    Crime Man shot churchgoers over liberal views

    Before the news of his motivations came out, there were a number of local message board posters who proclaimed how "inappropriate" and "irresponsible" it was that news organizations were speculating that the gunman's acts may have been a hate crime against gays, due to the fact the this church...

    General Carlin, counterculture comedians' dean, dies at 71

    Dam, I was hoping he would live forever. There's too many nutjobs and dingbats running around out there. We need more guys like him to help balance things out.

    Windows - How to get a variable substring in a for loop

    This regards code used in the Windows command line. I know how to pull a substring out of a variable, but I don't know how to get a substring out of a variable in a for loop. When I try the following command... for %G in (Input_Files\*) do echo %G:~12% ...I get this...

    Crime Japan man stalks toll-free line to hear woman's voice

    They said that is cost the company a lot of money. So apparently, the cost of the call is paid by the company, and not the customer. I'm not sure what the exact law states in that area, but it is likely to be "understood" that you shouldn't call such a number unless you have legitimate...

    Sci/Tech It's a Bus. It's a Train. It's Both!

    Yes, but am also referring to all components of the secondary drive system, including the 4 extra wheels. My point is: what would be the most fuel efficient solution? Having a city full of buses and commuter trains that weight as little as possible? Or having twice as many of these hybrid...

    World Russian justice 'fails thousands'

    Russia probably has more natural resources than any other country in the world. But their harsh climate and terrain has made it difficult for them to fully exploit these things. The difficult climate and terrain of Russia has both blessed and cursed the Russian people, in that it has...

    Sci/Tech It's a Bus. It's a Train. It's Both!

    I don't really understand the economical advantage, unless the problem is that there aren't enough streets where you live. These vehicles will weigh more, due to the fact that they have to carry around twice the drivetrain weight. This may be more convenient for commuters, since you don't have...

    Crime Woman with brain disorder arrested and locked up because police thought she was drunk

    Of course, but be honest (not you, them) and call it what it is. Having a DUI on your record is uncalled for if you're not really drunk. If the laws are lax then change them, and let this be a public talking point for the matter. For instance, many states have different requirements for a...

    As a resident of the southeastern US, I can confidently report that we are well stocked with kooks and dingbats here as well.

    Crime Woman with brain disorder arrested and locked up because police thought she was drunk

    One of things that cops test for it if the side-to-side movement of your eyes is jumpy, which can be a sign of intoxication. But, my eyes do that a lot, especially at night, due to an eye condition I have. I hope that they have a breathalyser on hand if I get into a similar situation. DUI...

    Did he never think to record the message? Then, he could just play it back on a loop.

    Creep Guard Position problem

    Neural hostile units do not seem to obey commands very well. I think it would be best to have the unit owned by a player 1 - 12 slot.

    Gaming Encryption chip will end piracy, open markets, says Bushnell

    Does anyone have a list of these currently complying manufacturers? The only way that you could force a manufacturer to implement these protocols is with legislation. But, enacting legislation takes far longer than it takes for someone to solve the puzzle and spread the news. This appears...

    Gaming Encryption chip will end piracy, open markets, says Bushnell

    Considering the widespread use of mod chips for game consoles, finding a hardware solution probably wouldn't be to difficult for the average person.

    US News Medical marijuana: How much is enough?

    Everything is subject to moral analysis, and every law enforcement officer has a choice. I could easily hear similar line of thought coming from a Nazi soldier who passed his days "following orders" and murdering helpless people. If you remove your actions from moral consideration, then...

    US News Medical marijuana: How much is enough?

    Yeah, but then you risk gettin busted. I saw an episode of COPS once, where an undercover unit was bustin people on the street. They busted this one guy that was all shaky and pale. They asked if he was alright and he said that he was dying of cancer. He had a morphine pump, but it apparently...
