    and publicly.

  2. Too bad my moderation points expired yesterday. Most insightful comment yet.

  3. I don't have any children, I don't have a significant other, try again.

  4. Re:When you let LEO play "Counterterrorist" Org. on The NYPD's X-Ray Vans (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    The NYPD, tasked with protecting the citizens of NYC from a repeat of one of the largest terrorist attacks on US soil .

    Well until the NYPD get's it's own air force, I am not sure how they expect to deal with planes flying into buildings. Somehow I don't think X-Ray vans are going to be much help.

    So they are stingy and they rub it in your face? And they wonder why they have a hard time maintaining friendships?

    Wow, really really bad legal advice from an armchair lawyer. You go ahead and refuse the breathalyzer and see what happens.

    Nice statistic you pulled from your ass, amazing it fit up there next to your head.

    Using lethal force while committing a misdemeanor is gonna raise that charge up to felony status right quick.

    It wouldn't matter if the security guards were pointing guns. You would have a hard time claiming self defense against a security guard while you were trespassing.

    Actually no, citizens arrest is a very real thing, and in most states allows you to detain someone as long as you use the minimum force required.

    And the UK's laws have exactly what to do with trespassing in Nevada?

    The one problem with that is the RGJ employees were not lawfully entitled to be there. They would not get any SYG defense.

    How is that anymore open then a standard PC? Granted it is far more complicated but there is nothing stopping you from making your own PCIe cards.

    Well, the FCC is looking at locking down radios on the 5ghz spectrum, not routers per se.

    You mean the ISM bands. It's not the "wifi spectrum".

    hate to break it to you, but how things actually work might disappoint you if you think there is rampant abuse everywhere.

    Phone calls fine, But my location when I made that call? Because I certainly did not provide that to any third party.

    If you're an American (or frankly, any innocent person) anywhere in the world who isn't an active member of a foreign terrorist organization or an agent of a foreign power, the Intelligence Community DOES NOT CARE ABOUT and actually DOES NOT WANT your data. Sounds crazy and bizarre for foreign intelligence agencies to care about things like foreign intelligence, I know, but it's true. Weird!

    Strange because our laws on encryption would mean fuck all to anyone except an American citizen.

    And Microsoft has an ARM version of the NT Kernel. The problem is never the OS, its the fact that the software for x86 can't run on ARM. So no Apple won't have an ARM laptop till they have the programs to run on it. Does Adobe have ARM versions of their offerings?

    Magnetite is very hard to magnetize, and it normally does not hold a magnetic charge for very long. The prevailing theory on lodestones is that they are magnetized by lightning strikes. Magnetized magnetite is very rare and only found on the surface of the planet.

    Not even a bunny slope. more like a very gradually inclined plane. I doubt you would overcome friction. So I think alpine skiing is out which means it would be a X-country ski park, LAME.
