The student was already leaving the library when the officers showed up. They didn't need to touch him at all.
Will you READ the post you're responding to? YEAH, once the police got there he dropped the tough guy bit and tried to run away. Too bad at this point he is being accused of CRIMINAL TRESPASSING. The police HAVE to take him at this point. He was resisting arrest, on top of all the rest.
I would've gotten as many students as I could together, pulled the police off of him
As much as I doubt YOU would do that, there is that possibility. Who knows what all those stupid college kids would have done? Especially notice the kid yelling at them to attack the police.
You've got most of this completely wrong, sorry. Here's a hint - the video doesn't show everything. Another hint - he WAS handcuffed. Yet another hint - once the police have been called for trespassing, "cooperating" doesn't involve trying to run away when you're being questioned.
It's obvious what should happen? I'm glad you are omniscient. How about YOU try to respond to a trespassing call as a police officer, while surrounded by 50 idiot college kids screaming at you with an EXTREMELY suspicious individual also screaming nonsense at you and trying to incite the stupid kids to attack you.
The officers did what they were supposed to do when confronted with a non-cooperative individual who is lying limply, goading you to bend over him (so he can stick something in your eye? knife you?) Unfortunately, this is California, so the moron will probably win money anyway.
2) whether the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others; The guy is a student who fell to the ground and did not move. He did not fight, nor raise a fist, nada!
um, have you watched the video? listen for him yelling for the other 50 students to attack the police.
I graduated from Georgia Tech last year after finishing the 4 year CS degree.
We had multiple classes that had a whole "software development process," and I'd honestly look pretty skeptically at any CS program that doesn't. We had a Senior Design course that was required to graduate, and a required Software Engineering class that encompassed the whole "process." We had to go through the same type of process in a couple other CS electives. To be a bit more clear, the "process" was stuff like documentation and writing papers.
Having said that...I always took on the "master coder" role in our groups and stuck other people with the other stuff. I don't regret it, I've certainly never had to do anything besides code and test my own code now that I'm a developer. Granted, I never WANT to do general project planning/document writing/etc, while some people may find that desirable. Managers probably make more money. Don't know, don't care. I speak and type English very well, if too succinctly, and that's about the extent of my non-coding required skills. I hope to never have to write a 50 page requirements document.
Anyway, to the submitter, you're missing one huge aspect: teamwork. If you're going to try to teach The Real World, then students need to work with others.
Yes, we conservatives are way too stupid to know who Sacha Baron Cohen is, we just laugh at the stupid foreigner while singing the U.S. national anthem.
I believe in reducing government, cutting taxes, and cracking down on illegal immigration. I also got the "subtleties" in Borat, and picked up on the biting social commentary. I've loved Da Ali G show for a couple of years now, especially Borat. I realize there's plenty of racists in the U.S. and I laughed heartily at them yesterday while watching Borat. You, sir, are every bit as bigoted as them if you believe your "conservative xenophobes" statement.
Here's to hoping an extremely fat naked man lays his scrotum on your mustache.
In our society "I'm not racist" is true about as often as "I don't have a drinking problem" is true in a bar.
Yes, because EVERYBODY in a bar has a drinking problem! There's no stereotypes at all in your statement, really.
I've certainly been to plenty of bars plenty of times with plenty of different friends who don't have drinking problems...I'm also pretty sure I don't have a problem, because sheer laziness has kept me from restocking my fridge with beer since my case ran out 3 weeks ago. Perhaps I'm just hiding it from myself, though...you said it, so it has to be true./cry
11 more steps to go for me! Or is that 10 more? I will learn when I start attending AA, I suppose.
At 15 or 16 I read a book on HTML, made friends with the Computer teacher and the Technology teacher, wrote the school's website, did other schools' websites for a little money, and in the process stumbled upon a Perl/CGI job. It wasn't a great job, but it beat bagging lamps at Target and paid about the same. I picked up some bad tendencies there, but nothing that didn't get beaten out of me at GaTech. My little bit of experience also helped me get offers for every Co-Op position I interviewed for despite my mediocre GPA after my first year of college.
Stayed at that co-op, graduated on a Friday morning, started full-time making good money on Monday morning...got bought out twice and now, a year later, I'm at a $70B company and do important work. It helped that I was self-motivated during my co-op years.
We do a lot of outsourcing to Romania in our division/office, but like people have commented, they don't get interesting work. Good developers' jobs aren't in danger from outsourcing.
It would seriously be...difficult to find a tech job at 17 with no education...some people do, and great for them. Try if you can, but don't get discouraged if you can't. I don't know about other schools, but Georgia Tech's co-op program was fantastic, and I think that programs like that are a huge help, in general. I have quite a few friends who graduated close to when I did with the same degree...and the difference in co-op students vs. non-co-op students is dramatic and stark. It's hard to get a job with no experience.
