The DNA on the lighter matched DNA from the rape itself. The importance of the lighter is that it was sold during the time of the rape in that narrow area - placing the rapist as a resident of that area at the time, and giving high probability that a scan of all the residents would strongly indicate who the attacker was. If the lighter wasn't found, this search couldn't be justified as the rapist could come from anywhere.
So the killer put his lighter in her bag? Isn't it more likely that it was her lighter and she let someone else use it? In which case the 'narrow area' isn't significant, it just tells you where she got it, which apparently included the town where she lived. Not exactly a shocking clue.
So true. I remember when I was young and authors used to write books. Then the used book stores came along and now there are no more books. Will they never learn?
By the state's logic, if he hadn't been following so close, the accident wouldn't have happened. In reality, different vehicles have different stopping characteristics. In my car, I *can* stand on the brakes and make it stop on a dime (practiced in autocross racing). In my SUV, if someone stopped like that, they'd be be crushed. It's the difference between a performance sports car, and a truck.
So you recognize that different vehicles have different stopping characteristics... but are confused as how you could vary distance so as to prevent hitting the car in front of you when driving your SUV.
The fact that a teacher participated actively in one video will destroy any remaining chance they might have had.)
I'd be very worried if I were that teacher right now. They suspended a student.... who says they won't suspend the teacher who participated yet, to make an example of the teacher, emphasize their disapproval, and dig their head further into their Streissand-effect hole in the sand?
As slightly less proud Canadian I'd like to point out -
"Canadian Justice Department lawyer Diba Majzub argued that it didn’t matter U.S. prosecutors falsely portrayed Adekeye as a Nigerian scofflaw who was a flight risk. He filed three thick volumes of legal precedent and emphasized that only five times since the current Extradition Act was enacted in 1999 has a judge sought to stay proceedings because of abuse of process. A stay required extraordinary misconduct, he said."
So it seems our governments do in fact agree that what's good for Cisco is good for the nation(s).
'U.S. prosecutors acted outrageously'...
'The U.S. claimed'...
'U.S. prosecutors falsely portrayed'...
'left the U.S. in 2008 and was denied re-entry when he attempted to return to participate in the litigation'
So yes, I guess they really were Cisco's attorneys.
What if the after making the duplicate, we handed him a machete and told him to dispose of the original? Would you still not mind? Sure, he might not.. though I think I'd be a little uncomfortable with it, so what does that say about the both of you?
Well if it was really important why didn't they have someone teleport over to earth to tell people right away? Sending a signal they know will take a week when they could have travelled faster than the speed of light, or even just teleported a message over clearly indicates that they didn't want it solved. I question the lot of them, its clearly a conspiracy. All of them did it, case closed and it didn't take Poirot to solve it.
Wait I got one. A murder takes place in 1 week. A recording is made and sent back in time to police now. They go to 6 days in the future and interview the victim and suspects about the murder that takes place the next day but of course everyone denies any knowledge of it. They take the victim back to the present and give him to the coroner telling saying he's been dead for several hours, no matter what the victim might argue to the contrary. Now, did the victim die in a week, or during the autopsy?
1) You pay $40/month for an unlimited 10Mbps connection, but can only get 10Mbps at 2-4am in the morning. Other times, because of high network usage, you get an unstable connection that goes 3-5Mbps, or even slower during peak times.
2) You pay $40/month for a 10Mbps connection with a 100GB limit. Most of the time, your connection speed is around 10Mbps, but you just need to watch how much you download. There is a tool provided for you by the ISP to check your usage, updated daily.
You forgot an option:
3) You pay $40/month for a 10Mbps connection with a 40GB limit., but can only get 10Mbps at 2-4am in the morning. Other times, because of high network usage, you get an unstable connection that goes 3-5Mbps, or even slower during peak times.
The problem is you are starting with a questionable initial premise. You are equating total monthly usage with maximum use at any given moment. The two are not necessarily directly related.
There are bound to be certain times which are most heavily used, simply because those are times when people can be online using it. Sure a cap might make someone decide to forgo a download of a large game from Steam or their consoles online store when they could just pick up a copy instead. But when they are using the internet will still tend to be during those peak hours.
The degree to which it restricts use (a bad thing) will be greater than the amount it reduces congestion (a good thing). A large bad for small gain isn't a good trade.
To make the obligatory car analogy, if your town taxed its citizens based on monthly car mileage, would that be effective at cutting down on rush hour traffic? Or would people still drive to and from work, but just cut down on driving for non necessities? How would making the roads a ghostland at midnight help you get to work faster on monday morning?
The fact is most ISPs in Canada have put in caps in the last few years. The holdouts were the independents who piggyback on Bell and this decision as you seem to understand was really about trying to limit them by taking away the only thing they really had left to differentiate themselves with. So when you talk about the magic which will happen, sorry, if it was going to happen it would have already. It didn't.
I'd like to do the same test, only when I come back I'll take the jelly bean away and tell them I lied. Logically the smart kids will be the ones who didn't blindly trust authority, so I assume they will do better on IQ tests.
There are many things in this world that happen that cannot be readily explained. My wife was praying to God and asked him for a sign that she was doing the right thing. At that moment all the power int he house went out, and then came back on a minute later. I've been there 9 years and that is one of 2 times that we lsot power. Even if it was just coincidence, the odds against it happening right then, at that question, would be pretty staggering I think. (Especially since it was the only time she asked for a sign!).
So out of curiosity, have you tracked down the person who asked god for a sign that other time? Or do you think the odds of it happening at precisely that moment were for some reason higher?
It's illegal in this country to distribute this information. Amazon had a legal obligation to terminate their relationship with Wikileaks.
Which information is that? I haven't bothered to go to Wikileaks to see what they are distributing on their website, but I've read a lot of things from the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN etc detailing it. In fact weren't some of them given an advance viewing so they could be the first to tell us? It's funny that I never seem to read about how they have to stop distributing this stuff. Not even in the articles they write about how terrible it is to be distributing the stuff they are distributing.
I suspect it he's talking about 'looser', which I admit is my one all time personal spelling nazi trigger. A looser is someone who isn't quite as tight enough. Insults should always be spelled correctly.
Again, i'm presented with a meaningless statement concerning the relative risks of car travel vrs flying.
Please note: We do NOT choose travel methods based on mileage!!!! To say that air travel is markedly safer than by automobile is to ignore a simple fact: we choose the mode based on *time* to get there, NOT the distance!
I might choose a vacay travel time that is reasonable based on total available vacation time. A month in Australia from Boston is worth spending many hours in flight.
Death rates MUST be stated in 'deaths per hour in the conveyance' , not in fatalities per mile!
When i do see such figures, then i'll pay attention... but i assure you that the numbers will not be such as to make flying seen to be so enormously safe.
You're wrong. Clearly the number of deaths should be stated in terms of 'number of stops for fast food divided by restroom breaks'. Anything else is meaningless. I can assure you that using this method driving will turn out to be much safer.
Isn't 'time to get there' directly related to distance and speed at which you travel? The only time flying is slower is when you have to spend more time driving to and from the airport than to drive to your destination. So basically what you are saying is that if traveling 1000 miles by car you were more likely to die, it would be ok because... you got to spend more time in your car. Right?
The ghacks story that is linked to just cites engadget as a source... who don't mention *anything* about it "permanently modifying" the MicroSD cards, just that the manufacturers and microsoft are requiring that the cards are certified.
"Coincidentally, we appear to have fried a card after moving it in and out of our own Focus today to the point that no PC, phone, or camera can read it anymore, so this is definitely a real problem that needs a real solution."
"But what appears to have fried our card is the fact that any card inserted into a Windows Phone 7 device "will no longer be readable or writable on any other devices such as computers, cameras, printers, and so on" according to documentation on Samsung's site -- including, amazingly, the ability to format the card. That's hardcore, and it also explains why these guys are so skittish about external storage in general and why so few WP7 devices support it at this point."
When you say *anything* did you just mean in the title?
It's pretty clear from this that you are the sort of uptight and judgemental person who's never snorted coke off the ass of a rent boy while eating a bacon butter cheeseburger and enjoying a refreshing ice cold mountain dew. Clearly you need to learn to unwind.
No, they aren't. They released a properly redacted document, with all info that could be used by an identity thief properly covered up.
From the article you didn't read:
After considering LifeLock's request, we've decided to republish the PDF document in "Cracking LifeLock" as Chandler police had intended -- with the personal data blacked out.
Note the use of the prefix re on there. It means 'again'.
I'm aware. The point was that they are clearly related through the male line. The generations could be off by a bit of course like in your uncle's case, but that's not what you initially suggested Re the 'Re:Are they really related' above.

