Why? Becasue what's going on for hours and hours beforehand is really dull, and forcing thousands of people to watch that would be a really dick thing to do. If you dig, you'll find that longer clips are available, but they don't actually add anything to the discussion other than "nothing happened to provoke the police".
If you're going to take a karma hit, it's because you're posting nonsense, and putting quotes around the police's brutal, unprovoked aggression doesn't make it something else or justify it. It does, however, make you look like an apologist, or secretly a member of the NYPD.
As for intending to provoke a police response, that's wrong on so many levels I'm not sure where to begin, other than to say you sound really paranoid. You could just as easily say, "in the thousands that are there, you can't say there aren't any police agent provocateurs."
I feel like a broken record. I want my peace officers looking into crimes, not chasing after me.
If you've got nothing to hide, there is no way you should consent to a search, because doing so would validate wasting the time of a peace officer - now they're hooked into chasing something that you know, for a fact, does not exist. Do you want to be known as the asshat who is wasting our tax dollars?
I totally agree with the unambiguous reply. Cops are masters at removing options from people, and they'll be vague or clear, whatever works. Practice saying this again and again: "I don't consent to a search because there is nothing to (find|hide)."
No, you don't tell them to fuck off. You tell them to come back with the proper paperwork from a judge proving that they are not engaging in a personal vendetta on company time.
Personally, I don't let cops search without a warrant because having nothing to hide means any reason they offer for inspection is false. If it's even remotely plausible, then they should try to gussy it up for a judge first. I've found that judges are, in general, adept at spotting shenanigans.
Please, practice saying this: "I object to your search because there is nothing to hide."
Nobody puts up with bad products anymore. Software is one of the last kind of products where it's still somewhat accepted
Judging from the evidence (Windows on damn near every PC sold), it's not somewhat expected, it's demanded. Microsoft has made a very successful business by defining 'beta testing' to mean 'ship it and see how many people sue us'.
There's no other explanation for his behaviour.
In Canada, the Supreme Court ruled last year that a newspaper reporting on slander or libel is not always necessarily guilty of libel itself, even if the defamatory statements themselves are published.
Since his case is about defamation, he's going to lose, and I expect the opinion (reserved since 7 Dec) to be a scathing chastisement indirectly aimed at his counsel.
As far as hyperlinking being publishing... what rot. No librarian would ever say the card index is the stacks, no cartographer would ever say the map is the territory.
No, we have not heard it all before. In particular, noone has yet provided a reason for supposedly honest and disciplined officers to protect dishonest or dickhead officers.

So some (at least, 25% of those with mod points) would say you are a success. Some days/. just confuses me. Like, I'm still confused about why you would want to even _appear_ to promote the aggrandizement of a brazen war criminal.
finally, someone advocating testing! unfortunately, it's a technical solution to a social problem. how do you say "we have a reasonable confidence that noone tampered with the machines (read: voting process) in last night's election"? the last election i voted in (municipal) the people tallying the votes knew that i (or anyone) could walk in and observe the process. if anyone yelled hanky panky, it was possible to completely reconstruct the original data set at a later date and answer the challenge.
the problem is not testing beforehand, but testing during the voting and after the voting, ie as the votes are being tallied. do you expect that even a small minority of the population could understand a runtime coredump/stack trace printout (a la MacsBug) even if they were available? the idea of counting votes marked on on artifacts and in the open is very hard to improve upon.
to the challenge of "but hey, storing the data in bits is an artifact!", i answer: look at the hard drive closest to you (may not be visible) and ask, how long is the warranty on it good for?

Lucky for you. Unfortunately, there are more than a few fonts where lowercase "L" (ASCII 0x6c) looks confusingly similar to the numeral "1" (ASCII 0x31). Ask yourself, 'What font is it that I am using that is removing ambiguity?' Then ask this question: 'What font is freaq using to view this page?'
I'm still looking for a readable monospaced font for windows that makes a clear distinction. Would make my life as a coding student a tiny bit easier.
No, no, no. It's not a matter of if you want to or not. If you do, there's a world of mathematicians who will tell you that what you are doing might not qualify as mathematics.
One is not prime. Prime means having exactly two divisors, one of which is one. Please find enclosed a snider definition and commentary.
(Yes, I took MATH 230, but no, I didn't pass. Sorry I couldn't hold on, Clive.)
Why would anyone want to innovate if not to profit
Because for a significant number of people, solving new problems is fun. Heck, even solving old problems in new ways is fun. [/me recalls re-creating Conway's Life game in HyperCard, without arrays] Step away from the hookah, drink some water, and go to bed.
This from your post: He's trying to avoid the war, even at this point.
So, ordering a military strike is part of trying to avoid a war? Back in the day, I could never get drugs so good. The correct spelling is 'Warmonger', or, more accurately, 'war criminal'. And no, I'm not going to hang myself.

What's so weird about preserving the carry bit for the next instruction? example: calculating a hash code
magicNum=(a1+a2+...+a99+a100) mod r1
adc seems almost ideally suited, especially if r1 = 256 (in all fairness, my instructors tell me that hash codes are generally implemented as multiplications, so this _could_ be a bit of a stretch!)

those folks' rhetoric is not restrained, but is, alas, rigorously backed up. the part about andrews air force base standing down is telling.
if true, it would not be the first time the US military has considered citizens expendable.
as far as removing rights - shiva h vishnu, where to begin?off the top of my head (this is slashdot after all!) try to tell me it is impossible for someone to accuse you of a crime. if such a bad fate should befall you, would you like the right to a trial? no? it is being denied to some, and once that started there's no reason to suppose you could not be next.
