  1. Is it just me or is this mayor guy just a little bit crazy?
  2. I am not going to say that the XP downgrade is a good thing or a bad thing for what you want but I would not by a PC with a windows Vista operating system. Vista has been constantly troubled by problems and has been constantly updated and upgraded so that it functions well. There are many problems with the vista operating system as a whole, if I were to get a PC I would rather it be on XP then Vista, Vista has been a snafu for Microsoft and now they are going to release a windows 7 if I am not mistaken to fix some if not many of the issues that many people are having with Vista. If the software can support mac then go for that, by far the best computer I have ever owned, easy to use and never any problems ever, it even updates, saves and configures itself....I dont think they make a tough or duty ready Mac however.
  3. Very cool looking rig. The inside also looks very well laid out with a lot of space inside. Any specific reason for going with the extended cab?
  4. TCD http://public.fotki.com/lfd171/westchester...utility_86.html http://www.elmsfordfd.com/fullstory.php?72210 http://www.elmsfordfd.com/fullstory.php?73144 http://www.elmsfordfd.com/fullstory.php?70493
  5. Here is an article I found on "SWATing": http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/T/TEC...EMPLATE=DEFAULT Has anything like this happened in Westchester? These are truly malicious, a waste of resource, felonious, dangerous games that some internet idiots are playing with potentially deadly consequences.
  6. looks good....scary another good job by SWS
  7. Thanks for sharing....I really look forward to seeing this movie. I just wish I got HBO in the dorms.
  8. Looks great....when is delivery expected?
  9. I miss spoke, I should have not included the word quicker. The light does not travel faster as you pointed out, it is just that because it is higher in energy and frequency the human eye sees blue light better and at a higher intensity than red.
  10. Yes but suck for winter and for safety 110%.
  11. Question: Where the Con-Ed vacuum trucks used, it is hard to tell if they were by the pictures and video on lohud.com? If so how where they used? Pictures: http://jukebox.lohud.com/photos/refers/ind...scue%2002-12-09
  12. Shameful and disgusting..... hopefully the owners, who should have been responsible for the condition of the building and keeping it up to fire code should be found guilty.... But we need to wait and see what the outcome of that one is. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/14/nyregion...tml?_r=1&hp
  13. Interesting article on the steps being taken for increased medical helicopter safety.... From the New York Times Website: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/03/business/03copter.html?em
  14. Agreed, this is just the facts....this is the most important paragraph in the entire document. "In fact, due to their lower frequency, at similar RF exposure levels, the body absorbs up to five times more of the signal from FM radio and television than from base stations. This is because the frequencies used in FM radio (around 100 MHz) and in TV broadcasting (around 300 to 400 MHz) are lower than those employed in mobile telephony (900 MHz and 1800 MHz) and because a person's height makes the body an efficient receiving antenna. Further, radio and television broadcast stations have been in operation for the past 50 or more years without any adverse health consequence being established."

  16. Do you mean the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Kiryas Joel, Orange County. No idea about chief though.... http://www.exit109.com/~mikezac/departments/kiryasjoel.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiryas_Joel,_New_York http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&...l=en&tab=wl
  17. Being a cop is a hard job, and I have the up-most respect for those who decide that they want to risk life and limb defending me, my family and those around me from dangers in my community. With that being said, I can not place 100% faith or trust in the government or the police. I have seen it too often fail those who it is designed to protect and extend its reach beyond the scope legally allowed by law. I will not stand for a violation of my rights or the rights of others. Too often in this country under reactionists and hawks who have defined policy for this country for longer than I have been alive, the privacy and the rights of average Americans has been ignored or bent to fit what they feel will make this country safe even it is illegal. (Warrent-less wire-tapping for example). A great American once said "they who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." that man was Benjamin Franklin. From these incidents I, like many of my generation, for example JM15 it seems, have little or no faith, trust in those who "job" it is keeping us safe. Nor should we with the failure of those we give power and their flagrant abuse of laws and rights My incident with the officer who wanted to search me was based the presumed belief by the particular officer who thought that every teenager out after 11PM has felonious amount of drugs and is intoxicated. I said he needed to A. prove to me he had probable cause B. that I failed a field sobriety test in order for him to gain to right to conduct a search. I passed the test and he could not convince me that he had any cause what so ever so I left, Im sure anyone here would have done the same thing. And for those of who you care, I should be no more informed about my rights and willing to enact my rights than the average American citizen. It is a shame more people are not aware of their rights or ignore their own rights. Maybe it would be good for those parties involved if this was not the case so things were done correctly and not out of convenience and corruption. I am no more ignorant than I am overly informed and passionate. It goes without saying, QTIP because I don't and neither should you......
  18. Thank you for posting this for everyone
  19. What about the eighth amendment? The eighth amendment protects against "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." Overcrowding of prisons in a unsafe, unhealthy or otherwise cruel manner can be and just has been considered a violation of the eighth amendment.
  20. Wheres OJ...reminds me of the movie Towering Inferno. How do you go about fighting a fire burning an entire building other than a lot of water.
  21. I was thinking the same thing but it could also be the homeowner if the homeowner was a current or former fireman.
  22. Thats a high hose bed. Are there any advantages of a remote controlled deck gun verse a traditional deck gun? Looks great....love the chevrons
  23. Hahahaha......the third one is the best.
  24. What I mean is that the statement "if have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear" is nothing more than police propaganda/mind tricks in-order to have suspects/members of the public to wave their constitutional rights. The right being waved is the forth amendment, the right against unusual search and seizure. The forth amendment is designed to protect American citizens from the government going in with little or no evidence from searching and seizing property in search of evidence without probable cause. The above statement implies that one should wave their rights because they have nothing to hide, which then completely ignores the 4th Amendment. While I know trickery and twisting words are part of police work, all it takes is a police officer to exploit the ignorance of one member of society who thinks "they have nothing to hide" when they do and dont know it and someone goes to jail. For the record, an officer quoted "if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear" to me when asking to search my person and my belongings and I promptly told him to get a warrant otherwise I was leaving and you know what, I left and the officer was stuck with a nothing but a waste of his own time.
