    I shall try to remember that, Brownshirt.

    That just proves the photographer is as much as scumbag as the murdering general. I don't care he caught Hitler himself, once the suspect is restrained and controlled he can go to trial.

    The photographer just did not like the reality his photo captured, we are not always the good guys.

    Which means they will close the shutter when they are beating people. What they need to do is record the officers whenever they are on duty.

    The problem with that is when you first start out you can't afford mainframes. Then later you have folks who never have seen much less administered main frames.

    By the state's logic, if he hadn't been following so close, the accident wouldn't have happened. In reality, different vehicles have different stopping characteristics. In my car, I *can* stand on the brakes and make it stop on a dime (practiced in autocross racing). In my SUV, if someone stopped like that, they'd be be crushed. It's the difference between a performance sports car, and a truck.

    Then maybe SUV drivers should allow extra distance, or we could just make them require a more strenuous license. I personally think we should require all drivers to take their cars through a road course and skid pad yearly, if you can't make it in the expected time without leaving the road, you aren't allowed to drive that vehicle. I bet SUVs would stop being so fucking popular.

    This is one of those times it makes sense. Just toss it up on Amazon e3 and let them at it.

  7. Re:Really? on Why Apple's DUI Checkpoint App Ban Is Stupid · · Score: 2

    That is the point. The Police know the people who check this app are going to be the kind of people who decide against DUI. The people who do go drinking and driving don't exactly have a a lot of foresight. If you plan your life enough to check a DUI checkpoint app, you are going to stay home, get a ride or take a taxi.

    Real only license, patent encumbered and in the real world people include lots of closed source stuff when using it.

    It is open only in the loosest sense. Mono is aptly named after a disease.

    Awesome, open source code that requires you to use a closed source system to run it. That always makes me laugh.

    but what we wanted to deliver was a very rich user experience over the web that was cross platform.

    That is how they die for the most part. Same for roof mounted solar.

    Hydro power makes large areas uninhabitable for as long as you want power. Ask the folks that live in the area flooded for the three gorges damn all about that.

    Sure they can, just buy power from France. Who are of course using Nuclear power plants on the other side of the river.

    If you were willing to pay an unlimited amount for power you could do solar and wind. Nuclear, Coal, and gas could all be replaced if people were willing to pay more, a lot more.

    Over here in reality, we need new nuclear plants and solar thermal where it makes sense. Wind power in other areas can also work out quite well. To meet our needs at prices people are willing to pay power will have to come from mixed sources.
