If you recall, CNN is a shitty website that takes down their articles a few months later. Linking to it is pretty useless because the link WILL be dead. I heard about it several years before CNN would admit to the general bottom-feeder news public that the govt does it, but when they did this to take down a mafia person, they sort of had to disclose how they did it. And yes, the FBI admits this. But it's up to you to find your own links, sorry.
Good luck finding a local d.a. willing to indict a cop for "doing his job". Might I recommend RSS-subscribing to BadCopNews.net for a few months? It'll wake you up to the way things work.
Actually, I used CNN because they seem to have a lot of legitimacy with a lot of people, not because I am a particular fan. Don't have the channel, and no longer bored enough at work to read the site (because I have no job! zing!). Hell, I heard about it on PrisonPlanet / Alex Jones 2 years before that... which is yet another "sensational news site that makes money by selling its advertisments", albeit a bit more tin-foil-hat-y. But it took a lot longer to hit mainstream, and CNN Is a good reference for that. Suffice to say that I barely touch mainstream news these days... I'm about to cancel my cable for good because I've used it for about 10 minutes out of the last $200 spent @ $20 a month.
it's simple to store data to memory and transmit next time the phone is on -- a smaller, secondary battery can easily be inserted. You do know they are allowed to enter your house and bug your stuff without ever notifying you, right? But: The point you made -- is taken.
When you moderate a post, you moderate the content of entire post, not a sentence that was an aside. Do you actually have a point, or do you simply bait flame from flamebaiters?
Specifically the ones that mention cellphone memory and how conversations can be recorded to that prior to upload NEXT TIME you turn it on.
You also need to read the news.com news article linked to from other comments here. The FBI was pretty clear in its statements.
Thank you for providing the counter-example of a swapped out cellphone -- that'd a good point. But I think they don't even need to do THAT.
And an iphone is not turned off when it's turned off -- Go read the slashdot article about the guy who got a $5000 bill when it was "turned off" while on a cruise. It still checks your email, it still transfers data. I could be wrong -- I don't have an iphone. Or a cellphone. I'm not an expert. But I do rememeber what I've read that makes me NOT want to get one.
Matt Groening has made it quite clear that he was QUITE involved in the movie. You should try watching your dvd extras sometimes.
You're a quitter. One who walks out of movies. One who doesn't even try to enjoy something. I get it. Opinions from people who walk out of movies are pretty useless to those of us who don't. I've never walked out of a movie in my life. Anyone who has -- is way too much of a pessimist to ever listen to. Go back to reading books if you require that much from your entertainment.
I'm going to mentally meta-moderate your mental moderation of my post as flamebait as "unfair". At worst, it was redundant, because I noticed after posting it that several other people also pointed out the very valid, relevant, non-flamebait point that cellphones can be listened in on even when not making a call.
But no.. I actually don't know that I have bad karma. I don't care enough to check. So the real reason would truly be from not giving a fuck. But thank you for your interest.:)
The UK and USA governments have both used cellphones to listen in on private conversations WHILE A CALL WAS NOT BEING MADE. Even CNN verifies this. Basically -- taking the battery out IS necessary if you want true privacy with NO chance of interference. And that's just one of many reasons why I would never get the piece of crap called the iPhone.
Far enough... But it wont be. All the movies are repacking of a the new season. EVERY futurama movie WILL simply be "multiple episodes edited into a movie". Which, honestly, is what a movie based on a tv show SHOULD be. A story is a story. Being snobby about the editing involved just makes it harder to appreciate the story.
I think it is actually YOU that only has ghostly traces of your original ability to appreciate it. There really is no discernible difference between this movie / 3 episodes, other than that it is a 3-episode arc rather than a 1 episode arc. It continues all the major plot points RIGHT WHERE THEY LEFT OFF, but there are always predictable naysayers like you. The same people who didn't like all the other adaptations movies: Aqua Teen, South Park, Beavis & Butt-head, The Simpsons, The Golden Compass. (I think LOTR is an exception though, most of the naysayers for LOTR were NOT fans of the original work.)
And please don't start with the tiresome "it played like 3 episodes, not a movie" argument. They intended to do that. They want 3 episodes to be able to air on 3 nights in syndication. That's the only type of comment more tiresome than your type of comment.
Hey moron, it IS 3 long episodes put together. They STATED that that is their INTENT -- to have 66 minutes of video that can either be split into 3 22-minute fullscreen episodes, or 1 66-minute widescreen movie. How can they bring the series back without episodes? So you're whining about something they intended to do. Turn in your fanboy card.
But I've always thought the shouting fire in a theatre was a really poor example...
I wrote about it on my blog here (so I wont repeat myself), but there are some insightful comments that re-state my opinion better than I did originally.
In short, I wish people would use another example.
Space Ghost Coast To Coast substituted the 1st Rammstein son gfrom the first Rammstein album (the only one out at the time, 'Du Hast' did not exist) for them theme song way back in 1997 or 1998. So I heard about it due to Cartoon Network/AdultSwim. IS that the RIAA's fault? FUCK.
So your statement is true. But if you try to apply it to all gamers, it is a patently false and laughable claim. Even when I was 8 years old, I knew how much a life cost me. With the coupon that got me X tokens for $30, with 50% matching from my parents, and games that gave you 2 plays per 25 cent token, I quite enjoyed knowing that one life cost around 2 cents (not going to do the math again). I am not so singularly unique as to be the only one to consider such a thing. I think you are confusing gamers with fiscally irresponsible people. Fiscally responsible people consider the cost of everything. Don't confuse enthusiasm with irresponsibility.
Napalm is not "legal" to use in war against civilian targets. Not anymore. That's why we use white phosphorous now! It's basically the same thing, but with a different name. Kind of like "Prisoner Of War" vs "enemy combatant".

Mission Accomplished.
Oh i have Shock Treatment. haven't watched it yet.... :) But yes, it was something like that. A friend posted some pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/caseylea/with/2503302939/

Thanks... I like being borderline. I'm not a joiner and hate being in the center of any group.

"moron" a lot, right?

No, I'm saying that there is no escape from Chuck Norris! Even light, no matter how far away, will eventually succumb.

1)You can't win. 2)You can't break even. 3)You can't quit.
and the event horizon of Chuck Norris is infinity.
