I'd get the season pass IF and only IF it was HD.
As someone that was seriously considering the X6 in a few years, this is a welcome entry to the field.
A taxi driver in the UK was spared false rape charges because he'd recorded the women scheming to get out of paying their fare, so there is value for drivers other than preventing robberies. The question though is who watches the watchers? IMO these CCTV systems should instead be cracked wide open so that the general public can view the feeds, not just have it limited to police. After all, they're in public spaces anyway so the people there have no expectation of privacy, so what compelling reason could there be to restrict access to the feeds? Also, include cameras in all the reasonable spaces of legislature and justice. What's good for the goose...
Agreed. She's 23 for fucks sake! Time for the little princess to stop mooching off daddy and get her ass a J-O-B. Notice that she wasn't too butthurt over the asswhooping to take his money and borrow his car, but once that stopped now he's the bad guy. Riiiight. The guy isn't winning any popularity contests with the beatdown, and yes I think it was excessive, but this whole thing smacks of sour grapes and entitlement mentality on the girl's part.
It's all about lost term budgeting costs. When the govt booted out all the govies it was to save money on the back-end. You either pay contractors more up front, or govies less, but have to foot the bill for a fat govt pension later. Pick your poison.
And by 5-10 years away they mean 25-50 years. They've been working on male birth control for 20 years and it's been stuck in the "5-10 years away" the entire time. I see no reason to believe this doesn't fall under the same kind of fantasy science that one day will certainly happen, but probably not nearly as soon as they hope for.
Fermilab has a similar setup which should be able to test the results. So does an experiment in Japan, T2K, but they aren't running at the moment because of the tsunami. The actual experiment shouldn't be too hard to do if you have the equipment to make a beam of neutrinos, just point them at a detector and fire away and see how long time of flight was, which means they could probably start working on it fairly soon, though it will probably take months or years to get enough data points to be statistically significant.
This actually replicates the results of another labs findings, which they had discounted as measurement errors. If anything, this might just prove the previous test's findings weren't a mistake as previously assumed.
This is the 21st century version of the shoe-shine boy giving stock advice. It's clear now we're in for another tech bubble fiasco.
So when should we expect Karen Owens to be arrested? Hmm...? She did just about the same thing at Duke last year and instead of bitching about it many people, mainly feminists, held her up on high as the picture of "empowerment".
If this kid is being charged then they need to arrest Karen Owens. EQUALITY and all that jazz.
I cut the cord about a month ago and got a Roku. Netflix, HuluPlus, and Amazon Prime, plus the channels on Roku have more than met my needs. As for my wants, HuluPlus is near worthless since the shows I'd use it for aren't available for streaming to the TV despite being able to watch them online (eg Fringe) and Amazon Prime is utterly worthless unless you like Dr Who. Netflix is a champ though with them getting streaming for current shows still on the air. Once the networks/studios knock of being stupid and start looking at streaming like pay channels I think we'll see the streaming services start to look more like HBO than not.
"Only other thing to say is -- good job, submitter. Made me look."
I had to double check the date to make sure they weren't submitted on the 1st.
And by girl you mean police officer of legal age.
This kind of police activity is quite literally "thought crime" since no actual crime had been committed. Is it good that guys like him aren't out there *possibly* victimizing real people? Probably, sure. But does it warrant locking him up? Probably not. IMO they should use stings like this merely to flag and monitor people so that if they do try and take action, THEN you arrest them. What they're doing isn't any different from going after people who get off on CGI kiddie porn. How in the world that makes sense I'll never understand. No actual kids were harmed, so there's no actual crime.
