Why should it have to be fair? if one segment of the population just happens to commit and get caught more often, thats just how it is. There isn't some hidden agenda or magic happening.
If they want fair, they can stop committing crimes..
Now, i fully agree there might be individual officers that improperly profile ( and don't forget some profiling is more then proper ), but the overall system does not.
Ok, continuing with your unprovable premise, perhaps the blacks are just not as smart and tend to get caught more?
Anyone that sees the 'lopsided' amount of black people in prison compared to white really needs their head examined. There is no sinister conspiracy involved here, its just how the chips are falling, for whatever reason.
Older machines are often built better than newer faster stuff.
Cite please. All of my equipment has only become more reliable with each generation.
You will find many that disagree with that statement. I have seen very little improvement in reliability over the years.
What is happening is that things are swapped out so fast now to keep up with the perpetual upgrade-treadmill they don't have a chance to break down. But keep them around a while past their warranty, and they go up in smoke. While my apple II still is chugging away with not one failed component.
This time they did it with good product and beat out the competition, unlike the underhanded and illegal tricks they used to topple Atari back in the old days.
I still don't like them a bit due to the past however.
What country do you live in where votes actually count?
Sure you can get a person elected with votes, but its the $ and promises of power that gives them their marching orders once in office. ANd its got nothing to do with you and your vote. ( unless you happen to be a billionaire and are contributing to the campaign )
Taking his PC i think was a bit overboard unless they had hard evidence that some crime was committed with the PC. The judge should never have permitted that warrant to go thru.
Collecting the public posts of images off myspace was more then justified however.
Could have gone both ways, depending on the pictures.
If they were of him serving meals at the local homeless shelter or rescuing trapped animals during a flood, it would have worked for the defense instead.
If the viewing was intentional they possessed the bits and thus the 'object', since this society currently believes in legal IP rights.. Doesn't matter if it was 'shredded' afterwards, the intent was still there and the crime was still committed. Might be hard to prove it was viewed however.
if it was a 'walk by' ( to use your 'storefront analogy " or 'non requested popup', then you might have a case, but ive heard that even just holding the picture unintentionally in your hand could be considered a crime.. Which i think is ludicrous. But then again, holding a joint, even if my accident is jail-able so there is some sort of twisted correlation.

Look at the numbers. Its true. Ad i believe it 100%.
And i stand beside my statement that perhaps a few individuals don't play by the rules, but the *system* operates as it should.
Tell that to starbucks, for example, as they are now closing stores.
If you think it says i'm bigoted, you didn't understand my signature in the slightest..

As an economy tanks, 'discretionary entertainment' funds is the first to go.

FreeBSD would do better for you on lesser hardware. It tends to be more efficient.
Every mac?
The IIVX sitting behind me doesn't, for example.
So what if its higher elsewhere, that is their problem. If they don't work to reduce their costs, they are fools.
That sort of analogy/attitude is why people gravitate to socialism.
No, i dont hide behind the anonymous label as many do. I stand up for what i believe.
Even when im unfairly moderated as a troll :)
Ya, i have the same question as unless they are hot i don't think they exist.
I never forgive. So sue me.
Its got a networking stack, GUI's, HTML Browsers, VNC...

But if no one can afford the gas here soon who is going to care?
Sure, safety IS important, but id rather see the billions poured into increasing fuel efficiency ( or ditching fossil fuels totally ) first.
No i haven't, why should i? I don't have the free time to donate my physical help, so I donate my $.
My point was taking pictures of good deeds, and what was yours?
As could the files on said computer be faked in this world of viruses and trojans.
Most Americans today don't have the guts for PlanB.
And without a lot of support from 'the people', the ones that are prepared and have the guts are doomed to fail.
Well, that is by design you know, cant have the serfs getting actual political power.

So yes, the topic title is spot-on.
What does that statement have to do with an attorney using publicly posted images in a legal case, which is what the story is actually about?
Or are you just hung up on being a racist?
