You completely twisted his words you "worthless sack of s***". He never said the suspect shouldn't have due process. As far as I can tell he was probably alluding to the fact that they are lucky they are in America where you get due process. If you are so quick to twist someone's words so you can find a reason to delegate them to worthlessness, then you have nothing to contribute to the world and are the very essence of worthlessness. Chill out and learn some reading comprehension.
It is like if I said "I'm lucky to be alive" and you interpreted that to mean that I am a proponent of being dead.
"Congress does not have power to pass laws that either prohibit individuals asking such things from other individuals or require that anybody complies under any type of penalty to provide such information."
They already have passed such laws, and such laws have been enforced in the past.
"An employer can ask an employee for any of this info, an employee can absolutely refuse (or comply, up to him). Neither action nor response to either action should be legislated and the government officials that cannot recognise this simple fact should be summarily removed from power at once."
You fail to understand that in asking for the information, an employer can discriminate against someone based on their answer or refusal to answer. Corrupt/ignorant employers shouldn't be in a position to strong arm people into relinquishing their private information. If you don't put a stop to it, sooner or later every corporation will be abusing their employees and taking away their right to privacy, and there won't be jobs available that allow you to maintain your right to privacy.
Agreed. At a minimum a court ordered subpoena should be required. An employer with a big government/military contract can do something stupid, get in a huge amount of trouble over it, then they bring in the lawyers and "investigate"/interview everyone under the guise of "protecting the interests of the employees". When they are done, they take all the information they've amassed and store it away in case they need it for legal proceedings, then usually fire everyone in the department.
I should never have to relinquishment my personal information to an employer. If they have a right to my password, that doesn't just give them the right to look at my information, they can also abuse my account.
Even if a subpoena were issued, that shouldn't give someone my password. The subpoena should be served to the hosting company, which then provides a copy of requested information within the scope of the court order.
Shouldn't someone create a couple more forks with names like Eastcoast and Southwood so we can have all the cardinal directions covered? Then we can have programmer gang wars.
"any time a manufacturer finds out". How will they find out? I doubt people call up and say "Yeh, I am calling to complain because I did exactly what your warnings told me not to do, and I was injured in exactly the way that your warning said I would be injured. Oh wait, that sounds really stupid, bye!"
"actively tracked" means that data collection systems support the data needed to make these correlations. For example, on traffic crash reports, the officer will fill out various discrete values which can be imported into a database, and later fed up to federal HSMV for analysis. These systems only record certain pieces of information, like blood alcohol level of the drivers involved, in order to do analysis. Other information is not collected if administrators don't believe it is of value. There will be a field for blood alcohol level, but only for the driver. Usually not for passengers or pedestrian. If you wanted to ask a question like, "In cases of pedestrian fatality, is alcohol level of the pedestrian significant?", or "Do drunk passengers contribute distractions that might cause traffic crashes?" Without that key data, you can't do statistical analysis to even begin to determine if these factors effect crash/fatality rates. You have to read the description of many traffic report to capture this data in a usable format.
Alot of work goes into these systems, people resist collecting of alot of fields because it is time consuming, and costs money to support and enter those fields. In the medical field there are even more additional challenges to collecting data due to privacy concerns and HIPAA.
It's hard to measure injuries of something not actively tracked. It's like trying to find out how many pedestrians were run over by the quiet-but-deadly Prius(I'm just joking). I know researchers who literally read crash report after report by hand to classify them, and then do estimated projections. Much of the centrally tracked data is inconsistently reported, and doesn't have enough information to make correlations.
I doubt the medical field, where statistics usually takes a backseat to HIPAA, would be tracking something like this until it became apparent that it was a common problem.
I'm not trying to say you're full of it. Just saying that no reported injuries does not imply no injuries, but I would concede it probably means there haven't been enough injuries that someone in the medical community has become alarmed enough to push for research into it.
As well as 99% of all light. They do need to see where they are going:)
Lasers are sometimes polarized, so you could accomplish this with one filter, but you would have to align it with the polarization of the laser, which would require some sort of active system, and there you've gone through all that trouble and only get partial results for lasers that have that polarization. If you were going to go through that much trouble, just build an active system to detect the laser source. What you do once you've targeted the source, I'll leave up to your imagination.
Meh, people who call "bullshit" on things are usually the source of bullshit. Stating an absolute "bullshit", then supports his absolute with speculation "I seriously doubt", and proposes a solution based on a false understanding of optics(which if anything, is the bullshit). Full circle bullshit. These people flock to one another these days. So don't be surprised when they mod one another. It doesn't matter how blatantly wrong they are, how many times, they will never stop and reflect. I don't know if they are just flat out stupid, or too arrogant to educate themselves before blabbering non-sense out the butt. As long as they have their little circle of support, they will march on.
Yeh... I've often thought the US's use of.gov was setting them up for phishing scams. People begin to think any.gov site is a legitimate US government site, when that's not necessarily true.
"figures we are all fucking idiots" more like "KNOWS MOST of us are fucking idiots". Some~most people have poor judgement, and no one really cares about saving them from themselves, but instead keeping by-standards from being victims of their poor judgement. It's why we can't have nice things. Shouldn't everyone get to have nuclear weapons?
Reminds me of a watch a friend had before the days of bluetooth/wifi. To sync your calendar, you held it up to a computer that flashed barcodes on screen which the watch read. Not sure how much practical use he got out of the thing, but was definitely cool to watch.
This. Once got strong armed by a lawyer/volunteer policer office for licensing fees, because he had a patent for putting software on a laptop in a police car. We didn't budge and he never took us to court, given that we knew lots of people that had been doing that prior to his patent. He'd rather keep his billy club to threaten someone else with, then have it invalidated.
Or would it have had the opposite affect, with posts/reposts of the same copy and post mindlessness that engulfs every social site? I would like to think the speculations of "bringing out the truth" were the case, but I'm pessimistic.

They made sure no one would confuse the F-16 with those other Falcons that don't fight.

And as far as DoJ is concerned, a violation of a ToS is a crime: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/11/15/1821238/doj-violating-a-sites-tos-is-a-crime
Of course that's just a slashdot summary, and we all know how accurate those are sometimes.

He didn't put it away, and instead flashed at the police chopper that was responding to the report.
Stop replying to trolls!
That's what she said.

Maybe that's why we read it that way.
Get it, cool to "watch". That wasn't intended but I will claim it.

This is the same principle for a good spam filter.
