> Yeah...but, they're fun to drive.

In contrast to electrical cars? Which have full torque at 0 rpms and can therefor easily do 0 - 60 mph under 5s.
Not only the Tesla, but also the electric Mini Cooper, or the butt ugly Tango.

> Half the fun of that is the smell and sounds of a rumbling engine and well tuned exhaust

Now we get the point: It's a sentimental thing. Hard to argue against feelings.

> With this ruling, what they're saying now is that this hypothetical person would walk, because the DNA sample would not be in the database.

Yes, the same way his DNA wouldn't be in the database, when he hadn't have been arrested for a crime he didn't commited in the first place.
Or the same way, this hypothetical person walks free, because not all persons are DNA sampled from birth, or have to wear a GPS tagged collar the whole day around.

The point is, a person being arrested, but not convicted, is not guilty. The same way everyone else is.

>> 'Never really been a huge Star Trek fan.'

I may be mistaken, but I think I've heard a similar line from Rick Berman.

> The series has become a tired ass glorified fan flick from insiders.

On the contrary. Star Trek I to VI were at least glorified fan flicks from insiders, from then on they tried to appeal to a more general public: Now they even lost that bit of appeal.

On that note: Guess, who was responsible for those films.

> Fresh blood and a new outlook sounds good to me.

That is something I can perfectly agree on.

Use the GPS and accelerometer for tracing the trajectory of a rocket.
