    "I fully intend to cooperate but I wish to remain silent until my lawyer is present"

    It's simple: Never talk to the police without an attorney. Ever. I don't care if you are guilty or innocent. It simply cannot help you, but it can harm you greatly. Of course, it is important to define "talk." Exchanging pleasantries is not talking. Conversing with a police officer during a...

    Groupon: Merchants are really offering 75% off

    All the information I can find so far suggests that the merchant receives 50% regardless of redemption rate, less CC processing fees, separated into three payments made over the duration of the deal.

    Groupon: Merchants are really offering 75% off

    Plus, local retailers know how to upsell. Using your hypothetical, let's say the average customer spends $20. Take away the the $10 discount, and add in the 25% of the discount that the retailer gets back from Groupon, and the retailer just brought in $12.50 for a sale valued at $20. That's...

    M1 Garand

    I bought a service grade Garand from the CMP about 3 years ago. It's a lot of fun to shoot. You won't regret buying it.

    Is Law school worth it? (lawyers please)

    I'm not an attorney yet, but I am a 2L at a T1 law school. Here are my thoughts. If you know that you want to be an attorney, go to law school and don't let anyone talk you out of it because the market is saturated and jobs are hard to find. But if you're on the fence about being a lawyer, or...

    A question about getting pulled over.

    NEVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH! The only proper response to a search request is to politely decline: "Officer, I do not consent to a search of my car or my person, but I will comply with any lawful orders." Think about it. You have nothing to gain by consenting. If the officer has probable cause to...

    YAGunT: What's your concealed carry?

    :thumbsup: I have two CCW guns: A full-size 1911 and a Walther PPK. When I need to be discrete, I pocket carry the PPK. It is a fantastic gun.

    Girl kills pregnant mother and child is now suing the family of the people she killed

    Assuming everything in the article is true, this is ridiculous. It wouldn't be as bad if this was a counterclaim, since the way our legal system is setup, all claims and counterclaims must be made before the trial begins, otherwise plaintiffs and defendants are bared from raising them forever...

    what is your a/c set at?

    77F. If I set it any higher, the fans on my computer will adjust to their highest speed, and the noise is annoying.

    Woman 2, thugs 0, after home invasion

    The two are not mutually exclusive. Even in states with felony murder provisions, a victim can still be charged if the prosecutor has a reason for it (e.g., excessive force used in self-defense that results in death).

    why is it fun plinking w/.22 handgun @ range?

    Cheap ammo, great for practicing shooting technique, and perfect for introducing new shooters to handguns.

    Suit advice?

    While the number of alterations isn't likely to be a factor here, the loss of 30 lbs is probably going to prohibit obtaining a proper fit through alterations. If I were your friend, I'd buy a new suit.

    Screen Protectors - Iphone4

    I have the BoxWave ClearTouch installed on my iPhone 4. It is very clear (I can't see it unless I go out of my way to find an edge), fits great, and doesn't seem to affect the screen sensitivity or the feel of the screen. I've been using BoxWave screen protectors for years on my phones and they...

    Does Band of Brothers ever get interesting?

    Oh Luz, there you go again with your jokes! You're so funny! The first episode is probably my favorite. It really shines after you've seen the series and go back and watch it again, since you know all the characters.

    How much have you paid for a nice suit?

    The number one give away when it comes to cheap suits is the fit, since most people who buy cheap suits don't get them properly tailored. Having said that, I've also seen some terrible fitting expensive suits and some good fitting cheap suits. Even a relatively cheap suit off-the-rack can look...

    How much have you paid for a nice suit?

    I had all of mine made to measure and they weren't cheap (~$900 a piece). I'm small, so it was the only way to get suits that fit properly. Plus, it's tough to find three piece suits when shopping off-the-rack.

    New Old Spice Commercial with the "I'm on a horse" Guy :)

    Yeah, I think that's what a lot of people tend to do. I like to consider VFX, CGI, special effects, and editing as different types of manipulation.

    New Old Spice Commercial with the "I'm on a horse" Guy :)

    Wire rig system plus a fake set of legs on the motorcycle. Sure they had to do some wire removal and other cleanup in post, but that's not really CGI. That's VFX.

    So, you would need two to lift your mom? OH, SNAP! :D In all seriousness, that crane is massive and awesome. It would be fun to see in action.

    Dress Shoe Recomendations

    You can call AEs a lot of the things, but "old" is not one of them. For the most part, they make timeless shoes that will always be appropriate.

    APA style annotated bibliographies - please kill me!

    Until you start doing citations using the Bluebook legal citation guide, you have no room to complain. Legal citations are the worst.

    The Official iPhone 4 Thread

    I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but I was able to order a new iPhone from Apple earlier today. My order status page shows it as shipping the second week of July. So, it looks like the ordering freeze has been lifted.

    Breaking Bad

    For what it's worth, Walt's home is a real house in Albuquerque: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24869473@N02/4475763892/in/set-72157623732482564/ I have no idea if the house is used to film the interior scenes. My guess is that the interior scenes are shot on a set.

    First time website builder's dilemma.. I need your feedback

    Hire a web designer as an independent contractor, and specify that you own the rights to any work product that he creates for you. However, keep in mind that your worst case scenario is unlikely. First, there is a slim chance that he will steal your idea in the first place. Chances are, it's...

    The largest street gang in America

    Your "question" has a false premise because it presumes that I would convict an officer using a different standard than any civilian. You then proceed to interject that "that's not how it works" as if I had made the argument to the contrary. My point is that you should refrain from asking...

    The largest street gang in America

    That's not what I said. Perhaps you should focus more on asking questions than trying to put words in peoples' mouths.

    The largest street gang in America

    Holding people to different standards does not usually implicate any constitutional rights, especially when those people are working in a public capacity.

    Man accidentally shoots himself in testicles! CCW FTL

    Modern 1911 clones all feature firing pin safeties. The chances of one discharging when dropped are slim. While I wouldn't carry one without a holster, it's really not any more unsafe.

    Do you own the domain name of your real name?

    Yup. I've been using it for years, mainly for email. People always think it's pretty when I give them my email address.

    I'm trying to figure out what size suit to wear

    I'm a big fan of cuffs and pleats, but flat front pants and no cuff is a great look, too. The choice of one over the other has nothing to do with age or maturity. It's personal preference, and somewhat dependent on body-type.

    I'm trying to figure out what size suit to wear

    Do yourself a favor and head over to Ask Andy About Clothes. Spend a little time on his site, especially the Forum, and you'll get the information you need. I can tell you right now that the jacket you are trying on is way too small if you cannot move your arms in all directions.

    What's been your most valued purchase in the past 12 months?

    This year it's probably my Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded electric guitar. It may not be a Standard, but I love the way this guitar sounds and feels while playing. I'm also a big fan of the "natural" finish.

    Worth it to upgrade 40D to 5D Classic?
