Comment Nashua Police (Score 1) 936

I'm not saying the police were entirely wrong in this instance with the taiser but as a former resident of Nashua I've also had unpleasant run-ins with the Nashua Police that don't show exemplary behavior on their part. About ten years ago, they were ready to break down the door to my apartment at 1am. Apparently they had an arrest warrant for the former resident and leasee but their police records were at least one year out-of-date. The police made NO apologies or explanations...They just walked off after realizing their mistake. I had to piece together what happened, myself. Needless to say, its alarming when you are woken out of a sound sleep on a work night by yelling and banging at your door.

The one time in recent years that I persisted with coming to work with a nasty case of the flu, was the first two weeks of a new job. This was a tough call for me. I didn't want all my new co-workers to hate me but at the same time, I new it would look bad if I called in sick on my first week of work.

Why would people get that when thepiratebay is 0$ per month, is accessible from anywhere, and there is no digital restrictions management involved? Or even better to keep that money and purchase a new dvd every other month? At least a dvd can be ripped to the hard drive and copied as many times as someone wants. Paying 9$ per month for getting no value in return is ludicrous.

As a U.S citizen living in the U.S., I don't want to be sued by the MPAA or RIAA. BTW, with Amazon Prime, I pay only $7 per month and I get more than Movie & TV show streaming.

I'm a former Netflix customer. I'm now an Amazon Prime customer. Currently, Amazon is a better deal with a greater selection. It also gives the option to view new releases if you pay a little extra plus it provides free two-day shipping, discounts on select Amazon purchases and you can "borrow" an e-book on your Kindle for up to one month every month. I just order a Roku and with AP, it should kick ass.
