the untold fate is the fact that the government is blatantly acting outside of the structure of itself.The very structure that was created in a way to keep it under control. When an entity decides to throw away all shackles that are meant to contain it, and declare anyone who points this out is a villain, then the untold fate is whatever they feel like doing. this is scary as hell. As for your sister and the terrorists, this framework has now made it more likely she will suffer at the hands of those protecting her than from who they claim to be protecting her from. As entire life based on keeping your head down and doing what you are told is not what we were promised, and the only way to keep those rights and freedoms is to fight for them. snowden is a great patriot, and I think I hear someone knocking at my door now.

or maybe they thought about that too, and have considered those things in the materials and construction techniques that will be in use.

why do you bother replying to me when you obviously didnt read the comment I was replying to ? The first comment stated that there is "no security" after advertising a ban on weapons on the premises. I pointed out that there is armed security. Training or willingness may be questioned, but the presence cant be.

the school resource officer that seemed very critical to this is actually an armed officer. Usually they are actual police. The article mentioned an armed resource officer and an unarmed faculty member that assisted in keeping this from getting out of control. I was trying to figure out how police could respond with only 1.3 minutes from entrance to death of the shooter. The idea of minutes for response is already too fast to believe. The only way to get under 2 minutes is to be on site.

I dont think arming teachers is going to be the best way to defend these places, but any shooter with a brain for strategy is going to take down the single armed resource officer before any threat is realized. Wearing tactical wardrobe is just asking to be caught.

agreed. Why would we just assume that a government entity isnt breaking any laws. That wasnt a safe assumption years ago, and now that we have proof many times over, then I am not going to jump to a conclusion of who placed the mics. We only know that the information was found.

I always mess up some mundane piece of the quote :)

does anyone even bother paying for a soda then ?

i might also. I would say something like " please stop" . No need to escalate to a night in jail for quite some time .

if you get up to 1.81 jiggawatts, then you can choose your own time period

that is why you search for " non-nuclear EMP but I am not a terrorist"

my point is they didnt want it to. Windows worked, but the entire office suite that is the lock in that microsoft loves didnt really release. Why should they compete with two teams and two code bases, when they can just make all consumers believe that all ARM is just less functional. The cost of an "RT failure" is less than years of having your product compete with itself.

I think they did it on purpose. Coke released a clear product, not to compete with a successful pepsi clear product, but to dilute the market, then fail, and cause the playing field to go back to the original status quo. Microsoft is highly interested in all consumers staying in the x86 market. When ARM started looking interesting to normal people, MS had to do something to protect its turf. Competing fairly would be hard and expensive, and kill off the current cash cows. Burying the new trend by placing a bad taste in the mouth of people who dont know which part of a technology stack to blame can get years of bad publicity for the up and comers.

so why isnt someone attaching handles to these bin liners? Cheaper, same size...

I use my grocery bags for trash also, as I dont like having large trash cans holding large amounts of trash. The bags are free in the states, and I buy a box of large trash bags about once every 5-7 years i think. The cloth bags seem like a good idea, but it is just more stuff to keep track of, especially when you have to leave the bags at the front desk then ask for them back when you are ready to leave. Then they are a potential disease spread if not cleaned and maintained.

I have family in Austria, and shopping there involves using the stores discarded cardboard boxes to bring things home. That makes a ton of sense.

people from the third world have a different definition of poor working environments.

unfortunately, the common occurrence is that refusing permission becomes probable cause. They can state that there were suspicious movements when asked, and just sit with the argument that people would allow a search if there is nothing to hide. It would be nice if everyone with nothing to hide refused permissions, raised suspicion of the searcher, and then had the search prove that there was no justification, but unfortunately most people dont have time to deal with that crap, and the easy out is to just comply.
