Having watched hundreds of jury selections, the fact that you sat a jury means you are a fekking idiot. It's the only way you made it that far. Glad you sat long and hard, the big words must have troubled you.
Hounds in modern law force are trained as trackers, Shepard dogs like German Shepards are trained as partners for there cops with the sole training goal to be to take down the target their trainer sends them at.
For more info, look at what the members of law enforcement have to say:
Now, spend a few months lurking on these (and many other forums, as I was often instructed too) forums and you'll find out enough about police dogs to make you want to shit yourself everytime you see a K9 unit. It's like Pavlov, but fatal.
The thing is, lawyers *does* want "smart thoughtful people" on the jury. The problem is there are not enough. There may be 2 people on a tweleve person panel that fit that description, and they'd be viewed by the other ten as leaders. Leaders on a jury are a Bad Thing(TM) as they sway votes. So the attorneys fight to get them off. Mostly because it's difficult to predict smart people. *If* there were enough "smart thoughtful people" in the jury selection panel (here in Washington (state, not DC) they start with 40 and trim from there) to equal the 12 count then you bet your ass they'd be there. Trouble is, most folks are stupid by that logic. Common denominator applies.
This is why I don't work for that a law firm any more. We did a lot of criminal defence and the one problem was often the mentality of the accused. The Persecutor often had very little evidence that supported thier case, but the sad fact of the judicial system is that the week link is the jury. I should say, the jury selection PROCESS. How many folks out there in "real-world" land do you think actually believe that things like CSI are "the way it really happens"? Saddly those folks don't make jury selection, they are predisposed to believe DNA==Guilty. SO by the time you select a *impartial* jury (i.e. folks who tilted their answers to jury selection questions to show that, no, they don't watch modern televisin what's this DNA stuff?) you got a panel or 12 Judy Judy watching MORONS who will be swayed by which ever attorney *looks* ballsy enough.
There was the last case I helped with (civil, not criminal) for them (I was the *tech guy* who ran the powerpoint display) where we were representing a homeless man who's throat had been torn out (yes, he uses the same voice box similar to the tracheotomy having smokers) who was sueing the police for medical damages (he had been sleeping under a tree when they were chasing a criminal(not him) and as far as the cop dog was concerned, he *looked* guilty, don't believe that crap about the cop dog following a scent, these are the dogs trained to attack and disengage on a word (shedard dogs) not follow trails (hounds))(by the way, before everyone jumps and says "but he's homeless, so he was just money grubbing, DSHS (Department of Social and Health Services) were putting a lein on the settlement outcome, had we got what we were after (money wise) it would have only have paid the debt to the hospital that treated him). Our attorney did a FANTASTIC job during jury selection (only a 6 person jury, they do that in civil court) but he advised over and over and over, don't take the stand.
He did.
I know what the real tale was, I'd met and talked to the defendant, but, he was homeless, very mentally unstable (as most are) and the jury thought he sounded crazy. End of story. No win. One branch of the government did not have to hand over tax payer money to an other banch of government. Cause he *seemed* unhinged.
Similar is this case. Hans is an egotist. He *knows* he's smarter than you. And he spews contempt at your ignorance for not realizing this. Ask anyone who's ever debated with him in a forum. He acts as though you are nothing cause he knows all. Well, how well you think that flew with the proles on the jury? I can tell you, it didn't.
All they saw was a smart man telling them they were idiots. And that, they don't like. So they voted for the lynching.
The fault in out justice system is that our fate is in the hands of the lowest common denomiator.

You should research EV's a tad more, the average 9" stator DC motor only draws about 3-4kw during it's normal work cycle (read upkeeping the momentum). Sure, it may peek at 70kw when under max load(not even remotely that high actually, even running at 172v the average 9" stator motor only pulls about 300amps peek, which is only about 50kw) you'd only draw that if you foot was floored on the pot box. Which it wouldn't be, not unless you were drag racing. But, this is why the motor isn't running off the genny, the genny is just charging your battery bank. The 3-4kw genny is only there to top off your batteries, which it would do very well, espesially in rush hour style traffic were you aren't using any power to actually move (this is also where hybids outshine the straight gas engines). The time you are sitting in that traffic jam, or at that stop light or going down that hill is when the genny would be topping off the battery bank. Diesel gennys that small weight about 50lbs.... fueled, so, what's this extra weight? Hell, hit the treadmill a bit and your own body mass could offset the genny's weight.
I think these guys are like some 30 year old rock band or something, the member have to be like in their 60s. You know, the kind of crap that only old pathetic guys who want to relive the glory days of high school listen to. Hell, they were "old" when I was in highschool, and folks like Trent Reznor were the new hotness. High school for me was in 88-92, so yeah, who?
