In a picture that he himself posted with "Remorseful?" as a caption. This was while awaiting sentencing, during which the court would like to know how much remorse he has. It's not so much that he was drinking Red Bull, but that he did so in a party, in a mock prison jumpsuit, with his free arm around sorority tail, consciously and deliberately yukking it up over the fact that he'd be facing his sentencing for his DUI conviction soon and that he wasn't half as remorseful as he was going to be telling the court.
It's not "ZOMG, he's got a canned beverage!" it's "ZOMG, his lawyer told him that he'll probably get away with probation and a slap on the wrist if he just shows up wearing a tie and says 'your honor' a lot!"
"First of all, he was drinking Red Bull, which is non-alcoholic, and while he was at a party I'd be thinking he'd be excited to be alive. Just me though."
First off, it was after he was already convicted, he was simply awaiting sentencing. So basically he was making light of his potential fate, one he probably doubted he'd get.
Second, according to TFA, Douchebag captioned said photo "Remorseful?" So, again, making light of his conviction and his pending probation (or so he thought).
"The other cases in the article are just as bad. A lady at a party drinking wine after a car accident? Wine just screams alcoholic!"
A car accident in which she was the driver and she killed her passenger. Drinking and joking about it while awaiting sentencing for drunk driving, after having killed somebody, suggests someone that hasn't quite grasped the gravity of brutally killing someone sitting not two feet away from you.
"The prosecution is saying she should be in AA? They know that she's an Alcoholic and didn't just make a bad choice? She's no longer aloud to drink anymore because of a bad choice?"
One in which she killed somebody.
"AA doesn't teach you to act correctly when you drink, it tried to get you to stop drinking completely"
Not that bad of an idea considering the fact that she killed someone and still saw to make light of it.
"Not to say I don't think they deserved it but expecting people to become inhuman because of an accident is just plain stupid."
How about ceasing the activity that previously lead to someone's death? Is that too much to expect? At least during the sentencing phase?
"A guy drinking red bull is a good example of just how RANDOM these pictures can be and yet they are grounds for upping a sentence?"
In a picture that the guy himself captioned as "Remorseful?" He was busily, actively, and consciously flaunting the fact that he wasn't remorseful, one of the conditions he would have needed to satisfy if he were going to to get away with probation.
Seriously, did you read the same linked article as I did?
"Oops, to continue my last post: it seems like Russia is abandoning huge amounts of its territory in a way I've never seen in the U.S. or the EU."
Twice the land area, half the population, and central planning isn't around to tell them where they have to live any more.

"If you want to believe that dividing by some arbitrary conversion factor is easier than moving a decimal you just go right ahead believing your delusions."
How do I convert atomic mass units to meters again? What about degrees Celsius to kelvins?
"Riiiiiight. Because unit conversion mistakes never occur and it's MUCH easier to do unit conversions than to just use the same measurement system everywhere."
NASA asked an aerospace company to build a craft that measures altitude in meters when even planes in France measure it in feet. Which was the party that didn't stick with international standards and conventions again?
Apparently SI also excels at putting out outdated information or just plain misinformation. It is impossible for 1 mL of water to have a mass of 1 g at 101 325 Pa and still be liquid. What you're referencing are two different definitions of the liter and the kilogram that are mutually exclusive; the kilogram was first defined as a liter of water, which was defined as a cubic decimeter, but then it was changed so that a liter was defined as a kilogram of water, which broke the relationship between the liter and the cubic decimeter. But both systems are rather silly and, worst of all, self-referential, since the density of a mass of water varies with pressure, the definition of which requires a definition for mass, so it was changed again so that the units of mass and the units of volume have nothing to do with each other. So the upshot is that there is a measurable difference between 1 L today and 1 L a century ago, which is why BIPM followed the example of the medical industry and would prefer to deprecate the term to begin with.
If you want a system where it's possible to get 1 unit volume of liquid water to weigh 1 unit of mass, may I suggest the US system, where it is possible to get 1 fl oz US to weigh 1 oz avdp at 101 325 Pa, which is funny since (unlike the metric or UK systems) the US has never based liquid volume on the mass of water.
