E. He/She is a murderer and should be punished as much or worse than a common murderer since trust was put into the officer.

Most of them seem to either get some sort of sick kicks out of it, or are overly hyped. It is time that even cops get proper punishment rather than the free pass they seem to get currently.

Are there that many of us?

It's like Star Trek movies. You can only watch every other one. 95 bad, 98 okay (SE better), WinME bad (Win2K was fine, but consumers hated it), XP okay, Vista bad, 7 okay, 8 bad. Windows 9(?) should be okay.

Except there isn't really sufficient evidence the AC means to assassinate or request someone assassinate the prosecutor. See last Sunday's discussion: http://politics.slashdot.org/story/11/07/24/0324253/Online-Call-To-Shoot-President-Ruled-Free-Speech. So, I think even his words would qualify under free speech.

No, it's probably a brilliantly evil plan. Apple knows the MAFIAA has legions of lobbyists working to prevent "piracy". If they can convince the MAFIAA that this is a required technology, then other phone makers will be forced to either pay extortion fees to Apple, or put out of business since they will be unable to comply with federal law.

I wasn't very old, but I think Nixon was the furthest left in my lifetime.

You're a bit off there. There are uses beyond gamers for the newest cards, and as much hope as I had for the GTX 590, I think nVidia missed it too. The answer is GPU computing. The way I see it (I may be myopic), is that $700 for a GPU is cheap for the computational performance. Sadly, the GTX 590 under performs because nVidia was worried about noise & power more than FLOPS. As far as I'm concerned, I'm just going to buy banks of cards and put them in a room where I can't hear them. So, despite weeks of waiting, we'll be going with the GTX 580 as it beats the GTX 590, Radeon 6990, and Radeon 5970 for our uses.

Maybe it's more because I'm not a serious gamer, but I've been looking at a bank of these cards for GPU computing. More computing power, less space, faster transfer across cards rather than network, and less overhead costs associated with buying more systems. We bought the Radeon HD 5970 & GeForce GTX 580 two weeks ago for comparisons. This week will tell us which platform is better for our needs since we need to move from theory to reality.

For home use, I'd keep using the GeForce 8800 GTX, but I'm the lucky recipient of the card that doesn't win.

I think this suggests using an elder "protip". It's called haggling. The other month, I was looking for a nice ceiling fan to go into a home office. I went to Lowes and Home Depot. Nothing really impressed me. I went to a local floor & lighting center which had the fan I wanted. I wrote down the model numbers, went home, and looked it up on the internet. Amazingly (I had never seen this before), the store was cheaper than anywhere I could find online (at least $25). There was still a problem, the fan was $75 more than I had budgeted. I spoke with the sales guy and told him, I was really looking for the $300 range and $375 was more than I could part with. He tried to talk me into other models, I said the other's didn't appeal to me, and if I wanted to settle, I'd go back to Lowes where I saw one for $150 that was pleasing enough. Well, after a bit of time and some more discussion, I walked out of there with my fan for $305. I saved almost $100 over the internet price, and $75 from the store's initial price.

Is the one buried a mile under ground in 100' radius of concrete connected to nothing. Preferably in an undisclosed location. Even then, it is only as secure as the guards protecting it.
