Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Regardless of where you're staying, it's all four star accommodations.

Or a certain Bloom County comic.

I used to watch more TV 10 years ago, but that was back when...

Discovery and The Learning Channel were dedicated to educational shows
Animal Planet was dedicated to shows about animals
The History Channel was dedicated to shows about History
The Sci-Fi channel was dedicated to actual Science Fiction

etc,etc,etc...

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the USA network was showing foreign made shows 24/7.

For that matter, 30 years ago I watched even more TV, but that's back when Music Television Video was dedicated to showing Music Videos on Television. Go figure.

...why Lawrence Welk lived into his late 80s.

And another Saturday afternoon SyFy movie plot was born.

The driver would be arrested due to the drugs and possibly the weapons. They would be held as evidence. This hasn't changed.

Here's what has: Up until now, the driver could just be driving around with the money... no drugs, no weapons, no probable cause or reasonable suspicion, and the cops could seize it based on the extremely flimsy suspicion that the driver was a drug dealer. This money would wind up in the coffers of that local police department, to be used at their discretion.

The driver would theoretically have the chance to legally reclaim the money. However, the driver could easily wind up spending more money in legal costs than the original sum that was seized. And in some jurisdictions, the authority making the final decision in such a legal case is the same organization that seized the money in the first place.

See the issues here?

Glory to Arstotzka!

Based on the AC's suggestion to Silfen, I'm guessing that a lack of conflict resolution and social skills may be the major employment barrier here.

In all fairness, they have been known to cancel the occasional movie.

Apparently the Trident Gum people have been using this for decades.

It's been said that the older you get, the faster time seems to pass.

It's also been said that time flies while you're having fun.

Therefore, the older I get, the more fun I must be having.

Early on in the life-cycle of a company, getting a reputation as being too immoral can hinder your ability to attract employees, customers, and investors. You need to make the most of your benefit of the doubt when you're small and no one knows about the people running the place. Once you've become a significant or dominant part of the market you're competing in, the public's perception of your morality doesn't matter as much.

In other words, your true nature as a heartless bastard shouldn't go public before your company does.

It's more like they're not getting the product that they donated money for.

The larger problem is this: If a Kickstarter developer can renege on the promises they made to get people to donate to their project, and not suffer any negative repercussions from it, it's going to make it a lot harder for other developers to get people to donate - once somebody gets away with a bait & switch, everybody else comes under suspicion.

Case in point: What's the one-word quote Spock is most known for?

"Fascinating."
