Pervasive surveillance by law enforcement is a bad thing. Pervasive surveillance of law enforcement is a good thing. And that is what these body cams are: They aren't recording anything that police officers aren't already seeing with their own eyes. Instead, these cameras create a record of officers' actions -- a record that keeps them accountable for said actions.

Sorry, I meant no one who is alive today knew him when he wrote the books and short stories. Why should his descendants still have cla to them?

There is a big difference between "was born in 1901" and "published novels and short stories in 1901." No one who is alive today knew Arthur Conan Doyle.

TFS said it was the Ontario Provincial Police that gave the recommendation, not the RCMP.

Again with all these conspiracy theories about Western involvement in Ukraine. The thing about conspiracy theories is that they never hold up when you apply common sense.

There is only one major nation for which the situation in Ukraine is of critical importance: Russia. If EU membership led to a flood of Gean, French, and British investment in Ukrainian oil production, Russia would no longer have a monopoly on oil exports to the rest of Europe. This would be a disaster for the Russian oil oligarchs that keep Putin in power. From the perspective of EU businessmen, however, it matters little whether they invest in Ukraine or Russia. Meanwhile, the average American probably wouldn't even be able to point Ukraine out on a map.

So who has the vested interest in interfering in Ukrainian politics? Moreover, who has a history of interfering in Ukrainian politics? That's right, Russia. Are you forgetting that the KGB tried to assassinate Yushchenko in 2014? Of course Russia and their lackey Yanukovych claimed that Yushchenko poisoined and nearly killed himself to win sympathy from voters, because that is something that a sane person would do. (Note the heavy sarcasm.)

So no, the protests in Kiev were not engineered by the CIA; they were grassroots. Just because you read it on RIA Novosti, doesn't make it true.

Unarmed protesters getting shot and killed by government police is a "violent overthrow of the government"? Your utterly warped "memory" of events is disgusting. As far as this conspiracy theory about US involvement, find me one person in Kiev who acknowledges the presence of CIA. I doubt you will find a single one, but there are dozens of rebel leaders in Donetsk who are proud to say that they have KGB handlers.

If you're one of the select few that are so wealthy that you own enough stock to be able to vote out an unpopular CEO (or block a grassroots shareholder movement to do the same), you're either the CEO or his yachting buddy.

Yes, and liberals such as myself contend that marriage is a human right. If tolerance means allowing gay individuals to have human rights, then they must have the right to marriage.

Sorry, replied to the wrong person.

You're missing the point. If Macy's sells a shirt for 50 USD and decides to keep those 50 USD in the bank, are they "speculating on the value of the dollar." Technically yes, but that certainly isn't how Macy's is thinking about it. The USD is is stable enough that holding onto USD is not considered speculation or investment. It is considered saving. That's what it means to be a currency. Until Bitcoin can also act as a medium of savings rather than a medium of speculation and investment, it will not truly be a currency.

If this was really about latency, Apple could have kept the servers in Japan or South Korea.
