The robbers were armed. Her response was therefore justified and admirable.
If she'd waited to find out for sure if they would use the weapons that they brought and apparently were willing to use, it'd be too late. The only unfortunate part of this story is that the robbers are still alive.
I think that the people who are approving remolding the current plants should be sent home. There's no good reason for remolding the plants when so much effort has been spent on getting rid of mold.
I don't think they said there was only one model. In any case, complete annihilation isn't required for it to be a "threat". Imagine a model plane carrying a hand grenade being flown into a state building, or airport, or stadium filled with people.
Yes, because "separate but equal" has always been the way to go.
I once thought the same way. After all, if they can get the same benefits and responsibilities with a "civil union", then why are they so up in arms over calling it "marriage"? It's just a word, after all... Oh, wait.
Every use of plea bargaining is an abuse. Everyone has a right to a trial, even those who are most definitely guilty of a crime.
Everyone already has the right to a trial; plea bargains do not take that right away. Accepting the plea bargain is optional for the defendant and can be particularly appealing for those who are "most definitely guilty."
so that it could be used as a bargaining chip to get them to comply with providing information about associates.
By giving people an incentive to lie about their fellow citizens. How is that supposed to be a good thing?
You're confusing "fellow citizens" with "accomplices" here.
The overall problem isn't plea bargains, or attempts by law enforcement to get suspects to turn on each other. There's nothing wrong with getting a robbery suspect to turn on his accomplices. The real problem is the silly little offenses that are prosecuted far beyond any semblance of reasonableness. Violating a website's TOS is obviously not the same as a real crime.
Only the end result matters, not whose fault it is. If the Kindle versions aren't as good as the print version, then don't buy them. Easy answer. Unfortunately one has to get burned a time or two before coming to that conclusion, but to keep getting burned repeatedly would be dumb.
Not everything that's worth the cost so society is a profit-making venture. Police, Fire, public healthcare, and even public schools aren't profitable enterprises but are considered "worthwhile" because of the benefits that they provide to the public: health, education, safety.
He's obviously picking scenarios that support his predetermined viewpoint, ignoring the fact that most startups fail. We're not talking here about getting hired into a successful company at a multimillion-dollar salary. This is about mortgaging one's home to try and build something, and creating opportunities for others in the process.
The ones h4rr4r refers to are nicknamed the "1%" (the wall-street version, that is) for a reason. They're in the vast minority.
I have passed cars who were driving under the speed limit on winding back roads. It is pure chance that I did not crash into an oncoming car.
Then you're a moron. Except for the injuries that you'd have caused to that oncoming car's occupants, it's unfortunate that you didn't.
Slow drivers would just claim that it is their right to drive slow and the deaths from head-on collisions in the other lane are 100% the fault of the driver passing them...
And they'd be right. If you drive in the oncoming traffic lane and hit something, it is completely your fault. Your choice, your action, your fault. Live with it.
As I recall, other ISP's & such have price lists for the information. It costs Facebook money to pay those 25 people, so I'd expect them to charge a fee for the service.
So every time they type it in, you get reminded...
Every time they log in you get a message containing their cleartext password? Doesn't sound secure to me. Unless you're looking over their shoulders, which doesn't sound good either.
How silly that everyone doesn't want mice for pets. How much better the world would be. Hell, how about cockroach pets? No vet bills since the damn things just keep on living!
They don't have to subsidize it now; they do it to bring in or retain customers. They consider the profit (or loss) involved when deciding whether to do it.
I'd be surprised to learn that the EFF actually believes that "Google, governments, and technologists" don't already understand exactly what doors are opened by ignoring privacy protections, and aren't actively working toward that goal.
Avast has started popping up "alerts" trying to get you to buy their paid product. Of course, the product is free and they're allowed to try to convert some of the free users to paid ones, but I'm also allowed to switch AV products. The Avast popups just got too annoying.
Good answer. I don't really care for asking or answering those questions either, but if someone tells me that he sees himself in the circus (or any other profession) in 5 years I'd reject his application. I want someone who wants to keep doing what he or she is doing. Wanting to advance or expand their knowledge doesn't hurt either.
Same for 'why do you want to work here." "Because I need a paycheck?" Seriously? Look, we all laugh at Wally in the Dilbert strips, but I'm sure as hell not going to knowingly hire one.

When there is no real difference between the candidates offered, how do you protest?
By effectively giving more influence to those who do vote?
Fortunately, those who decided the amendment was necessary were much smarter and more forward-thinking than you, and remembered some history.
That's a perfectly reasonable response if what you actually need is a airplane.

You're not exonerating the PHB's; a PHB is the opposite of the good leader that you describe.
Brand new: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/81898?tid=pr81898. More than a $150 tablet, but better than a $150 tablet that you can't use.
Not so new: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=manual+typewriter (One of those looks like what I did all my high school & some college papers with).

In item 1, I assume you meant either "vote counting" or "voting", but sadly you're correct either way.
Apparently, he wasn't.
