I had a horrible incident with the police in St. Louis MO... Sorry so long, but this deserves hearing.
I was stopped at a security checkpoint coming out of the airport. The airport has a post off that is open til 11PM. I worked at home repair electronics and reselling them on eBay. I would never get stopped coming into the airport, but without exception coming out of the airport. Which in itself is very funny.
One night, as usual, a "security" guard waved his flashlight and I pulled over.
He walked up and asked why I didn't stop when he told me to. I told him that I obviously did stop, since he was standing next to me speaking. Then I added that he never "asked" me to do anything, he waved a flashlight, and I had stopped just like I'd always done.
He then told me if I spoke another word, I'd be there all night.
I responded with a cheerful, "Fuck you".
He got on his radio and called his supervisor, and informed this person that I would not let him search my truck. The truck with the open bed and four rolled down windows and unlocked doors that he hadn't mentioned to me yet... His supervisor showed up a minute later and pulled him aside (3 feet) and asked him what was going on. He continued lieing, and I spoke up and told her what had really happened. She asked if they could search my vehicle and I responded sure. The security guard with the shitty attitude flashed his light in the back of the truck and said, "You're good". I laughed and commented on how thorough his search was and drove away. I never left my vehicle.
The next night, same thing, same guy. "IF YOU SAY ONE WORD I'LL KEEP YOU HERE ALL NIGHT". Not caring, I repeated my favorite explitive, "Fuck you". Same thing over. The supervisor showed up. Same thing, yet this time after I explained my situation, I told her, "You should get a handle on your boy over there". The nut job security guard freaked out and reached through the rear window of my four door truck and tried to hit me in the back of the head. I said, "Did you see that" to his supervisor, who responded, "No". Then he punched me in the face through the driver side window. The supervisor pushed him back and got on her radio.
The police showed up momentarily (they have a station at the airport). And proceded to interview us both. Only at this time did I levae my vehicle. They sat me down on the sidewalk and went off to discuss among themselves. I asked why I was still being held, and was informed that I was going to jail. I was totally shocked. I asked what I did wrong and they stated that they'd get to that when I got to the station.
I was handcuffed put in a cop car, and taken to the station, and before I got into the building, the "sargeant" stopped us all and asked where I was from. I told him Arkansas, and he stated, "We don't need your hillbilly ass up here doing this kind of shit.". I was charged with disorderly conduct, fingerprinted and questioned. I was told that I called the security guard a nigger and that the incident wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been a jerk. I asked which law prohibited me from being a jerk, and was asked in response if I'd like to spend the night in the jail or go home...
They did give me a ride back to my truck, which they didn't impound... Along the way I was informed that the security guard would most likely loose his job, and I asked, "Don't you think he needs to?".
Long story short, they gave us both the same court date, I skated because I brought a lawyer (to a misdemeanor), the security guard got fined.
Long story even shorter: FUCK ST. LOUIS POLICE THEY SUCK COCK. And I'm not slamming anyone who sucks cock by preference, I could care less about your skin color, or your sexual preference. I just hate god-complex having, self-righteous, dickheaded bigots, which cover 99% of all police. This was the main reason I moved away from St. Louis and back to my native Arkansas.
I support video taping of any official. Oh and I'm not really an "eXFeLoN", I just like the handle...it's funny.
And what does DRM have to do with your productivity? DRM is only an issue if you are using DRM protected media. Most/.'s aren't, thus, no issue.
I for one welcome our new 40 million license selling overlords. Wait, they're not really that new, are they...
I for one welcome our iron nucleied plastic fake blood jaemoglobin overlords..
Is there no open source text editing / word processing software that has a spellchecker? I say this because no full blooded (hah) poster would dare use a word processor that had to be paid for....
Just for those of you who don't know, big dell customers can get their machines any way they choose. We have 4000+ computers, plus 2 huge server farms, and we get butt-loads of new dells in everyday, all preconfigured with XP Pro... If we want one with Vista, we tell them. It will be 16 months to 2 years before we start putting vista machines into our production environment...
I for one welcome our new multi-core overlords.
But really, outside the server environment, what would this be used for? And who (in their right mind) would run a server of this price caliber that uses OSX?
I mean this is like a $10K ipod, and it still doesn't have an FM tuner...
120000? We (my company) have 2, 1 H1 and 1 H2, and each has over 180K on them. Please don't bash me because of this, I don't own the company, but I sure do enjoy driving these monsters.
We don't need more people pulling numbers out of their ass like you just did.
I'd say the hummers will last much longer than any year model Prius...
Costly production in Taiwan? Is this new? I'm under the impression that's why the production is in Taiwan, because of cheap labor manual or otherwise...

But really, since when does owning ANY car make someone morally superior to another?
