Re: Re: FWIW, Liberty NY is a pretty famous speed trap town
i don't remember it being here, but there was an article in the last month or so where a retired (but of course) judge made it plain that a LOT of municipal jurisdictions are DEPENDENT upon traffic fine revenue to finance their donut eaters, etc... a true perpetual motion machine in action: write bullshit tickets to get fines, to pay for an otherwise useless police farce (sic), which is used to write more tickets to prop up a useless police dept, so they can support more ticket writers to pay for useless donut eaters, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum... welcome to the end times of Empire...
well, here is the nub of the problem: when you make lying, cheating, stealing, torturing, assassination 'acceptable' AND common; *how long* -greedtard 1%- do you think it takes for the 99% to go 'heh, now wait a minute: if assassination of someone you merely don't like is no big deal...'
just *where* did you think this would end up, 1% freetards ? ? ?
all well and good, but might not an 'investigation' into the details of *how* timmah got 'hoaxed' be in order ? (might even make an interesting column)

except, i don't really give a shit about OS's... i don't care what its name is; where it comes from; who makes money off of it; what it's license terms are; what all the kool kidz are using; or what works best for nerds 1-n...
for *most* of us computer-based lifeforms who do specific work-oriented tasks on computers using -generally- specific software, we want/need ONLY a couple things: 1. STABLE and fast enough to RUN OUR SOFTWARE at peak performance... 2. small enough footprint to stay out of the way... (ha!) 3. NO crapware/bloatware/spyware/malware, NONE of your warez... (a double-plus good for linux)
for people getting work done in a korporate environment, it does not matter if linux, libreoffice, gimp, blender, etc can do a task better (repeat, it does not matter)... nobody gets 'blamed' for using word or excel or photoshop or autocad or illustrator or (fill in the blank with your industries dominant s/w)... BUT, use a 'non-standard' s/w and some file incompatibility or whatever problem crops up; and it will be because of *that* 'non-standard' s/w, that is reality... why invite trouble ? why spend more time futzing with s/w to make stuff 'the same', when you can just use 'the same' ? we are paid to produce 'stuff' with this s/w, NOT to endlessly tweak the s/w itself... depending on the deliverables, it is absolutely possible to do professional work on free/OSS and cheap(er) s/w and not have compatibility issues that limit you to the standard s/w... BUT, i STILL have to have the 'standard' s/w for where that IS an issue; so, WHY am i going to buy/have/learn both photoshop and gimp ? well, probably not going to... WHY am i going to keep a free version of draftsight when i 'have to' have autocad ? well, probably not going to...
i am software-based, not OS-based: i HAVE TO have an OS which runs AutoCAD, Revit, PhotoShop, 3DS Max, etc; NOT some port, NOT some crack, NOT some virtual window, NOT some bullshit cobbled together 'solution' which has issues all the time... as it so happens, the combinations of all the s/w i have to have/use, are mostly windows-based; nothing i can do about that... IF linux could run ALL OF THOSE (AND the ones i don't know i need until next month, almost certainly windows-based), WITHOUT me having to become a penquinista, then i would be fine with linux...
while i do have some preferences over whether i would support -say- an open vs closed/proprietary OS; that is *totally* secondary to: DOES IT WORK ? ? ?
according to what you say (brief tldr), the supremes said it IS a brightline illegal search and seizure, THE MOMENT the traffic stop is done; and the kops say, um, well, no it is not ? ? ? ...and, THAT'S the end of it ? ? ?
WHAT was the point of the supreme court decision again ? ? ?

how about victims of carbon monoxide poisoning, what a bunch of fakers; didn't they *KNOW* they were being suffocated ? *snort*
however, i can also simultaneously hold in my mind the concept of too many crunchy tofu eaters who get their knickers in a twist about *ANYTHING* technological...
