If you read the link provided, you'll see that none of the officers involved in that execution style murder were charged due to "insufficient evidence" despite the fact that the driver of the train witnessed the event firsthand. Those murderers are still out there 'protecting' London. Sure, that's nothing compared to the FBI firebombing an entire city block, killing 4 children, 7 adults, and leaving 240 people homeless... but, that doesn't make the tube shooting okay.
And yet another idiot AC that doesn't know the difference between the presumption of innocence and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The accused is always supposed to be presumed innocent in the US. You are not presumed guilty in civil cases, the bar is simply lowered in proving accusations. You cannot file a complaint, provide no evidence to support that claim, and win in civil court.
Is this what America has come to? Wasn't it supposed to be innocent until proven guilty? Now, not only are you considered "probably guilty" from the start of the case, but in order to prove myself innocent, I must produce someone else who can go to jail? Let the witch hunting commence. Coming soon to a court near you: Sued by the RIAA for running open wi-fi when it's obvious they have no evidence to sue you.
The media companies have enough money to change anyone's attitude toward copyright reform.
I am aware, but at the moment, it's still GREAT news. Boucher has a pretty lengthy track record favoring the people over Hollywood. Berman on the other hand is the frickin' devil. Really, he's the anti-christ and Orin Hatch is Satan. Just getting Berman out of there is a huge victory! The only thing that could be better would be finding him under an anvil.... but to replace him with Boucher?!? That's a dream come true. I'm still skeptical... "they" won't let Boucher in there... we could never get that lucky.
Not happy with how your union is run - then you should volunteer to lead it or run for union office.
Don't like the way the country is being run? Then you should run for president.... I've never been in a union, but your 'solution' sounds like nothing of the sort.
Or tag? Or t-ball? Why should video games be held to such a standard? I guess she figures if her kid is going to be a nerd, the kid should at least be the smart kind of nerd... Perhaps a bad rep on the part of video gamers rather than the games themselves?
a lot of 18 and 19 year old students don't have great judgement on things like shoot / no shoot decisionmaking.
Is that not why we have educational institutions? After all, men and women that age are shooting people in Iraq daily. Are you suggesting we raise the minimum age requirement to join the military?
And the law in the US prohibits handguns from anyone under 21 anyways
Without arguing the unconstitutionality of that law, allow me to point out that long arms are still available to students even if hand guns are not.
It has nothing to do with "tracking everyone" and everything to do with crime. We have cameras on the parking lots because we kept having "neighbors" from the black-dominated slums nearby breaking into cars and carjacking people, and so they now have someone watching to dispatch a cop to a problem spot 24/7.
So, what you're saying is there are no cameras in the white-dominated slums then?
We have cameras on buildings leading to classrooms, and even a few IN classrooms, because of people committing rapes and getting into fights.
If you're putting cameras IN the classroom, perhaps you should instead take a closer look at your admissions office. Certainly they wouldn't be looking the other way just to get those massive federal subsidies per student enrolled...
Frankly, i'd rather have a bunch of rich people complaining about paying taxes so that poor kids can get educated than a bunch of rich people complaining because they were repeatedly mobbed by beggars just outside their door.
Who says you can't have both? A college education is a pretty worthless piece of paper these days.
Spare me your sarcasm... $500/yr is quite a bit more than his $200/yr PC expenditure, but I'm sure I could do that on the consumer end of Apple's product spectrum. Time is a priority for me, so a faster laptop is worth the extra money. If your time isn't a priority for you, feel free to buy slower hardware and save your money for something else.
When the laptop starts at $2000 and has the same upgrade cycle, that's when baby jebus starts crying.
Macs last longer and have far better resale value. It costs me about $500/yr to stay in a high end Apple laptop. That's two trips to Pizza Hut a month. Easily worth it.
Batteries, yes. Vista, WTF?? Stock price, split already! Add to that, downgrades in Leopard, like the loss of airtunes in frontrow, the loss of file system menus in the dock, and how they borked previews in finder column views to force quicklook on you. Also, the inability to sync iTunes libraries on multiple macs is extremely annoying. If you can sync with AppleTV, why can't you sync with a Mini? Does RIAA cock taste that good Apple? Oh, and WTF is up with no airtunes audio jack on the new time capsule? Who missed that one? Other gripes, still no iPhone SDK, glass iPhone that's *going* to break, and phone software that's three years behind the rest of the industry with regards to MMS, camera, java, flash, etc and so forth...
1 cubic foot of sea water evaporates it yields about 2.2 pounds of salt, but 1 cubic foot of fresh water from Lake Michigan contains only one one-hundredth (0.01) of a pound of salt, or about one sixth of an ounce. Thus, sea water is 220 times saltier than the fresh lake water.
Maybe it's just me, but I thought the summary explained why they think that.
Maybe it's just me, but I thought the summary included false logic. The summary made no mention why a younger surface excluded the possibility that the rings were exactly the same age scientists previously thought they were. It only opens the door to the possibility of older rings.
I keep wondering, why do we need to charge the spammers with anti-spam laws.
Because otherwise, you couldn't get slashbots to support the destruction of the first amendment. It sounds a little like, "Won't someone please think of the children^W spam!!!" Yes, we need to stop the email scammers/phishers/trojans, we need to stop people peddling deadly/addictive drugs via email, we need to stop the email pump and dump scam artists.... We don't need to make it illegal to send an email message to 20 million people just because you don't know them.
By the time AT&T builds out their network for 3G, Apple will be ready to use it.
That is soooo not Apple's style. Apple hardware sells because Apple sells the high end goods. My four year old Powerbook had gigabit ethernet. I never used it, but I appreciated the fact that it was there. My dippy little performa 6360 had SCSI... Only higher end PCs had SCSI, but there it was on the consumer Mac 10 years ago. Apple hardware always shares one characteristic. WAAAAAAAY overbuilt, and we LIKE it that way. iPhone 1.0? Apple clearly lost focus on great hardware there. Crappy camera with no flash, no 3G, retarded recessed audio only headphone jack, one pitiful speaker, crippled useless bluetooth...
I'll wait for a real SDK and iPhone 2.0. The original iPhone is pretty, overpriced, and useless.

In the UK, there aren't armed thugs with police badges randomly shooting people. That's what *I* call a violation of human rights.
Excuse me?

According to the gubmint So that's $1.48 a gallon of gas. I haven't seen that price on gas in a loooooooong time.

Lots of cars blaring gangsta rap, lots of gang activity, lots of drug deals, lots of problems.
The term slum would have sufficed as crime is highly correlated with poverty, not skin color.
The administration is afraid of Jesse Jackson showing up and having another "march."
*sigh*
Yeah! Allow a bunch of young adults (many of whom partake of alcohol and other mind-altering substances on a regular basis) easy access to firearms!
Yeah! It's called the US military. Wanker.

What's "borked" about the preview in column mode?
The lack of a quicktime control bar.
They use better processors

otherwise you might as well let Marion Jones back in with a terminator suit and a jet-pack.
(>_<;) As soon as I get done sawing my legs off, where do I find a couple of those thing?
The net co2 added to the atmosphere in a year is zero
No, it isn't. I've explained this before. I'm not going over it again. Not only are you oxidizing tomorrow's fossil fuel today, you're widening the dead zone in the gulf of Mexico.
It would have been hypocritical for our founders to then limit recognized human rights to citizens only.
Yet, they decided slaves weren't people. Nope, not hypocritical at all.
21 Million? That's it??? Who defines how much the copyright is worth? That's like two movies on Bittorent according to the MPAA.

Yes, just like Lake Michigan.
