    It's been going on a looooong time. Bloodhounds chasing convicts and other handy uses. Dogs are nifty for police work.

    It's not like it matters. No one gives a shit anyway. As long as he's small potatos he can rant his drivel all he wants. It's like a fart in the wind. Only a tiny percentage of the people in this country want to be free.

    I also smell the bullshit. I remember watching a USAF security specialist with a "drug" dog. He walked down the bay with the dog trotting beside him, stopped at a door and bounce a rubber ball off the door. The dog began to bark and scratch at the door. The CQ opened the door and they searched the lockers finding a bag of pot. Imagine that. That's when I realised that someone narced and the dog was for looks so no one would suspect.

    Just another lying politician. They come in both Republican and Democrat flavors. It's almost like there was only one party and all the supposed differences were just smoke and mirrors designed to confuse the public.

    I totally agree. Why are we paying salaries to a rubber stamp board? Useless as tits on a boar they are. It's not like anyone ever doubted the outcome of this. Nothing like having a government agency to oversee the government agency that oversees the government agency that oversees government agencies. No wonder the country is in debt. The only government agency to call out the NSA has been a few various courts. Not much of that either. It's cool as long as they're after terrorists but when they start going after political opposition groups or start redifining who a terrorist is.....oh wait!

  9. Re:OR on Unintended Consequences For Traffic Safety Feature · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows not to run over pedestrians. It doesn't matter if they walk when it says not to or if they cross where there is not a crosswalk or almost any reason at all. If there is any way possible to avoid hitting them then you don't hit them otherwise you are to blame. The same for people on bicycles. I always watch out for them because for some reason they are suicidal. It's gotten to the point I'll putt along behind them until I get a lane clear to pass. Nothing like doing 15 in a 55 zone.

    A hundred thousand years of ice core samples? Don't scientists claim the earth is over 2 billion years old? I don't doubt the earth is getting warmer and undoubtably man has contributed to that warming. How much contribution may be debatable but what is not debatable is that the earth has been far hotter than it is now. The problem is that we have a group of people who have made up their minds that humanity is destroying the world's climate and that this must be stopped at all costs and they are willing to go to any length whatsoever to further their aims. There is another group that is more afraid of these people than they are of the average global temperature climbing another 10 degrees farenheit in the next century. The first threat is here now and drastic while the second threat is mostly in the future and gradual. The strident howling and shrieking of the climate change gurus is more feared by many than climate change itself.

    I wouldn't sweat it too much. Given the insanity of world governments (and their citizens) and the continued proliferation of nuclear arms I forsee an intense cooling period coming. A nuclear winter preceded by a drastic population reduction. That should solve the problem of global warming nicely. So quit worrying so much.

    The point was that Adobe has no plans currently to change because of Aperture's availability as a competitor. That could well change in which case Adobe will of course switch to a more lucrative (for them) plan.
