Not feelings, perhaps, but legitimate fear for one's safety, and not the "we need to packet capture the whole internet in order to keep you safe, citizen" type.

There's a difference between "we made fun of X" (which is unkind) VS "we made fun of X, then posted his/her address and personal information with suggestions to cause harm" (which is legitimately threatening).

Yeah, especially considering that "X should be drug out into the street and shot" - which is very similar to "taken out back and shot - was a common phrase of fricking garfield, a cartoon character of some popularity.
It's an expression, and by no means a threat into itself.

The saddest part of the whole mess (other than all the people that they bilked out of thousands of dollars) is that they still haven't been disbarred.

Screw disbarred, I'm thinking that they should be imprisoned
* Identity theft
* Perjury
* (possible) Racketeering
* Failing to comply with a court order
* etc

*some* music I could listen to over and over. Other times I go back to some of the older items in my collection and am like "WTF was I thinking when I thought that this was good"

I listened to a radio article on this recently. From the various races won, it's around $4 million.

Not a bad chunk of change, but the good money from now on won't be in racing, but rather in breeding. It's anticipated that the owner could make up to $60m in stud fees. So now that AP has done the hard part, the owner gets to enjoy some cash and the horse gets to enjoy life carousing with a bunch of fillies. Not a bad retirement.

Do you have anything to cite on those stats?

The stormtrooper would take the and miss. However the haywire shot would take out an important girder, which would then cause the ceiling to collapse killing both trooper and redshirts.

Or he was off and going to some event to show off the outfit (or maybe having some fun with his kid... it didn't say if he had a child at the school).

a) You do have to pay the tax
b) You don't pay duties on items manufactured in the US. If it's an import to the US that is then resold, it's susceptible to duties.

Yes it happens everywhere, but some places are more susceptible to obvious graft and cheating than others. In the USA, for example, it would be hard to argue that there isn't a certain culture of graft in government... but it's mostly a legally acceptable variety called "campaign contributions." Unfortunately the people making the rules have made a system where they're exempt many of them.

The thing is, what might not be unexpected in certain levels in North American society permeates more levels in some others. In many places you simply can't do business without bribes. In China, it's pretty much endemic to the culture in some areas.

My ex used to share stories, one of which stuck with me: she wanted to transfer her son to another school after moving.
When she went in to register him, she was told "sorry, we're full and not accepting more students."
As she's leaving, another guy comes up, drops a red envelope (presumably containing some cash) with the school secretary, and asks for the same thing. He's told "sure, we'll fit him"

"oh, and once a month you should run this script which performs, uh, maintenance on the production systems"

(no, I do not recommend this, but one can sometimes see why IT people are often escorted out rather quickly rather than "training their replacements")

Also that pesky requirement of having a license in the US to practice medicine... which requires a fairly hefty investment in education etc
(IT also requires education, but there are no "licensed" IT people... generally because nobody dies if a server goes down).

That one kinda sucks. As it is it's a bit of a pisser when I'm in the middle of something, have deferred an update, and the next deferral times out causing it to reboot my PC on me....

The radio hardware or the frequency? Many phones have multi-band radios that work everywhere, and even handle both the CDMA+GSM carriers, so I'm not sure why they'd have a different radio chip for Canada.

Or they introduce a game as a pre-release, and it's awesome. Then they introduce a bunch of pay-to-win crap, or break the game in other ways when it's released as a completed product. People see a new game come out, see awesome reviews, and buy it... but at this point what *was* a good game is now a steaming pile of sh**...

I've seen many games that seem to have gone this route... although to be fair many are FTPPTW (Free to Play Pay to Win) so the only thing you really waste before seeing it's a PTW piece of junk is time and bandwidth.
