  1. Re:Parallel "Nothing Wrong" case in VA on Deputy Who Fatally Struck Cyclist While Answering Email Will Face No Charges · · Score: 1

    Even if it's your daughter? How is life as a sociopath?

  2. Re:From the linked article... on Deputy Who Fatally Struck Cyclist While Answering Email Will Face No Charges · · Score: 1

    ...this was just simple, honest to god lying.

    Turns out that is illegal, too. D.A. doesn't care, though.

    The cop in this case lied to investigators. D.A. didn't have a problem with that, either.

    You cannot be 'convicted' of entering the bicycle lane because that is not a criminal offense.

    I believe you are mistaken.

    If you or I had hit the cyclist due to inattentive driving (no computer or phone involved, just driving along and "Squirrel!") and drifting into the bike line, we'd be facing manslaughter charges.

    But if he had been convicted, large race-riots were expected.

    By who? Nobody in Southern California was going to riot if OJ had been convicted.

  7. Re:I like... on U.S. Senator: All Cops Should Wear Cameras · · Score: 1

    The cops would have control over the tapes, right?

    Doesn't have to be that way. Put the City Clerk's office in charge of them (though I'm sure the officers' unions would have something to say about that). There are probably laws already in place that makes tampering with things like that a crime, if not a felony.

  8. Re:CA is mind bottling on California DMV Told Google Cars Still Need Steering Wheels · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't CA be pushing hard for driverless vehicles? Removing human error from the equation would save countless lives.

    Consider all the bug-free software that is written, especially for first-generation devices. Oh, wait...

  9. Re:Be careful with those assumptions. on The Evolution of Diet · · Score: 1

    The idea that we have not had time to evolve to farmed food is just stupid.

    No, it's an interesting hypothesis. The thing is, nobody has bothered testing it (in any meaningful way) so it's just that: a hypothesis. Unfortunately, an unsupported hypothesis has never stopped a fad diet before.

    ...FB just banned their existence.

    These weren't even things in 1984.

    As a member of that class of 1984, I was thinking the same thing.

  12. Re:People should leave. They Don't. on When Customer Dissatisfaction Is a Tech Business Model · · Score: 1

    Maybe they were smart enough to realize BP isn't the problem? As long as we're dependent on fossil fuels we're going to extract them from the ground.

    So BP isn't responsible for the oil spill, we are? What a tool...

  14. Re:High tech farming on FarmBot: an Open Source Automated Farming Machine · · Score: 1

    Who told you California isn't using machines for harvesting? Good look finding workers harvesting grapes out here, as it's all done by machines now. How do you think we're able to feed the rest of you slackers? ;-)

    Having sex in your fenced, backyard hot-tub when you live next door to a skyscraper or under a cliff is asking to be watched.
    Having sex in your fenced, backyard hot-tub when you live in a tract home in the Phoenix suburbs isn't.

    Coming soon: drone porn. "I was flying my new drone around the neighborhood for the first time when you won't believe what I caught my sexy neighbor doing with the pool man!"

    Compared to the cost of maintaining even a very reliable gas-powered car like a Honda Accord, $600/yr looks like a bargain.
