    PIs aren't bound by any of that "Miranda Act" nonsense and can pretty much say anything they want to get you to incriminate yourself and it all stands up in court just as well as if an interviewing detective had gotten you to talk.

    The police can say anything they want to get you to talk. Miranda rights may have to be read, but that doesn't stop them from lying through their teeth to get the information they want out of you.

    That's interesting, I have been buying samsung monitors for years now. I have a house and office full of them. Anytime there is any issue at all, we send the monitor back and we get a replacement within weeks. I mean dead pixels, faulty speakers, scratches on the front panel, anything at all.

  6. Re:When will the whining stop? on Why Juries Have No Place In the Patent System · · Score: 1

    It's not a matter of fanboy whining. The issue people are talking about is that the jury ignored portions of testimony and evidence to come to a conclusion and award money. If you were on trial for murder, would you want the jury to ignore your alibi stating that you were in a bar with 100+ witnesses when the murder happened 100 miles away?

    It is when you have people different people writing software that does something very similar and the smaller guy gets sued out of business even though his product may have been better than his competitors just because an icon on one of the screens looked too close to the icon on the plaintiff's.

    War is the horror of humanity.

    I think one of the (many) reasons the Vietnam war was so unpopular is because the public saw bodies every night on the evening news as they were being unload from the aircraft.

    Though I can agree, the Vietnam war still lasted 10 years.

    I think one of the worst things the USA government has done is to no longer allow the news media to film the bodies coming home.

    As a soldier, I disagree. The news media only wants to use those images to press their biased opinions. When a soldier comes home for burial, it is a time of respect, honor, and mourning. Not a tool to be used by the propaganda machines. If the media could show it with dignity and without the bias, then certainly they should be able to.

    Not even close to the same thing. That gel is great for what it does but can't hold up in a sustained deployment in the field. It also stinks to high heaven in my opinion.

    Medical malpractice is effectively 2% or less of the costs in healthcare. If you add that to the cost of Windows 7 Ultimate, you're looking at about a $2 increase...

    Incorrect, it is one of the great myths of our time:

    One of the principal myths surrounding medical malpractice is its effect on overall health care costs. Medical malpractice is actually a tiny percentage of health care costs, in part because medical malpractice claims are far less frequent than many people believe. In 2004, the CBO calculated malpractice costs amounted to “less than 2 percent of overall health care spending. Thus, even a reduction of 25 percent to 30 percent in malpractice costs would lower health care costs by only about 0.4 percent to 0.5 percent, and the likely effect on health insurance premiums would be comparably small.” i

    Funny, I could have sworn bullets didn't distinguish between war and police actions. When you have an enemy trying to kill you, the names given to operations don't mean shit. To a soldier in the field, there is no difference. 2 Grandfathers and a Great-Grandfather fought in WWII. Aside from having served myself, 2 of my brothers have served and 1 is still serving. All of us have done tours. There is not a single one of us that would use the term "police action" to describe what we experienced.