"1m^3 of water = 1000kg = 1 tonne)"
Additionally, it's much more proper to refer to 1000 kg as 1 Mg, because insistence on calling it a "tonne" is not only an attempt to hang on to the measurement system you're disparaging, but also fosters misunderstanding because of the myriad of measurement units that use that name, many of which aren't even units of mass. If you're going to sing the praises of base 10 math and standardized prefixes, use them.
"it doesn't have half a dozen wacky variations on the same damn unit"
Metric ton, long ton, short ton, shipping ton, ton of TNT, ton of refrigeration...
"What's convenient about remembering that miles have 5280 feet?"
It's cleanly divisible by a lot more numbers than 1000 is, saving you a great deal of time on long division.
"Oh, wait, just to be clear I meant an international mile, not the U.S. survey mile (5280 survey feet)"
If you don't know what the acronym "PLSS" stands for, the one and only application for statute miles, then there is no reason for you to use it. And even then, the difference is about 3 millimeters, a difference so small that only specific applications that require such precision (like measuring the size of North America to at least the nearest inch).
"or international nautical mile (about 6076 feet)."
And do you know why you had to use the word "about?" Because it's defined in terms of meters. So, again, as a user of the word "tonne," you don't have a leg to stand on to complain.
"Have you ever noticed that virtually ALL Imperial units are now defined in terms of the metric system? An inch isn't an inch anymore, it's 2.54 centimetres exactly. There's a reason for that"
Um... because the French maintained their standards more rigorously than the British, so that their lengths didn't shrink and their masses didn't leak? So the French used a more durable alloy in defining lengths than did the British at the time, what exactly does this have to do with how each system's "One True Chunk of Metal" was divided up or what they're called?
" -- because the metric system isn't built on a shifting sand of dozens of different archaic national standards"
The foundation on which SI rests is only as stable as the government of 19th century France was, i. e. not very. Before SI was implemented proper in the 1870's (and indeed, even after in the case of the gram and the liter), the units were defined, redefined, and reredefined many times, often in mutually exclusive ways, and these changes were implemented often in the na
It could be 0% and nothing would change. Ask any voter and they'll tell you that the House of Representatives is composed of 434 voting asshats and one person who walks on water, who just happens to represent their district. Besides, the incumbents have seniority due to tenure, which further disinclines voters to vote against them.
"The Bush administration will make their life difficult if they investigate telecomm immunity."
For six months? Does the phrase "lame duck" mean anything to you? All anybody that didn't support the immunity and wasn't complicit in it would have to do is run out the clock, and yet...
"I think the GP was just saying that until we know the intimate details (which probably nobody does except Hans now), we shouldn't make a moral judgment so quickly."

"There are plenty of bastards killed every year by their battered wives who finally snapped at their abuse and just killed the sons of bitches. We let them off with manslaughter, suspended sentences, or don't charge them at all."
The ones that kill their husbands in the middle of a "domestic disturbance" do indeed get off. The ones who wait a week or a month or a year after the last time he laid hands on her, where there isn't an immediate threat to her life, before she takes the time to plan the murder and execute it... I think you'll find that yes, they really do go to jail. Or executed.
"Those men had it coming. I don't shed a single fucking tear."
If she had the time to walk away, she had the time to get a divorce.
"But you seem to say that just because of their gender, a woman can never, ever have it coming?"
If Hans had to figure out a way to abduct her to in order to murder her, she obviously wasn't around to threaten him, was she?
"Have some imagination, why don't you. If one of your guy friends is a prick to you, again and again and again, eventually you might just punch him - and rightly so."
And he'd have cause to press charges for battery, and rightly so. If you skipped "Stop," "Go away," "Leave me alone," "Get out of my apartment," and "Don't make me call the cops" and jumped right to punching him, you have issues.
"But you're saying there is nothing, literally nothing at all, that could possibly warrant the same for a woman, beyond her threatening him with a gun?"
