"Except that this wasn't about the police mistreating the person being arrested" If you take the cops's argument at face value. If you do this all the time, there never was any police brutality ever, and people make everything up.
Seriously, why bring up "police brutality" in the case where there was none?
because there is a chance of it happening everytime the cops arrest someone.
Police brutality has gone far done since people have been able to film cops on cell phones and send the videos to their lawyers/someone elses lawyers/prosecutors.
Speaking of allowing people to defend themselves in court..
Speaking of mentally ill and court, what does system do the mentally ill have to defend themselves from unfair accusations of transgressive behaviour by authorities?
Granted, you're unwilling to hear arguments of police brutality because someone is labeled "mentally ill".
We need to stop letting authorities use the term "mentally ill" to mean "prisoners that don't have the rights prisoners normally get".
"Ferguson said that destroying games carried a "real risk":
"Don't get me wrong, I am fully aware you are trying to do what you think is best," said Ferguson "but there is real risk in focusing people's attention on the wrong thing, as well as contributing to historical patterns of 'moral panic' that tend to surround new media.
"I'm very appreciative of the sincerity of your group, but at the same time I've been concerned about some of your public statements linking video games to bullying and youth aggression which do not accurately reflect the science," Ferguson continued. "As a scientist, when we see that someone is saying something that isn't scientifically true, ethically we're supposed to take some time to try and speak with them and point that out to them...I've done a number of peer-reviewed articles myself on the topic, and have found no evidence linking video game violence to bullying or any other forms of youth aggression or violence.""
How does this work, that once a person is "mentally ill"
that
1. the cop knows instantly
2. he'll be immune from mistreating the person, he'd otherwise mistreat if not "mentally ill"
"The fact that you find this so surprising says little about the police officers in question and a lot about you as a human being." that what, I don't close my eyes to police brutality, the potential of such, and the need of citizens to protect against this by filming the police? This need does not go away when someone is labeled "mentally ill".
I was being snark earlier, and I guess you missed my point, and I need to clearly state it, I apologize.
You know what, I think your right, we should stop accusing cops of police brutality, because the only real reason for these accusations is weak character of the accusers. What do us pitiful plebeians know that our political, corporate, and police overlords don't.
you need to track the one thing guarunteed to be left at the crime scene, the actual projectile.
Casings are often re-loaded, and often swapped between gun owners, looking to save money/reduce waste/experiment with their own projectile/powder mixes.
Powder can and is bought freely. How you do regulate loose gunpowder?
i.e. getting a ballastic print of every firearm with its serial num,
"I have a license plate on my car. This hasn't prevented me from using it." thats the point. we're not trying to prevent people from using guns, just holding some degree of accountability when you use them wrongly.
"The first is bullet IDs -- you pack the propellant with very small ID tagged glitter" or microcode on the firing pin, which stamps into the shell casing when its fired.
thats not a bad idea.
An even better idea, is simply having the manufacturers test fire every gun lets say 5-10 rounds into water/ballistic gell, then retrieve the bullets and send them to the government with the gun serial numbers.
This would work far better than anything, and its proven, existing tech, that links actual projectiles fired to a gun barrel, to a gun serial number.
Or we could mandate that serial numbers be stamped into barrells, more than recievers. Being thats what makes a ballistics match.
"The second is tracking for ammo sales. You buy ammo? It gets logged, every damn bullet."
thats a terrible idea. we don't need more government tracking. Also, many people like to reload casings because it saves a lot of money for them.
the problem is that many of them are "secret" cameras.
So the system can ignore evidence, and only use the recordings when they deem fit.
I think that all police and government owned cameras not installed with a warrant, should produce footage which is public domain, and made available as web cams, with recorded copies available via FIOA
you mean the cops automagically follow rules, laws, regulations, and start acting in their victim's best intrest when someone is having a "mental health breakdown",
so what would normally be checks and balances against abuse of authority, now becomes cyber bullying if you ever question "being arrested for having a mental health breakdown"
the RIAA, the MPAA, rouge factions of various national governments, fully corrupt national governments, the mexican drug cartels, scientology, Wall Street, Islamic Fundimentalists
Just about every ruthless bunch of powerholding organizations you can think of.
thats because the enterprise market feels they have no other options.
Large businesses generally have large programs, with large databases that would take millions and millions to switch away from, and the ever present "uncertainty" of the FUD.
they stick with windows because they've been using windows forever, and are scared to change. microsoft's marketing people are adept at FUD(Fear Uncertantiy, Doubt), and playing up already stewed fears of the non-technically competent decision makers.
1. xbox - the only product they make people actually enjoy using
2. vendor lock ins, and enterprise sales of windows/office/sharepoint/etc... No one gets excited about their software, they just feel compelled to use it.

don't rely on moores law.
its estimated that HD size will top out at around 20-30gb, with current technology.
we also need a way to get faster transfer out of current drives.
good news is that 10GBE works on copper, and they are already thinking of standards for 40 and 100 GBE.
all we need are disks(and busses) that support that in the computer.
and some kick ass drivers.
whats your point?
in other news, IBM's computer grew out of juevinile language
smart people indeed.
yes and no.
it doesn't matter because MS makes money, and the product gets distributed either way.
it does matter, because this type of consumption does not predispose consumers to actually enjoyment of, or seeking out this product over competitors.
In fact the opposite. When given the choice, most people choose not to use windows. People don't actually like using it.
Only so long that can go on for.

I am one of those
I always practice good gun control.
I use both hands and always hit my target.
on a 15" screen, could you tell the diffrence between 1080p and 4k?
too bad the most you can get modded is +5 Funny.

Probably the most bitting funny comment in the historty of
no one really buys windows, its kinda given(forced) to you when you buy a new computer.

linking guns to fired bullets solves the problem.
i.e. getting a ballastic print of every firearm with its serial num,
"I have a license plate on my car. This hasn't prevented me from using it."
thats the point. we're not trying to prevent people from using guns, just holding some degree of accountability when you use them wrongly.
just like car liscensing and registration
"4K resolution is going to be a big deal for theaters and exhibition halls of various stripes"
thats what I'm thinking. I think we won't see consumer 4k devices for another 20 years.
but its good we get a spec now, and start hammering out bugs, so by the time the rest of the compute world can handle the bandwith, we're ready.

Just like the
gun owners shot it down.
Basicly the government can disable all your guns at will.
great idea.
sure, he still has the right to film.
the problem is that many of them are "secret" cameras.
So the system can ignore evidence, and only use the recordings when they deem fit.

"The article notes that the Deputy in question basically told the guy he was arrested for being a "buttinski""
If thats an arrestable offense, I'm in serious shit.

there was this thing called rhapsody.....
it was a bigger joke than NT. I hear rumors of A/UX, apples first go at unix.
microsoft continues to make money from two things
1. xbox - the only product they make people actually enjoy using
2. vendor lock ins, and enterprise sales of windows/office/sharepoint/etc... No one gets excited about their software, they just feel compelled to use it.
we should have let them sink.
talk about biting the hand that feeds. It was bad enough we bailed them out in the first place.
This is insult to injury.
