Comment Re:Where are the mid-American datacenters (Score 2) 186

You might be correct but keep in mind that there are other limitations as well. Cost and need for cooling, talent, price of utilities and infrastructure (not just utilities but potentially network related as well).

However there has to be something behind the idea of data centers in the midwest, at the very least Iowa is home to a Google data center.

Police didn't tell him shit, a 911 dispatcher did (hint, you are under no legal obligation to do a damn thing that a dispatcher tells you), his only response was "Ok". In 2 different posts you've made up completely different quotes of his, you can't even keep your false statements consistent even minutes apart.

Following someone isn't stalking them, it isn't hunting them down, stop using loaded phrases. If he suspects someone of illegal doing, he can legally follow them, if someone else initiates a physical attack on him, he's allowed to defend himself, even if it's with a gun.

The only thing that doesn't wash is your ability to fabricate every bit of "evidence" you've claimed.

A fist fight can easily end in the death of one of the parties. If you didn't start the fight, is your only option supposed to be lay there and take it? Hope you don't end up dead by the time the attacker stops?

Non-lethal self defense training or not, you pull a knife and get close to an officer, you're getting shot and rightfully so.

I really wish there was a mod option "Dumbass" as that's the only fitting description I can think of for your post.

The prosecution will make an issue during their case (and the media has tried this plenty) that Trayvon just wasn't an aggressive person, he wouldn't have started a fight as stated by the defendant, he doesn't have any history of violence or aggressive behavior. The defense has every right to disprove that notion especially if proof exists to counter that claim, the proof in this case comes in the form of Facebook, Twitter and school records. The point isn't that Zimmerman knew about the postings and records before hand but that the postings and records prove a history of aggressive behavior on Trayvons part.

If you can't figure that out then it would seem my desire to mod this post "Dumbass" has merit.

I think what bugs me the most is that the FTC announced they were looking into Google, Announcing that you want to look into them comes across more as a threat than anything else. No need to make some public show of it, you inform Google and you start your investigation, don't drag it into the public eye unless you have some proof and you're actually starting some sort of hearing/trial against them.
