I don't think it's up to us to determine if he's innocent. I say let this go to court. There were plenty of eyewitnesses that can testify as to how the incident escalated. Personally I think that whether he was being uncooperative or not, unless he was trying to break out of a hold or threatening violence there was no reason to taze him. But yeah, let's see this one go to a proper investigation.
So if he was just laying there being a passive resistor, why then did the cops not just carry him out? How many cops were there? Certainly enough to carry out one scrawny college student. He didn't deserve to get tased once, let alone multiple times even if he was being an asshole.
eh, I don't think the terminology implies intelligence behind the hiding at all. The sun becomes "hidden" behind the moon during a solar eclipse, but that doesn't mean someone put the moon there. I think the only intelligence implied is that of the observer so.. oh wait, you have a point. Yes, no intelligent life here.
I was somewhat skeptical of this so I looked it up in the OED:
[1668 J. HANCOCK Brooks' String of Pearls (Notice at end), Some dishonest Booksellers, called Land-Pirats, who make it their practise to steal Impressions of other mens Copies.]
So yeah, it does appear to be a very old use of the term in this way. Neat.
I used to work at a used CD/record/etc store. One application we got in, in the section for "Have you ever been convicted of X type of crime?" The person had written in "Yeah, possesion with intent to distribute marijuana. Btw do you guys need any?"
So yes, make sure and ask if any additional skills and or resources you may have access to will be applicable to the job.
How about "If it's not broke don't fix it?" That seems like a good excuse to not bother. The pain in the ass that this would be for me would not be worth the small amount of (if any) advantage.

I think that rule is invalid when the original post brings up death camps.
That reminds me of something... I think it was George Carlin, though I hesitate to say that since so much stuff gets attributed to him.. anyway his idea was that all cars should come equipped with a suction dart shooter, and all the darts would have a little "Asshole" flag. So if someone cuts you off in traffic, or otherwise drives like an asshole, you shoot them with your dart, so everyone knows about it. Then if anyone accumulates 3 or more darts, it's open season on them: you're free to run them off the road, ram them, shoot at them, whatever. Anyway, I was amused.
Ain't that the truth? I used to work at a smallish used CD chain, and the manager at the store I was at was a huge scammer. He would regularly take stacks of CD's out of inventory, take them home, presumably rip them, and then bring them back in and sell them back to the store as if they were his. Sometimes he would sell them to other places. The best part is that he was also a complete dick to his employees: the final straw was after he claimed I was "stealing store resources" by reading Slashdot before opening one morning. No joke. So I quit.

sheesh. With an attitude like that you're right, we won't ever find life.
Had I mod points, you would get them.
Nice Hyperion reference. My favorite series ever!

eh, I think most of the viral marketing didn't really kick in until after the series had been cancelled.

hot? Really? I dunno... The white model's hairdo is a little too.. Billy Idol circa 1984 for me.
I think we ought to analyze Charlie Brown's skeleton, and determine what he actually sounded like.
I also call your bluff on you owning a time machine.
Well, yeah. Obviously, if he had one of those he would have made a first post.
yeah I'm going to have to disagree here. I know plenty of Literature Geeks and Music Geeks, Linguistics geeks, librarian geeks, etc etc etc.
are those video cards pretty comparable? I can't really tell. I suppose I could go look up some benchmarks, but I'm lazy.

I ran into this a while back, and have since used JHymn to strip that crap off of all my files, and haven't bought an iTune since
seriously. Where I come from screen doors are for keeping out mosquitos.
well, *you* don't have to remove the disk. That's what minions are for!
what would you call lack of caring whether there is a God or not?
That's been Snopes'ed.

I can't say anything about the Superman stuff, but the "super water" you're thinking of may be Ice-9 from Cat's Cradle (by Kurt Vonnegut)
