  1. Re:Heard a story on NPR this morning... on Atlanta Gambled With Winter Storm and Lost · · Score: 1

    The warning was updated at 3 am. That is plenty of time.

  2. Re:Pffft on Atlanta Gambled With Winter Storm and Lost · · Score: 2, Informative

    That is not true either. The NOAA released a warning at 3 am saying it was going to hit Atlanta. The snow did not hit until noonish. The city either knew or should have know they should prepare the plows and salt trucks and start pretreating the roads. They then could have eased much of the burden by canceling school and having government workers stay home.

    Yes, thank you.

    RDP does not need to be on the same domain, you need a routable IP address though.

  5. Re:Double bind on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 1

    If you read the comment I was replying to he spoke about the texter being rude and in previous comments he has implied that the texter deserved it. It sounds like a defense to me.

  6. Did you forget they were targeting not just "Tea Party" but "Occupy" groups as well? Oh that part is conveniently forgotten? Gotcha. Sounds like they were targeting political groups claiming to be non profits so they could influence elections with little oversight. Frankly it sounds like they were doing their job.

  7. Re: It's about time! on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 1

    Then I would ask why you picked a fight with the big bad scary man instead of getting management involved. The guy texting was an a-hole, but the fact of the matter is that the old man started the mano e mano fight instead of getting the manager, or switching seats.

    Your sense or proportion is messed up.

  9. Re:It's about time! on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 1

    Sure, he may be clearing his hands, but what if he is doing so to defend himself? In fact it sounds like he needs to defend himself. If I had my hands full of grocery bags and you were confronting me, and I felt I was in danger I might just drop the bags to prepare to defend myself. Claiming that as a valid defense for shooting someone is ridiculous.

  10. Re:Finally some good news for a change. on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 1

    Just because others need to grow up does not mean they need to be shot. It also does not mean that you don't need to grow up.

  11. Re:It's about time! on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 1

    Your sense of proportion is completely out of whack. In fact it is so out of whack that I think there needs to be disincentives for it.

  13. Re:Cellphones during the movie was debated.... on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 1

    You are trying to equate the two, but you fail to point out that the cell phone only annoys, while the gun wielding idiot kills.

    And your just being childish defending the murderer.

  15. Re:Finally some good news for a change. on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 1

    That certainly changes things doesn't it!! I mean if people cant watch the movie trailers then whats the point of going to the movie. Most certainly a capital offense to interrupt those. Grow up.

  16. Re: It's about time! on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 2

    Well I will clue you in, having nachos or a cold soda thrown at you are also not valid reasons to kill someone. Valid reasons to call the cops and press assault charges maybe, but not valid reasons to shoot someone. Next time you step on someones shoes or accidentally elbow them when walking past would they be justified in shooting you, because you certainly cause more harm then being hit with a piece of popped corn would.

  17. Re:It's about time! on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, texting during a movie is not a capital offense. It fact it is not against the law. It makes them a a-hole, but not a criminal. No justification for the shooting, fry the shooter.

  18. Re:It's about time! on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 4, Insightful

    From what I have read, three or four accounts now, the only thing that may have physically happened is someone threw popcorn at the arguing idiots. Being hit with popcorn is not a valid defense for shooting someone. In fact unless the person has a weapon or is currently physically beating you I don't believe there is any excuse for shooting someone in a theater.

    Good job leaving out pertinent information and context. Where is the email that he is replying to, and now that this email is out in the public what exactly is he accused of saying/doing.

    Apparently the school you went to didn't teach grammar. If you are ESL then you are excused, otherwise people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
