Ya know what? I'm starting to think you folks are right.
I'm tired, cranky, and a little pissed that the cops were called.
But I'm overreacting.
I needed an anandtech check.
I totally understand that they're doing their job. I just have a huge problem with the argument "if you have nothing to hide, you should completely cooperate with the police."
There are many, MANY problems with this argument (some of which I outlined on my original post). Are there no civil...
Actually I don't completely disagree with the call that the neighbor made. We were a *little* suspicious.
But after seeing that I live in the building, I hardly see why I'm supposed to submit to a database search.
So what defines suspicious?
If you're wearing a turban?
If you speak Arabic?

-- Have the option to purchase...

What's ironic though is that this guy's grandfather was a Nazi! Apparently after the war there were a contingent of Nazis that escaped to...

He's one of those guys for which you're not sure whether he even knows where the tongue-in-cheek begins and the I-think-I'm-a-serious-artist ends.

It would help to have some more information:
Are you an outdoor rower as well??? (Really that's just because I'm curious -- I've always felt that the ergometer is really painful and definitely not the most fun or low impact way of doing your cardio).
