To say nothing of the reality that since we live in a culture of vengeance and celebrity, and near psychotic levels of bullying which are called civil discourse, I have zero faith that any jury would deliberate for more than 15 minutes before declaring Zimmerman guilty.
No one's said it was justifiable. On the other hand no one's saying there's even a remote possibility that this guy shouldn't be lynched from a lightpole on national television either. So, good luck with that.
MSNBC has already been saying for 44 days that the only 'justice' is a conviction. I kind of hope George is murdered in the court room or barring that if he's found not guilty somehow that there's a Rodney King style 3 day race riot that leaves 30 dead.
I was actually doing no more no less than what I suggested. I'd like to know a bit about the people I might work for, whether they're reliable, criminal, have lawsuits against them, what have you. You'd be amazed WHY someone would hire someone else to work for them. Sometimes the reasons are nefarious.
I mean they're just competing narratives, aren't they? I can hardly wait for the Gay Nazis for Christ to teach their 'controversy'. It will be awesome.
I have paid to run a fairly complete background check on the person who ostensibly would be my boss and during the rigamarole that is the recruitment process I handed the results to them with the un-ironic comment that I wanted to be reassured the person I'd be working for was reliable and who they said they were and present any untoward risks to me that I'd I might have to bear the brunt of. Of course this person was all kinds outraged and hissy-fitted, cancelled the interview right there and threaten all kinds of bogus legal action, none of which was even remotely true. I did manage to uncover some minor legal troubles, credit score, basic financial history, names of family members, how much they paid for their home, cars, etc etc.
An almost universal problem that Sony has on the consumer electronics side is their branded price premium. Item for item across their entire product spectrum they attempt to collect a price premium just because the name on the widget says "Sony" and while that might be true some of the time for some models of some products it's never universally true for everything. And even where the products they sell are premium price and they are better, are they THAT MUCH better? Usually no. Let's face facts, most PC's all come out of the same 4 factories. Most TV's come out of the same 6 factories and so on. And while manufacturers can often spec their own production runs to be a little bit better or a little bit unique a-la Apple, it can't possibly be true for everything all the time.
We need the People's Red Revolution First October Industrial Combine and Electronics Collective designed to sell exactly one model of every item. And it's always out of that one model. And if they have it it's overpriced. And may catch on fire. All Hail.
I can't see how anarcho libertarian fascists like Glenn Greenwald who openly shill for the Iranian regime tolerating this outwardly. Oh they'll say it's wonderful but how they do their work and earn their pay relies on communicating with the regime.
Then when half of them are smashed and the other half are stolen.....Anyway ARE there any pay phones anymore? And if they build this crap, what will a call cost? $8?
They were hoping young people would tear off their clothes and mate with them as a result. It didn't happen so the hell with all that save the earth crap.
When the US protested France performing their last tests in the mid 90's, France's rationale was that the US had supercomputer simulations that replaced real testing and no one else had that compute power. This is no longer the case. Any reasonably advanced country can lash together enough cheap gear to build a supercomputer powerful enough to run simulations. Now - do they have the programming expertise sufficient to build models that work well? That's another question but one largely beyond the scope and concern of this issue.
Rail/gun types of weapons were simple enough in 1945 to not need testing. Trinity was a test of the "Fat Man" plutonium design used on Nagasaki. The Hiroshima uranium design was rushed into deployment in case Trinity didn't work. Hiroshima's 'Little Boy' was never tested and no one seriously thought it NEEDED to be tested.
By comparison, South Africa built and then abandoned 6 - 9 gun type uranium warheads fully prepared to use them if need be w/o ever having tested them. In fact they never even tested the conventional explosives trigger design either. No need for that, the engineering, chemistry and physics were well understood.

Unlikely that even a Murder 2 conviction gets the SuperMax treatment. Unless it's keep him in protective custody so he doesn't get murdered.

Or can it? I think you should tell your bosses to do it with scripts and send the bots forth! Skynet is self aware and he's a dick.
How's that working out? Hewlett and Packard would cry if they came back to see what you've done to their baby.
Gartner couldn't be any more insanely pro MS if they were branded a subsidiary of MS.
Wwwwwhhhhaaaaaaaaatttt??

See I'm all about transparency.
Wait for it, he will.
The paperback was $38 shipped and the downloadable version was $97. Excuse me but that's insane.

This IS IBM after all, building a smarter world, smarter than the slaves who keep it running at any rate.

Most countries that claim to have adopted the CTBT have in fact NEVER ratified it.
