Their insistence that he get on his feet or they would tase him again is all the proof we need that they were not the brightest bulbs in the pack. The function of a Taser shock is to disable by disrupting nerve and muscle function.
If you could stand up after being Tased they wouldn't be using them in the first place.
I don't know about the campus police, but part of the taser training for full police officers is to take a taser shot themselves, just like with mace (which is much more painful and longer lasting).
The current taser models override the voluntary muscle nerve impulses and cause the body to tense for the duration it's firing. Once it's off you're back to normal within a few seconds, with the exception of the adrenaline rush.
Almost everyone is able to get right back up if they choose to do so, especially if people are trying to pull them up from under the arms as it appears those officers were trying to do at one point in the video.
However, tasers are intended as a means of subduing a suspect without causing serious harm, not convince them to move.
So to respond to your original post, he could have gotten up when they told him to, the taser shot won't stop that. He chose not to. That's non-violent resistance, and I wouldn't begrudge anyone that. They needed to suck it up, get a few guys and carry him out if that's what needed to be done.
Atheism does not make you predisposed to any particular behavior, or increase your likelihood of doing or not doing something
Actually, atheists are less likely to end up in prison or get divorced. This is the first page I came across in google, and I'm sure there are better ones out there to be found.
They could do both potentially, allowing you to edit what's displayed when a given program has focus, particularly if it doesn't make an attempt to support the keyboard's functionality.
Then you can make or obtain key mappings for programs that aren't even in development any more, which is pretty desirable on it's own.
It's possible that those mini threes were being made by hand on a small scale, perhaps as a means of raising further capital and helping to identify engineering/manufacturing issues. A paid beta test if you will.
A lot of manufacturing processes get a lot cheaper when automated and scaled into hundreds of thousands of units. While they may not hit $400, I'd bet they can get within a few hundred of that.
I wonder if they'll have some kind of sleep mode for the displays to ensure they won't burn out prematurely.
One of the biggest hurdles I'd heard of for OLEDs was their lifespan, particularly for the blue emitters.
I'm not sure if they have issues with burn in, but a screensaver would be nice too. Perhaps a slideshow that spans all the keys, or Pac Man running back and forth across rows;)
A coworker of mine wanted a PS3. When a local pre-sale came up he found himself at the head of the line. He ended up getting one of the 22 available pre-sale tickets. After seeing the supply/demand at work he put it up on ebay and when finished it had closed at $1600.
Now, while he wanted a PS3, he gladly accepted $1000 instead. While Sony is dropping the ball on the supply side, you can't blame them for the folks with cash to spare capitalizing on the situation.
If you really need HPNA bridges there are tons of cheap 2Wire gateways on ebay. Put them in bridge mode and lock the line pair you want to use. If you're using DSL, lock it to the pair that's not being used. Sure they're big, but they're readily available and there's no driver required since they're bridging to ethernet.
Also, 2Wire has several gateway models with HPNA v3 and they'll no doubt adopt 3.1 soon enough.
See if you can set up a CAPTCHA that must be completed before the post can be put up. Multiple missed attempts could even ban an IP. Just be sure you have some alternate means for people that have issues with their vision.
I live in Phoenix and have Cable Service through Cox communications. On a normal evening of channel surfing I can step into the next room and hear muddled sounds from a given show but not necessarily hear what is being said. However when the Cox "Anti-DSL" ad comes on I can clearly hear what the annoying sales-lady is saying from the other side of my apartment. In the same room it's painfully loud (deafening me with an advert for cable broadband I already subscribe to doesn't endear me to their services). I had heard that commercial audio levels are typically 6dB louder than normal programming, though it seems Cox is going a bit further than that. Perhaps they're purposefully attenuating other program audio to get that effect.
I had also heard that some DVR programs were already using that audio level difference in conjunction with other methods to isolate commercials.
It's enough to make a man buy a multi-channel compressor and add it to the entertainment center.
I believe in global warming, I believe CO2 plays a part.
It's my belief that Global Warming, being just a theory, is one of many possible ways to explain what was/is happening with our environment. I myself believe in "Intelligent Climate Change", as the atmosphere is an incredibly complex system, one that a higher being must have created with purpose and forethought. I think it's high time that Intelligent Climate Change was given equal standing in science curriculum.