How did you go from no evidence "yesterday actually happened" to "evidence... someone named Jesus did exist"?
Lastly, I don't recall the last time someone said that actual violence was OK while video games are not.
So I guess they never made you play dodgeball in school.

a more practical but still bizarre way would be for Male A to mate with Female C until producing a daughter Female D, who would then mate with Male B.
You know you might be surprised how often the process you just described occurs.
If homosexually is genetic then by that same merit its also a biological imperfection and should be fixed (just as pedophilia and bestiality).
Hmm.
If being straight is genetic then by that same merit its also a biological imperfection and should be fixed (just as pedophilia and bestiality).
If being white is genetic then by that same merit its also a biological imperfection and should be fixed (just as pedophilia and bestiality).
I suspect your logical argument may have skipped an important step.

(ever notice how "anti-government protests" in pakistan have english placards ... When hardly anyone there even speaks English ...)
Of course that couldn't be because English is the official language used by the government:
"Punjabi 48%, Sindhi 12%, Siraiki (a Punjabi variant) 10%, Pashtu 8%, Urdu (official) 8%, Balochi 3%, Hindko 2%, Brahui 1%, English (official; lingua franca of Pakistani elite and most government ministries), Burushaski, and other 8%"
No, its probably done in order to make some American, somewhere, look bad somehow. Seriously, everything really is about you.
Wait. Did you just cite yourself as evidence to back up your claim?
