  1. Re:Not shocking. on Judge: Cops Can Impersonate Owner Of Seized Cell Phones · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wrong this is a criminal act. A seized phone of a suspect, let me remind you again, 'SUSPECT', is the property of that 'SUSPECT', capitalising to be shore you don't miss it and the police have no right to make it appear to people that the suspect is carrying out acts. This places of the burden of those acts upon the suspect and of course all associates of the suspect and can have extremely dangerous results for the suspect and their associates.

    For example say a drug deal was trigger using the 'suspect's identity. The drug deal goes down people are arrested and associates of the people arrested go the suspect house and murder the suspects family. Apparently those people are nothing, simply meh, they deserve to die for being related to a suspect.

    The police have not right to associate a person with an act they did not commit. Just as nobody has the right to do that. It is a sickly cowardly act and presume a person guilty until proven innocent and all associates of that person also guilty by association. Face it the Judge was a 'Shithead' first class and utterly failed to differentiate between a suspect and a person found guilty in a court of law as well as of course the risk by association placed upon others in the community.

  5. Re:Simple Solution on Asking Slashdot: Converting an SUV Into an Hybrid Diesel-Electric? · · Score: 1

    Of course ceramic permanent magnet electric motors need not add much weight to the wheel, especially as the wheel itself can be incorporated into the motor, leaving only the peripheral frame with the tyre attached. Unsprung mass vs lowest possible centre of gravity and, more direct in line application of force for acceleration and braking. Mass production also helps 4 motors per vehicle, substantively increasing number of units and also reducing complexity and parts count of vehicle. Batteries at the end of the day are still the only hold up on electric vehicles.

    Want to turn a compact SUV into a efficient hybrid, simply research the most efficient generators as a starting point. Forget about supplementing power, just kick in the generator when the battery hits about 30% and then cuts out at say 70% charge, don't forget a solar panel, incorporate the solar panel into aerodynamic roof racks with bed above the roof of the vehicle (it all counts).

    Sorry but you shoot yourself in the foot right there, millions of items. On the Assumption that one Manning did as he was accused he with his brief perusal found criminal activity being hidden and, denied, blatant attempts by the government to pervert the course of justice and the more documents he reviewed the more incidents he came across. To make the idiotically childish claim that he can review millions of documents and then only release the ones that he believes contain evidence of the intent of various US government departments to pervert the course of justice. Obviously once the extent of lies and deceit was uncovered ie the preponderance of deceit as a percentage of the documents reviewed he had no choice but to release all documents to public preview in order to best assure justice be archived.

    Now in all the deceit exposed, all the criminal activity shown and all the attempts to pervert the course of justice, the one and only the that betrayer Barack Obama has chosen to pursue is the whistle blower, the one who exposed the lies, the criminal intent. Why, because it made the US look as bad as in reality it was and exposed the propaganda released by lying US administration after lying US administration.

    Really sick stuff, like yes we murdered a whole bunch of innocent people including children but we are going to lie about it becuase otherwise it will make as look bad and hurt the war effort, basically fuck justice, screw the innocent and if children have to burn to make the US look good, then they'll burn in the hundreds or even thousands.

The steady but inexorable decline for the majority driven by the insensate psychopathic greed at the top.

    There is no reason that MSN on it's own should not be worth more than Google and, should be generating more revenue than Google, apart from of course the M$ management style.
