I'm long gone. I went to Ubuntu back in 2009, primarily because there was an easy way to install TDE and Mandriva didn't have an option.
On some level, I'm happy for them but I don't think they'll be able to reclaim many of the users they lost to Mageia and Ubuntu.

I still prefer KDE 3.5.
It has less of a PlaySkool feel to it than what came later.
I'll give the new stuff a try eventually but I have no compelling reason to change yet.

Netflix should seriously consider abandoning Canada. Or even, just take a week off and refund all of their customers 1/4 of their monthly payment.
People will call their elected representatives if they lose access to something they want.

Because of my political leanings, I tend to assume the worst about our friends in California but this is fantastic. Hopefully it catches on elsewhere.

The victim is never at fault.
That being said, there's an important question to ask.
Why is is that the other women present that night were not attacked?
Is it because they traveled in pairs? Is it because they never left their drinks unattended?
It's often something like the person or one of their friends realizes that the world crashing down on them, so they get the fuck out of there ASAP and wake up the next morning having no idea how they got home.
Yeah, about that. That's a symptom of acute alcohol intoxication too. As far as I know, I have never been date raped but in my younger days, there were many nights that I don't remember how I got home.

If he was black, the police would have just shot him.

You're welcome. You earned it.

The issue isn't that you disagreed with his assertion, he was obviously incorrect. The issue is that you were an obnoxious twat about it.
When he said "people like you", I read it as "obnoxious twats".

Ferber's boss would be seriously derelict in their duty if they didn't fire him for this.
Two words.
Police Union.
There is almost no accountability for law enforcement. That's a part of what draws sociopaths into that field of work.
LK
You don't know me, so you have no idea what "people like" me are about.
Would you be happy if he said "People who behave like you just did"?

I agree, that the only thing that's new is that the police are now treating middle and upper income white people they they have always treated poor whites and minorities.
The President is the head of the Executive branch of government, he is sometimes called the "Chief Law Enforcement Officer in The United States" but he has no authority to direct local police in any way.
He can instruct the FBI to carry out his directives because they are a part of the Department of Justice which is an Executive Branch agency.

Yes, they did but who is going to arrest them? Their fellow officers? Is the District Attorney going to alienate the officers who bring the cases and bolster his career?
Welcome to the USA.

This has been one of my names for over 20 years. I even receive mail under this name.
If you know where to look, there's a clear enough connection between this name and the one on my driver's license.
If anyone is looking for me, I'm not hard to find.

It's easy to not care what people think of you when you're anonymous.

An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
