    They don't run code you uninformed clod. The algortithm is just expressed in combinatory logic. That is what they get their speed from.

    Well, there's a problem. There just no reliable data vaccines actually work. The decline in cases could very well be from other causes like hygiene, better houses and better food.

  18. Re:Australia on Texas Drivers Stopped At Roadblock, Asked For Saliva, Blood · · Score: 1

    Most of us agree, that the baddies need to be stopped, and and the reckless idiots protected from themselves to a degree, but the rest of us should be treated friendly and correctly. There's no excuse for harrassing normal folks.

  19. Re:Australia on Texas Drivers Stopped At Roadblock, Asked For Saliva, Blood · · Score: 1

    I feel there's no way a blood test can be forced upon someone in a routine test, without there being serious suspition that the person is under influence. If they agree voluntarily, then ok.

  20. Re:Some robbers use the same language on Texas Drivers Stopped At Roadblock, Asked For Saliva, Blood · · Score: 1

    I would like them to be friendly and correct and explain themselves and their intention clearly, and display no powergames whatsoever before it is very clear that you're not going to cooperate. So.... Goodmorning sir, we're conducting a routine drug test on all drivers passing this area. If you agree, we will be taking a saliva sample and a breathalizer test. Would your be willing to cooperate? (Relaxed guys standing on the side chatting, weapons hidden, keeping half an eye on what's happening)

  21. Re:I do not consent on Texas Drivers Stopped At Roadblock, Asked For Saliva, Blood · · Score: 1

    >I am curious, how do you think the police should be able to look for people drink driving? I have been stopped many times for a booze test and every time it was a cop, usually a female asking politely if I would like to cooperate with an alcohol test. Knowing there was nothing to be found I said yes every time and then blowed in the handheld machine and then it gives a happy beep stating that everything is fine and then We say thanks and goodbye. I kind of agree with this scenario. It doesn't take long, noone is harassed and off ya go. Unless you're boozed up (>2 pints) or refuse, then they take you to the station for a blood test.

  22. Re:I know how to... on Telegraph Contributor Says Coding Is For Exceptionally Dull Weirdos · · Score: 1

    Yes, every job is important. I think he means that knowledge about coding is something the MAJORITY of children will have little use for later in life, so he'd rather have children learn about something more universally useful at school. The ones that really want it will learn it anyway. Teaching coding to teachers might be problematic also. (although I feel that every teacher should be comfortable with boolean logic instead of sending the wise asses to the principal)
