    My guess is that you did not spend any time at all thinking about this before you came up with your position on this.

    Kudos though for spending so much time thinking of how to validate your horribly thought out position.

    They reason that you come forward quietly to a corp before going public on a real security issue is so that the bad guys do not exploit it while the company makes a patch. People knowing about this issue before a patch can only help the issue.

    On top of that Xerox knew about this problem already and were just keeping a lid on it.

    If you are a paid Xerox shill then you are a failure at your job. Otherwise you are just an idiot.

  8. Re:It seems that on Cab Hailing Service Uber Collected Just $9M of Fares During 15 Months In Boston · · Score: 2
    Most people who do use my companies new app like the fact that they can quickly get a cab. They love the fact that they get location updates on their phone of where their cab is in near real time. (Delayed about 2 min.) They really like the fact that they can also call if they do not think the app request went through or if they feel that their cab order is something a bit more complicated than an app can handle. The future is both.

    I work in a company that has over 300 cabs leased out. Computer dispatched, GPS tracked, 20 people on the phones that can also take web or app based trips.

    I am not sure you understand what what you read. I am not putting a date on the next ELE. I am fairly sure that if something big enough to wipe out all complex life on the planet were going to hit us in the next month we would already know about it. Those who state that we have millions of years to prepare are guessing. It could happen next year. We have no idea when the next one will hit. Even if it is 400 million years from now we will only be ok if we spend that time not listening to those who tell us that manned space flight is pointless. It is interesting, challenging, awesome and is the ONLY WAY that humans can survive any real long period of time. The only reason to wait is so that we can be wiped out if the odds are against us.

    "Stand your ground" makes sense when you're in your home and it's invaded, or you're in a store and a robber comes in. Not when both people are out on open land, and not when one has been following the other in a manner that would cause suspicion in the one followed. This ENTIRE INCIDENT should NEVER HAVE HAPPENED, and the one who made it happen was Zimmerman.

    Yay.

    Another person who will tell me all about how it should be while having the facts all wrong.

    Yes. I know they are all wrong because you got them from NBC.

    Stand You Ground Laws Were NEVER A Part of This Case!

    Not once was it hinted at as a defense. Never. Not looked at by the Defense or the prosecution or the judge. The jury never heard an argument about it. Not One Time.

    You can only get that from the MSM. The same people who edited the 911 tapes to make Zimmerman appear to be profiling.

    Now that you know that you were lied to I bet you still will not look up the actual facts of the case. Even if you do and find them to be different I am thinking that it will not change your mind. Even with the facts completely different from what you assumed them to be your conclusion will not suffer in the least.

    You do not have to run numbers. Cut it to 15 years. If the people stop creating music and literature and movies then we can raise it. If they continue on or even start producing more we can try 10 years. The market will tell us exactly where copyright needs to be.

    My point was that once we no longer need evidence we can "Say" whatever we want.

    That is what is happening with this case.

    They are using a case that never claimed a "Stand your ground" defense to take down "Stand your ground" laws.

    They have turned a half Mexican that spent his down money to mentor black youths into a racist.

    They have Zimmerman into a demon and Trayvon into a baby angel.

    This case has nothing to do with the facts.

    The evidence actually had Zimmerman stopping the pursuit and heading back to the truck at the time of the altercation. That was the testimony and there was some evidence to back it up and none to disprove it. So with that in mind. You story would be more like ...

    You pissed me off. Then you left. I came after you because you pissed me off and attacked you. You then shot me.

    Again. I do not know everything that happened. I do know that with the evidence that was presented that there is no proof of criminal activity on Zimmermans part. This was not a racial case. Certain people just wanted it to be one.
