    This should be the default action, not pulled over. If the car is autonomous, the passengers need to feel safe, even when being apprehended. They can pull into a sealed garage with all sort of soft weapons used to disable the humans who don't want to comply.

    Sgt. Dave Burke said, "We don't just buy stuff from Amazon as you suggested.

    But you should. Looking at the data provided by one of the largest consumers of hard drives, there is little or no difference between Consumer drives and Enterprise drives. The only thing you get with Enterprise is higher prices, used to offset warranty replacements. Replace your drives every 36 Months.

    Actually, some documents are classified upon generation / receipt. The term I have heard is "born classified", meaning they are classifed from the beginning. The "Marked Classified" is a lame attempt at obfuscation of the seriousness of the problem here. Hilary knows she's politically dead. The real question is, is she bound for Prison or will Obama pardon her.

  13. Re:Lying scum on Judge Orders State Dept, FBI To Expand Clinton Email Server Probe · · Score: 1

    The documents were not classified at the time.

    Some documents are classified immediately upon generation or receipt. And Hilary would either have to know this, or wasn't qualified to be Secretary of State. An email from Merkel is classified immediately upon receipt. It doesn't require review or "stamp" or "markings" or any other technicality. They are "born classified".

    So repeating this line, is factually in error, and functionally bullshit designed by political shills.

    It is far from clear what duty, if any, she has in the case of retroactively classified documents, but almost certainly she has no legal culpability.

    This is factually completely wrong. Some documents are classified IMMEDIATELY upon receipt. Further, you speak of "duty" which was clearly abrogated here in that it was Hilary's duty to safeguard those "born classified" documents (emails), which she couldn't have done, given what we do know about her servers.

    The fact is, she is toxic politically, and the only people still trying to defend her are those that 1) don't know anything, or 2) Political shills. So, which are you?

    2) If your spouse says you cannot have an affair, or else you're in trouble, you're in trouble, and not subject to this problem

    The problem is, you've ascribed to society social norms things that are social norms. If you don't want social norms to be social norms, then please be kind to your worker when he shows up in a furry outfit, in an open expression of furry love.

    In other words, social norms allow for nominal social behavior that is expected. You may not like social norms, but they do serve a purpose. Unless you're Bill and Hillary, in which case, social norms are for the little people

    And we warned them. Twice. They didn't think we had the bomb the first time. The second time, there was no excuse.

    And it did end the war, when the Japanese realized that we didn't have to lose any one to wipe them out. It was a quick end to a long war. And there was a great deal of debate on whether or not the US should even do such a thing before we did it.

    The issue was, the Japanese had lost the war already, but were still fighting, to the last man as we cleared each island they were on. It was slow, dirty, ugly work.

    Sorry, but it is socialism that caused Greece to fail, not capitalism. They have , as Thacher once opined, finally "run out of other people's money". And if you look around, the stench of failure around socialistic economies is growing. AND YET people like you seem to think it is all "republican's fault"

    Sorry, but the (R) and (D) parties are just taking turns slowly moving us to the failed socialism, just slower or faster depending on party.

    It is interesting that you think that failures like Greece aren't because of runaway socialism. Maybe, you think "with a little tweaking, it might work next time"
