I haven't yet seen anything addressing the egregious kick-back schemes provided to most sheriff offices. Perhaps I missed it.
That practise needs to stop.
"What non-lethal technology out there has the best potential to be more effective at immobilizing a target and/or protecting a cop than a gun?"
Education.
Most of the major banks offer a Private Banking service. Ask about it at your bank (Wells Fargo was a huge help to us). A surprisingly large part of the service consists of specialized staff to help you deal with these issues.
You are not the first person, nor the last, to have immense wealth suddenly thrust upon them. The myriad of psychological issues that accompany those windfalls are best dealt with by people who have the experience of dealing with individuals struggling with the unforseen downsides and conflicts.
It's far better to be rich than to be poor, but the transition in either direction is not an easy one.
Good luck.
California farmers have in the past, and continue to, wreak havoc on California.
Read a bit about this asshole and his environmental catastophe: J.G. Boswell.
His wikipedia page has been sanitized by his minions, but Amazon has a fairly good book on his rape and pillage of the state.

Now the farmers are sucking the underground water table so dry the state is sinking at an unprecedented rate. http://www.motherjones.com/env...
California wasn't such a desert until we "improved" the farming environment.
The only thing worse than a lawyer is a law student, they think they can use the courts for anything.
The only thing worse than a lawyer is a small-minded person who believes himself capable of creating factual generalizations about a diverse group of people.
Oh, and fuck you for trying it.
That's not the test.
The test is the blatant copying of the iPhone the moment it was released.
Samsung is simply a copycat fast follower. They produce nothing but copies of other people's work. In plastic, without taste, and without quality.
The video coincidentally happens to feature Apple. Nothing in this judge's history indicates any bias IN FAVOR of Apple.
The fact is, the slavish copying of other people's products is Samsung's business model.
Refrigerators, televisions, phones, any appliance that can be replicated will be.
Most shareholders, including myself, would prefer that Apple error on the side of caution with regards to our planet's resources and health.
I'd like the planet to be here when I'm ready to spend my profits.
An unsubstantiated claim about an unannounced product that may or may not include functionality relative to recent biometric hires is adequate to begin a flamefest.
I love watching idiots argue about nothing they are privy to.
Does one HAVE to be an idiot to be in the AndroidRox Club or does it just seem to draw those kind of people?
Exactly.
The statement "because we're a community and we want to take everyone with us" grossly misses the point. Sit down, knock it off, and serve the community.

Keep it up and there won't be anyone to "take with" you.
Your post indicates that you are not a video professional, so you can run along, this product is not designed for you.
The right tools for many video production houses are FCP and this product.
And please, shill, do post your "recent benchmarks" that show "Windows does a little better".
My business, (as with millions of businesses), exceeds the square footage that's allowed for legally playing a radio. As a result, I pay DMX/Pandora for the privilege. The service sucks. I either need to download an app or load Flash onto my computer to administer the account and the music choice. The rotation is repetitive. It takes between 20 and 45 minutes for the genre or channel to change. The remote control doesn't work properly. The stream inexplicably stops often. Customer service is abysmal.
iTunes Radio can't be used in commercial settings. Same with Spotify. And Rhapsody.
When one's business practices consist of poor user experience, poor customer support, and poor product delivery one's business deserves to die. This isn't a result of a shit market, it's the result of shit products.
At what point does an exorbitant executive salary burn money that should be returned to the share/stakeholders? Personally, I think we've reached that point in the US.
I believe executive pay should be in the hands of shareholders and out of the hands of handpicked compensation committees.
It's likely we wouldn't have a need for this type of legislation at that point.

In no way did Neil say he music was too good for streaming. Read your own darn summary. The false headline is beneath even the Dice crowd.

Can we take down the environmentalism straw man yet?

Nope. It runs over the Yellowstone River and our largest aquifer.
They have very good reason to fear big government, history has shown over and over and over again that big government is very bad.

Perhaps to something more descriptive. I suggest: "Here's another way that you can't hack a properly maintained iPhone, but thanks for the clicks".
1. Nazis 2. Hitler. There, we're done here.
Awesome. 10 posts into an Apple thread and we get a Godwin' Law post. What took so long?

Samsung before Apple released the iPhone was simply a Blackberry copierthen the iPhone hit: http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...
