1)Try to have as little to do with them as possible
2)Be polite when you do have to deal with them 3)Get to know them, and let them get to know you, in polite, friendly situations
My god, shouldn't we do this with everyone we see?
I can't believe some of you people.
"I will be a freaking jerk because it is my right to be. I will take 10 minutes from this guys time because it is my right, and I don't care that those 10 minutes might be the 10 minutes in which he might prevent a crime or arrest a criminal because he was around the corner as opposed talking to me."
Sure I can stand up for my rights. But I know what are my rights, and I know that I can still freaking give some information and be helpful to a person that is making my neighborhood safer.
Yeah, so I might get harrassed sometime because I match a suspects description. But I don't have anything to hide. And I understand that THIS IS WHAT I CHOOSE TO DO TO BE PROTECTED FROM SCUM who will think nothing of putting a dent in my head.
I don't know where you people live but what I see on this board is just amazing.
A police officer, first and foremost is a citizen of this country. And a human being. He has every right for being concerned for his safety and if you read your laws, which are there because your elected official put it there, he has a right to do so.
(BTW If you lie to authorities all the time, then I would not want to know you. Because you'd lie to me too. And I really can't stand liars.)
World is getting more violent every day, and not long ago even the English police finally started carrying weapons for self protection. Cops are outnumbered and outgunned, and if you believe that most of them are beligerent sadists then you should go lock yourself in the house and never come out. Because the police will get you.
Or maybe move to Michigan, join the militia and live in the woods like a monkey.
Of course, this protection is only for citizens. US Permanent Residents are required to carry our Permanent Resident Card at all times and to provide it upon request. There is no mention of probable cause or anything else. Doesn't matter if they've lived here and payed taxes for 15 years.
Wow, these are some really lazy programmers. I understand that they are reusing some code from before but at least they could change copyright dates...

Hey, no biggie. At least they comment their code. My code is commented only in places so convoluted that even I get lost.
How interesting that everyone is saying that Best Buy is dropping the vpr line. However not many people know that vprMatrix is actually a subsidiary of BestBuy and the products are still available for purchase at BestBuy if not on display. I know cause I work there (paying off school loans) part time...
To me, it wouldn't make sense to drop your own product. But that's just me.

You, my friend, are so very mistaken.

Hey, I know all about pointers and some about user defined types. Can I come and work for your company?
Soooo....
I just moved to an all Linux machine and have no Divx or Quicktime player... Any suggestions? I'd like to see these...
