I completely agree with you. I absolutely love the concept this artist has done. But I would not buy and hang one of these pictures in my home because it looks like he spent a whole 2 minutes blending the images together.
In Europe we got Universal Health Care due to the principals of solidarity towards your fellow human beings.
Oh ya, that's TOTALLY why you have Universal Health Care. (roll's eyes)
Here's a news flash for you buddy. UHC has never worked anywhere in the world as well as the US's private health care. Not that the US's health care system is perfect by any means, but it's way better then any socialist health care that's out there.
The Brits like cameras? So what? Do you have the slightest idea about the kind of security they get from those?
Yes I do know the kind of security you get from CCTV. Absolutely none! Cameras might help catch the person who killed/raped/robbed you AFTER THE FACT, but what good is that? The damage is done. Who needs a camera for security when you can just carry a 9mm? Then the only person who gets hurt is the IDIOT who tried to commit a crime against you.
Your post can be summarized into two words: Common Sense!:-)
I had never heard of comic books having scripts before, but when I read it in the article summary it made sense to me. What we need in this world is more people with common sense. Unfortunately, it seems that the TSA prefers to hire only those WITHOUT it.
Guantanamo bay didn't happen in another country, it happened on a US military base that happened to be in Cuba. US military bases are US soil.
Sorry, but your wrong.
Your confusing Guantanamo Bay Naval Base with the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. Two totally different places.
The whole argument with the detention camp was that it was NOT U.S. Soil, therefore, they could get away with things like torture, no legal counsel, indefinite incarceration, etc.
Have you ever gone to court? There's a reason why a lot of companies / people settle out-of-court. It's the most painless way to make a problem go away.
But if you (innocent or not) would rather spend $100,000 to satisfy your pride instead of paying $1,000 to settle out-of-court, then be my guest.
There's a right time to fight for principles, but most of the time its better to just settle out-of-court and get back to your life. It's sad that its that way, but that's reality.
(Don't forget the long hours and major stress it causes to go to court.)
Yahoo is being sued by it's shareholders. Falcon Sorry Falcon, your wrong.
Yahoo is being sued by its shareholders.
It's is a contraction of "it is" or "it has." Its is the possessive form of "it."
The confusion between it's and its occurs because on virtually every other word 's indicates possession, so English speakers naturally want to use it's to mean "something belonging to it." But it's is only used when it's a contraction of it is or it has.
The ironclad rule - no exceptions - is that if you can replace the word with "it is" or "it has," use it's. Otherwise, it's always its.
Blame the politicians. They are the ones who choose the system. (I'm not being flippant. That's who chooses it. There are two companies in Utah fighting it out to provide Dispatch software. The dominant company sucks!)
I do consider what happened to that family. Maybe you should too. The cops did nothing wrong. It was all the hackers fault. Period! Even the family agrees with that (from everything I've read in the news about this).
This is the problem with people like you. You lump 98% of the good cops with the 2% of the severely misguided ones. Typical. My condolences.
When law enforcement takes a life, they should not pay for it. They have to make a decision in half a second while assholes like you get to sit around for 6 months afterwards and decide if it was "justified".
Cops are taking risks that your not willing to take in order to keep you safe. They deserve the benefit of the doubt. Yes, sometimes there are some cops who go to far on purpose and they do get punished for it. But it's stupid to lump all cops in that category.
At the end of the day, I want all cops to go home to their families. If that means I accidentally get shot and possibly killed, so be it.
This is a much more serious case of negligence on the part of the police department. Perhaps they should be banned from using the Internet? Sorry Asshat, but there is ZERO negligence from the police department. They did everything 100% correctly. Legally, ethically, and morally.
No, your wrong. The blame should solely be on the specific individual who broke into the system.
No one else did anything wrong!!!! SWAT responded correctly. Legally, morally, and ethically.
Next time read the article. All he did was change the address of where the call appeared to be originating from. He still physically called 911 on his home phone and told them people were being murdered AT THAT VERY MOMENT!
But it still show the officers didn't investigate it before making decision. Just put the hackers and the SWAT in jail. Did you even read the article? Your an idiot.
SWAT did an awesome job. Way to go SWAT!!!!
Why don't you tell us how SWAT should have "investigated" this?
