It's BS to say it's putting cops' lives at risk, for the most part.
Presumably anybody using this app to search for cops is going to be using it to deliberately avoid coming in contact with any cops. This outcome is actually the lowest risk outcome for any type of police encounter.
The way this has been phrased, you would almost imagine that there are anti-police death squads roaming the city, looking for isolated police units far away from backup and slowly picking them off with a sniper rifle.
The recent cop killings in France are enough to not laugh at the idea, though I doubt that taking cop spotting off waze would make any difference in reality.
me in BC buying a car from a guy who bought/brought it in from Alberta and sold it through his car dealership in BC. Then Ford comes in and repossesses my car because I didn't get it through a dealer in BC and because the prices are lower in Alberta so it was unfair to the dealer in BC since it wasn't sold through an authorized dealer.
Don't think they wouldn't if they could and if they see your post they'll probably try and get some legislation in place to make it possible.
So you're saying Microsoft went and remotely erased your games or did you? If it was the former, then you may have an argument. If it was the latter, then the blame is solely yours.
Actually, in my case I didn't even get a chance to download it. I purchased a game December 3rd, sometime between now and then it was delisted, when I went to download it less than 60 days after purchase it was no longer possible.
Bitdefender now charges for the right to download software more than 15 days after purchase.
Breaking up ghettos is very difficult if for no other reason than the people that live there want to live together.
France already has active policies to try and avoid such ghettos to start with, where new developments are obliged to provide a percentage of low income housing as a part of their project. The idea being to spread immigrants and other poor amongst wealthier native communities.
So long as the percentage of immigrants is low, this works. When it gets too high in a concentrated area, then we have a ghetto again just in a different place. The higher the percentage, the less integration.
Current immigration policy is far too open. Once one single person in a family gets papers, often by measures such as buying a spouse for the reason or, more common in my experience, tricking westerners into getting married (including trying to get pregnant by the westerner while they're there on holiday, for example - had that tried on me twice), then the rest of the family gets papers, and then more family and more family and more family, etc.
Islam needs to come forward through a renaissance age but it's not happening.
I'm not sure what perspective you propose to give people who blame us for anything that's wrong in their lives, whether it's our fault or not.
Where do you draw the line? Today it's our right to free speech, what follows? Our women having to be veiled? Our girls not having the right to go to school?
No doubt, these drones will be more and more automatic, where commands from their human controllers become more and more abstract. Maybe now they're being flown like an RC aircraft, soon it'll be "go to this location, launch bomb to hit that location", or "fly search patterns in this area and shoot anything that doesn't respond to your coded signals out of the sky".
And so, step by step, we enter the era of robotic warfare. No matter how often the various militaries and politicians pledge that this will not happen.

