  1. Quietly? on Apple Quietly Updates iPad 2's Processor · · Score: 1

    Apple has quietly replaced the iPad 2's A5

    How loudly should they replace them? Should they stand on rooftops and yell, "WE ARE REPLACING THE GODDAMN PROCESSORS IN THE IPAD!!! THAT IS ALL!"

    Hi, you must be new here: welcome to sarcasm!

    You: "...all it does is show that not only do you have no idea what you're talking about..."

    Me: "Where exactly did I 'have no idea' what I was talking about?"

    You: "...all indications is that you were incorrect in your thinking there..."

    So, you can't show anything that I was wrong about, can you? I thought so.

    Ouch. Please stop hurting my feelings.

    Where exactly did I 'have no idea' what I was talking about?

    And what is your basis for claiming that I 'lack the capacity to educate' myself?

    But, how would resisting arrest make things better? Do you think the cop will just give up and let you go?

    OK, you are about the third person to reply with the argument of, "well, what if the cop is beating on you?" A cop beating on someone is not the same thing as an arrest. I never said it was OK for a cop to wail on people at their whim.

    Btw do you think the mentally-retarded woman deserved to be beat by cops 3 months ago?

    What... THE HELL?!?!?! How on Earth did you come up with that based on my post?

    How do you compare a lawful arrest with beating somebody?

    Or that the man who recorded with his phone deserved to be drug to jail?

    Where are you coming up with this crap?

    You probably do.

    No. No I do not agree with any of the bat-shit crazy things you just said.

    That is all quite fascinating. What exactly was your point in regards to my original post?

    Simply having the thug in blue announce "that's it, you're under arrest" is not valid.

    Uh, I never said or implied that. In fact:

    An officer can arrest you if he has good cause to...

    I didn't realize I had to waste everyone's time by listing all the valid reasons for an arrest. But, hey, whatever gives you a chance to spout off about... something.

    Er. Ahh. Can you tell me what the difference between detain and arrest is?

  14. Re:Resisting Arrest on CISPA Bill Obliterates Privacy Laws With Blank Check of Privacy Invasion · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm not sure I see the issue here. An officer can arrest you if he has good cause to (you match the description of a suspect in the area, etc.). This is the original reason you are being arrested. It may later be determined that you didn't commit a crime, and then no charges are filed.

    If, however, you resist this arrest, you are then charged with resisting arrest. Simply because you think you didn't do anything wrong doesn't give you just cause to resist the arresting officer.

    You don't need to commit any actual crime.

    You consider resisting arrest not an 'actual crime'? Are you saying that officers don't have the authority to arrest people?

    So? People using your product isn't the point of business. Making a profit off of people using your product is the point. That's why we had the dot-com bubble: nobody could make any money off of this new-fangled internet thingy.

    But infant mortality is also tied to healthy living (eat right during pregnancy, don't smoke, don't do drugs, etc.). This is nearly the same metric, just in a different age group.
