"Many prisoners released early may not wind up being re-incarcerated, according to Brown. The law requires the state to give day-for-day credit in most cases to a prisoner who has been released early and hasnâ(TM)t been found to break any laws since, he said."

Find me anyone who hasn't broken any laws in a given day, week, or month! As many respectable sources point out, you break the law every day without even knowing it: e.g. http://www.washingtonsblog.com... If you don't feel like reading, watch here from 5:18 to 6:18, or even further until to 7:18 for some fun examples. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

War is not preventable - rather it is an everlasting tool of last resort to prevent any other undesired action of an adversary.

I'm fucking stuck with Android or that other piece of turd with a fruit logo.

There's always Blackberry.

No, it is not on the decline.

Most new disruptive technology players start out with an offering that is in some way weaker than incumbent players. But after a few years, having taken some market share and having built up some cash, they end up with an offering that is better than what's available from pre-existing companies.

This could be the side effect of an underwater alien power plant.

There you go, you've solved the problem. Put the "dodge the pothole" rule above the "stay between the lane lines" rule, but below the "mow down little timmy" rule.

Sucks to be little timmy.

E911 does not negate the key advantage of POTS, which is that it will work when electrical service it out. All the new-fangled phone service over cable and FIOS will be dead in a power outage.

He was a child to his parents. He would have remained a child to his parents into his old age. Children should not die before their parents, not matter their age. The fact that you cannot grasp these simple truths leaves me completely stumped.

I would imagine that anyone making jokes about this has no children. To anyone with kids, the thought of something like this happening is simply gut-wrenching. But since relations with the opposite sex are required for procreation, I guess the tasteless jokes and, what's worse, modding up of such, is to be expected here.

So how does the sequence of (1) "Am I Under Arrest", (2) "Can I Go Now?" work during a traffic stop?

WOW, amazing. Just checked the site. Just....amazing. Since 2004, about 2 million probes taken. Based on DNA test, about 28000 were convicted. Translated, about 1% positive hit. Money collected for this purpose: 280 million dollars. No comment....

So about $10K per conviction. Not a bad rate.

From Starship Troopers written by Robert A. Heinlein (1959):
"The historians can't seem to settle whether to call this one "The Third Space War" (or the "Fourth"), or whether "The First Interstellar War" fits it better. We just call it "The Bug War" if we call it anything, which we usually don't and in any case the historians date the beginning of "war" after the time I joined my first outfit and ship. Everything up to then and still later were "incidents," "patrols," or "police actions." However, you are just as dead if you buy the farm in an "incident" as you are if you buy it in a declared war."
P.S. the book is nothing like like movie

This here looks like a very realistic response. Mod it up!
