Judges don't give pardons, at least not in the US. Governors do (it's an executive power, not a judicial power, and one generally restricted to the chief executive personally). He'd have to go to the governor of the state where he was convicted of a felony (they typically have an office in charge of reviewing petitions for pardons). Judges can seal records, but AFAIK not only is it extremely uncommon to get a felony you committed as an adult sealed, but police can also access sealed records for background checks.

From the article, this was an appeal directly from the district court. It was extremely unlikely that the Supreme Court would review it; they almost never accept cases outside one of the two normal pipelines (for federal courts, district -> circuit -> Supreme; for state, whatever state process -> highest state court -> SCOTUS). As the article says, there are also other cases that have gone through the normal process whose cert petitions are pending. Alternatively, they could wait in this case till the appeals court rules and then take the case. Or they could take the other pending cases (that have gone through the process), combine them, and then combine that with this one when the Fifth Circuit rules here. The point is, this is not really much of a story (a more accurate headline is "Supreme Court Follows Standard Procedure with La. Gay Marriage Case").

Another claim that's true: This thread's topic is "Obama to propose free community college program," not "Barack Obama: Is he a good president?" MODERATOR NOTICE This thread is about the proposed community college subsidy. It is not about the NDAA, drone strikes, Benghazi, or any other thing whose only connection to education is "Obama/the federal government has something to do with it." Any further off-topic responses will be hidden.

The mod is LCPDFR; you use the / key to toggle between the light modes (in which the siren is muted), and * to unmute the siren.

IIRC, SNT hardcodes how many meshes are available in each prop slot, so you have to turn off TrainerMappedHatsAndGlasses or something like that in order to get it to let you select new props.

I mean, 5his technically counts as education (it's a college dorm), but my Internet speed in my bedroom measures out (depending on the server) somewhere north of 600 Mbps for both download and upload.

I've been slowly working my way through the Aubrey-Maturin series since last year (I like parts of it, just parts of it are slow, and when I hit those I tend to put it down for a while).

MODERATOR NOTICE Your thread has been moved to LCPDFR Discussion. The General & Miscellaneous Discussion section is a general purpose forum for all forms of miscellaneous discussion not catered for by any subject-specific forum.

If your first thought is "this will just devalue an associate's degree as a credential," I'm not sure you understand the purpose of education. Its signalling properties are supposed to be a side effect; there are actual benefits to further education that don't derive from signalling.

Disregard is actually just what LCPDFR does if it fails to correctly set up a callout (if some peds don't spawn or are immediately despawned, if flags aren't set right, etc.) If you're getting a lot of "Disregard" messages, it probably means your system specs aren't high enough (which causes IV to have resource issues, which causes callouts to not get set up properly).

ALPR wasn't incorporated in LCPDFR, to my knowledge; they implemented their own ALPR feature from scratch. The more complicated something is, the harder it is to implement it from scratch.

I'm not sure it's as simple as binding to the C++ scripthook. As I understand it, you'd need to launch the Python script in the context of the GTAIV.exe/EFLC.exe process (else the functions of aru's scripthook, which rely on having pointers into the GTA process's memory space, wouldn't be able to do their job). So you'd somehow have to get the Python loaded, which would require either making an ASI or using SHDN (I'm not aware of anything that loads scripts except ASI loaders and SHDN). To make that work, I'd think you'd need to either compile Python code down to native code (for an ASI), compile it down to .NET IL (for an SHDN script), find something that can launch an embedded Python interpreter and is easy-ish to use (also for an ASI), write your own code to launch an embedded Python interpreter (for an ASI), or write your own SHDN script or ASI to launch a Python runtime in the context of the game. You still do have to write a compatibility layer, though, unless IronPython doesn't need it (which it might not).

I have seen no report that clearly stated the police officers killed are unarmed. I have seen news sources making the claim that the first responding police were unarmed, seemingly based on a single statement from a single (British) journalist: "Three policemen had arrived on bikes but had to leave because the men were armed, obviously." That seems to be all any news source is relying on in claiming police are unarmed. Again: There is one claim that the police were unarmed. Literally every single source I can find about French law enforcement that does *not* involve that claim (e.g. things from before today) says that French national police and gendarmes are all armed. All of them. The only unarmed police are municipal police. Now, someone who thinks that means what it does in the US thinks the Paris police are municipal police, but I cannot find literally a single source that says that Paris has any municipal police. The problem with assuming that something that appeared in a lot of media reports is well-corroborated is that the media has a strong tendency to quote themselves; saying that many news sources made the claim doesn't change that they all based it off a single eyewitness, and so relying on that for corroboration is like seeing something you don't believe in the paper and buying 10 copies to convince yourself it's true.

I don't think there's a control in the INI; I'm pretty sure it isn't controlled by the game volume control (the fact that the download contains a bunch of WAV files says to me that it uses its own player to play sound, rather than playing it through IV). You could always turn *up* GTA IV's volume (to match LCPDFR) and turn down the system volume.

I'm pretty sure Paris police are armed. A survey of police weapons by the Library of Congress says that French national police and gendarmes are required to be armed on duty. French municipal police aren't all armed, but Paris doesn't have municipal police (it's patrolled by national police). Both officers who died were national police, so armed. So yeah. Armed police wouldn't prevent it because it didn't prevent it.

There's a button up top (next to the "Forum", "Downloads", etc. links) labelled "Donate."

As I recall, excessive surveillance was one of the caused of the revolution. It'd be different if there was any reason to trust that the government wouldn't look at your records because, say, you publicly promote political views they don't like (if you say "I have nothing to hide," you're lying, unless (at a minimum) you have done nothing ever in your entire life for which you'd have a problem if it was plastered over national TV). There is no reason to believe that. They've repeatedly violated surveillance laws, which means it's really pretty stupid to trust that they'll start paying attention to them in the future. To those saying "no one will have any motivation to look at your info if you haven't done anything illegal," you seem to have forgotten that there are plenty of things that might annoy law enforcement that are perfectly legal.

You're going to want to use the AH copy packaged with 1.0d; that should include all features ELS needs (if it didn't, the symptom would likely be a crash, not just something not working). If there are bugs, please create a support thread about it. You have those versions wrong. AH 0.29 was in 1.0b; ELS 8 had AH 0.33 (0.29 will not work for ELS 8, and will likely crash, which is the normal result of using a wrong version of a native DLL). 1.0c introduced AH 0.34; 1.0d uses .38, and you need to use the newest one.

IIRC, you just use OpenIV's "Open" button to open IMG files from all versions of the game but the primary one (i.e. the one installed with the installer, which is in the Registry as where the game is). It's kind of annoying, but that's the best way I know of to do it (other than having one copy be IV and one be EFLC).

MODERATOR NOTICE Your thread has been moved to the GTA IV Support Requests forum, as it is not an LCPDFR support request.

Probably, but I'd advise against it, and only do it if nothing else is plugged into that power strip. The extension cord is likely not rated to supply however many ports are on the power strip, and chaining together things that each increase the number of power outlets increases the risk of plugging too many things in, which is definitely a fire hazard. From what I can tell, the Alienware 18 adapter is 330 watts, which is more than most devices; many cheap extension cords aren't great to use long-term with that kind of load, and plugging more into the power strip (which is likely to be tempting) takes it to "definitely a bad idea." Some of this depends on how far it'll have to stretch and what kind of extension cord it is. It also might be better to plug the computer into the extension cord, and plug that into the power strip. As a general rule of thumb, you should never plug a port-multiplying device into another port-multiplying device; it's too easy to accidentally overload something when doing that. Port-multiplying devices should really go straight into the wall, especially if you plan on using this long-term.
