  3. Re:SD and not micro SD is useless on Netflix Will Now Let Android Users Download Content Onto SD Storage (consumerist.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    For clarity, I am currently downloading a video onto my MicroSD card from my Android app. So yes, "SD Card" is generalized to "external storage". I have no idea what the consumerist.com write-up means by "The feature doesn’t support any Android devices that have a microSD slot, either".

    Here's the source of the DoJ stat:

    Unfortunately, there aren't really any consistent and nation-wide statistics on the race of people killed by police (no national database with consistent reporting), but here are some stats:

    http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub... (Table 5, pg 22)
    2003-2009, 2011: whites make up a bigger percentage (47.8%) of deaths than blacks (28.4%)

    https://www.washingtonpost.com...
    2015: 990 people shot by police. 494 (49.9%) white, 258 (26.1%) black, 172 (17.4%) hispanic, 38 other, 28 unknown

    https://www.washingtonpost.com...
    2016 so far: 509 total. 238 (46.8%) white, 123 (24.2%) black
    we are 190 days into this year, which is a leap year (190/366 ... 52% through the year)
    If you forward-project based on the current average, there will be 978 police shootings in 2016, 458 white and 237 black

    http://www.theguardian.com/us-...
    The Guardian has different numbers: 569 total. 279 whites. 137 black
    If you use per-million numbers: 3.25 blacks/million, 1.41 whites/million

  6. Do they not watch Mythbusters? If nothing else, Mythbusters has taught me that pigs are awesome human body analogues. ...at least better than sacks of potatoes. That being said, potatoes would be easier to strap into the seats than a bunch of living (or dead) pigs. better smelling too.
