My brother successfully fought a DUI by proving that he was locked out of the car and thus, could not have been driving. The fact that he was trying to get in his car doesn't mean anything, he was not driving it (maybe he wanted to get the case of beer out of the back seat to take back in the house, who knows.) So to answer your question: Yes, if the cop is an idiot and you were arrested for something you didn't commit, you can be innocent. I can't say if there is something better he should have been caught for, but that is what was claimed at the time.

That's not to say that I'm not happy the cop made sure he didn't drive. Just his method of going about it was wrong.

Now he's building lunar landers and other neato stuff.

Maybe he grew up?

I just hope those websites don't go down with the sinking ship. For as big of a pile of bloated shit AOL is, they're examples of the couple of things that are actually decent within that company.

Be a patent troll AND spammer = seat in congress :(

Even if reloading cycled you to the fullest clip so that I could go back to that half empty clip when I used up all my full clips. Be a lot more reloading, but in a pinch it'd be better than nothing.

I'd like to see Mike spend a day cleaning up the interwebs!

I think the trouble is in overloading the term "open". It's certainly not closed source. Someone witty from marketing should come up with a name for these semi-open source licenses. Paid source, perhaps?

Well, prove him otherwise. Make a movie where the non-white guy/gal/it proves he's better than the white guys at something. Go ahead, do it, make a bazillion dollars at the same time.

The news has to be dispersed somewhere. It's a reminder that we can't just dump alternate browsers on our friends and expect them to stay 100% secure. I'm not saying it's worse than IE, but if some people are gullible enough to download that virus program, they're sucker enough to download malicious plugins too.

I'd love to zoom around in google earth to look at this.

I think that's obvious (and a technique already used.) The problem, is that one side will deface the other (sometimes blatantly, sometimes subtley). What it comes down to is that if people weren't assholes, topics wouldn't need to be locked.

You see, any time you get "word of $DEITY-of-the-week" discussions happening, one side will absolutely, posituvely, never wish to allow the other side have a say because it's a lie, and even a moderator to the topic who claims neutrality is OBVIOUSLY themselves an evil liar working for the otherside.

I like to think that more people should allow more cool heads to prevail, but then again, an angry mob can overwhelm pretty quickly too. It's a tough call to make - lock it or keep it open.

If the majority of the population wants it, then yes.

It's exactly the same here in BC. My apartment building has probably only had less than half it's capacity living in it for the last few years, but they drop off enough for every single apartment.

For years, they've put a small card in the mail boxes of rural customers telling them to come down to the post office to pick up a copy. I think that's a much better way to do it. That way, the unclaimed books can be accounted for and they can produce them in more sane quantities.

1. You're an idiot.
Counterpoint: No, you're an idiot.
Counter-counterpoint: No, you're an idiot.
ad nauseam

Really, how many of these would be needed to actually make a measurable difference? And how much energy is required to build and run the damn things?
