Perhaps the police should stop behaving in was that make non-criminals scared of them.
Perhaps.
...but lets not pretend that the reason you identify police on Waze exists for any other reason but to let other speeding drivers know to slow down until they pass the cop and speed back up to well above the speed limit. The feature isn't in Waze so that patriots can champion our civil rights; it's there so speeders can speed.
I'm OK with this, but...lets be honest in our discussions.
I was 8 when I stood in line with my family outside of the Cine Capri to watch Star Wars. I probably watched it 50 more times in the theaters over the next few years, mostly summer matinees. Eventually I got to watch it on ONTV - my family's first PPV of any sort - and then on 3rd generation Beta tapes after that. I still have the bedsheets somewhere:)
It's perfectly reasonable to have a position on a subject and still posses common sense.
It's obvious to pretty much everyone that a fleet of off-shore or H1B programmers bill cheaper to your customer than supplying them with actual citizens who can do the same job.
The lysine contingency is intended to prevent the spread of the animals in case they ever get off the island. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. The animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll slip into a coma and die.
While he certainly screwed up my after-Christmas plans, I'm not quite ready to have him test new lethal injection drugs in Florida yet...
An 18-year old non-violent offender should get an option to demonstrate the three R's of the criminal defense system. Remorse, recant, restitution.
He needs a felony charge (that matches his crimes) that, upon successful completion of jail/probation/community-service can be commuted to a misdemeanor.
Take a "clear cut" situation. During a border inspection a car is found heavily modified full of secret compartments. In the compartments the border agents discover a couple pounds of designer drugs, a Class-3/Tax Stamp worthy weapon of some sort, and $20,000 in cash.
What should they do with the X? What should they do with the machine gun? What should they do with the $20,000? What should they do with the car?
I'm not advocating any position here - just asking the question.
The idea that parents are unanimously treated like villains is overplayed. Anyone fucks with your parenting, and you're probably not going to report it as a good experience.
Having rased one child with sever emotional difficulties to adulthood, we've had a couple run-ins with CPS.
The 6'4 200# 15-year-old kid got in a pushing match with his 6'4 300# biological father outside the school. A teacher saw it and was obligated to report it. CPS talked to my wife in person and made a round of phone calls to everyone else involved including myself (stepdad). The person who called me asked some fairly simple questions about what our home-life was like, and satisfied we weren't alcoholic abusers, they closed their investigation with a finding of what I can only describe as "shit happens, but this isn't a problem."
Once I separated the emotion and nanny-state second-guessing of my parenting (in a situation I was barely involved with) from the reality of the situation, all we ended up having was a quick phone call with a woman who wanted to make sure our kid wasn't in any sort of direct harm.
So, no, I don't believe that parents are assumed to be villains until proven good.
You see, *this* would have been the Ripped from the Headlines story of the century.
I love, love, love this story. Murder for hire, drugs, computers, cryptocurrency, false identities, frame-ups, parallel construction. Oh man, I can't wait for the miniseries.
Charging at-risk people more for health insurance (myself included) doesn't sound outrageous at all. If I post to Facebook regularly about how I like to smoke cigarettes, my insurer should charge me the smoker rate.
I find this no different than car insurance companies who'll let you connect an ODB2/GPS device to your car in exchange for better rates if you drive slower, accelerate slower, brake smoother, etc.
So you're willing to sell off your privacy for a few bucks?
Parts of it, sure.
That's what you're doing if you didn't realize it.
Of course I realize what I'm giving up.
Same goes for any 'rewards club' type cards at retailers: You're giving them permission to gather personally identifiable data on you, for a few measly bucks. How does it feel knowing that there are complete strangers out there that think they know you because of the data they collect on you about purchasing habits?
It feels great sving money in exchange for something I place little value on. I DNFAG that Safeway knows I prefer Coke over Pepsi and that I buy the name-brand cheese that's on sale. I DNFAG that Facebook and Google buy this information and pair it with my driving habits and use it to try to feed me ads or sell it to other advertisers.
How will you feel about it when someone gets it wrong?
I won't care, no matter how outraged YOU get over it.
Why are people still using Facebook? Because other people are, and they use it as their medium to schedule events and coordinate activities.
90% of my Facebook activity is devoted to participation in a handful of secret/private groups, and the other 10% is responding to event invites -- some of which are "go, no-go," others are FCFS based on responses to the invites.
Also, I mostly DNGAF about Facebook (or Google, or whomever) knowing what flavor potato chip I prefer because I used my club card at the store. Google gave me $15.98 on their Opinion Rewards platform for knowing even MORE about me. Whee!

They could have the entire thing built...except that pesky Plutonium-239
I assume you're kidding, I'm missing it, and the WHOOSH! sound is about to happen, but...
Lambda Lambda Lambda, or "LLL" as the name for the black fraternity was simply a play on the KKK name for the Klan.
Great quote. :) Offtopic follows.
As much as I loved Joshua Malina, Rob Lowe was fantastic as Sam Seaborn.
This was probably due to Sorkin and Schlamme checking out for season 5 though. Malina could have had better dialog if Sorkin had written any of it...
Be Kind: Rewind.
Boston may have been hit somewhat, but further South — NYC and Philadelphia — the snowfall was rather underwhelming.
Further South conceptually? Ideologically? Along a timeline?

Windows? Use Security Essentials and practice safe surfing. No need for anything else.
This.

Anything else that uses Flash is better served with an app.
While that might be true, everything that uses flash hasn't been converted to an app just quite yet.

Oh man, you guys really got me with this swatting at my house.
Wait, what?

More interestingly, I wonder how many perfectly good terrorist emails I've deleted from my spam folder.
Yeah, it'd be like using Latin for scientific terminology today.
WUT?
You can buy 2013 in non-subscription, non-365 versions.
