Comment Re:Not for deaf/hard of hearing... (Score 2) 579

Please don't do an audio countdown. It doesn't work for us hard of hearing people.

Doesn't work for us that have our music players on. Plus you got the noise of the traffic, so it would need to be loud, which probably would then be heard by the cars, mainly if they have their window down and no music playing.

How about you use crappy LCD screens that you pretty much have to be in front of it to see, so the people in the cars would be at the wrong angle to see it?

But it is impossible to "not use any confidential information he had access to" without surgery. It's in your brain, you will use it if the situation arises.

He's lucky they didn't kill him.
In our state the cops have killed people with their batons, tasers, pistols and assault rifles for less than this. Of course, every time this happens the cops get off scott free without even a reprimand and with full paid leave during the "investigation" into the "incident". Cops are killing citizens left and right. These are not isolated incidenses but a problem with police mentality. Kill first, ask questions later.

oh, you must live in Washington State.

Comment Re:Seattle has a date? Nice!!! (Score 1) 61

I seriously doubt you've ever seen it in public here. I've lived here 42 years, and I have never seen marijuana in private, much less in public. It is still illegal to smoke in public even after this half-ass legalization attempt. In fact, this fake legalization effort has actually clarified the law on just how much more illegal it is now. The SPD will still ticket you. The ticket is only $27, but it certainly is illegal.

Born and raised in Seattle (45 years) and I can state for a fact that me & my friends have no problem smoking it outside, on the street. I pass by people almost every day on Capital Hill that are smoking since the decriminalization of it. Before that, I'd run into people smoking weed outside about once a week.

And I'm going to point out, if you've never seen anyone smoke marijuana in private, I'm not surprised you haven't seen anyone smoke it in public. You seem to have a very sheltered life, mainly if you lived in Seattle for 42 years and haven't seen any sight of the mighty marijuana. Shit, I grew up in this christian home, where we had to go to church and follow all those rules. I was a pretty naive kid and a bit sheltered, but I not only had seen marijuana by the time I was in 6th grade, I'd seen peeps smoke it and knew what it smelt like. Yes, in Seattle, the place you claim no one smokes.

We don't care if smoking outside is illegal. We didn't care that smoking weed was illegal a year ago when we smoked it, we didn't care 20 years ago when we were smoking it. It didn't stop us. So thinking that saying it's illegal and you'll get ticketed by the Seattle Pigs is really pointless. We don't give a fuck. Either take a hit off that joint, or pass it.

Comment Re:Gardeners have already known this (Score 1) 67

Shh. If you tell people that they won't know that this has been known since we started agriculture. As a useful tip: Planting tobacco plants mixed with plants that are sensitive to pest infestations will help minimize it.

I heard what is better is to plant marijuana between your corn plants.

Comment Seattle has a date? Nice!!! (Score 1) 61

Well it's about time someone takes out Seattle. Ever since we legalized marijuana, Seattle has just been sitting in a cloud of smoke. I think a date with Amazon will provide the kick Seattle needs to break out of this pot haze and become a productive city of the USA again!

Comment Re:False Warnings? (Score 1) 135

How about a fine and prison for making a false complaint or warning about a copyright violation?

Honestly, I don't know why companies don't do this. If I was Google, I'd charge like $1000 for every false/incorrect DMCA notice delivered. If the person/company refused to pay,then I would stop processing DMCA notices from that person/company.

Comment Re:Ruling doesn't change much. (Score 2) 560

If you read the ruling, the court admits that the only reason they said the defendant could be compelled to decrypt his data was because he had already admitted to the police that he was involved in the case, and that the details of his involvement were on the hard drive. I'm sure if he had kept silent the entire time and told them nothing, it would've been a different story.

I don't agree. Even if he admitted he as involved, giving up any evidence of his involvement is self-incrimination. They don't know how much he was involved and his evidence would show that. Obviously if he gives it to them, it will show exactly what he was doing, thus proving he was guilty, which would be self-incrimination if he gives it.

They need to prove he broke the law with other evidence, then what he has encrypted, because legally, they aren't allowed to have him give up the info.