FTFA:
A supposed teenager stated someone had overdosed on cocaine. The teenager then stated he had been shot in the shoulder and that attackers were going to go shoot and kill his sister. How else should SWAT have responded? What reason should they have had to stop and go, "hmmmm.... this sounds fake. Let's just send a patrol car over to check it out."
I'm sorry, but anyone one Slashdot blaming SWAT, the Police, 911 Dispatch, or anyone other then the hacker is a fucking moron.
He didn't put anyone's lives in danger. The 911 center did, by using systems which can be spoofed by any fucktard with a cell phone. How about you don't be so fucking stupid????
The only one to blame here is the hacker. The dumb ass hacker put innocent peoples lives in danger. Not the cops, not SWAT, not 911 dispatch! No one but the hacker. He's an idiot. I hope he gets 25 years for this.
Congratulations to SWAT for being able to end the situation without killing anyone. It shows how well trained they are.
For every "guilty" person shot by SWAT you can find about 10 innocent people shot by SWAT. Bullshit! Prove that statement. Does SWAT screw up sometimes? Yes. It's sucks, but they don't screw up as much as your saying.
I've done civilian trainings with SWAT and those guys are damn good. If I'm ever in a hostage situation, I want SWAT there because I have full confidence in them saving me. I've seen them in action. They are awesome.
It does suck when an innocent person gets hurt or killed. But your just flat out wrong.
Wrong. T1 = 2 Lines. I have one at my house. A T1 can transmit 24 64K "channels" over those 2 lines (1 line for RX, 1 line for TX). Those 24 channels can be used for either voice, data, or a combination of both. But it's still only 2 pairs (4 wires).
Then it's time to complain about the dispatcher getting it wrong rather than say, "Well, they might have gotten it wrong, so I'll endanger others just in case they did." We do complain when dispatch screws up. What makes the problem worse is that it is not just one dispatcher making mistakes, it is many of them. And its frustrating that nothing is being done to correct these mistakes. There is waaaaaaay to much politics involved in emergency services and it makes things difficult for everyone involved.
"Oh, that dispatcher is always full of shit. We'll drive slowly and carefully," We always err on the side of caution and get there as fast as we safely can. There have been to many stories on the news over the last year of dispatch treating an emergency as a non-emergency and someone dying because of it.
To me, the dispatcher is the person who knows the most about what is going on and is able to judge how much of an "emergency" exists. I completely disagree. The person on-scene who is trained for that particular emergency is best able to judge the situation. We've had officers first on scene to a fire alarm tell us to respond 10-40 (no lights/sirens) because they couldn't see any fire. The first fire fighter arrives and then immediately calls out 3 other fire stations to help control the blaze in the center of the building that the officer missed.
That's why we never tell another agency how to respond. They respond according to their own protocols and so do we. Emergency Services are broken up into specialized groups for a reason. If we had one agency that handled police/fire/ems/swat/etc people would be dying left and right.
But if there's no emergency, there is no reason for police or firefighters to be deciding otherwise and break the law. But you don't know that until someone qualified arrives. So at a fire, the first arriving fire truck makes the call on how the rest of the fire trucks will respond (if they are even needed). Just like at a crime scene the first arriving officer makes the call on how the other units need to respond, whether it's 10-40, or 10-33 (Help me NOW!).
Oh yes it is their job to second-guess dispatch. I'm a firefighter and dispatch gets it wrong ALL THE TIME.
For example: Two months ago our department was paged out for a roof collapse. Supposedly ice build-up on the roof had caused it to cave in over the master bedroom. When we got there the roof was completely intact. The real reason we were paged out? The homeowner was afraid a big chunk of ice was going to fall off the roof and break a basement window.
During a real emergency it can get even worse because the people who called 911 (dispatch) are panicking and freaking out.
As for cops running red lights... I'm all for it. I've run them plenty of times in the fire truck. Under Utah law, it's allowed, as long as you don't further endanger the public.
"Piercing the Corporate Veil" is not as easy as you imply. Don't mix your personal and business funds and treat your business like a business and not your "alter ego" and the person suing you won't be able to get to you personally. http://www.expertlaw.com/library/business/corporat e_veil.html

Maybe I should clarify (since this is slashdot).
Any time I've violated traffic laws in the fire truck I have been responding to an emergency.
Oh yes it is their job to second-guess dispatch. I'm a firefighter and dispatch gets it wrong ALL THE TIME.