Actually I don't lock my door, or my car for that matter, and you're welcome to my SSN (488-22-1086) I have the worlds *worst* credit score good luck using it for fraud... but that's beside the point. The point is not that I don't care about security, but that the GGP(parent to my Frontalot quote) was saying *gasp* it might take 5 months! So? why would the thief care how long it took? I wouldn't if it was me. I mean hell, in three years those SSNs will still be valid, the Gub'ment don't reissue those you know, and they'll still have value. Hell, in three years the folks the data was stolen *from* will probably think that the crooks were idiots and the heat'll be off. So, see what I mean?
Get your most closely kept personal thought:
put it in the Word.doc with a password lock.
Stock it deep in the.rar with extraction precluded
by the ludicrous length and the strength of a reputedly
dictionary-attack-proof string of characters
(this, imperative to thwart all the disparagers
of privacy: the NSA and Homeland S).
You better PGP the.rar because so far they ain't impressed.
You better take the.pgp and print the hex of it out,
scan that into a TIFF. Then, if you seek redoubt
for your data, scramble up the order of the pixels
with a one-time pad that describes the fun time had by the thick-soled-
boot-wearing stomper who danced to produce random
claptrap, all the intervals in between which, set in tandem
with the stomps themselves, begat a seed of math unguessable.
Ain't no complaint about this cipher that's redressable!
Best of all, your secret: nothing extant could extract it.
By 2025 a children's Speak & Spell could crack it.
You can't hide secrets from the future with math.
You can try, but I bet that in the future they laugh
at the half-assed schemes and algorithms amassed
to enforce cryptographs in the past.
Getting something that light into stable orbit is like trying to throw a penny through a field goal from 30 yards away. Getting small amounts of mass to travel great distances is simple. I believe a divice that can throw a penny at least 30(meters) can be found here.
I would say it's quite possible, but until Ubuntu got something like widespread availability as a pre-installed on computers for purchase, then it won't matter how ready it is because few people in the masses will have any experience. http://www.dell.com/ubuntu
Seems Dell believes it's ready for the desktop, and from the models available they think it's ready for the laptop too.
It's ready, Dell said so.
Huh, odd, cause when I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10 I plugged in my iPod *while* the OS was installing and the music *just played*. No idea what you are ranting about. My M-Audio Microtrack worked before reboot too, and so did popping in a CD full of mp3s as well as just playing a CD (you see, it ran so well *before* rebooting after the install that I *just kept working*). No click through anything, Totem just played them. Granted, my iPod is an older shuffle, but they all work the same right?
Seems you have never installed Ubuntu. Cause it just works. Period. Joe sixpack is used to dealing with countless driver disks, reboot, next driver disk, reboot crap that windows makes you do. Ubuntu just works, pop in the CD, poof desktop, graphics and network magically configured even on every laptop I've ever tried it on, open a mozilla and surf *while* it's installing, just click next, and EVERYTHING works, even my nvidia card. You don't even need to reboot when the install is finished, you can fire up the office app and get to work, or keep surfing porn. You know, whatever.
The mythical Joe Sixpack CANNOT and WILL NOT ever edit a.conf to set up his screen, his boot loader, his sound, nor anything else. Ever. NEVER EVER. Then they shouldn't use windows, cause they sure don't have to do that with Ubuntu, but I have to babysit every box I install XP on for at least, AT LEAST, 4 hours before I can START configuring the network. Pathetic. And don't even get me started on sound drivers for Vista. Everyone of them *just doesn't work*. Class dismissed.
Why would someone who doesn't own a car have car insurance? That's just stupid.
I don't own a house, but should I get home owner's insurance before I go to view one that's for sale?
No, Montana doesn't have "nukes", there are "nukes" in Montana. They are not the property of the state or any state agency. So um, good luck with just waltzing in and trying to point one at another part of your own country. And get back to logging, slacker.
I had no idea what you meant until I turned of the color filtering in compiz-fusion. I look at everything in green/black red/black whenever I feel the need.
Do we really need another Warren Harding or Calvin Coolidge?
Yes, specifically another Coolidge. From one of his biographys:
The political genius of President Coolidge, Walter Lippmann pointed out in 1926, was his talent for effectively doing nothing: "This active inactivity suits the mood and certain of the needs of the country admirably. It suits all the business interests which want to be let alone.... And it suits all those who have become convinced that government in this country has become dangerously complicated and top-heavy...."
If belief is "hardwired" then is it at all possible to not believe? I would think if you a on a genetic level "designed" to believe than it would be impossible not to. Which is absurd in the extreme. Plenty of individuals and modern cultures don't believe, bye bye genetic belief notion.
Actually no, you won't. I visited the local chamber of commerce recently to renew my license tabs and happened to notice something odd about the screen on the desk behind the counter. It was running the Gnome desktop, default Ubuntu themed. I asked them about it and they said their office switched in early 2006 to all Ubuntu desktops. They are a branch office of the WDOT by the way. Apparently the database that Washington state uses is PostgreSQL too.
