I have some sympathy for the police in this, so the slack I would cut them is this: Any interaction with the public, whether in arresting or stopping an individual, or in determining the appropriateness of an officer's behavior, must be on the camera. You turn it off, you have no evidence, or defense or whatever. Or at the very least, your account of events carries the same or less weight as the the opposing version.
Make it be in their interests for the camera to be on, rather than off when doing the important parts of their job.
Out of curiosity, are you realistically even able to break 2GB a month with the 1G? My wife has one on the original plan, but is not a heavy bandwidth user.
I have no idea why the OTA networks are not shouting this from the roof tops, they can compete directly with the cable and satellite providers as long as they bring the content.
They are the same channels. There is no competition between them, cable and satellite companies carry their channels as well.
When I used to have SBC DSL, my DSL modem died and they told me I could buy one from them, or go get my own. I was a bit surprised when after checking pricing, they sold the model I chose for about 30% less than everyone else online.
But it was as you say, original died after 2 years of use. They give you the cheapest piece of crap they can lay their hands on up front to get you on their service.
He may mean something like U-verse. It's fiber to a box at the bottom of the street, and ADSL from there to several hundred houses. Our total package peaks at >18Mbps, most of which is for the TV service.
This will probably erode the market for broadcast sports. There is a sizable percentage of people for whom watching sports is a priority, and they will choose whatever option for receiving media allows them to do so. Then there are those who enjoy and watch if it is available, but don't prioritize it to the point they will choose a certain method of accessing media to get it.
As more people start to eschew the normal ways of receiving media, cable and satellite, the organizations you mention will lose customers, unless they take some steps to keep them.
the removal of the other OS/backwards PS2 compatibility
The former was dropped as a feature from new machines, and then effectively removed from everyone's machine. The latter has only been dropped as a feature (to date anyway), not removed from anyone's existing machine.
As the FS says, "all the source material for this set is produced in 3-color RGB".
So while you might get an improved gamut with this, it won't be accurate color reproduction. Same with the LED sets that advertise things like "123% of televisions gamut". No way to accurately map that color onto your existing source media well.

You said you wanted to be around when Apple made a mistake. Well, this could be it.
I am not going to call you sweetheart though.
Well!
Soft core.

Should we have all laws passed by multiple Ph.D holders in selected fields who have little to no sense of humanity, only cold logic and rationale?
Yes, scientists and other well educated people are inhumane, coldly logical killing machines. Mark well your fear. We are coming for you.
But then their whole "you wouldn't rape a DVD from a store, would you?" educational campaign would sound funny.
Perhaps more people go see movies that they think they will enjoy, rather than movies they may respect.
I thought US Copyright Group basically were Dunlap, Grubb, & Weaver?

If not, you haven't lot anything.
(I'm curious if there are any $20 Unlimited EDGE plan users still out there?)
Yes.
the lack of cellular data standards will fuck you over anyway.
Lack? You just pointed out, there are several of them!

You have succinctly coined a law of the internet there.
You say your calculations do not have two asses, but we here at /. require proof of such an assertion . . .
I'd tend to agree with you. Virtually everyone who sees the "you wouldn't steal a car" baloney, laughs at it as it is clearly NOT the same.
Two congress men talking in a hallway. One looks down and sees a snail crawling near his foot. He stomps on it, grinding it under his shoe.
"Why'd you do that?" asks the other in surprise.
"That damn thing's been following me around all day."
