  1. Re:yet if we did it on Deputy Who Fatally Struck Cyclist While Answering Email Will Face No Charges · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is not always true. We've had several local deputies here that were disciplined, suspended or fired for not obeying the law and in one case lying to investigators. Right up the road in the city of Warner Robins, Ga the police chief and one of his lieutenants were sent to prison for thinking they were above the law and could blackmail people. Too many people concentrate on these cases where justice failed and say that nothing "ever" happens but I know from personal experience that this is not so.

    A lot of pi's don't use a monitor but are run headless. They do however need a charger and an SD card.

    I'm surprised no one has simply cloned the pi and sold it cheaper. I guess the pi's price is as low as it's possible to get on this hardware, Broadcom must be just about giving away the hardware. When you think about what they've accomplished at this price point it's truly impressive.

  5. Re: Send in the drones! on Russian Military Forces Have Now Invaded Ukraine · · Score: 1

    Sheep don't fight wolves. If Putin decides to grab Ukraine no one will do anything to stop him. We'll whine and bitch and Germany and France will piss themselves. The fact is though that he will win through intimidation. Once the Ukranians finally figure out that no one is going to help them they will have to buckle. This is a European problem though. It's time for Europe to handle things on their own continent. All that money wasted on NATO. Enough already.

    What world are you living in? We don't have the stomach for that kind of war. It's one thing to go around blowing up towel heads and their goat pens but the Russians have real weapons. Oh I imagine if we pulled out all the stops and put everything into it we could win but the body bags will be stacked up high. I doubt we have the stomach for that kind of war just to save a Europe that doesn't have the balls to even declare real sanctions against Putin and company. I know I don't want to send my children to die over there for that shit.

    They'd roll right to the English Channel. What's to stop them? NATO? The entire scenario back in the 70's was to use tactical nukes to stop the Russians. I doubt that'll happen today, not with what we've got running the country nowadays. It's time to quit pretending we're going to do anything because this drawing a line and making deadlines just makes our government look stupid and weak. If we aren't going to do shit we shouldn't threaten to do anything. I say we let Germany and France handle it. I want to watch that! I know the Poles are about to shit a brick because they know they're next.

    It's Europe's problem. If they don't have a problem with Putin gobling up Eastern Europe then I don't either. I've had it with this world policeman shit. We've shed enough blood and pissed away enough trillions of dollars. Time to let someone else carry the load.

  9. Re:Obvious Reason on Why Women Have No Time For Wikipedia · · Score: 5, Funny

    With good reason. It's obvious by this that Wikipedia isn't doing enough to attract women to contribute. Such a small representation among women is shameful and certainly something must be done to address this glaring example of gender bias.

    Nah, the wars will come when resources get short and nations go to war to control what remains. When people get hungry and cold they become very dangerous.

    I remember when Washington University in St. Louis installed a new RAID server back in the early 90's. It had a capacity of 1 Terabyte and only cost them $100,000. I remember thinking that was an amazing capacity. Now I've got 7 terabytes of external storage on my desk and it's almost completely full. If you build it, they will fill it.

    Once upon a time they considered it criminal if you received money for copied goods. Just passing stuff to your friends was kind of winked at.

    Laws are bad. Lawlessness is worse, thus we have laws. The problem of course is that we've gone overboard. If God was fine with 10 laws why do we need billions of them?

  23. Re:If he sold phyiscal copies on 33 Months In Prison For Recording a Movie In a Theater · · Score: 1

    I think the real reason for jail time is that they tried to get him to stop and he just kept on with it. If he had quit it was probably only a slap on the wrist. He pissed them off and they showed him how bad it could get. I'd bet they could have gone farther if they had wanted to.

  24. Re:The real crime here on 33 Months In Prison For Recording a Movie In a Theater · · Score: 1

    In the end there's no point having laws you wont or can not enforce. Either they have to punish offenders or they need to get rid of the law. Obviously they chose punishment. I can't feel any pity for stupid and sometimes people have to be made an example of. It's not a matter of profit because obviously governments don't create profit. Quite the opposite actually.
