I carry one of those really big maglights with me in my car, just in case someone gets a little out of line. All you have to do is pick it up and make sure he sees it, OR even better, get out of the car holding it. Its like holding a metal bat, except its not.
You have to figure, that if he were to shoot you, he'd do it through your windshield, so getting out wouldn't do any harm.
Funny thing about the police station is that the asshole was probably a cop himself!
Contrary to what that article says, I think these devices have higher resolutions that 320x240. 320x240 is the standard PocketPC screen resolution and this thing had FAAAR greater resolution than a PocketPC. I've seen it with my own eyes. I could have been looking at a version 2 device though...
This isn't supposed to compete with the iPod. The LCD screen alone is the size of a PocketPC screen, but has incredible resolution, so much to the point where you look at it and you FEEL like you're looking at a much larger high-res screen. (I am speaking from personal experience).
Yes it plays MP3's, VCD's, etc etc and uses hard drives for storage (they might have a CF version, I don't recall), but its definately not an iPod competitor based on its dimensions alone. It is still _VERY_ cool, and I wonder if their intention is to turn this into some sort of Game Boy Advanced device a-la XBox Embedded or something to that effect. That would be pretty cool....
Passing through rings is not a dangerous thing. The reason being is that the dust that makes up the rings literally has kilometers of empty space between chunks. So much so that the chances of passing through the rings and hitting something are miniscule.
That isn't built into compatiblity with the OS. On top of that, if you wanted to venture down that road, you can say that VMWare provides backwards compatibility.
Linux executibles aren't always compatible through versions without recompiling either.
Obviously that's your opinion; it's not an opinion I find credible.... OK, let's shut this down now. You obviously have a problem with police in particular, and possibly with authority figures in general. I'm not really interested in having a conversation with somebody who is disrespectful to people who put their lives on the line every day to keep the peace.
Surely you see why this is how it has to be, right? Domestic violence is a serious problem, and recipients of such violence are often intimidated into silence. If we required the victim to issue a formal complaint before intervening, a lot of kids would live pretty miserable lives.
Yes, I agree. Have you read up on the case yet? Apparently not, because the Police man-handled them and put them in cuffs before they even spoke to the girl or evaluated whether a crime had occurred. Watch the video, its as clear as day. There was no evidence a crime took place. Hiibel was friendly to the cop until the cop started being a dick. Then Hiibel refused to tell the cop his name or give him any information. The other cop sat there and prevented the girl from getting out of the car while they cuffed Hiibel and threw him in the cruiser. Why? I don't know. He was unarmed and hadn't done _anything_.
My only guess here is that you are a minor yourself. Am I right?
That is not your only guess. You're guessing about all kinds of details about Hiibel's traffic stop. But if you'd like to know, no, I am not a minor and haven't been for many, many years. RTF Case.
The "investigation" had nothing to do with her being a minor. They arrested him and man-handled her before they even knew she was 17 (which in the state of Nevada may be of legal age). The woman did not claim to have been hit by anyone at any time. If anything, the cop throwing her to the ground and jumping on top of her did more harm than any fucking fight she could have been having with her father.
Read the fucking case, then make some conclusions about why this is right or wrong.
But guess what? You can be arrested anyway, because you're in a situation where a reasonable suspicion exists that you're involved in a crime. The fact that you didn't answer the question didn't make your situation any worse.
WRONG WRONG AND WRONG!
This man was under suspicion of hitting his daughter. Without the police officer witnessing anything or seeing any evidence of it, it is here-say. The man was arrested for a slew of bullshit charges which were dropped, except for the refusal to give his name. Its his goddamn-mother-fucking right to not speak, especially when he did nothing wrong.
Seems to me all the guy would have to do would be to demand a jury trial (in a previous appeal, or even on initial trial). What jury would find that people are legally compelled to give their names?
Thats not the fucking point, Chief. The point is that he shouldn't be able to get dragged off to jail because he was smoking a cigarette on the side of the road and doesn't feel like telling an openly confrontational police dickhead his name. There is no doubt that these cases would dismissed by a sensible Jury, but this poor SOB shouldn't have his daughter man-handled and him and her arrested for "resisting arrest" because he did nothing wrong and has the right to not speak to anyone!!!!
A name is a name (Jack Brown), and gives the officer something to call you besides "Hey You", but as long as we're not required to produce some sort of definitive, unique-identity-signifying number of the beast, I'm not too worried.
Are you nuts? Watch the video, then decide whether or not this should make you shit your pants. With a name, cops have the ability to look into every detail of your life. Unless they have a sound reason for it, they should leave you the fuck alone.
I recently had a cop from the Port Authority (on the NJ side of the holland tunnel) threaten to hit me with his obese SUV in the middle of a Dunkin Donuts (i.e. on video, plenty of witnesses, etc). The Police are not people you should trust blindly. A considerable amount of them are the bullies who beat you up in High School.
Actually.... jusdging by my router logs, I can believe it now...

College network I could believe, but on a network like road runner, its less believable. I believe it happenned once or twice, but I can't see it happenning everytime he does an install.
Barring the fact that I don't believe you when you say that you get viruses over the 20 minutes that it takes to download and install the patches, the fix is simple: get some sort of router/firewall combo, or install a soft firewall before doing the update.
Alternatively, shut down all the services so that you have nothing listening, but if you're too lazy to do that, go out and spend $40 on a Netgear router and voila, you're safe from that crap.
Holy Crap. Its not like there is actual plant and animal life on Mars. Its a dormant planet. The best we could do is find some bacteria that might be frozen in the ice caps, but even then, bacteria is bacteria. It is barely life and if it does exist on the planet, its borderline extinct because of climactic changes. There is no ethical reason to revive a bacterial species from the dead and make sure it flourishes. On the other hand, there is an enormous ethical reason to make human life flourish on places other than Earth. A dormant planet is the most ethically clean place to do it!
The chances of being hit by an asteroid particle is very large though. Satelites are hit all the time which is the reason why satelites that have been in orbit for years look very battered.
A thin inflatable material containing an enormous amount of gas under pressure is an accident waiting to happen. I just hope the thing isn't made of latex:-P

Shouldn't the officer go to jail and you be rewarded?
A police officer will go to jail for his illegal actions when hell freezes over.
I hate cops. Maybe I have a bias towards them, or maybe I just read too many fucking articles
