    Stealing someone else's technology and creating a better selling product with it? Microsoft practically invented the concept.

    I guess that depends on what your definition of "better" is.

    sounds like a form ready to be abused by spambots. I'd assume this is the reason you rarely see 'send me a copy' checkboxes.
    Exactly. Your form would get hammered by spambots, and it would get traced to your company. Their spamvert tacked on the end of the "official" email sent from your company's webserver. Nice.

    No - you don't get the point of the thread, because you continue to bring up a point that you've been repeatedly told doesn't matter.
    Just because I simply do not agree that it doesn't matter, doesn't mean I don't get the point of the thread. Gee, learn some logic. Context is very important. I'm not debating this any further.

    How did he get on the ground in the first place? Various other reports clearly show that he resisted arrest right up until after the events in the video. Why did they need to get him on the ground if he was so willing to co-operate? Nah, instead of complying he chose to leg it and resist their efforts to cuff him.

    > Because the cops were not allowing him to roll over so they could cuff him.

    I am sure they gave him a chance to be cuffed while he was still standing up, prior to him resisting arrest and doing a runner. Tell me, why is he on the ground in the video? Cops don't tackle and wrestle people who are complying.

    At the time the video begins, the guy is restrained. He has a cop kneeling on his neck, and a cop sitting on his thighs. He is not moving.
    Wrong! He would not let the officers cuff him until after his friends told him to quit fighting. Now tell me, did you see cuffs on him in the video? No! Now tell me this, did you see cops attempting to get cuffs on him in the video? Yes! Were the cuffs actually on him during the video? No! Why not? Because he was resisting arrest! Duh!

    > > Don't be ridiculous. If you've been fighting someone to restrain them, then that person is a violent attacker.
    >
    > And once they STOP MOVING, they are NO LONGER an attacker. < remaining crap deleted >

    Well he hadn't stopped moving. From other news articles, he only stopped resisting arrest when his friends told him to stop fighting. Only then, could they actually cuff him. He had actually resisted arrest and had run away.

    Now kids, when being arrested, if you don't want a beating, then don't resist arrest! SIMPLE! Good wholesome law abiding citizens have no need to resist arrest and run from the cops. If being falsely arrested, don't resist. Instead, sort it out with your lawyer later.

    Yes this means the we New Zealanders must be idiots for allowing this. However, the English language has already turned to crap.
    In addition to my post, from the link, check out these new definitions of existing words, based on poor habits of non-native English speakers: he, me, she, we, you.

    The English language has gone to the pack. What about these additions:
    bootylicious, doobry, feh, google, lesbigay, prairie-dogging, warez.

    The Oxford Dictionary has become UrbanDictionary. And yes, I am aware that languages evolve.

    In the 80's we could get free phonecalls from public payphones in New Zealand by simply "tapping" the receiver hook down quickly. No phreaking needed. Because it was a rotary dialer (pulse dialer), you could tap out the inverse of each number (10 taps for a 0, 9 for a 1, 8 for a 2,...,1 for a 9, etc). A bit different to what the Wikipedia article says - guess it might be wrong. Pretty easy for a kid to do.
