You can't just build a bigger wall to avoid tsunami.
Well, it's certainly something I'd entertain as a plausible solution to that particular problem. That being said though, I'd probably build my reactors inland just a bit.
Now that cell phone usage has been restricted (hands free kits only), I see people driving while talking. They're a lot safer, but they don't bother indicating - they can't, their hands are busy holding the phone.
Whuh?
I dunno. I guessed speakerphone? I paused on reply to OP, and moved on, but you've enticed me to speak.
I swear the only reason I'm still getting cable is so my wife can watch current Reality TV. I would absolutely love to get rid of my cable and only pay for Netflix and high-speed.
They give tickets for people who've run red lights and been captured by the camera. This would be no different. Electronic witness versus electronic witness. The camera doesn't lie... well, the GPS doesn't lie, either.
I've heard that (in Canada) their devices (radar guns, camera sites) require calibration/certification for usage in court. I wonder if the GPS data would be actionable.....
I wasn't trying to disprove anything. I asked a question. No need to be a jerk. I hear on the news and CNN and other articles is how much trouble these guys get in for their shoot 1st ask questions later actions, and yet nothing ever seems to happen. Are they exercising government policy when this stuff happens?
That's right. Just like I typed it before. That's a pretty shallow remark to a honest question. They are contract employees, not government employees. Not Peace Officers, Deputies, Marshals, Sheriffs, or any other sworn-in title you want to give them.
A private business doesn't have the special right to employ coercion (meaning physical force) as a business model. Government does have that special right -- in fact, that special right is precisely what defines government and differentiates government from everybody else.
How does that compare to the private security companies being contracted in Iraq and Afghanistan? Serious question.
I've tried with a home-based business. I'd say that (for me) it was almost impossible to get anything done without being a complete failure as a parent. Kids don't get that "Daddy's busy."
That's what I do. My oldest does "after school" care while my youngest does full-time preschool. Drop them both off on the way to work, and pick up on the way back. Almost $13, 000 cdn on my tax receipt for 2010.
I was late getting to work one day because a wire thief climbed a pole to cut wire and when he did, the pole fell over onto the street with him still on it, so ya, real work example. He died, and the cops got his accomplice.
We have lots of copper thievery where I live and we now require people to show photo ID and records to be retained by the scrap dealers. It still happens a lot, so it may have to come to some kind of registry.
I'm continuously surprised what balls these thieves have.
OS bugs aside, It all depends on usage, heat, storage, charge cycles, and cell quality... That's why they'll only offer you a 1 year warranty on a battery.
I already retired my original iPhone for a Motorola Droid 2 months ago, with Google Voice and Tethering being two of the big reasons for doing so.
How do you guys all afford this? It costs me like $300 + for a no-contract phone, and I have to tough it out till the thing dies..... I remember being proud of my Treo.
I wish I could play with the Flav-O-The-Day.
Just jealous. Move along.

Seriously.... best reply I've read here yet. Offtopic.. pffft!
Fucking awesome reply. What??? It was!

And you all thought it'd be Skynet.....
I was, sir. I was.

Making content delivery 'more efficient'? WTF?
Do you know anything about VIDEO and AUDIO? ITS BIG DATA. And in 2012 it will be bigger, and in 2013 it will be bigger...
I wouldn't worry so much about that 2013 problem.

Well there you go. Sorry about your cornflakes.

I think that's a very relevant point.

How is this flamebait? As I see it, this comment directly addresses the question....
Frosty Piss, that was fekking awesome.

No, I think all of us have had mothers at some stage in our lives.
I think he meant AC's mom.
Ya, I'll watch this dog and pony show too... I thought it was just the Stoli at 1st.
