Criminal insanity has a high burden to meet and it does not save you from extradition, it is used for the defense in a criminal trial. Historically, very few people that go down that route meet the definition even though close to 90% of these folks have some history of severe mental illness. I believe in the States, 0.25% of all criminal cases (federal and state combined) are resolved based on insanity. It is not a pretty outcome if the defendant is determined to be insane. Defendants often will serve more time in a mental health facility than if they pled guilty to the charge(s), even for non-homicide cases. Lifetime institutionalized care is the likely result.
You have as much chance of getting a competent lawyer that has expertise in this subject, if you grab the first person on the street when asking this question. I recommend seeking competent legal advice than depending on a site known for its bullshit more than anything else.
Ah yes, that answers my prior question on law school. You are a legal quack, the same way Jim Carey is a medical quack. This is a legal case, not fantasy land.
Wouldn't the whole point of his super advanced training be that he wouldn't panic?
Yes. Either he did panic (not unheard of) or there were other mechanical/electrical problems.
I have done emergency and ice driving training, it is a requirement to get a driver's licence here in Denmark
The States have the easiest driving tests in the world. It is based on operating a car in good weather with no defensive skill needed and no requirement to drive a manual, or a restriction to automatics if you test in one. In California, I drove around a pretty empty street, never needed to get on the freeway, never did any parking, and no obstacle course. California sees a heavy wet season from late fall to early spring, and snow and ice in the mounutains. If you take the test during the summer, you will never have to demonstrate bad weather driving skill.
I don't have any idea what training he received but you claimed he was "highly trained in offensive and defensive driving tactics"
You think that CHP officers are handed a gun, badge, and the keys to their car after they pass the physical? Are you that stupid? Let us see how well you can handle a RWD car with the rear tires bald and over inflated on a special smooth surface circular course that has been made slick by water.
especially if (as claimed by Toyota) it was simply being held down by a floor mat.
Do you see it yet? Work that grey matter a littler harder. Do you want a hint? Maybe he panicked, especially with passengers in the car, or it is more than a floormat issue. The passenger that called 911 from the backseat of this Lexis in question stated that the accerlator was stuck and the brakes failed.
On what? Do have any idea the training a CHP cadet receives?
My point, even when people have specific training, they can panic. Simply making a statement that driving a manual endows one with special abilities to control a car is ridiculous. If anybody wants to continue to hold that view, I would love to see some citations of credible studies.
people who drive manuals inherently understand how the fuck a car works
Pure conjecture. My wife and I both drive manuals here in France, yet neither one of us understand how the fuck a car works.
I believe the parent is correct in his assumption that manual transmissions create drivers that are better equipped to handle situations on the road than the average automatic only driver.
You and the parent can believe all you want, that does not make it true.
Let us take that case that got the Toyota floormat recall started, the Lexus that was going 120MPH on a San Diego freeway before it crashed. The car was driven by an off-duty CHP patrol officer and vehicle safety inspector. He was highly trained in offensive and defensive driving tactics.
Wondering why no-one took into account the snow factor...
Because not all of us failed geography. The SF Bay area has a Mediterranean climate. Outside of the mountains, it does not snow during the winter. It has never been sub-zero in the area, including the mountain peaks.
Perhaps if you know what the fuck you were talking about. This is why it is pointless to listen to anobody on Slashhdot, 99% of the comments are bullshit.
All the bay bridges, except the Golden Gate, are managed be the Bay Area Toll Authority and funded by tolls. Educate yourself.
I still have not gotten over Dvorak, in 1990, calling the Disney Sound Source better than the AdLib, SoundBlaster, and GUS. He said it would revolutionize sound on the PC.
I realize it is easier for you to believe the anonymous poeple that post here rather than the CEO of Oralce. Afterall, the people that post on Slashdot know more about the operations of Oracle than the person that actually runs Oracle.
Bzzt! Oracle bought Sun because Oracle wants to be a systems company.
Ellison said, "We're keeping everything: tape, storage, x86, Sparc, he said. "I'm not sure if for (the same price) we could buy IBM, HP or Sun (that) we wouldn't pick Sun. Sun has fantastic technology, great microprocessor technology and leading tape archival storage."
From a libertarian standpoint (yours, I'm assuming, from prior discussions), why not just get rid of health insurance altogether? That's the only way to ensure that everyone pays their "fair" costs into the system. That seems to be what you're getting at, so why mince words?
Bravo. Any free market libertarian should not be using any type of insurance. Afterall, insurance is a form of wealth redistribution.
That is a commodity business. You would have to be insane to recommend that.
The fact that 3Com, once a reputable company of top notch networking technology...
You are late to the party. 3Com died as a company a decade ago. Do you not remember the fiasco when they discountinued every non-SOHO hub, switch, and router in 1999? Oh yes, that was so much fun. After being given product support timelines and signing on the line, to find out through the newswire that your recent purchase would not be fulfilled and any product you already had in your possession was orphaned. And worse, you could not reach your sales rep.
They rolled out ISDN SOHO products several years late and did the same thing for DSL. They could not roll their own VPN firewalls, instead they had to repackage Sonicwall products. 3Com lost the high end NIC business to Intel and the low end to products from Taiwan.
We will not mention the cluster fuck known as USR.
3Com is a example of a company that never looked over its shoulder until it was too late. I am amazed they are still in business, with all the bridges they burned and bad blood.
If I were 3Com, I'd seriously consider taking a project like Vyatta or the likes, start developing it into a high end system capable of managing switching (Layer-2 to Layer-4)
If I were 3Com? Is that like, if I was a fire truck? Luckily, they already have high end L2-4 switches.
The president in the United States has it as well, except it applies to federal matters. Since France has no sovereign states within its nation, it is functionally equivalent. The only difference between the two is France has a passive immunity, while the United States president must actively invoke the immunity through a pardon.

It has been supported officially supported for years.

This article is all supposition, and poor supposition than that.
Which means it is perfect for Slashdot.

BTRFS has design mistakes too, and some new filesystem will be invented that will avoid those mistakes. Repeat.
but thanks to the licensing
There is nothing wrong with the license.

No.
There is no nation that meets your criteria.
They are.
Americans are not too keen on socialist measures
Except when it comes to the roads, education, emergency response, hospitals, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, etc...

Sarko is not a neocon. You need to go back on your meds.
