Why do you think it keeps running and running for so many years, as well as so many other police reality shows? Not to mention the scary/funny detective and forensic crime shows?
To reinforce one point. The police are infallible. Repeat after me, the police are infallible.
So of course, if the police arrest someone, there must be something they're guilty of. After all see the point above. And if you make enough laws, eventually everyone is technically guilty of something.
...before making such incredibly asinine statements. I suggest reading up on (but not limited to) the following:
1: The first ten amendments of the US Constitution, 2: The past, oh, TWO HUNDRED YEARS or so of judicial precedent, and 3: The definition of "common carrier"
And perhaps you'll then realize why your statements are not merely stupid, but ignorant to an amazing degree. Perhaps. I don't hold out a lot of hope, but maybe you'll surprise us.
"They are "supposed" to do (whatever that means) whatever is in my and everybody else's best interests."
No, they are supposed to maximize return on capital to their investors. By law that is what they are chartered to do, and the board and management can be held criminally and civilly liable for failing to do so. As long as they are breaking no laws (or at least aren't currently under indictment), ethics don't enter into the picture. Only profit.
Look in any dairy case in any convenience store and see how much shelf space is given to plain milk as opposed to milk drinks containing a high percentage of HFCS.
Meat?
Look at the ingredients list of most processed meats. There among the lips and snouts and hooves and eyelids and anuses. HFCS.
Coffee?
Uhm... ever been to a Starbucks?
The problem would seem to be one of semantics - the pure items vs. the forms many people consume regularly.
"Update: As noted in the comments, apparently the Foleo is open to external applications. As Palm puts it, "Its Linux-based operating system and built-in Wi-Fi radio make it easy for developers to create new applications that can be installed with a single click in the browser" -- though Palm's not released any information for developers, nor given any indication of how strongly it will engage the open-source community."
From the title ("Stick A Fork In Palm") to the tone of the rest of the article, it sounds more like Techdirt's got a problem of some kind with Palm than anything else.
...and I couldn't agree more regarding State's rights.
I don't see that a strong federal government has accomplished much except to allow the more reactionary states to hobble the progressive ones. Frankly, as far as I'm concerned, if large groups of the population of the North American land mass choose to remain shithouse poor, pig ignorant, and trembling in fear of their imaginary antagonist^W^Wgod, let them. As long as they isolate their madness to themselves and leave us the fuck alone, they're welcome to push the envelope with regard to their chosen idiocy.
What I find incredible is the condition of the tanks after lying at the bottom of a lake or buried in a bog for 50 years. These things look like they could be started up and driven off.
It doesn't come with a pony, either. You're right, it sucks seven different kinds of ass. Michael Dell should impale himself on a pike at this affront to the Linux faithful.
*ahem*
Do you really think there's a PC manufacturer out there who wouldn't want to tap into the Wal-Mart distribution channel?
Dell is geared up with the kind of manufacturing capacity to supply systems to Wal-Mart at the ridiculously low prices they demand. Landing a huge sales channel like this is hardly desperation on Dell's part. This is a win for both companies. Maybe even for those of us who buy systems, too.
Personally, though I loathe Microsoft, I'm actually looking forward to MS's lawyers giving Jack's testicles the full Benihana treatment before serving them back to him...
...speaking as a middle class white male, I can only hope that in the name of all that's good and decent, and for the benefit of the entire world, that you'll go impale yourself on a spike immediately.
You've posted your pulled from your ass, completely self-invented (and completely bogus) redfinition twice and linked to it twice. We get it already. You're a fucking idiot with an obsessive-compulsive need to be noticed. Enough.

He's saying if you want to kill the monkey (rather than simply cripple or maim) you need to use the right hardware.
Uhm... got them a long way, didn't it?
...has there been a peep out of O'Gara or Enderle yet?
...that SuSE has distributed and still distributes Linux under the GPL...
True, it's about the chicks too...
Milk?

One of the greats? Sweet merciful Christ.
At marketing, perhaps. But that doesn't indicate musical talent, sorry.

Having his information should not be any type of offense.
Using his information should be, and is, illegal.
Note the subtle distinction.

We have a winner, ladies and gentlemen.
You've posted your pulled from your ass, completely self-invented (and completely bogus) redfinition twice and linked to it twice. We get it already. You're a fucking idiot with an obsessive-compulsive need to be noticed. Enough.
...and posting it twice doesn't make your made-up definition any more valid, or you any less of an idiot. But thanks for playing.
