You hand them the license not the wallet. Ive even seen cops tell drivers to take the license out. They don't want to fumble with your wallet. It is the potential to drop something out of it or get accused of stealing from it.
I thought stealing was just normal for cops in the USA? They call it 'civil forfeiture'.
you beat me to it. this was the very first thing i thought of as well. while convenient, as it would make carrying a wallet unnecessary, it's a huge trap. you can't complain the cops have your phone, if you hand it to them. not to mention the camera you're probably using to document the stop is under their control.
However, if you hand your wallet over to a cop in the USA and theres cash in it he'll declare it 'obviously drug money' and confiscate it...
If the videos are taken down and no one can see them, people can't check if they are fake or not.
A lot of news media sites seem to refer to a movie 'which appears to show' someone being burned alive, as if theres some question about it. If the video is available then those with the expertise, and stomach, can verify whether it is genuine or if its a hoax and the flames are CG. Keep it hidden away forever and its authenticity might be challenged.
The headline is written such that it left me to think at first that it was for handling dangerous live insects (say, killer bees, fire ants, etc). The headline should really specify it is for handling insect specimens - or that the device ensures the safety of the insect rather than the handler.
The insects appear to be dead, impaled on various spikes attached to the LEGO. I'd therefore say its NOT safe for the insects.
Funny how the country that talks the loudest about free market is so crap at actually implementing it...
We subsidized something, it turns out it certainly wasn't broadband.
I think you subsidized the bonus payouts to the telco executives...
Don't worry I'm sure the benefits will trickle down through the economy
LOL
The US government has given the telcos hundreds of billions of dollars in USF fees over the last 15+ years. No one in the world has subsidized broadband as much as we have.
And, apparently, no one in the world has as little to show for the investment...
publically funded projects to bring high speed broadband
In the US we gave our telcos massive tax cuts in the 90s in exchange for fiber rollout. The telcos took the money and ran.
Don't worry I'm sure the market will sort it out...
Thats why you have free market, capitalism and democracy!
After hearing about the grilled cheese sandwich that looks like the virgin Mary I read this headline and the image that comes to mind is a roast turkey where the pattern of browning on the skin sort of looks like an image of the prophet Muhammad.
Then I think Facebook is being biased. If they allowed pictures of the virgin Mary grilled cheese then they shouldn't censor pictures of the Muhammad roast turkey.
Then I imagine extremists shouting "death to the turkey!"
(News can me so much more entertaining if you allow yourself to be creative.)
The thing is, no one would know it was an image of the prophet Mohammed because no one knows what he looked like.
And the worst part is, how will Facebooks system be able to tell the difference between an image thats 'supposed to be that one Mohammed who was the prophet' and an image thats of one of the millions of Muslims around the world whose name is 'Mohammed'??
FOSS *is* more secure, and that's true even with the occasional vulnerability.
Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.
Its true *ESPECIALLY* with the occasional vulnerability because thats a vulnerability thats been found, publicised and fixed unlike in the proprietary shit where the vulnerability will be found by a limited group of people and kept secret so they can use it.
Oh, you mean those nice folks over in Eastern Europe?
and the intelligence network of the 5 main english speaking nations...
Apparently "many eyes" were not reading that bit of code.
Will you please actually read the quote rather than quoting an inorrect interpretation. The quote is:
"given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow"
It means that once a bug is found, it is shallow, i.e. quick and easy to solve for someone. It doesn't and never did mean that all bugs will be found.
'many eyes' weren't reading that bit of code.
But you can fucking bet that 5 eyes were reading that bit of code!
That's great in theory, but no one likes reading lines and lines of old code looking for a potential error. Know what? Even fewer people do it for free. At least in proprietary software, people are paid to do it.
In proprietary software and free alike many people are paid to do it.
They do it so their masters can then exploit the bugs they find and pry into your private life, hack your bank accounts and generally fuck with you.

Pedophiles are like Nazis
You have that backwards. Pedophiles are the group that society wants to watch burn. The group that nobody will cry for as they are marched to the stake, or the concentration camp, or the guillotine. The group that politicians use as moral grounds for passing laws based on hate and vigilantism instead of justice.
It's a slippery slope my friends.
Pretty soon it'll be people who are suspected of having harbored lustful thoughts of girls who appear to be under age.
That and camera technology in the posters you see everywhere advertising clothes/makeup etc for young girls so that men whose eyes linger just a little too long on the poster are flagged as potential pedos.
Most of us practice head shots for hours at a time.
People in the South tend to have guns within reach at all times; what could possibly go wrong?
As I replied to a similar comment below.
Do you idiots seriously believe that if the government was going to target you for surveillance, and go to the length of breaking into your home in order to bug it, that they would do so while you were there????
Some people never leave their homes though! I guess the ultimate in defence against this kind of thing is being a shut-in!
Scientists will study your brain to learn more about your distant cousin, Man.