Self-defense is only justified if you can't walk away; the number of states that don't legally require you to try to walk away first I can count on one hand, and they're all in the Deep South. If you can leave, it's not harassment.
"Lengthy history of purely malicious intent would be a good first step."
Anybody that had the balls to plan the murder, carry it out, hide the body, attempt to destroy evidence, and then spend two years swearing up and down that he didn't do anything (only to finally cave when it turned out the bullshit story didn't work) crossed the threshold necessary to say "I want a divorce" and/or start talking to a divorce lawyer a long time ago. Unless, of course, you're hoping to avoid alimony payments.
I've seen domestic violence. Victims of it that are unable to get out of it do so because their self esteem is so low they can't imagine living without their abuser; they're the ones that pay their abusers' bail. The only ones real victims kill are themselves, either directly or by letting their abusers finish them off.
"Maybe when you live a little longer, and mix a little bit outside your tight social circle, you'll encounter that kind of person,"
I had a college roommate that ended up marrying a completely psychotic and manipulative bitch. He divorced her. I had another friend that married a ridiculously jealous man who liked smacking her around a bit. Let's just say she died under questionable circumstances.
"and then you'll know what i mean"
Oh, I know exactly what you mean. The only people that think that your reasoning makes sense are the abusers themselves, who are simply too fucking egotistical to believe that, yeah, it really is their fault. So I dearly hope you're single and will stay that way for the rest of your life, lest you have some other victim you can try that "You made me do it baby!" bullshit on.
"Actually women have been using the "he drove me to it" defence for murdering their husbands quite successfully for years."
Citations needed. And not "reduced sentencing," that's not all that successful; back it up with a "not guilty" verdict.
Besides, the "He drove me to do it" excuse isn't anywhere near the "She's not really dead, she really fled the country and is trying to make it look like I killed her" excuse.
I can't think of how else to describe this. The title and the summary suggest that there's some new bill floating around Congress right now that's targeting this man specifically, maybe an impeachment or something. But TFA talks about the same bill that's already been covered before. We already knew there is a pending lawsuit or two and we already know the retroactive immunity is aimed to end it. There is nothing new for me to write to my members of Congress for them to promptly ignore.
Is this story so boring and uninteresting that we have to get sensational about it?
"but I can go eat, go out, go to bed, watch TV, whatever, while that's happening"
If that's so fun and exciting to do, why not do it while the PS3 is working? After parting with the currency I dropped on the console, I'd like to actually use it from time to time.
"Is a restore of your data on an already working system going to be any quicker than installing Final Fantasy whatevertheheckversionitisnow?"
Going through a PlayStation Store download, 5 disks, and 6 hours to download 6 years worth of patches is just a bit slower than, say, not having the console crash to begin with.
"It's not like you have to do it every day too."
The prospect of playing Russian roulette with the biweekly system updates, with the chance to spend 8 hours of my life doing something I'd rather not do, doesn't exactly entice me to happily go along with Sony's continuing efforts to stop the homebrew crowd.
"it's just a console and the problem is relatively easy to fix compared to for example the whole RROD fiasco."
Ship off the console, hang on to the hard drive and its data. And on top of that, Microsoft doesn't insist that you have the original receipt in spite of going through the hardware registration process (putting up with these buggy USB ports on my 60 GB is cheaper than paying Sony to fix a brand new console).
Square-Enix has been taking some rather draconian steps to protect Final Fantasy XI accounts as well, where the main culprit is apparently passwords getting stolen through Flash vulnerabilities, usually through websites of questionable character.
The thing is, you know this isn't happening through news aggregator sites or pr0n sites or whatever, these attacks are aimed at players through websites that focus on the game. It seems to me that the easiest way to solve the problem of these attacks is for the game publishers to provide these information and services (which players generally need to get anywhere in these games) themselves. But so far they seem content to let "the community" handle creating and maintaining these sites, and then paying through the nose for the security problems such heavy reliance on third parties bring.
