Clarke also used this idea in "3001": The Pico Vault. Where the insane products of man were collected.
This software does not support Windows 8 or 8.1 x64.
This makes it kind of useless for a whole swath of people like journalists, human rights defenders, etc who have purchased a new Windows machine in the last year or so can't use it.
I block Bennett's stories from appearing.
Bennett gets someone else to post his drivel.
Bennett is getting around a filter that was put in place, via Slashdot's own system....and is therefore evading. To talk about how to get around filters.
Anyone else see the irony here?
Here in Illinois, Bennett....your argument falls apart. Completely. I will also say this: you really don't know what you're talking about. Your opinion amounts to a fart in a wind tunnel to me, a resident of the State of Illinois, land of John Burge.
Here in Illinois, police have a long and storied history of bending the evidence to fit their theory of the crime, rather than let facts alone lead them to the truth of the matter.
Here in Illinois, police, prosecutors, and the criminal justice system have their finger on the needle.
Kevin Fox, Jerry Hobbes, Rolando Cruz. These are people who, in good faith....spoke to the police. These are *just* a few. Each of them had to fight to clear their names in the face of police and prosecutors who were bound and determined to make sure they could make a case against who they focused on. Why, the prosecutor in the Hobbes case, when confronted with DNA Evidence that someone else raped and murdered a child....rather than admit Hobbes was innocent, claimed the girl (aged 8) had sex with someone else before she was raped and murdered. Michael Waller (who was the Lake Co. Prosecutor) had reams of cases where he behaved like this. Illinois prosecutors and police enjoy an overly broad immunity from the damage they do.
So spare me your "insight", Bennett, because you are woefully ignorant on this topic. Try living in a State where "shortcuts to indictment and trial" are policy number one for the Criminal Justice system.
We abolished the death penalty in this state. Why? Because our system has been so corrupted, so polluted with people who sit in seats of inscrutable power they have nothing to fear in the destruction of a member of the general citizenry. Your "opinion" is offensive, insofar as it fails to weigh the stark reality of life. Police want to clear cases. Their procedure for doing so has become tainted, and through that have tainted the adversarial nature of the justice system. When the police think your guilty, whether you are or not....framing the evidence to fit their theory of what happened becomes the way to get that person on trial. Facts start to matter less, as they become twisted...or even denied in the race to put people in prison.
I suggest if you want to navel gaze, you actually do some research into this topic. As a resident of Chicago I am absolutely appalled that we can't properly fund our school system but the city has paid out a total of 80 million dollars to settle cases *just* for John Burge alone.
The Fifth Amendment was a wise one. The police are *not* your friends in a criminal investigation, especially if they don't have all the facts, or have half the facts and want to drill for more. Kevin Fox wound up arrested, and charged for the murder of his own daughter, despite the fact police had EVIDENCE that pointed to another person, BEFORE they even ran the DNA which eventually cleared him. When police and prosecutors do this, it's the rest of us innocent taxpayers who have to foot the bill.
The devil finds work for idle circuits to do.
