The argument you make is a rebuttal to an argument that I did not make. I did not say the police were employees of each citizen, I said they were servants of the public.
A boss can record people who work for them in the workplace.
It follows that the people (who the police protect and serve) can record police (who often forget who they ultimately work for) in their workplace (the public).
Too high for a regular helecopter, but you could easily design one that would get to Everest easily. You'd basically need the powerful jet engines driving a larger than usual rotor. Not difficult really.
NASA is even looking at helecopters for Mars because the thin atmosphere makes fixed wing aircraft difficult to design. Flying fixed wing on Mars is easy, but the problem is that the speed of sound is very slow in the thin air. And, because the air is thin, you've got to fly fast to generate lift. This means that on Mars you end up landing your plane at higher than Mach 1, a difficult proposition. A helecopter just needs a large rotor spun very fast, and you don't have to land with such a large horizontal speed.
I think they're run by different people, though they are owned by the same guy. Both make the owner money.
Conservative morality isn't about what they say it's about. It's about strength and winning. Strong people who win are moral people. Evidence of strength is money, and Murdoch earns a lot with both Fox News and the Fox TV Network. Thus, Murdoch is a good person according to the Conservative morality.
The moralizing that conservatives do concerning sex and drugs is because they think those things harm discipline, which harms strength and winning. Murdoch is rich, thus he's a disciplined winner not a undisciplined slacker, thus he's a good man.
When considering the two facts together - Murdoch is RICH and puts sleazy programming on his TV station - conservatives put the evidence of Murdoch's strength and discipline (his money) on a higher level than other considerations. If "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire" causes someone moral harm, the rich guy isn't at fault, because you can't be rich without being disciplined and a winner, and therefore good. It must be the other (poor) guy who watches crappy programming who's at fault. If the poor guy was strong and disciplined, he'd avoid watching FOX TV and be rich too.
I've gone over the basic ideas which enable this analysis extensively in my journal entries. Some of my journal entries are just about baiting Pudge. The others advance a moral/metaphorical model of political rhetoric.
You imagine that the scientists fuck around and lie about their side, and your imagination gives you license to actually fuck around and lie on your side.
Open your eyes and you'll find out that it's not both sides that are making shit up. It's one side telling the truth, and one side lying.
I had to translate that into French, which has a committee that determines what words mean. Unlike whatever language you speak, French changes far more slowly. They informed me that the current specific meaning of the sentence you wrote as "Words don't have intrinsic meaning, Randroid." is rendered into French as this:
"Profane MuthaFucka, I love to guzzle your cum all day long. I let it drizzle down my chin and use my fingers to push it back into my mouth, savoring its taste which is something between egg yolk and tabasco sauce."
That's the difficulty of claiming that words don't mean anything, and definitions can be ignored because the language is fluid. You don't seem to realize that the language you are apparently using is SO fluid that as you were typing your sentence, the meanings of the words shifted to something which I find tremendously erotic.
True, but there are two factors here. One, the usage of the word traditional refers to the 11 icons on the screen, as if this is the way it always is, handed down from the earlier phones. Two, the iPhone hasn't been handed down yet. Traditions are handed down from earlier generations. Maybe on June 30th it could be considered handed down, but it's not even released yet.
However, there is an odd shot in the newly released "How- To" iPhone ad, where the screen goes from the traditional 11 icon view, to a new 12 icon view. (See below).
It's a pet peeve of mine that people use the word "traditional" for things which were invented very very recently. Traditional things are generational things, handed down from one generation to another. You can't make it artificially, and you can't make it quickly.
Reminds me of this brand new Irish Pub that just opened up down the road from me. As I am an alcoholic, I was right there belly to the bar on the SECOND day they were open. I was amazed to see that all the walls of the brand new bar were full of photographs of customers having good times with their friends, in this friendly neighborhood establishment. Amusingly, for a neighborhood bar, it was surprisingly inaccessible. You couldn't really walk to it, as there were no sidewalks, just rows and rows of parking spots. I wouldn't want to walk there anyway, because the traffic from the Bed Bath and Beyond next door is crazy.
So, these photos were all over the walls of this pub, showing hundreds of people having an amazingly good time. I was really jealous of those people who showed up at this brand new bar, on the first day it was open. They were the lucky ones, having had the opportunity to both create tradition, and have a good time doing it too. But still, it was a good feeling to see that my neighborhood bar had created in just one day what some pubs in Ireland are apparently still working on after 300 years or more.
I think that the new Irish bar next door really captured the tradition which my neighborhood strip mall holds in such high regard. I'm not sure that these little icons on a phone can measure up to that.

A little time, a few donations, and this researcher can afford to travel.
Punishments fitting the crime would be justice, and we can't have any of that. Too hard. Much easier to just kill everyone who steals bread or worse.
The most complex machines ever built are computer programs.

That would risk a counter suit for misusing the EULA. The EULA is a license, not a means of suicide.
When Scotty beamed down to the planet with the Greek God, he had to sit back and let his girlfriend get boned BY A GOD.
OMG you just pinged the entire Internet!
Who? I'm not sure what you're talking about. Does he work for NASA or a research organization?
I really do believe that, and I'm smarter than any three members of your family combined. Including the colon.

How about we agree that you are a moron? Word mean things, fool.

That's the exact same pet peeve that I have. Some people never heard of a dictionary.

Hey you AK-47 nuts out there:
Don't forget to pay your $699 licensing fee, you cock smoking tea baggers.
In Soviet Russia, AK-47 smokes YOUR tea bags.
I find it less trouble to simply piss in the sink.
Plus, if you're cooking dinner you don't have to walk all the way to the bathroom where you see if the macaroni and hot dogs are burning.
Thatcher. She can dislodge my Argentinians any day.
Actually, dictating the basis by which people make their decisions sounds like an even worse idea.
Actually, I wrote that. It didn't write itself.
I have not actually seen any cracks, but would not object to Starbucks crack, or especially Madame President's crack. She's a PILF. P=President.
