I don't doubt you did. Criminal cops are a common breed. The question isn't usually IF the cop is dirty, the question generally is how dirty is the cop.
Every place that I have every lived has used chalk marks to indicate tire position. The meter maid comes by with a long stick with chalk at the end. They will mark the tire and road. The chances of you driving away, and coming back later with the chalk on the road not erased, the chalk on your tire not erased, parking in exactly the right spot to line up the chalk, AND your tire having turned exactly the percent of a revolution so that the mark lines up with the one on the road is so small as to be insignificant. I'm guessing you couldn't do it if you tried.
Given that digital photos are close to free, and it would be trivial for parking officers to prove their case with photos, it is reasonable to expect them to do so.
The point was that you keep the photos that are evidence, and destroy the thousand photos that show the start time for a car but the car was moved so was never illegally parked.
I'm not sure that you really understand what 'cash' is. It has been many years since 'cash' has been anything more than casino chips. Heck, one could resonably argue that since the inception of 'cash', it hasn't been anything more than casino chips, but certainly since we left the gold standard.
I will never buy a game system where I lose all my games when the service shuts down. Me and my family rotate through our XBox, Genesis, NES, 2600, Amiga and a few other game systems. A steam like service is a rental service at purchase pricing. For that kind of service I use GameTap. They are honest about the fact that they are renting you the games, and the service is priced appropriately. There is no way that MS, Sony, or Nintendo would consider for even a second of offering rental pricing for rentals. GameTap is $60 a year for access to over a thousand games. Many console games are $60 for just one game. So, a steam like service would not only NOT solve the problem, it would actually make the system even less of a value to me and my family.
While he didn't start really reading for another 10 months at almost 3, he certainly could count, and all it took to install Ubuntu was to be able to recognize 'Next'. You are confused for three reasons. 1) Kids have far more potential than they are given credit for, and are usually held back by the adults around them. 2) Ubuntu is INCREDIBLY easy to install. 3) Yes, my kid is a super genius. But he tends to only hover at just a little below the level of kids twice his age. So, if he could install Linux at 2, normal kids should easily be able to do it at 4.
Once they got to the point that your average 4 year old could install it, 'difficulty' is a non-issue. You know those commercials that are being run with the little girl?
I'm kind of suprised that none of the console makers haven't taken to copying the disk to a hard drive. I know that they are not going to do anying without copy protection, so they could just just use a usb dongle as a key. You could technically have up to 256 keys plugged in at a time, so you could load up you console giving you the convenience of installation to a hard drive as well as protection from disk scratches.
I'll give you that it takes a reasonably competent user to make Crysis work, but if your not running on cutting edge hardware, installing Linux with the drivers is trivial enough that my son did his first Linux install (unassisted) 2 weeks after his second birthday. This was way back with Ubuntu 5.10. While there was a time that Linux was hard to install, that day is long past.
My example would have been "fat stupid and lazy blue collar guy with hot smart hard working wife... Havoc ensues!" They've been beating that dead horse since The Honeymooners.
Concerning wide scale distribution of fuel for the fuel cells...
What I really want to see is a unit that can be used as a big battery for solar installations. Let me produce hydrogen all day in the sun and then run the other way around at night.
Really, it comes down to this. Has MS ever banned a heterosexual for putting that in their profile. Certainly with the number of members they have, they must have had at least one heterosexual say that they were hetero in their profile. If they were banned, then the woman is being a whiner. If they were not banned, then MS is being discriminatory. Others indicate that XBox Live is verbally vulgar, so I would expect that sexual information wouldn't be impossible to fine if she is correct.
So, here is the homework for the section of Slashdot that intersects with XBox Live users... See if you can find a profile that indicates the user is heterosexual.
Your experience my be different than every other person I've ever met, but it is unlikely that you will ever have the opportunity give your side of the story.
Maybe, but certainly every school teacher that reads non-public domain books out loud to their class is in violation of copyright, and certainly other laws centering around involving minors in illegal activities when they ask the students to do the public reading.
Yes, there are many that believe it is better. Odd I know. The basic premise of homeopathy is not totally absurd. It is basically the idea that substances that cause similar symptoms to a disease can protect you from or cure the disease. So, immunization. As is the case with many 'alternative' ideas, there is a group that decided it was magic and have gone off on some bizarre tangent.
That is an extremely important point. The summary says 'viewers' not 'users', but I didn't read the article so it might say something different there. Certainly 'viewers' could mean users though, and I would not doubt for a second that their numbers are true.
You are correct in all but one minor point. They do not have a legal obligation to do what is in the best interest of the shareholder's profit margins. They have a fiduciary responsibility. This does not necessarily mean 'financial'. It actually means that they have a legal obligation to do what is in the best interest of the shareholder. I will concede that it is generally assumed that by default the best thing for the shareholder is to make as much profit as possible, but it does not have to be the case. For example, most HOAs are in fact corporations. The board of most HOAs must follow their fiduciary responsibility which is assumed to be making the living conditions as good as possible. It is not assumed to be making as much profit as possible.
I have seen FAR more original reporting on the web than in newspapers. Most of what our local newspaper writes about is either reprints of associated press, or fluff pieces that they just made up from their office. Heck, I even found it reprinting an article from The Weekly World News, and 7 months AFTER the WWN printed it, so it wasn't even timely trash. The days of newspapers doing investigation has been dead almost as long as I have been alive.
Blogs on the other hand, often are actual first person reporting. Sure there are lots of blogs that are just article links, and these can go astray, but many of them are first hand reporting, and the same problem of reporting on reports happens to traditional media as well.
While you may have some info that has not been conveyed to the general public, it seems to me that the question of whether their is life is still not really answered, and the question of whether there ever was life, certainly has not been answered. That being said, as far as I know, you are correct that we now KNOW that there is water on Mars, and only "Dinosaur bones are Satan trying to trick us." crowd would think that sending up humans, monkeys, or whatever would completely eradicate any signs of pre-human life on Mars. And, I would guess that those 'KNOW' that there has never been life there, just like they 'KNOW' that dinosaurs never existed.
So, while I do slightly disagree with a couple of your reasoning points, I have to say that your conclusion is absolutely correct.
You registered the wrong domain. You should have registered martianhomeopathy.com. I just checked and it is still available, as well as the.net,.org, and.mobi variants. You see, shipping millions of gallons of water down from Mars would be prohibitively expensive. On the other hand, if you market it as 'Homeopathy', you can actually advertise that you have diluted billions of gallons of earth water with just one itty bitty tiny drop of actual Martian water. This will be seen by many of the homeopathy crowd as giving it more powerful juju than if you had shipped 100% pure Martian water.
While I'm not saying that getting that first drop of Martian water would be cheap or easy, but it certainly would be cheaper and easier than setting up a full scale harvesting and shipping system for pure water.
That is exactly why I have considered making a hundred fake personas so that I can show that I am 'LinkedIn'. This would give perspective employers the ability to see that I had hundreds of satisfied clients who are undyingly loyal to me, and that back me up when I claim to have invented the internet, automobile, and the light bulb.
Java died on the client because it was never write once run anywhere. I remember being really excited about it when it first came out. I wrote a simple applet, and tested it in Netscape, IE and Lotus Notes. While they did all run, not one of them looked like the other, and when I tried to make the applet a little more complicated, it didn't always work on all three platforms. It wasn't much better than any other language for portability.

Seriously, do talk about posting pictures of hot chicks and then not post them.
