So it's public domain, used by thousands but you can't say what it is and I couldn't possibly read about it? Not even a little hint?

Is it in Dan Brown's next novel by chance? You realize you make the whole thread sound like 'beef by-products', yes?

In this case, it is a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act (look up a few posts). That act is what keeps the military from doing civilian law enforcement. It ran afoul of it because an NCIS agent did a search on civilians.

The perp isn't terribly sympathetic in this case but the act is very important and calls for strict protection.

You're going to need a much more expensive black box to log enough to make the results unambiguous. They'll have to log enough information to make them prime targets for warrant-less searches for non-safety purposes.

The crazy prison population comes mainly from non-violent drug offenses.

Or they could quit designing cars to deliver the contents of the engine compartment to your lap.

First, your 'freebie' is ruinous to some people (we're talking living in a shelter losing the kids sort of ruinous). The second is ruinous to nearly anyone.

So don't do it, you say. Fine as soon as cops start only writing fair and just tickets without quotas AND as soon as traffic court runs the kangaroos out and takes the right to a fair trial seriously.

Until; those very unlikely things happen, perhaps a court ordered technological solution with NO fine is more appropriate.

No extension is needed at all if we had reasonable people in government (I know, belly laugh time) especially in the courts (OK, I'll stop before you break a rib).

So it was, in fact, developed by a non-capitalist system? Can you give me the title of the publication, I'd like to look it up.

I would need to know more about the non-profit (they're not all the same). Why not donate the idea to the public domain and publish the whole thing?

That sounds like a very good reason not to leave healthcare to capitalism. Truly a case of defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.

The library could offer VNC/RDP sessions to designated book reading machines.

That hasn't been true for a very long time.

Nobody's complaining about moving the cheese. They just figure that as long as it's moving anyway, the kitchen will be a better place than the toilet.

Everyone else's salary is a pittance next to the CEO's, but that doesn't seem to get the generosity going for them, why should it for the CEO?

There are any number of CEOs they could bring in from Europe and Asia who are accustomed to working for a tenth the price.
