I don't get it. I know I am old ( 50 ), but, weren't you youngins taught that driving was a privilege when you were in driver's ed? This was hammered into us by the instructor, teaching materials, films and cops that taught us defensive maneuvers.
As it turns out, the charges were dropped. But they arrested someone for not paying a gratuity that was less than $20? I can smell the lawsuits against the city coming. At least the restuarant won't survive the year.
I know of NO other religion where the texts of that religion are copy righted and/or not freely distributed. That in itself should cause the label of religion to be stripped from these jokers.
And, if there should be another such scam as Scumintology out there, then they too should give up their status.
I still can't believe that such a crappy writer was able to invent a religion that smucks would follow. All for a bet. And to the extent that it has spread. Maybe he was a better writer than I thought and perhaps I should read some of his books again. What was his bet book?
A $70 pair of SHURE earbuds has made all the difference in how I listen to music
Sorry, but no earbuds are worth $70. They are simply evil and will destroy your hearing. Get yourself some proper earphones, something that cups the ear and ventilates.
I've had two from women contemplating killing their children and themselves
You tell them to come in, explaining that you have a secret rocket that will take some of us off of this planet. When they arrive, you have social services take the kids away and the police can take her to the nearest asylum for the criminally insane.
You obviously have never been involved in a case where a restraining order was issued. The types of people who have these issued against them, never follow the order. They manage to go just far enough as to not violate the order but still make people's lives miserable.
Sure it is. That way, if it can't be resolved through the means you suggested, it goes to court. Not everything goes to court, sometimes people talk to each and resolve their differences. But, when you can't, you let the court decide. But, you have to give the courts some teeth.
These are the same kinds of laws that give people recourse for harassment and stalking. Something that the courts could nothing about until just recently. At least, in the USA.
Another season long running episode in x parts. Who has the time to see every single episode. And, with this quality, why would I want to.
For quite a few years now, I've waited until the show is on DVD. Then I can watch at my own pace. And if it never shows up on DVD, it most likely sucked anyway. I stopped watching Lost and Heros as they both really started to suck after the first season. And God forbid you missed an episode. Sheesh. TV is supposed to be an escape, not a way of life.
Does anyone really believe that Google is the "do no evil" company that it used to be, pre-IPO? It has become just as suspect as any big company. The bigger problem is that people don't even see Google for what it is. It is like MS all over again.
Don't people remember what happened with Phil Zimmerman over PGP?
Yes. Nothing. There was an investigation and after about three years of wasted tax dollars, no charges were brought. Ya gotta tell the whole story with a lead-in like that!
I think the whole thing was just a bully tactic by RSA. They didn't like the competition. Especially from an open source project.
There are alternatives to the Kindle. Why would anyone use a device where someone else, without your permission or prior knowledge can remove things. Screw that.
Learning how to make gun powder was very cool. Then of course, the chemistry and physics of it pushed me to learn more. And it also had an affect on how I viewed hisrory.
It is exactly this kind of head in the sand thinking that gets us into so much trouble. I can hear people agreeing with it until it is too late to undo it. This is just as idiotic as the zero-tolerance policies of too many school systems in the US.
UGH. You know what, the posting itself is hate-speech. Hatred of intelligence and rational thinking.

Nope. You just defined a privilege, not a right.

I no longer trust Google with anything. So no, I will not use any version of Chrome on any of my machines.
Cops are not exactly the brightest of the bunch.
Cops arrested a couple for theft at a restaurant. http://media.www.thebrownandwhite.com/media/storage/paper1233/news/2009/11/20/News/Two-Local.Students.Arrested.For.Refusing.To.Tip.At.Lehigh.Pub-3837030.shtml

It's akin to a pitcher throwing a few warmup pitches...
Huh?
Could you put that into a car analogy?
Most religions don't copyright their message...

I did NOT get a lap dance, and I am mad as hell!
It's called a restraining order
You obviously have never been involved in a case where a restraining order was issued. The types of people who have these issued against them, never follow the order. They manage to go just far enough as to not violate the order but still make people's lives miserable.

Gartner himself, I believe, is on a tropical private island and surround by beautiful naked women.
But, did he predict that this what would happen?
Who is his partner and where are they registered?
At least Gilligan's Island was funny on purpose. And Mary Ann was a lot hotter.
and mindless.

OMG! You mean where the sun shines? I am afraid. Very Afraid.

OK. Just my $.02 worth, I guess

Absoutely! On the 69th day of the year! Or the 68th day and I'll owe you one.
But, then again, don't corporate programmers prostitute themselves already?