I can't find the exact post, but someone here previously suggested sending a bill for your "Check Writing Fee" or something similar along with the payment you make.
No one will likely notice or care, but after 90 days, send a quick letter to their accounts payable department letting them know it will be going to collections if it's not paid. Chances are good you'll get a check for whatever amount you're looking for, provided it's not overly large.
Might I suggest a bill for your "Consumer Resources Recovery Fee"
Am I the only one that really wants to mod that game with some kind of impact target?
I love playing that game, but puching with those heavy gloves and not actually hitting anything plays hell on my shoulders. Maybe even replace the gloves with real gloves and some thin steel cable to keep them from walking off.
I had a Duron that I had overclocked from the normal 100Mhz FSB to 133. Most Durons of that era really didn't like to do that and I had to significantly increase my vCore to make it happen. For some reason if I cold booted my machine it would lock up while the OS was loading. If I rebooted after that it would boot and run with no further issues. Better than that, if I detoured through the CMOS config page and exited immediately or paused the POST, it would boot fine.
Who would think you'd need to let a duron warm up before taking it out for a test drive.
Don't downgrade your CPU for a thermal noise based RNG. Just drop one of these in your machine of choice and enjoy the Quantum derived random numbers:-D
We have to remember this is the same Yahoo that is firmly partnered with SBC/ATT. The same company that's in the NSA's back pocket. I wonder how much of their efforts are being rewarded locally by intelligence groups.
I have a similar issue with my work issued dothan based Acer. The speaker leads are picking up some high frequency output, maybe 14-15kHz. It will break up when the processor kicks in to do something, but aside from that it's just a quiet shriek in the background. Starts to wear on the nerves after a while. Does anyone know of a Windows utility similar to QuietMBP?
If your iMac 266 is one of the slot loading models (not sure if the slot-loaders went that far down for processors), then it is based on the same motherboard as the iMac DV Special Edition, which has the requsite firewire and DVD-ROM capability. The installer does not differentiate between that mainboard and lesser ones of the same line and will run without issue provided you have a DVD Drive to install from.
I've had to do some rescues of data from iMacs, and after the first one I made a couple cables to help in the process. Later, I used these to load 10.4 on my brothers slot loading non-DV iMac.
The connector on the motherboard is a 50-pin connector with the same form factor as a SCSI ribbon cable. The first 40 pins are normal ATA and the remaining ones are power and audio for the CD-ROM drive. The easiest thing to do it get one Molex Power Spiltter and an ATA cable with the normal 2 drive connectors and one socket connector. I pressed my own but I have seen them pre-made.
Disconnect the ATA cable from the CD-ROM and from your HD, then plug your cable onto the 40-pin connector you removed from the HD. Now you can plug the HD and a standard DVD-ROM onto the new cable. I used a crappy off brand spare DVD drive I had handy and it worked just fine, just make sure you have your master/slave settings correct (not sure if it supports cable select).
In one instance I was unable to find that cable and I was able to successfully plug a standard ATA cable into the 50 pin socket on the board after removing the key protrusion from the cable. If you do that, make sure that you have pin 1 of the cable at the appropriate spot and that you do not press the cable in too hard as the outside of the connector will be pushing some of the unused pins to the side. It may pay to grind down the sides of the connector on a spare cable to minimize this.
Connect the drives to power with the Molex splitter and install. Once that's complete, connect everything back as it was and you're set.
Arcane? Possibly. Difficult? Not really.
Of course if it's not a slot-loading iMac you're SOL and it might just be time to move on. Best of luck!
My previous employer handled billing for pay site (guess what kind:-D)
I recieved a call from a customer who was having trouble entering their password. He said there were non-standard characters in it, which isn't a big stretch as some of the admins force random passwords on accounts.
I pull up his records and there's a few punctuation marks added in there but nothing too crazy. So I'm waking him through the different shift key combos to get the * and such.
I think I'm all done and then he asks me how to make the upside down exclaimation point. Thankfully he didn't try to fight about it when I told him it was a lowercase "i"
In my current job I've had a woman berate me because our wireless routers still need a power cord attached as "...they should be wireless if you're going to call them that"

A good example of this theory exists in the film Primer. I highly recommend you see it if you haven't already.

That's fine, I wasn't using it anyway.
