Comment Re:Going back to the good old days (Score 1) 337

Hasn't actually changed that much. The RKoP private schools still open a lot more doors than the cake-eater schools. Another thing that hasn't changed is that some kids will get pushed through without actually learning anything. That's how it was in the 70s when I graduated and all the standardized testing hasn't changed that (IMHO). Not gonna pull percentages out of my ass, but I doubt the numbers are all that different.

Comment Armor (Score 1) 589

I read the book when I was ten. With a ten year old's memory, the main character was the awesome armor the troopers wore. There was no armor in the movie, therefore the movie sucked.

Comment Security and planting evidence (Score 4, Interesting) 61

I'm wondering how they would secure against altered video that implicates the innocent or exonerates the guilty if they are not pulling the video directly from the source. It would break the chain of custody for the evidence. Even if only used in the investigation, the ease with which that investigation could be led off track makes me leery. That and the company proposing it.

Comment It's non-addictive (Score 1) 346

Demonstrably so. Well proven to be less addictive than no-doz and lollipops. All whose comments or arguments cite LSD addiction get a zero on this subject and should do a bit of further reading.

(Funny you should ask. Why no, I am not promoting the use of LSD.)
