It depends on the Jurisdiction, but although both the Police Department and the Sheriff's Office are both Law Enforcement, their jobs are slightly different and they derive authority from separate branches of Government. The Police Department's primary job is to enforce Laws and Ordinances (i.e. Investigating Crime and Arresting/Ticketing Offenders) and derives their authority from a Jurisidiction's Chief Executive. The Sheriff and his Deputies' primary job is to enforce Court Orders and to protect members of the Court and derive their authority from the Court. Usually Police Departments are a function of the City and the Courts (and therefore the Sheriff) are a function of the County, but there are exceptions. Some smaller towns may choose to have the local Sheriff's Office act as their Police Department. Some urbanized Counties have both a Sheriff's Office and a Police Department. Many Sheriff's Offices get assistance from the local Police in performing Court actions (such as executing Warrants, delivering Subpoenas, etc).
I hope this clears it up.
that pissed me off so much, universe was actually getting quite good....Someone needs to invest in a real scifi network that only show...oh i dunno....science fiction?
A good starting lineup would be stargate, a star wars tv series, A reboot of firefly, and some good old fashioned early 90's anime....
I think many SciFi and Anime fans have gotten to the point where they just download or stream or buy DVDs/BluRays (or some combination of the 3) of things they want to watch, which is why I don't think a new SciFi network could be successful. The consumers have moved on to other media.
That said, I wonder why SciFi producers in the west haven't tried to copy the OVA model used by some in the Anime Industry, where some Anime goes direct to DVD. They wouldn't have to deal with having to get their show on a network, and there have been successful OVAs that have multiple (albeit short) seasons.
...I have absolutely no idea why anybody outside of the Federal Sector would want their data center in this area. We get Severe Weather (Tropical Storms and Snow Storms) on a semi-regular basis, and traffic tends to jam with a slight dusting of snow or a moderate rain to the point where it can take 3 hours to drive 2 miles, and the Utility Companies are not always the greatest at keeping the power running during these times. Neither of these things can be good for maximizing uptime and minimizing downtime.
Virginia, huh? Hmm... What else could be in Virginia, I wonder...?
No one, really. Just the CIA, the Pentagon, a lot of the Federal Bureaucracy (although much of it is moving back into D.C.), The FBI Academy, lots of Military Bases, most of the Government Contractors, etc.
As a DC area resident who works in Reston (where Amazon's servers are), signs point to YES. Especially since DC area residents have already settled into "PANIC!" mode which includes posting on Facebook on how everybody is going to die and how the Mayans were right, buying every roll of toilet paper and every tube of pimple cream in the grocery store, filling their Viagra prescriptions so they can die happy, hiding in their basements, and emerging 2 days later asking "Why was everybody panicking?" This process also includes everybody jamming on to I-66 at the same time (more so than usual).
This response is the same whether it is a hurricane, or just a dusting of snow.
Doesn't this make your confident about the people who run your government?
Halo 3 was panned for its graphics at the time, and that was 2007.
Halo Reach is a couple years old now
Halo Anniversary, the latest game, IS an upscale of the original 2001 game, runs the original graphics engine alongside the new one, and as such is buggy.
I love the series, but its not a good example to judge the graphics capability of the console as newer games tend to find ways to suck every last ounce of power out of the console
When I took mine, it kept locking on to Darth Vader on my t-shirt. So they made me put on my coat, which was a M65 field jacket I had modified to be a part of a cosplay (was wearing cause it was cold and I blew my entire paycheck on Caps tickets, manga, and DnD books instead of buying a coat). So now I get funny looks at cons when I get asked for ID and I'm wearing said cosplay.
Is there ANY good reason to go into that hellhole of a store?
That one time when I can't find something at Staples/Office Depot, am too lazy to drive to MicroCenter, but want it NOW, so ordering it from Amazon or NewEgg is not an option.
Don't post a story to/. and end it with "Discuss". That is condescending and pointless, and removes much of my desire to actually participate in the discussion.
It makes it sound like a writing prompt in a Freshmen writing class.
No, the worst part is that OUR OWN LAWMAKERS are being restrained in what they can talk about.
This is a direct affront to the principle of congressional oversight.
In this case I agree. This is complete crap. A Congressman having to GET PERMISSION from the Executive Branch to inform those he represents that the 4th Amendment has been breached by the Executive Branch makes one wonder about what he wasn't allowed to say, and why the hell he had to get permission in the first place. However, there are somethings I believe that politicians, no matter the branch, should shut up about, such as information that gives away a source, or puts the lives of those who have helped us in jeopardy. But even that has to take a backseat to the Constitution.
I have always wondered what would happen if you walked into an establishment with a sign saying that with a shirt, shoes, and no pants. They never said anything about pants.
When policies set by upper management have no effect and the network runs smoothly, upper management takes the credit for the network running smoothly. When those policies, no matter how retarded they are, have a negative effect on network performance, the IT department gets blamed. I don't see how this will be any different in Iran.

No one use IE any more.
Except there are many corporate intranets that are IE only. Hell, I've seen SharePoint 2010 instances that don't even play well with IE 9...

GOOGLE is manufacturing hardware??? SINCE WHEN???
They own Motorola Mobility, who does make Hardware.
APPLE is a software company???

Your comment is a perfect example of COMPLETE IGNORANCE
4/10. See me after class.
That many?
I'm sure it will somehow take AWS down :)

Who in their right mind would play such obvious trash?
Surprisingly, lots of people.
People pull knifes on each other over Magic in my hood.
I guess that's why you're here.
You sir, made me spray Mountain Dew through my nose which ruined my keyboard... I hope you're happy...

This happens about once every 2 years

Go ahead, mod me down.
No shoes, no shirt...
I have always wondered what would happen if you walked into an establishment with a sign saying that with a shirt, shoes, and no pants. They never said anything about pants.
That's why I didn't get a phone call from my parents asking me to fix their Internet.
The Allies were running out of military targets for bombing and were trying to force an end to the war.

That many CEOs are too morally bankrupt to meet that standard doesn't mean we lower it.
I think many people in positions of power would find a way to crawl under the standard, no matter how low we lower it...
If this case isn't proof that the US Patent and Copyright System need reforming, I don't know what is...
Makes my Uni's CS department look stupid for moving all their high level language classes into Java
