there's something so despicable about drones. at the very least when somebody flies a bombing mission he's taking on some risk to his own life. these drone "pilots" basically play videogames in Langley VA all day long, yet they think they're hot stuff and I read they even wear flight suits when piloting them. it's despicable and cowardly for somebody to cause so much destruction while hiding behind a computer screen 5000 miles away.
Roughly 99.9% of people who use the word "unconstitutional" are not constitutional lawyers nor constitutional law experts. I'll be nice and hold back telling you what they really are.
The amber alert notices have license plates and car descriptions. is that what they mean by kidnapping alert? what would be the use of anonymized criminal activity alerts? "keep an eye out for a vehicle in the vicinity of downtown LA!".
The law eliminates religious and philosophical exemptions, not medical exemptions. Unless your allergy to eggs is a philosophical stance, you'll be fine.
At the very least I hope you found it helpful to learn the proper spelling of "toe the line". It's like a bunch of runners at the beginning of a race, think of it that way. "Tow the line" is more of a speedboat analogy, I'm not sure how it applies.
i understand the basics of how a stingray works - it puts out a stronger signal than the nearest tower, and the phones connect to it instead of the tower. but what is it capable of, and how does it do it?
First, location. obviously any phone that connects to the stingray must be in the vicinity of the stingray. But do phones ping the tower with their GPS coordinates? Cuz then the stingray would be receiving a whole bunch of imei numbers with attached gps coordinates.
what about call metadata and call content recording?
Hope they don't catch me cheating the magic crystal ball. They might send the leprechauns after me.
that's just it, right? the ultimate polygraph countermeasure is to understand it's a psychological trick to get you to confess to things you wouldn't have confessed to otherwise. if they get you to confess to something, then you "failed" the polygraph. If they can't manipulate a confession out of you, then the polygraph is "inconclusive". it's impossible to "pass" a polygraph test.
an exception may be one where a) the testers actually believe in the polygraph test themselves and b) they don't need a confession. like imagine a job interview at ABC Shizzface Company. some company head hocho dodo says we should do polygraph, so middle management dodo gets a consultant and totally believes anything the consultant tells him because he believes that polygraphs are objective truths. Then they don't need to get a confession, they just need to get any sense of unease and they will deny you the job.
Also while the cell phone infrastructure is controlled by four large companies, anybody can send out a fm signal with the right (cheap) equipment. Also, strong fm signals can go 100 miles.
at your links, autorotation in a helicopter occurs only when it is decending. effectively translating horizontal motion into rotatation. it's like saying in a moving electric car the road under the car "the road flow" charges the batteries. This is true, but only when decelerating and the regenerative brakes are applied.
in a gyrocopter, airflow provides lift but you need external power to rotate the rotors if you want to go up or stay level. I can imagine that if you're decending in an autogyro you can do the same thing in a helicopter of reducing the load on the engine.
i'm pretty sure what will happen to him is he'll be charged with all sorts of crazy stuff and face a harrowing trial then prolly end up doing 12 mo in lockup.
Really. You're comparing a protest against a monarchy that was suppressing free speech (among many other very bad things), to a guy who decided to fly a dodgy piece of dangerous equipment with high speed rotors past crowds of tourists in order to register his complaint that we have a constitutional guarantee of free speech?
actually the rotors are very low speed. gyrocopters rotate at 500 RPM, which is the same range as helicopters. but helicopter rotors are designed like a fan, where lift is generated by directing air downwards. If you look at a gyrocopter rotor it has the cross section of an airplane wing. lift is generated from the bournulli effect. ao if you stand under a gyrocopter you aren't blown away by the downwind.
a couple thoughts... 1) this guy is a nut. the fact that he is a post man and shows up with 535 *stamped* letters is super funny. 2) gyrocopters are inherently funny. those things don't fly so much as fall through the air and manage not to crash. they remind me of bumblebees. 3) maybe this is a woosh on my part, but the GP refers to TSA nut grabbing. This was just in the news yesterday cuz there was a bust at denver where a gay tsa officer was using coded signals to other officers so he would ahve the chance to grope people's nuts.
Actually, the acidification primarily effects animals with shells or bones. So soon you can go for a swim and there will be nothing but jellyfish. No sharks though.
It's often illegal to obstruct police in the course of their duties. If they have to stop what they're doing and come over and confiscate your cell phone, then your obstructing them by making them stop you. This is the bs argument they use.

well they're not statisticians, that's for sure!
(One of these days I'm going to look up "dance card" and find out what that is, assuming someone bothered to wiki something that old.)
In MtG, if you play a dance card then you 1-up somebody who played a different card.
Kidnappers are usually anonymous. That's sort of the key part of any crime, really. Get that wrong and you haven't got much of a career ahead of you.
that only matters if you let the people go after the ransom is paid...
alternatively, some people just kidnap themselves, especially if they owe money all over town.

Criminals won't pause before popping and unlocking.
My own preference is to pop and lock.

yahoo and its agencies are having a conscious uncoupling?

duckduckgo for the win, as always.
agreed. ddg is my default on desktop and mobile, which means I can use shortcuts like !bangs in the url bar.

technically, a kangaroo court would violate 4th amendment due process rights.

you weren't allowed to drink coffee in high school? is that a mormon thing?
is that why I was searched?
