crime rates for places like Phoenix, the towns are becoming warzones!
See 1st paragraph.
So until the fed gets off their pandering asses and actually does something about the borders the states are gonna have to step up. If you don't like it, don't go there! That is one of the nice things about having 50 experiments in democracy, if you don't like one state's laws you are free to move. As someone whose state (AR) is starting to get flooded by illegals frankly I'm sick of it.
Meandering digression skipped.
I've known too many folks that have gotten seriously injured by illegals driving without insurance (because they are already breaking the law, what's one more?).
Why not legalize them and convert them into tax paying citizens so that they can drive legally? Have you seen the national debt obligations lately? Almost $79 trillion (or put another way 1 year's GDP for the entire planet!). That's $254,545 (=70b/308m) per citizen. Don't forget only half the population pays taxes via a paycheck. We need the mexicans to grow out of this financial mess. Besides, you know we're going to be legalizing them anyway. Deporting them all will never fly. Even the most radical rightwing republican recognizes that.
And with double digit unemployment I'm really fucking sick of jobs like construction, which used to be filled by hard working Americans that actually paid taxes, going to illegals because they will work for peanuts and send their money back to Mexico.
Solved by legalizing existing illegal workers which puts them on our tax collection and thus on equal par with american workers. That combined with the enforcement of existing laws and pushing through penalties on violating corporations will tighten that leaky faucet.
Hell it is so fucking bad here that guys yell "Immig
I'm not sure US immigration detainment counts as jail time because in this case one does not get 1) the right to representation by a lawyer 2) the right to public transparency of the charges 3) the right to communicate with outsiders including family 4) the right to appeal 5) the right to a (not so) speedy trail by jury of one's peers. This detainment is most likely way, way under the radar of the Red Cross.
These are people who have identification on them but not a birth certificate complete with official state seal. Who walks around with a birth certificate 24x7? Do you?
Granted, the police didn't handle the situation the best, and in most of the other videos I don't know enough to comment, but you're comparing apples and oranges.
So.. you're invalidating my argument after confessing you cannot shoot down the remaining (majority) of my examples. Look... I can come up with hundreds of examples. Have you got time to shoot them all down with swamp gas theories?
Let me reiterated my point so it does not get lost. The law is no buffer preventing any police offer from arresting, detaining, or abusing you at any time or any location.
...and the bandwidth required to keep Xbox (1) Live going would have been what? $5-10k a year? That's not even the pocket change that falls out of Microsoft's free soda machines.
However, for example in case of traffic violation or something like that they can.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc Fast forward to about 3/4's through. An experienced cop admitting that when he followed a car long enough he could make a legal stop because at some point everyone makes a mistake. (I presume feeling nervous that a cop has been following you the last 8 blocks also doesn't help one's situation.)
First off the topic was general: "presumption of innocence". Second, (rolling with it anyway) you may be assuming everyone has easy access to their birth certificate. If no one on the outside can help you, you are fucked.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has held Warziniack for weeks in an Arizona detention facility with the aim of deporting him to a country he's never seen. His jailers shrugged off Warziniack's claims that he was an American citizen, even though they could have retrieved his Minnesota birth certificate in minutes and even though a Colorado court had concluded that he was a U.S. citizen a year before it shipped him to Arizona.
Given that you'll probably serve 3+ months in jail waiting to find out that you are indeed innocent still feels like a 3+ month prison sentence no matter how you spin it.
My God some of the mods here are douchebags. I challenge anyone to supply a link here posted BEFORE mine that's a duplicate. I looked before I posted. There weren't any. Slashdot really needs to start revealing who these morons are who mod so jackassily.
I like a bench setup with half height dividers between seats or a lab arrangement with a long rectangular table (people sit on alternating sides). The reason is I don't like feeling eyeballs constantly on me or feeling like I'm constantly staring at someone across from me as one would be in a circle or pinwheel.
With these setups, workers should make private calls either in the break room, hallway, or in a dedicated phone room.
A few commented that there should be no windows. I think anyone advocating that is not a very nice person. Having natural lighting and seating in a large open area is a huge benefit to morale and fights off seasonal depression. If you're concerned about people staring out the window all day, just setup the seats to face away from windows.
Within Seattle it is popular knowledge that Seattle cops are abusive and corrupt. [1][2][3] There will be no charges because this is business as usual.
And riding a power trip by abusing fantasy admin powers and putting down or banning any user who might show a little independent thought? Wow. Never seen that before....
I just don't know how much more I can take before I lose it.
Funny how citizens get worked up to a frothy tithy if you touch their broadband, tv, or video games. I'm just curious. Did you get worked up in the last political election? Or, did you sit on the sofa, munching potato chips, cursing about your ISP?
A mouse is far more accurate than the Wii-mote because a mouse requires less movement and is not confined to a rectangular box that is the screen. It's not an equal comparable. The Wii supports USB keyboards but not while in game. It would have been trivial to add keyboard and mouse support to games (or keep if porting from PC), which would have brought the Wii up to par with the PC for FPS games--at least inputwise. It would have made things like Quake Live on the Wii very doable.
Probably punishment for the 35+ comment. Oh.. and the fact there are hundreds of idiots hanging around here with mod points who don't even attempt to understand the context of the thread let alone actually read parent posts.
