  1. FINALLY!! VT can STFU and quit whining about no respect. GO HORNS! You can urge all you want, this won't happen. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  2. Ooooooooo okay. Now that makes more sense. I just was reading it out of context. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  3. The software *will* have bugs of some kind. This is a statistical fact and a characteristic of software in general. And a Defense *expert* can always argue that if the code had been written that way rather than this, the device would be more accurate/bug free/reliable/blah. The next obvious question is whether or not the bugs (read imperfections) are relevant, if so how relevant, etc. Meanwhile at least 1/12 of the jury, most or all of whom regard software as an obscure black art, will drift off into utter confusion. And this is the real objective. Device manufacturers cannot reasonably be expected to exhaustively test and provide lifetime certification for every single unit produced. Nor can the State be expected to pay for endless trials in which each unit must be submitted to an *expert* to get an opinion on whether or not it is correctly constructed, especially if it contains software. And if a new version of the software is introduced into the field, does the comedy begin all over again? The software question is a red herring. The relevant question is, Does the unit perform within specifications? And there should be a rapid and inexpensive means of answering this question. Speed guns have been down a similar road. Then the argument can shift to specifications which pertain to all units and away from ambiguous questions pertaining to a single unit. What we have here is variant n on the OJ defense regarding DNA. "What? You mean there is a possibility that the DNA belonged to someone other than the accused? How can you say there isn't some doubt?" The law imposes a vague, undefined term called *reasonable doubt* as a basis for jury verdicts. Smart defense lawyers, and not so smart, have learned that if they can confuse just part a jury sufficiently - not so difficult these days - they can parlay the confusion into doubt and a not-guilty verdict or hung jury. Defense then becomes primarily a matter of introducing a sufficient amount of chaff into the proceedings to create confusion. The core issue in a jury trial is never really detecting *true* guilt or innocence. It's effective manipulation of the jury. That's a principal reason why defendants request jury trial in the first place rather than submitting arguments to a judge. So here we have just another instance of tired, but often effective, tactics disguised as a search for truth and justice. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  4. I have personal issues with Remitard. He banned me when I didn't deserve it! Bastard! "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  5. Do we have time? BWAAHAHAHAAA Clay innocent .... BWAHAHAHAHAA Ya ok.. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  6. Yes, I have subsonic hearing. I fucking rock! yes yes you do! And I'm going to black n tans! Wanna meet at Sam's? We can whine and bitch about this last week. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  7. Makes you wonder why the parking lots in bars are bigger than the bar LMFAO!! No shit.. and why don't taxis line up at bars like they do hotels? You know some poor bastards going to stumble out and need a ride. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  8. Ohh since it's not a debate on whether we should drink an drive everyone is quiet now. I thought so.. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  9. HAHA jeez.. I wasn't attacking anyone. Don't put that shit on me. It was preaching. As for me wanting to foil the cops. Bleh, I don't drink and drive. I posted the story because I follow techie stuff and it's a hot bed. Drinking an Driving is like talking about sex, guns and aad's. It will always get the people who are better then everyone else out of the woodwork.. weak. *edit again* I was also not looking for a discussion on drinking an driving. It was more about the laws and how Florida is being considered a test bed for the defence of revealing the source code of the breathalyzer machines. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  10. You know what I love.. I love the holier then thou people. hmph, go preach in some other thread. If you can't get the SARCASM in my post then please refrain from replying with a "I'm better then you, because you're stupid" attitude in my posts. Thanks "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

    Furniture

    I bought 2 "desk" there. They're very plain, no drawers. You buy little cabinets that roll up under them. They've got glass tops, pretty sturdy. I'm very happy with them. I do however have to say they're higher then my office desk at work. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  12. That's fine. Then get the cops out from behind the desks or out of the wards tazering everyone and get them to doing traffic duty. The camera's are a money making scheme nothing more. Like it's been said earlier. The number of rear end accidents in this city is going to skyrocket. Oh and why won't they give notice to the neighborhoods they're installing these cameras in? They're secretly planting them. I'm sure there is also some going in just for show. Bah!! Fuck the man!! He get's enough of my money already! "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  13. OMG!! I just got in trouble for screaming at the screen!! I have seen some stupid shit like that before. THAT ONE IS THE FUNNIEST! Dude OUCH!! "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  14. Wahoooo I'm getting me some of that shit! They've passed the Redlight camera law here in Houston. So it's not long till they start raking in the money. Not that I run red lights, it's sometimes I sneak thru yellows... "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  15. Billion dollar baby Rubber little lady, slicker than a weasel, Grimy as an alley Loves me like no other lover. Billion dollar baby Rotten little monster, baby, I adore you. Man or woman living couldn't love me like you, baby. We go dancing nightly in the attic While the moon is rising in the sky. If I'm too rough, tell me, I'm so scared your little head will come off in my hands. Yeah, billion dollar baby I got you in the dime store, No other little girl could ever hold you Any tighter, any tighter than me, baby. Billion dollar baby Reckless like a gambler, million dollar maybe Foaming' like dog that's been infected by the rabies. We go dancing nightly in the attic While the moon is rising in the sky. If I'm too rough, tell me, I'm so scared your little head will come off in my hands. Million dollar baby, Billion dollar baby, Trillion dollar baby, Zillion dollar baby. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  16. Well if you read the story, some judges are throwing the cases out. So it's a thin line to walk. I really have to agree with the defendants in some way. There was a DUI case (a bunch actually) where the cops were to be found having tampered with the insides of a breathalyzer. So give me the rights to question the validity of the machine that's going to cost me a lot of money, my respect, maybe a job and could even throw me in prison. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  17. "Ha meester coppola! You can't prove I'm drunk *stumble* so umm... got a beer?" Story Breathalyzer source code must be disclosed Discuss.. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

    Cult of iPod?

    I had no clue people took this iPod thing so freakin seriously!! http://blog.wired.com/cultofmac/ I'm really speachless... there is an "iPod culture" "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  19. Wonder when I'm going to die... "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  20. You've got 110 post on this site and you've been banned once already? Hey did you see Peppermint or ClintinRadloff while you were banned? "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  21. We have lkind of a pool going in the team room... Some of our most beloved posters have high payback for getting banned. I went to a Club med in Guadeloupe for 6 days after I banned you. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  22. Damn I don't have the best grammar nor spelling.. but, fuck that hurt me to read it. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  23. Don't keeed with the Remitard.. he banned me over some conversation over declawing cats. Was really sad, and the guy they banned me over went fucking PSYCO... I was the one who had been on the site for 4 years and never gotten in trouble. I get banned and the greenies have a field day with the guy I supposedly attacked. Was kind of ironic if you ask me. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  24. BTFU! WOOP WOOOP WE GOT A WINNER HERE!! I've been waiting for this newb to slip up... I didn't have to wait long. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  25. Dude - did you like - um - just find a fold that was all sweaty and do them? ?? "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
