Terrans vs Night Elves.

its until proven to NOT be the disaster of the week ala:
west nile
SARS
avian flu
monkey pox
..whatever,

default response is: intarwebz overblown doomsday disaster of the week response in effect. Meh.

double redundancy triples the cost. they'll send you the bill.

Im sorry but I have mod you down, that informative post from a first hand account does not support my pre-conceived notion that all Americans are civilian murdering war mongers.

Yes, because accidental friendly fire on our Canadian allies is the exactly the same as the deliberate kidnapping of non-hostile citizens from other nations. As far as a few individuals who got sent to Gitmo or Syria, they were Muslim extremists who *happened* to be Canadians. Moron.

modded up for "metric cockton of assholery"!

just like slashdot to argue over the goddamned name of the technology and avoid actually discussing the tech itself.

open source and the business profit model are in general incompatible.

I know you are all sheltered nerds and everything, but this isn't about IP, or any such silly thing. For a biker, his gang patch/colors is damn near sacrosanct. The cops know this, and by being able to just take it anytime they want, its a form of humiliation. It like taking a persons of faiths cross/hijab/torah whatever just because.

When I was younger and worked in fire/rescue, we were actually trained to NEVER take a bikers jacket off in an emergency without permission from the biker or if he was unconscious his friends. Yes, they were that rabid about it. This is about humiliation, and the cops rubbing salt in the wound, to let them know whose boss. For guys who value independence and strength, its a big deal. HUMILATION, not IP or law enforcement. I for one find this very disturbing. Since when is it the polices job to humiliate and degrade people because of their affiliations? Oh wait.
