In some states it's illegal to refuse to show ID to the police. Washington was at one point one of those laws until the state supreme court overturned the law declaring it unconstitutional.
That is the link to send them an email about "privacy". I am sending them an email outlining that if the details are true as they are being presented that I am shocked and embarrassed that REI loss prevention would help with this.
I am an REI member and I shop at the downtown Seattle location often. I am providing them with my membership number and I hope to hear back from them. As a coop they really don't have any interesting in pissing off their members so we will see how this goes.
At the same time if it is false then this guy is accusing them of something false. I am however inclined to believe him.
Also recently I looked up some of the laws around this completely unrelated to this. In Washington state there was once a law requiring a citizen to present ID to a police officer without a crime being committed. Refusing to show ID was a crime itself. This law was struck down as unconstitutional by the WA state supreme court. If there really was no law being broken it is not obstruction to not present ID, the court was very clear about that.
You are right that fans and power supplies usually go first. I personally use a little bit of an overpowered power supply so it runs cooler and more stable.
Also I think the more general concern I have is that possibly planning for a 15 year lifespan might be the wrong way of looking into this. It is always much better to have a flexible upgrade and repair plan than try and force something to last much longer than it is intended. Make no mistake that consumer hardware is not intended to last 15 years.
I would much rather look at something like software of a data base that can upgrade smoothly in the future.
The Thai King has very little real power but he yields immense moral authority and is very popular.
According to whom? My understanding is thew king claims a 100% rate of adoring followers yet this is backed up by the force of law. It is illegal to speak anything negative about the king so of course he is "universally adored". It's all a bunch of crap to anyone in America anyway. I am quick to accuse my own government of being corrupt and suppressing dissent but this goes to show that we in America don't have it the worst by a long shot. It puts it all in perspective.
I think you are worrying about self driving too much. Self driving cars are not simply going to blindly following a path only to have a tiny nudge throw off everything. They will be constantly aware of their surroundings and be making sure they are on course. Arguably we have the AI to do this today or very soon it just has not been implemented into a car.
I think the lawyer is looking for the guy to say "oh man I am about to sit the pants off this sucker and go retire somewhere nice." I don't think they are going to try and decide how bad he REALLY felt based on what emoticons he used.
You think the individual soldier is supporting dictators? Of course not, they are simply completing their mission on the ground that in turn may end up helping a dictator but that was all setup way above their head and they have no control over some of the long term effects of their actions are. That's why we have a representative government. I guess you are the one propping up dictators after all since you are responsible for the leaders in our own government.
This is such a misunderstanding of alcohol related injuries I am not sure how to get through to you. I can however start explaining. Alcohol related crashes are almost never when a drunk person cannot stay on the road and goes off and hits something/someone. It is almost always a situation that might have caused a sober person to crash but definitely will cause a drunk person to crash. Someone not seeing the drunk driver or the other way around. All kinds of other risks are involved here and alcohol is just the one that seals the deal.
One of the big reasons we have so many alcohol related crashes is because people get up to somewhere above the legal limit but they say "hey the law doesn't know wtf they are talking about, I'm fine to drive". Then once they get home they don't trust the limits at all. Eventually someone is going to get hurt doing that and in your entire life it may never be you. It's when people think they are the exception that things really start to get dangerous.
Even if a stack of DVDs and a hard drive were the exact same price per gigabyte you would still want to have the hard drive. The hard drive offers considerable more value than a stack of DVDs that cannot the average seek time of any random data is about a minute as you have to find the disc, load the disc, and so on.
As it stands now if you want to backup large chunks of data such as an entire HD then you should not be going with DVDs. If you want to backup DVDs or small files then DVDs are fine.
Could you inject some type of padding or filler in to make the data appear less evenly distributed when in reality the filler simply follows some pattern that can be easily removed later? I know this is not going to actually make it more secure but it could obfuscate the fact that the data exists.
USA could not make money out of nowhere so spending money will only require savings in other area or increase in taxes or deflation, each of which will make the situation worse.
Are you high? The US government can and does "make money" out of thin air. They print off more money which does water down the value of existing money (inflation). You don't have to save in some area or tax more to have more money. The problem with printing off more money is that it benefits the government as they get more money to spend while hurting the people who currently have money such as the citizens. Most governments have an interesting in some rate of inflation because it reduced the true value of their national debt. The government is trying to do themselves a favor by printing off more money so they can spend their way out of problems and pay off their debt at the same time.
Ya this is the right way to think about it. They need to basically pay some lump sum for the past time you spent if they are going to close it down and take all your rights away. Dont let them make you think you earned the right to work for them with your past work.
That is the way of the religion, not the way of the institutions based on the religion. Remember that the catholic church is a distinct phenomenon from the christian religion. Unfortunatly this is not really abotu religion. It is about the biological need to associate an "us" and "them" and to fight against "them". This is a deep rooted piece of our psychology that has served us well but it makes us identify with people over religious lines that we probably would not otherwise like,
When its fuel pump went out two years later, I bought a used 1974 Pontiac Le Mans; a big, roomy, comfortable car with a 350 cubic inch V-8 engine. Someone had milled the heads, put a four barrel carburator and a dual exhaust on it. It hauled ass when I stomped the accellerator, and as long as I kept the big back two barrells from opening I could get 19 mpg on the highway with its mandatory 55 MPH speed limit.
So you are making an arguement based on the fact that you drove your V-8 always under 55mph and we are supposed to believe you? This one one problem with car efficiency, under the best circumstances its horrible. Under real life scenarios of speeding and excessive braking it gets even worse.
Nuclear bombs and missiles are an existential threat to humanity. Chloride dispersing rockets are an atrocious chemical weapon but there are not on the same level of danger.
The demographic is not huge but they are an important minority because they will enthusiasticly jump on the church bus at polling time.
You are not from America so i will excuse your ignornace. Even in ultra liberal Seattle i see lots of crazy religious nuts. I have also been to the south and its ever more prevalent there. The religious base is not a minority at all.

The odds are that we will never know the truth. If we do, there will always be some doubt.
Unfortunately this is something people can count on often. Corrupt officials use this as the perfect getaway. Not that i know what really happened here, i just want to comment on how often something ends like that.
Otherwise they would still be throwing Jews, Gipsies, and homos into the gas chambers. After all, the law is the law, and it must be obeyed!
Nice use of slurs yourself there. I realize this is flameBAIT but i just want to point out how much you have in common with those you hate. Hate begets hate, whatever nationalism or racism leads you to hating German people is the same thing that lead to the atrocities of a short period of German history.
You can get up to 15mb/sec on DSL these days as long as you are within range. I realize that doesn't apply to everyone but many people can get it and dont even know about it. A lot of people dont realize that FIOS may go to 20mbit but if you get a good ISP like speakeasy you can go to 15mbit without any port blocking or throttling.
A bit of advice: girls will think you're totally hot if you show them your home, and it's not your mom's basement. They'd like a ride in your car, not your best friend's. They're more interested in guys that can hold a Jorb.
You just don't get it do you? Women are not generally not interested in your money. Your money is mostly just a sign of what kind of a person you are. If you are a self made man that is a good thing. Sure you might keep women around beause of your money but they won't actually like you. Thats probably why i have been sleeping with your wife for some time now even though i ride a bicycle everywhere and she picks me up in your car while you are at work. Have fun with the Jorb.

Ouch it hurts to remind me. So our ratio was $200 billion for how many thousand homes connected? Oh wait that was a big fat zero, nevermind.