There is no F******G war going on. 20 people where killed, 17 by terrorists. We have a problem with equality and participation and integration in Europe. However, we are not on war with a part of our own population. And while 17 dead people is horrible, we have more dead people in traffic related accidents 3250 per year or smoke or germs in hospitals everyday. So get that in perspective. Yes we have to address terrorism. We have to do this with police work and social work and a good integration strategy which does not put immigrants in ghettos and throw away the keys.
What is happening here in France and elsewhere in Europe and the UK is a reflection and direct result of the wars that we are engaged with elsewhere in the world.
To look at one aspect without taking into account the other would be an error.
You can have whatever integration strategy you want but when the percentage of immigrants comes close to or exceeds the percentage of non-immigrants in a given area, integration becomes impossible and reverse-integration becomes expected.
We are at war and it is a war of cultures, sometimes fought with bullets and soon to be fought with votes.
Fair enough assessment. However I'd like to see you frame a house, sheet it, roof it, drywall it, put siding on, trim it, for under $4800.
For that price, I don't necessarily think this is just "mindless hype".
It might be interesting to know what $4800 USD is actually worth there in China, adjusted for 'cost of' doing whatever in China vs. the cost of doing it in the US, and making your comparison with that.
For everyone who is about to object: what do you think a drug bust looks like? They posed as drugs consumers/dealers and busted the parties buying/selling. This seems like what my taxpayer dollars should go towards: stomping out illegal activity where it is prevalent.
Surely catching big white collar crime and corrupt politicians should be prioritized over small quantity drug issues.
But of course stomping out truly significant criminal activity is beyond the scope or capabilities of the LEOs that work for those same corrupt politicians, who in turn are owned by those big white collar criminals.
I think the thing being missed here is that people are in a hurry. If I can fly a 747 from Seattle to Japan and the flight takes 14 hours, I would pay more to be able to do it in 7.
Would you pay ten times more? That's the kind of factor you'd be looking at for that kind of speedup.
The way things are going, with the rich getting richer, CEOs that live like kings, etc, there is already a class of people who would pay ten times more if they wanted to make the trip in a hurry.
How many of them would bother is another question.
ok, so he can take comfort that he can blame a piece of metal for the accident rather than taking personal responsibility. if i had a car with a big honking A pillar, I would tilt my head a little to make sure there were no cars (or people) there before proceeding.
He does take responsibility for it jerky - I am saying that the A frame can get in the way of visibility.
Yes, this works extremely well in Berkeley too. There are neighborhoods on both sides of Ashby (hwy 13) and along various other routes, but the streets are relatively quiet because traffic furniture either prevents entry from Ashby or directs the flow such that there's no point using them for the commute. And they don't inconvenience the residents either. For a resident or for local travel, entering and exiting only adds a few seconds. For a commuter, trying to use residential streets just doesn't work.
The barriers seem to be favored over speed bumps. Over the years the speed bumps have been made softer (15 mph bumps now instead of 5 or 10 mph bumps), and are generally concentrated only in areas that simply cannot be blocked off for fire and other safety reasons.

Zoning laws prevent you from doing what you want with your property... They are evil...
Yes, because every individual's property is an island unto itself and totally disconnected from the properties and community around it. People should be able to do anything they want on/with their own property because, you know, fuck everyone else./sarcasm

That would be illegal in the jurisdiction I live in.
Under what basis?

I just don't know how you "fix" conflicts like this.
Possibly to restrict immigration such that the percentage of immigrants remains low enough to make integration into our own culture possible.
If those who come to our countries do not like our culture, they are free to leave.

Will it have a caricature of Muhammad?
That's what needs to happen, millions and millions of Muhammad cartoons all over the World.
I would hope for it to be a collection of all the cartoons by Charlie over the years they've been publishing.
I vote for a cartoon of Mohammed and his six-year-old bride Aisha on the front cover.
To be fair, the marriage wasn't actually consummated until Aisha was nine.
The worse thing being, she complained she couldn't even feel it.
They bombed the London Tube for Allah
They bombed the Madrid train station for Allah
They crashed planes into the World Trade Center at NYC and at the Pentagon for Allah
A film director was murdered in the Netherlands for Allah
Hostages had been killed in Sydney for Allah
And now, at least 12 person have been cold-bloodedly slaughtered, in Paris, for Allah
In the name of "Allah", who will be the next victim ?
A woman police officer in Paris this morning, Paris time:

Not directly related but I'd be surprised if this wasn't also done in the name of Allah.

It's a great distraction to take eyes of a real attack via more profitable and less visible vectors.
http://uk.reuters.com/article/...
We've seen the US go to war from much less "evidence". Can you say "WMD in Iraq"?
Iraq of course being a more profitable target, not stuck right up against China and not having as a leader 'The one Daddy let get away'.
Where is Team America when you really need them?
Kind of have to wonder Microsoft et al have other motives (than protecting users) for not wanting the US to be able to get at data stored overseas.
If the US gubberment can get user data stored overseas, it could then perhaps expect to get corporate tax related data stored overseas.
