  4. Re:Lost a lawsuit? on Apple Now Relaying All FaceTime Calls Due To Lost Patent Dispute · · Score: 1

    "Just ask Obama to overturn the ruling."
    Requesting the legislative branches not to allocate resources for enforcement is more the current administrations' style.

  5. Absolutely on Should Cops Wear Google Glass? · · Score: 1

    It should be a requirement. They are public servants operating in a public environment. When issuing a summons, the recorded event should be a requirement demonstrating probable cause. Judges should require presentation of the recorded event during the arraignment. Sounds like transparency to me. Nothing wrong with that. Following arraignment let the jurist decide applicability and culpability.

  6. Re:Wage scale is wrong on Experiences and Realities of an Homesourced IT Worker · · Score: 2

    $20 an hour goes fairly far in Central and S. America and most of Asia. It puts you in the top 10% of wage earners.

  10. Re: Wake up on Rise of the Warrior Cop: How America's Police Forces Became Militarized · · Score: 1

    Seems to me if you are in a location similar to what you mentioned, providing a service in a questionable area, you're in the safest locale. I don't think anyone would mess with you..

    BTW.. since when was pizza so popular with crack heads?

  11. Kinda bold isn't it? on Twitter Co-Founder Biz Stone To Facebook: Start a Premium Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    Coming from a guy who's company's income is roughly 1/3rd of FB's advertising income. http://articles.latimes.com/2013/mar/27/business/la-fi-mo-twitter-ad-revenue-billion-2014-20130327

  12. I don't like where things seem to be heading... on UK Regulator Did Not Check Google Privacy Claims · · Score: 0

    with Google's G+ forced migration, but I can't think of anything they have lied about and they have basically always told me what they would do when I opted to use their services. And I don't know of any blatant misrepresentation they have ever made. What other top tier company can this be said about?

  17. Re:Nice try, asshole on Snowden Offered Asylum By Venezuelan President · · Score: 2

    That's why 1/3rd of the countries occupation is thief. And why when 40 are killed in a weekend in Caracas, it's normal. Venuzuela is a shithole, and a super dangerous place por gringos.

    I never felt more relieved than when I crossed the border to Colombia after leaving that shithole.

  20. Re: thermoplastic construction on "Anti-Gravity" 3D Printer Sculpts Shapes On Any Surface · · Score: 3, Informative

    While LKQ is also company it's an abbreviation for "like kind and quality", IE: aftermarket parts. Which isn't necessarily bad, but can be. If you insurer is requiring use of LKQ parts, you need a better insurer.
