Sometimes that is true and sometimes it isn't. You assume the alternative to tasering someone is to pull a gun on them. In truth, the alternative is often just to stand back and talk to them, or simply walk away from them.
I guess everyone has already forgotten what the baton is for?
"Tell me why we need to change from a tested, reliable, working system to a new-fangled system with huge concerns as to the accuracy and security?"
There are 2 questions there.
1) Why change from the lever machines. They are a maintenance bitch, and they're not teaching how to repair them at the local BOCES.
2) Why adopt crap -- You really don't need to adopt crap. But it's SHINY crap ( who says you can't polish a turd? ), and the salesmen really treat you well.
3) And the tallies of the lever machines *can be* co-opted. It requires physical tampering, and leaves evidence of the tampering. This is WAY BETTER than, "What revision of that binary are you running?" on a video-voting machine.
I like Mark/Sense. Use the same gear at the school which is used every other day for grading papers, and there's a physical paper trail. And it can be ADA compliant.
It seems that these "Home Theater" guys never seem to understand how the Audio should work.
All that discussion about a reference system, and while he gets the "Bulk Monster Cable is Just Fine, as is any other properly sized conductor", he never once mentions setting up the speakers properly, i.e. Impulse Alignment, Room EQ, etc?
Oh, and if the band "Great White" taught us anything, it's to make sure your Acoustic Treatments are fireproof and properly rated for the application.
"Well, not being old enough to know better, and not patient enough to wait for the tubing to cool down on its own after bending it, I decided it might be best to cool it off in some water. I consider it fortunate I didn't lose an eye when the glass exploded."
Helpful Hint: When someone gives you one of them "Direct Numbers", tell 'em to hold on a sec, whip out your cellphone, and dial it WHILE THE SUCKER IS STILL ON THE LINE.
What are the CRIMINAL penalties for this Fraud? I would think that 18 USC 371 would apply, as FEMA engaged in this deception in part to deprive Congress of it's lawful role in oversight?
I was discussing this with an engineer friend. Let's say we wanted to get back into the race? Simple enough, you just dust off the plans for the Saturn V, setup the tooling, and...
Oh, shit... Not only don't we have the tooling, but we don't even have enough kids trained in running a drafting pencil to design the tooling. WE WOULD HAVE TO OUTSOURCE THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION TO --- Yup. Asia.
The only way Americans are going to get out into the wide-universe is as Contract Labor.
Some would consider it a national security issue, some would say it involves the long-term survival of humanity.
Whatever, combined with space-based solar/beamed microwave, there's a solution to 2 problems with one project. Build the orbital satellite factory and you have the infrastructure to get anywhere.
Dicking around with the ISS ain't the way to do it, folks. Don't send astronauts, send mechanical engineers, laborers, and parts.
And furthermore, that protection shall apply ONLY to that material worthy of protection under Article I, Section VIII, specifically, that such material promotes the progress of Science of the USEFUL Arts.

Dude, it's a joke.
LOL - A six-digit UID calling a five-digit UID "kid".
And you know, you don't necessarily have to BEAT someone to obtain compliance. A little poke in the side, to get them moving along, etc...
The GOOD thing about a baton, is if you need to escalate, you're not already at the envelope of possible responses.
I guess everyone has already forgotten what the baton is for?
You're both right.
And now it's time for us to be reminded on a true baseline power solution, not just for this Century, but for the next one, too.

Back up JUST a little, to when Leia changes out of the bikini. Downhill from there.
I don't know about that. First, the judicious use of whitespace might help people understand you argument better.
M is what T-SQL/stored procs wants to be when it grows up. I'm pretty sure getting help from Intersystems isn't an issue at the VA.
This is a Management/Change Management issue. Not a technical issue.
Why the hell is this modded at zero?
I believe that when the Legislature addresses some domain which had been prior subject to common-law, the legislation takes precedence.
e.g.: Statutory Marriage v. Common Law Marriage.
Keep in mind, that many Governmental functions are outsourced to private entities.

I'm sure his contract has a clause stating that he doesn't get a payout if he's terminated for cause.

Yeah, but you SURE learned THAT lesson!
Isn't this, then, *exactly* the time to learn how to do this stuff on-site? No-one said that learning was ever "easy".

That way, you can call "Bullshit" to his face.
Well, no. Especially after the Monica Goodling purges for a lack of the "Appropriate Religious Fundamentalist Beliefs"...
With the widespread Unlawful Domestic Surveillance, it's not like Cheney didn't already have his own list of whistle-blowers.

The point is the current crop of high school kids/community college kids, don't have the mechanical drawing skills and training to deliver.
Worry.

Well, if you're going to be like that...
We've got that word "limited" to deal with, and of course, no mention of the rights being transferable to Artificial Legal Entities...

Architecture is a Useful Art.
Brittney Spears is Not.
After what he and Joel Schumacher did to the Batman franchise?
Nope. There is no chastisement too strong.
What if you build them in orbit? Think of this as the "Eisenhower Interstate Program" for access to the rest of the Solar System.
