There are plenty of actual human being that don't have a conscience, why would you assume a new intelligence would automatically have one?

There are many more cases of the SWAT team going to a wrong address or having bad information for other reasons and shooting innocent people than there are of SWATTING. Giving hard time to people who commit SWATTING would not address the larger problem of police that are out of control and want to shoot everything that moves.

It in pretty regular that the dog will be shot no matter what the situation, even if the people there are all innocent bystanders. It has also happened that grenades have been thrown into baby cribs. It was a flash grenade, but it still killed the baby. And there are elderly people in bed killed when the SWAT team breaks down their door. There are even web sites that keep track of all the hostile and inappropriate actions by SWAT teams.

Maybe the real problem is the swat teams that are sooo eager to rush out and use all that fancy weaponry they get to play with! Perhaps we should blame the parents of the cops for all the police shooting that are occurring throughout this country.

So you are saying that all women are weak minded little pussies that can't take a joke! Are you sure you believe they are equals to men or do you actually believe that they are substandard and we should all tip-toe around them because they can't handle adult conversations. Are they allowed to hunt and kill animals if they want, or should we keep them locked up in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant? Your views seem old fashioned to me.

Don't forget the flakes!

Which the article summary itself mentions happened last year at this time. If I lived there and found this to be a large inconvenience, I would certainly look at getting an older second car just to avoid this stupid law. Thus the rest of the year there are possibly more cars on the road and not less. And on these days of even-odd cars, you will have more than you would have had if people didn't buy a second car. It is called unintended consequences, and it happens a lot when politicians get involved in things.

Bing also likes to return pages of malware infested software instead of the real product you are looking for. I noticed this the first time when I accidentally installed a malware infected version of Chrome because IE put it at the top of the search. I suspect that they will figure people won't want to use Chrome if it comes with all the pop-up ads and crap, but I just attribute it to Microsoft's evil underhanded ways and refuse to use IE or Bing anytime I have a choice.

Why would a company make a locally run version of Siri only to loose out on all the extra money they could make from analyzing the "Big Data". I don't think it is as simple as saying if they could do it, they would. Stand-alone GPS units from a decade ago could hold a map of all the roads in the USA for routing you to your location. Does Google Maps have the roads locally stored or do they send your current location and target destination to their servers so they can get more data on you?

Or they could just move to a country without the freedoms that they fear so greatly!

Except back then even cannons were owned by private citizens. Had a battle coming up and needed a cannon? Start talking to the well-to-do in the town to see who can bring out their big weaponry.

This is about the stupidest response I have heard. How long are you going to wait while being killed or raped for the chance to get a phone to call the police and then wait some more for them to show up. If you get the chance to grab the phone, you also have the chance to grab the gun. One situation you might save your life, the other is where the police inspect your dead body for clues as to who did it. Police don't prevent crime, they chase after it when it is all over.

Yeah, us Americans had such an easy time with those simple minded desert dwellers in Iraq, didn't we. Just take a look at the combat we have been in lately and you can easily see that a bunch of guys with AR-15s can do quite a lot against the full on US military.

And in this very case the people that were first put behind bars were thought to be innocent and the police did a horrible job at actually using evidence to figure out who did it. So yeah, being innocent does not mean you won't end up in prison.

Cats also display wave-particle duality when stuck into a box with a radioactive particle, Geiger counter, hammer, and a vial of poison gas.

To me it sounds like everybody can just get an extra 40 minutes of sleep each day. What is wrong with that!
