...if only the Dark Side uses encryption, maybe that explains why they keep taking over the universe and the Light Side keeps getting subjugated and thus needs to rebel.
So if the TSA can't find weapons 95% of the time and they can't find cash 100% of the time, maybe we should change their mission to finding the world's missing socks.
State lawmakers, concerned that street level drug dealers will be unable to replace the heroin, crack cocaine and other poisons that the police seize when they arrest the dealers, will likely vote on the first day of the session on a bill requiring the police to return up to $300 to the dealers.
Let's diagnose that sentence against the signs and symptoms of drug abuse at drugabuse.com:
Drug abuse negatively affects a person's behavior and habits as he or she becomes more dependent on the drug. [There may be signs of dependency here. Keep going.] The drug itself can alter the brain's ability to focus and form coherent thoughts, depending on the substance. [The first sentence of the editorial definitely is incoherent. Anything else?]
Changes in behavior, such as the following, can indicate a problem with drug abuse:
Increased aggression. [He does seem angry.] Lethargy. [He wrote an editorial, so there's that.] Depression. [He sounds like he will be unhappy.] Sudden changes in a social network. [He wrote an editorial, so there's that.] Dramatic changes in habits and/or priorities. [Who needs "protect and serve" when you have "search and seize"?] Financial problems. [Ah. Now we're getting somewhere.] Involvement in criminal activity. [Just because it's legal doesn't make it right.]
Asset forfeiture: the gateway drug for government.
The "one hour" blackout also poses a problem. Who determines when the countdown starts? Those issuing the tickets? The EMS crew (if any)? The victims (if any)? An official clock located at Carney's office?
Carney's proposal is out of bounds, so the play clock would be stopped anyway.
An ad hominem argument attacks the speaker, rather than the argument. Where does Karl do that in the post? Rather, if there is a logical fallacy at play here, it would be your unsubstantiated post hoc ergo propter hoc comment.
The result is a more efficient operation that benefits everyone by freeing up network capacity—which is like broadband providers improving speeds, but without having to install new network lines.
Companies optimize streams not with the goal of "freeing up network capacity" but with the goals of: (1) reducing their own bandwidth usage, and (2) helping their customers receive the best product regardless of available bandwidth (and frequently assuming the worst). "Freeing up network capacity" is a mere side effect—and not the best foundation on which to construct a business. The ISPs better get back to increasing network capacity, either by installing new lines or otherwise increasing the capacity of existing lines ... or someone else will.
a. How can we make it harder for terrorists to leveraging the internet to recruit, radicalize, and mobilize followers to violence? b. How can we help others to create, publish, and amplify alternative content that would undercut ISIL?
To accomplish (a), eliminate the First Amendment. To accomplish (b), rely on the First Amendment.
Maybe it’s a game of Mad Libs and we are supposed to play along:
Welcome to the wonderful world of [ noun ]. Now you can watch the activities of Joey Bag-o-Doughnuts [ time and location ]. All you need is an [ noun beginning with a vowel ] and a [ noun ] on Bag-o-Doughnuts’ car.
Fisher's total spend may seem low, but that's just counting access to search results and docket reports. (The real money is in PDFs).
The alleged issue cited affects only reports generated in HTML format, such as docket reports, for which PACER apparently is attempting to estimate a page count. The PDF files already are segmented into pages, and the lawsuit makes no allegations about PDF files. So while PACER may get a lot of money from PDF files, they are irrelevant to this lawsuit.