Interesting, I didn't know "gov't should have nothing to do with marriage" was an official position of the Libertarians. That's what I've been saying for a while. Mark another point for the Libertarians.
I guess it makes sense, though...it's not the government's place to have anything to do with that. And of course Fair Tax would end giving tax breaks to married couples, which is the only reason I could see for government having their hands in laws concerning marriage. (Health insurance usually doesn't require you to be married anymore, just have a "domestic partner," so that point is also out.)
While I'll be voting Libertarian come next presidential election, I always find that particular quiz a bit unfair... Most people who take it end up Libertarian, and, funnily enough, the Advocates for Self Government is a Libertarian organization.
I have total control of the voting machines, and I'm going to fix the election. I need some help though...I have a hard decision to make...
Should I a) let the voter choose whatever he or she wants, and then assign all the votes to my candidate? or b) randomly have the machine reassign input to choose my candidate, giving them a chance to verify and correct their vote?
I just don't know...this is such a tough decision...I must not be cut out for this election stealing business.
The improvements I'm talking about are coming from the other direction. There are products available today that you SHOULDN'T be able to buy--take GM H2's for instance. Impractical, and disproportionately unhealthy for the environment.
Hrm, where can I sign up to join you in the Young Totalitarians? Sounds like a blast! I bet it's fun telling people what's practical or impractical for them.
(personally hate SUVs, and currently paying out the nose to drive a premium-gas-guzzling rx-8)
At work I have 2 19" monitors running 1600x1200...I'm a developer, not a graphic designer or anything...sometimes I wish I had a better graphics card so windows could actually be moved without jerking around everywhere...or the machine wouldn't freeze up while a ton of text was scrolling in a console window.
I always liked Private Helicopter on that cd...and absolutely loved Problems and Bigger Ones. I got one of the first in-dash MP3 players (Aiwa CDC-MP3) in 2000, and before that I was listening to radio...ugh...anyway Harvey Danger got a lot of airplay with Sad Sweetheart of the Rodeo from the second cd. For some reason nobody remembers that one; I suppose it's because it never reached the huge success of Flagpole Sitta. Oh well
It's such an incremental upgrade that you'd have to be a spec-pert to have any idea what's changed.
This weekend we get to buy everything without sales tax in Georgia. (Actually that may only be good for school-related items, I think clothes, computers, school supplies, etc) My sister's starting at georgia tech next month, and I convinced her to get an ibook. We've been looking at them for a month or so...the upgrade is actually very pleasing. For the same price the ram is upgraded, bigger hard drives, better optical drives, bluetooth built in, better video card, faster processor, the powerbook tilt sensor, and a new trackpad that scrolls when you use 2 fingers. It may be incremental, but if you were stewing about whether or not to buy bluetooth, or whether to pay apple's outrageous prices for ram or go buy a stick and put it in yourself...the upgrade is very welcome.
this is an amazing comment, and it certainly is right. I play wow, I've been playing since day #1 (with a small break)...got my warrior to 33, realized they suck, took up a shaman, it's now at 59, and warriors are good again...i'm seeing end game content and the game is great. have a girlfriend and a job and go to school, try to play whenever i can. i've been trying to level up, haven't played PvP a whole lot (only a sergeant, rank 3), and get pissed sometimes when i'm killed by alliance ("they have no life blah blah blah")...
in a good guild (Death and Destruction on Skullcrusher), able to play end game instances, working on my blue shaman (elemental) set, will be able to run MC sometimes...the game is fun. I shouldn't get so worked up about those kids that get to play 24/7...and to think if i had had mod points i would have just marked this +1 insightful instead of replying
If you're using tabbrowser extensions, don't. I did for a long time and finally figured out that it was making firefox suck. I now use Sessionsaver and MiniT (to drag tabs around)
Back when aqua teens were still coming out I'd bittorrent the new episode the next morning at an average of >500KB/s (with it going over 1.1MB/s near the end)
It all depends on the popularity of the torrent (and making sure you forward a port if you're behind a NAT)
The problem I bet is all the dependencies. I suspect someone will tackle native KDE/Win, but if so it will take a long time, because Windows coders won't get excited enough to help until it's far enough along development.
It'll take a while for Qt apps to get built for native Windows (longer than it did for GTK apps like Ethereal to be ported to Win32 native)
if it'll get amaroK running on windows, I'll certainly try to help with the effort. I've known about it for a long time, but I just recently used it (extensively) for the first time...what a lovely piece of software
At a reporter's request, Navin ran "The Interpreter" through the search engine, and the top result was an illicit copy of the Nicole Kidman film -- still in theaters -- offered on The Pirate Bay
i lost a tiny screw on the bottom of mine, and the battery cover wouldn't stay closed. I never realized this was a widespread problem...never thought about a rubber band...
Man, that thing plugged into the parallel port...how's that for nostalgia.
