You don't need to be greedy. Simply requiring the law enforcement to pay interest and to pay attorney fees should be sufficient.

Most of the problems are caused by small local communities using unfair seizure laws to fund their own community/special benefits.

Similarly, 99% of the problem could be stopped if they cancelled the Equitable Sharing program and instead insisted that all such seizures to go to the federal government, not to any local fund.

If you read the article, the scientists are not converting energy into matter.

Instead, they have caused some photons to be entangled so that they gain some of the properties of "liquid or solids". Not all the properties, not even the properties of a crystal, instead some of the properties of 'liquid or solid"

This article is just about one of the worst dumming down of science I have read. It was built up to sound 'click worthy', mainly be ignoring the actual research. They don't even use the word "entangled".

That is, the library should be able to create a dedicated l-e-book (library e-book) that has no USB or other input/output port.

The only way to access it would be via wireless, and it would have proprietary software that can use an open internet connection to go to the libraries specific website and search/download/erase books.

This prevents people from copying or 'stealing' (quotes there for a reason people) information, but would allow the same functionality that a normal lending library allows. The books could have automatic erasure programmed into the library-reader, after 2 weeks

You fail to understand the difference between spot detection and permanent detection.

If you sample one out of every 100 cars, all you are really doing is determining if a problem exists, not actually fixing the problem. Not even if you fix the randomly selected problem cars. You still need a separate program to analyze the manufacturing problems causing the defects then fix the problem, if it exists.

But having someone check ALL the cards, allows you to remove the bad ones and fix them before you sell them. You don't actually need a separate program, because your analysis IS the fix.

Similarly, a constant video recording program is the solution to the problem we detected by using random video recordings. Random recordings allow problems to flourish between the recordings. Constant recordings do not have this issue.

The fact that random recording don't fix the problem is no surprise, and constant recordings are qualitatively different so your argument is flawed.

To make sure that NYC is not Ferguson.

He has a couple of "meet the police" fairs, which I never saw before.

He has done everything right that Ferguson did wrong.

Now, the NYC police is not perfect, but at least they are actively attempting to do a better job, rather than attempting to prove how 'tough' they are.

The police have a hard job and the violent nature of their business tends to make certain foolish people think their job is to be as powerful as possible.

Glad to see that NYC is moving in the right direction.

So we should invade countries that like America?

Are you a fool?

Of course we choose to invade our enemies, not our friends.

Iraq was a bad war, but it was bad because there was no real reason to do it. That is why we didn't accomplish anything with the war.

The fact that the people did not like us was not relevant.

Your opinions might be more popular if you scrape off the foolishness you precede it with.

By making sure that small government totally blocks business!

That's how it's supposed to work, right?

1) Never trust a civilian that says "these weapons you want are not very effective or what you need". He is not trained or capable to make that argument. It's like a mathematician saying he doesn't believe in global warming, or a priest saying he doesn't believe in evolution. 2) You can boil down his argument to what I originally said -"these weapons are good at killing people"

The argument is at heart "Don't develop these weapons because they will be good at killing people and I personally am not smart enough to come up with a civilan use that doesn't kill people".

It is the kind of idiocy that makes the military industrial complex laugh and call you names.

There are good reasons to ban weapons - but not just because the weapon is good at killing people. To those in the military, effectiveness at killing people is a reason to BUILD the weapon, not ban it.

Chemical are banned not because they kill people, but because they are likely to kill civilians and your own soldiers as much as they kill the enemy. They also people and damage valuable land after you win.

A similar argument applies to biological weapons, land mines and nuclear weapons.

There is NOTHING in this article that would convince a soldier to ban the weapons. Instead, any military person, upon reading it will of course demand that we spend lots of money figuring out how to build hypersonic missiles.

If you dislike war, ban it. But you are probably not naive enough to try that. You would lose the argument because such an attempt has many many flaws. Well guess what - trying to ban weapon research because the weapon is too goo is just as naive.

WORST of all, your naive and foolish attempts make it much harder to ban the weapons we actually CAN ban - land mines, chemical and biological warfare.

They are sending him a notice on the yearly fees, which is not old. It is new debt, created each year.

He would need a court order declaring who the new owner and force them to correct their records.

As badly as the 'originators' try to kill the secondary market by creating false problems, it still makes far more sense to buy timeshares on the secondary market.

All of the 'freebies' they offer never make up for the basic fact that sellers are desperate. The complex stuff they offer is only there to hide the fact that the primary market is a rip off in comparison.

Of course, you do need to accept the fact that you get less 'choice' on the secondary market. Still, it always makes more sense, if you can afford the time and effort to look and find a reputable website

The basics of dna replication are well known. We know they need to cycle heat.

They should have been using a standard heater, using the CPU's chip seems like a kludge.

It might work, but it seems unlikely to be the better than a purpose built device. At most it saves a bit of cash and energy, at the expense of accuracy and complex programming.

The amount of money saved by chip and pin is relatively low. A mere password doesn't cut it. US fraud rate is so low that it is not considered worthwhile.

Give us real security - a Token based system that generates a new single use credit card number for each and every purchase made using the card - both on and off line.

That number should only be reusable if you want to make it a reoccurring, monthly charge.

It might refer to Uber having their employees book fake rides on other taxi services, then cancelling.
