  1. Re: or, Turkey cracks down on dissidents on Turkish Police Nab 32 Suspects Tied To Anonymous · · Score: 2, Informative

    They went after The Church of Scientology, HB Gary and apparently the Turkish government. Those are pretty damn "real" targets considering the first is known the kill people, the second is involved with the CIA and the last is a national Government.

    Lego's were always crazy expensive. If anything, they are now much cheaper than they used to be compared to other toys.

    In the 80's a $40 lego set was expensive enough it was limited to special occasions for most kids, now it is cheap compared to the videogame that they buy every week.

    I am pretty sure its stall speed is going to be 0 laterally, and that is less than 28mph, so he may still qualify. Unless of course that stall speed accounts for vertical motion, in which case his is going to be approximately terminal velocity.

    Why are you flying so low you can hit a kid anyway?

    The kid is playing hover ball with his jet pack you insensitive clod.

    Space is astronomically large. The odds of an accidental collision are astronomically small. If their satellite hits one of ours, it will have been intentional.

    This is how you take a stolen hashed password and retrieve the real password from it.

    It is the third step in the process.

    1: steal the passwords.

    2: If they are hashed, apply a rainbow table and you can crack the weakest and most common passwords.

    3: If you want to put in the effort, you do a brute force attack against every possible password for each password you still want to crack.

    He DID show his official legal birth "certificate" 3 years ago. It didn't matter, they just asked for the unofficial non-legally binding birth certificate that could not be released under normal circumstances after that.

    If national politics is a cesspool of corruption, graft and corporate kowtowing (and it is), then the states themselves are the water filling that cesspool. What do you think the weaker state governments will do? Corporations play hardball with states all the time. They ask for special laws, exceptions and tax breaks on the threat of crippling state economy by moving elsewhere. There is quite a bit of evidence that the recent "financial emergency powers" law in Michigan was written and pushed by a single corporation in order to bypass the local governments suit against a multi billion dollar development deal.

    The only problem with the ACLU is that they not only do not focus on the second amendment, they officially do not consider it to be a civil liberty.

    It would be fine if they focused only on their specific issues, as there are other organizations dedicated to defending the second, but to deny that infringement on the second amendment is not a violation of civil liberties is wrong.

    Google your own citations. Crime statistics are published routinely and are easy to find.

    I prefer to point out that the decline in violent crime follows the inverse of the trend in the popularity of violent video games that conservatives claim are turning the youth into mass murdering zombies.
