Boston Marathon bomber POS gets the death penalty. Good by me.

I am slightly surprised. I know that ~2/3 of the States have the death penalty, but I would have figured one of the first to not have it would be Mass.

Guess I was wrong about that.
 
From the NY Times:

The Tsarnaev verdict goes against the grain in Massachusetts, which has no death penalty for state crimes and where polls showed that residents overwhelmingly favored life in prison for Mr. Tsarnaev. Many respondents said that life in prison for one so young would be a fate worse than death, and some worried that execution would make him a martyr.

But the jurors in his case had to be death qualified that is, they all had to be willing to impose the death penalty to serve on the jury. So in that sense, the jury was not representative of the state.
 
Interestingly, a different acronym POS is something we use on my job. It leads to frequent bouts of the giggles for me.

At work, it stands for Proof of Sale.

So Harmony's notes for a warranty evaluation might include something like, Client returned 3 phones along with POS.

I just bought a Dash camera off of ebay. Seems like very cheap insurance. Only $30 with delivery.

how does it work in terms of memory? It's on all the time you drive and then you periodically have to clear it if nothing happened?
ok, I guess I answered my own question :ahawut:


As long as it is plugged in it will record when the car is on and it will auto record over the video if the memory card gets full. I do a lot of driving and I thought for $40, why not try one... maybe I will get some cool video.
