  1. I would post "Racist much?", but that doesn't really capture your stupidity. I presume that's why you post as AC as well.

    What do you mean? The FBI and DHS should have copies of most of them. And Congress is ever so diligent in making sure they are following the law, because it's their job and they take it very seriously.

    Bonus, you can have a nice relaxing salt bath. You can literally feel all your worries leaving through your pores.

  6. Exactly. The mob's behaviour is based entire on past police behaviour. The PAST. The police don't behave the same way anymore. They've completely fixed the problems they've had with mistreating non-white and/or poor people.

    So these kids should know it's completely wrong to be doing this now.

    "YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki called for mandatory computer science in schools, suggesting that boys — like her own son — are monopolizing the family computer across America, leaving girls — like her own daughter — out of the conversation when it comes to technology"

    I have this crazy idea. I think Susan can afford...a second computer! Or put some kind of time limit on how long someone can use the computer.

    But guess what, I bet if she does, she'll still find her daughter instead either talking or tapping away on her phone, or perhaps doing the same thing, just on her computer.

    It's truly obnoxious for her to go "I can't be bothered to do anything to get my daughter interested in technology, I'm here before Congress demanding that the gov't do it for me."

    Just get caught for speeding, then try to accelerate away when the cop touches your car.
    Or even just run away from the car after stopping. As a bonus, you get a free gun.

    Unfortunately, if you are white, you may have to do this in blackface.

    You don't snoop traffic at local stations...you go to the local donut shop.

    Here in Edmonton, one of the radio stations ran a contest, where you would phone in, then they would tell you the address of a Tim Hortons, you guess if there are cops there, they phone and ask, and you win if you guess right. Everyone would guess yes, most of the time they were right, and then the station got the hint that they shouldn't be running the contest anymore.

  13. Re:Well if its anything like the US... on Reactions Split On What Canada's Liberal Majority Means For Tech Policy Future (freezenet.ca) · · Score: 2

    No. Liberal/Conservative is very similar to Democrat/Republican. Two sides of the same coin. It's not stalemate crazy like the US, because we don't have the checks and balances [the Senate here rarely puts a stop to legislation]. It's more like a 5 year dictatorship once someone gets a majority. Hence, Harper got to shove through all kinds of unpopular legislation. Now, it's Trudeau's turn. The only difference is that Trudeau comes across as empty-headed, somebody else has to tell him what to say and do.

    If anything, we are doubly screwed, because we get to fund these jokers directly, so their corporate masters....I mean, sponsors get their legislation without having to pony up the big bucks that the US guys have to.

    Well, that is something I would think we can all appreciate.

    The 1st gen iPad actually got shafted for support, compared even to iPhones of the same vintage. One major update and that was all. It did NOT get an update last year [in 2014].

    It shipped with iOS 4.2.x, and then got iOS 5.x, and iOS 6 was iPad 2 and later.

    Are you kidding? We totally have to.

    If you sign up for the military, you automatically are a hero, regardless of what you actually do.
    "First Responders", which I believe covers police, firefighters, tow truck drivers, ambulance drivers all hero's.
    Stopping at an accident and helping someone out of a car "hero".

    And all this bullshit is rapidly ramping up here in Canada.

    What exactly is "amazing" about a multi-billion dollar, multinational software developer coding up a web browser?

    That they did it?
    That it runs?
    That significant parts of it are hard-coded into the OS, again?
    That it's more standards compliant that the previous version, even though it's the first version?
    That it works pretty good for a v1, given that normally Microsoft needs 3 major versions to get to that state?
    That the quality software known as Flash is BUILT INTO it?
