Just imagine you roll up on a scene where there is an armed and dangerous person. How likely are you to be thinking about turning on your camera and ensuring it's working before you're dealing with the problem?
This is the problem. It shouldn't be 'oh better record this' or 'shit shoulda recorded that' they should have enough memory to be switched on when their shift starts and switched off when it ends. The sd card or whatever gets handed in and filed for a week or so, if anything of note happened or any complaints are made the footage can be looked at whatever steps taken. Basically the way a lot of cctv systems work. Yeah they'll probably still delete or tamper with them after the fact unless they make them get backed up and remotely stored some place but that's getting off the point. They should be always on and record everything the officer does on duty otherwise its a hollow gesture that is only going to be used by the people its not meant to catch.
If a cop "forgets" to turn his camera on and shoots some one then the victim (if surviving) gets to shoot the cop, if they are dead a family member gets to do it. Or just sack them if they don't turn it on but that's never going to happen in the blue boys club.
I swear at work all the fucking time, I've never really had a problem with it though because I work with adults and am not public facing and I try to tone it down for the most part. The thing that pisses me off the most though is people who use replacement swear words as if its perfectly fine. Ok so you said for bucks sake instead of for fucks sake. It means the exact same fucking thing idiot and even if you change a letter or two you're still basically swearing. (don't know if you do this, it's just a general gripe)
We got new upper management. All about change. They even bad mouth the big legacy products that built the company up and is still the source of the profits that give the execs their jobs. I wish they would sit and see reality for a moment instead of chasing the latest fad.
99% of the ideas workers submit which they claim are "innovative".... aren't. Usually it's completely pointless and has no benefit and quite frequently has drawbacks. Much of the time it's already been tried and failed.
Ideas are cheap and readily available. Good ideas are not.
I know what you mean, my idea to let me work from home for double the pay and half the work load didn't go down very well, I thought it was a good idea at least.
It was a long list of fuckups that among other things resulted in the death of a U2 pilot who was only there to add to some sabre rattling.
Kennedy did a lot of good things but the Cuban missile crisis was a result of very stupid brinkmanship.
Are you talking about Powers? Because he didn't die and was shot down on Eisenhowers's watch, but other than that. Or was another U2 shot down that I'm not aware of?
This move is the next step in Microsoft's plan to collect 30% of all Windows software revenue. It is to convince developers to get their programs into the store so that they don't miss out on sales.
Now, I don't anything about this but what are the chances that one of the conditions to get on the store is can't be sold anywhere else?
Ha ha ha ha ha, fuck off, asshole. For the record, a great many of us have been using Slashdot since year zero, before you. Yet we never felt the need to make a name for ourselves. You are a narcissistic asshole that only registered a username because you want some sense of self-gratification. Since registering a username does not require verifiable credentials and is open to everyone, that fact that you DID so means nothing. Really, truly, it means nothing. So, if you're unhappy about a response, attack the substance, not the sender.
Fuck that, put a name next to what you say and own it, otherwise you may as well be shouting into the void. What's the point of talking to AC's when there's no way to tell if you're engaging with one person or ten?
Taking away guns does nothing to fix the underlying issues in a situation like this. That fucking asshole who shot your co-worker is going to hate your co-worker and do violence to him, guns or not.
Maybe not the underlying issues but take away the guns and you have a lot less people getting shot and killed. The guy might have still been assaulted but it's a lot harder to actually kill someone with your hands or a knife. It's ridiculous to say taking away the guns won't change anything, because it will.
LOL. What a tool. What do you think OBAMACARE is? It's insurance affordability, it doesn't have anything to do with the doctors
I manage IT systems for hundreds of doctors. It absolutely has everything to do with doctors. If it costs $5,000 for a surgery, Obamacare ensures they will only get $2,500 for the surgery. So they have to cut costs elsewhere. You know that they call a man who scores 100% on the test? Doctor. You know what they call someone who scores 70% on the tests? Doctor.
Hire crap doctors. Cut cleaning costs. Use older, less accurate equipment. That's Obamacare.
Nah mate. that's the American health care system where good health is a privilege, not a right.
As usual. More than 88,000 people die in US hospitals each and every year for reasons that have nothing to do with why they were in the hospital. OBAMACARE! AT! WORK! and this is what Trump WILL FIX!
Fuck yeah, those are rookie numbers, Trump's gonna pump 'em way up. At least a cool million.
Basically you're lamenting people who don't know about complex electronics not being able to repair complex electronics. This years cell phones vs a ~10 year old console notwithstanding. The issue isn't everybody should be able to repair everything the issue is not being forced to go to a specific place like the manufacturer or officially licenced repairer to pay over inflated costs. You should be able to get it repaired by anyone with the skills and tools.

Don't be foolishly reactionary.

Looser feminist. Feminist = looser.
At least most of them can spell, or are you implying something else?
My dog eats its own shit though.
Same
Didn't they drop the charge though? I've certainly never paid for it and have had whatsapp for well over a year.

You don't work for the US gov do you?
Wouldn't adding explosives be pointless? You're using the kinetic energy to deal damage which at those speeds and mass dwarf any bombs we can build.

All you'll hit is the moon and not that hard.
Apparently there was, never mind.

I don't think it's that meaning of "over". I think that it really means "above".
I don't remember much from GCSE german but basic directions is one thing and uber die brucke is over the bridge, so its uber 9000 and all that.
....well, yeah?
interesting, thanks.
Slide out keyboard, decent android phone, good internal storage and SD card slot, 1080p screen all for a decent price and I'd take one.

What about "allow professional users to disable the Winblows store"?
Definitely a better option.
