You are probably too smart to be working at McDonalds or a supermarket. Cop work can be really dull and boring, and people need to accept that. If you are after excitement in police work, then you will probably not be a very good cop.
We have been travelling down this road since the first telephones. All governments would love to have this, it is only the technology that has stopped it in the past. Now, we actually have the ability to monitor everyone, at all times.
You need to decide where you want to be, the monitor or the monitee? On the inside, or the outside. The red pill or the blue pill.
I don't see how a simple Google Street View image lowers your property values.
Really? You think that it is a huge coincidence that since Google started this program, house prices all over the US have dropped considerably. They have just started doing it in the UK as well, and guess what, house prices have started dropping there too.
Or, we could play along with their little scheme, all the while preparing for their betrayal, and planning a betrayal of our own. We double cross the double crossers.
Just make sure our chairs are bigger, and heavier, so they hurt more.
Ok, I was a bit harsh, recovering from a hangover.
I think there is a huge difference between making the call with friends in the room, and having a record of the call that you can send to everyone at school or on your myspace account. There is a much greater incentive to outdo each other when you have a record of the event.
Who gives a fuck what you think? Are we all supposed to base our decisions on what some genius who can't even respond to a question properly thinks?
Of course there is a higher chance of people making prank calls after watching this - they now have an audience. The challenge is there to get the most views, by making the most funny and ridiculous call, with which they can brag to their friends about.
Just for the record, I've always dug phone pranks, but I've never enjoyed ones involving emergency operators. They've got better things to do.
Most people have better things to do than answer prank calls, that is not why it is bad to call emergency operators. It is because you are taking away resources from a service which could save someones life.
That is because it is hard to tell the talented people from everyone else, especially if you are in management and have no technical experience. Interviews, tests and code samples are the current methods used, and they are not great.
It is more about respecting others copyrights and property rights.
If you really disagree with something, and think it is ruining society and letting big business control even more of our lives, should you really respect it? Should I respect people who believe in imaginary people in the sky who will listen and answer their prayers? No to both of those.
LaTeX is great, but it is hard to use for non-technical people. There are a lot of non-technical people who need such a great program, and do type-setting. That is why there is a problem.

You clearly don't use SQL Server, it has a great propensity to run out of memory and crash (OK, not great, but every now and again).
Just because they have been busted and changed their minds, doesn't mean it wasn't a conspiracy.
Of course, it probably was just incompetence.... which is worse?
That is a bit of a logical leap.
"Surely if police really wanted to stop speeding that would setup dangerous traps on the road and start shooting people?"
Doesn't really make any sense, does it. They do what they can to stop pirating, without getting too ridiculous.
Something is being sniffed here, and I suspect it isn't chips.
Why do airport screeners get to have all the fun. Finally, Natalie Portman completely naked.

Hey, unfortunately it is not illegal to be an asshole, inept or incompetent. If it was, I would be writing this from behind prison bars.
The police are the wrong people to ask regarding the law. They don't really care what the law is per se, just what makes their lives easiest.
So different to lawyers, who don't really care what the law is per so, just what makes them the most amount of money.

Used to be. She has gotten very wide now.
Hated it at first too, now I love it. Give it a chance, don't fight change for the sake of it.
Haven't you seen the West Wing, they deliberately hired a Republican. Ainsley Hayes.

Because it is not the biggest issue in the world, nobody probably died, and most people don't want to legislate every little thing in the world.
The current government has been legislation happy, this is something that actually needs it.
No it does not. They do not get that many calls, most people use the service properly.

Well they could but it, rather than spending money on developing there own, with the advantage of a quality product, and an already formed community.
Win-Win.
What you describe is Lose-Lose-Lose, which is not good.
That is because it is hard to tell the talented people from everyone else, especially if you are in management and have no technical experience. Interviews, tests and code samples are the current methods used, and they are not great.
Yes, but much harder to steal a unit that is sitting in someones house/office rather than in their actual car. Surely most people remove them.
Should have painted it red, or put a racing stripe on it.
There is some, at least. In the US, that would be localization.
Yes, true, but that does involve a simple translator (or even search and replace).
Yes, but if you are stealing it, you get a better deal in Europe, where you end up saving more.
