Have you ever watched an entire White House press conference? They may have skilled PR, but the government still gets yelled at on a regular basis. Look at the opposition members of congress, they have different opinions.
Large scale governments have to pander to the will of the people or lose their power. What is it that you want to do, anyway?
Proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) should prevent these shocks altogether. If you shut off the power and carefully handle capacitators using thick rubber electrical gloves, you should not be shocked. I'm too lazy/busy to research it now, but I am sure that OSHA has stricter recomendations than "Don't ground through your chest."
The electrical current that powers your heart is not really all that powerful and can be messed up pretty easily if the amps and volts are high enough.
Given the noise that these things make, hopefully the member of parliment would notice (unless it is Mr. Ndeezi of the Australian parliament). The police or military would be able to detect an object like this pretty quickly and track it. I think there are better ways of delivering a 100kg explosive payload than an ultralight.
Does anyone know if the local authorities are challenging the feds? I know that it is not entirely unheard of for the two levels of authority to have turf wars.
We need to realize that the word "journalist" does not apply to everyone who can type at >30wpm. There are standards. Someone from The Nation is a reporter, even though he will almost always blast the government for one reason or another. Journalists are very critical of government (TFA being an example) so I am not implying that only state supported media is good. This is what happens when the state gains too much control over media (I think it's a comedy, but they call it news). But when will people who videotape their crime sprees start asserting that they cannot be held accountable because they consider themselves journalists?
Actually they have every right to seize your car if they can get a warrent based on the fact that one of the vile criminals touched it briefly and may have left fingerprints.
It seems that the police have a warrent. I get the feeling that the police are not revealing everything they know (which is normal proceedure for an ongoing investigation). The judge must have been told something else to make him issue a warrent.
Here is something that bothers me: if he did not record anything illegal, which is his claim, why won't he testify before the grand jury? How can he try to hide behind a shield law if he did not record any crime? If he is telling the truth, it seems like his testimony would be a quick "No sir, I have never seen the defendants before at any time in my life." And if his video is not damaging to the defendants, why not release it? He has no sources to protect, which is a big reason they have shield laws in the first place.
You know, if you want change you can always push for it democratically. If the majority of voters in your area agree with you, you become the government.
I really do not see why this is such a big deal. You know that if a conservative counter protestor had done anything wrong, this guy would have run to the police department and the nightly news with his footage. He is only trying to protect his fellow protesters, the exact reason they have contempt of court laws.
You need to realize that simply holding a camera does not make you a journalist. People cannot be allowed to set fire to police cars! This was a disgusting act that must be punished severely. I do not see how this would be anything but a federal matter.
Repeating myself yet again, there are only two alternatives to this study: release it to the general public now or cancel it. They have already performed many tests on consenting patients and it passed. There have been many practices in the past that have been put into the field without randomized field testing and some of them have had bad results.
If you need PolyHeme you are already dieing, so don't worry about the lawsuit. And what makes you think that this field trial is going on in your area? Also, you must realize that by virtue of being in a major trauma situation and unable to speak (or breath in many cases) you are losing some of your rights to the trained responders who assist you.
It wasn't just the lawn, it was the overall being treated like crap and not being informed ahead of time of the digging. They also damaged the street and did a bad job of fixing it. On the technical side of things, they told me that they did not know if I could run a VOIP connection through their Fiber link and that it was "unsupported" and not recomended.
"If you think this is the first time things like this have been tested, then I have a bridge to sell you. How do you think we have all the techniques we have now?"
I really wish that I could tell you that you are 100% correct. We got a lot of the techniques we have now without the benefit of randomized field trials. There are several cases of things being pulled off of the street because they were eventually proven to be harmful to patients. If only there were more trials like this one, those devices never would have made it to widespread use. I am glad that there are other people smart enough to realize that this trial is not the start of the fourth reich. Tell me, blike, do you have a background in medicine or just common sense?
Oh, and I do not think that PolyHeme carries any risk of HIV infection, though I would have to check NorthField's information for that.
Irrelevent? It is the trial that is offering the opt-out wristbands! They have had TV ads, newspaper ads, and town hall meetings proclaiming the details of this study! If someone is a member of a church that objects to PolyHeme, at least one member of even a tiny congregation would have noticed this and alerted the minister.
According to TFA, the contract ended up costing less than $6000 per month. This seems very reasonable (read: profitable for the city) and I do not understand why they did not go through the process of renewing it. Maybe the city was trying to pinch pennies.
In any case, part of the contract is support, which OSS would not resolve. I'm sure that contractors would claim that OSS is not meant for public works due to the risk of terrorists and general burglers learning and exploiting the system. I do not believe that, but I'm sure the nightly news would run a story on "Giving our secrets away."

Sticking meta tags on your home page is free and only takes a few minutes. Why not do it, even if it the benefit is dubious?

Instead it makes an electrical pulsing/humming noise that seems to get louder and louder...
Quiet you, and back to the data mines!

Come on guys, the PSP is clearly a computer joystick!
A 220 volt AC wall outlet will also kill you. Honestly, how many electrical accidents injure or kill IT workers every year? Not very many.
I like GTA for PSP. It made the transition from console to PSP fairly seemlessly.
Remember, your computer must be traveling at exactly 88 miles per hour for it to work!

The prizes awarded are less than their fair market value. They are an added incentive, but professional coders could make more money.
I don't know how the NYT reporters were able to track her down. After all, this describes most AOL users!
But only the top two people are receiving the prize based on their performance. I fail to understand your arguement.

I think you are missing the whole point of F/OSS. The prize is buried on the website and is not the reason that people want to do this.
You could afford to buy four and you have a whole dollar left!

That depends; are you asking me which vehicle I would rather be piloting when I hit someone?
