You already pay for electricity and water this way, why not millage? The state would simply have to check the odometer once a year (durring emmision inspections would be easy).
It's already a crime to tamper/roll back an odometer, so you don't need a new 'law to protect the law'.
And if you go out of state, you can simply get a reciept at the border. (States like california already stops everyone to check for fruit/plants. Just look at the odometer while your at it.)
Man this one is begging for it too!

Unfortunately you can only send data one way--downstream.
> ANY Multi-Victim accident has some triaging, not as formal....it might be just as simple as deciding which patient your going to go to first...
This is precicely what I was refering to, although I am not aware of the statistics for the numbers of victims at a typical accident site. Nor the proportions of 'hiden' injuries which avoid visual, or even self, inspection.
As for the infitite factors in a crash affecting a persons health: More than just the car's acceleration can be measured (steering column impact foce, for example?). And while it is by no means perfect, the system merely needs to increase the chances of getting the right ammont of attention to the right person in order for the technology to be usefull.
And, yes, there would need to be a much easier/quicker way for the medics to get the info than a plug on the side of the car. How bout led's that blink at a speed proportional to some risk level measured by internal sensors? You could use the pre-existing break/turn lights. Again, it may not be perfect, but an incremental improvement would make it a useful response tool.
> We are trained to always assume the worst, and take universal precautions when packaging, transporting and treating trauma patients. Imagine getting in a wreck and hearing the EMT treating you say "this patient only experienced 3.4 Gs in that wreck, let's just skip the spinal immobilization on this one".
This is all fine and dandy in a world of infinite resources. But you yourself admit earlier that your Squad could use more money for medical equimpent. In the real world, we have limited resources to help people, making "universal precautions" for everyone, in all situations, no matter the # of people in a crash, a fantasy.
It is often neccessary to devote more time/resources to those more in need (the guy with 20Gs) than those with more minor injuries. It would be nice to give everyone all the attention in the world, but if you don't have enough people/supplies it isn't going to happen. And if the injuries in an accident are beyond the available resources, there comes the unpleasurable task of deciding who doesn't get care. It's called trioche (sp?). It's an unpleasant but unavoidable truth in situations where casualties outmatch the available medical help.
If this technology means that a medic stops helping someone with minor lacerations to give more attention to someone with internal injuies no one knew about, good. Whether the technology has value can only be determined if it is shown to increase the probibility of detecting such 'undetectable' injuries.
>A tool with but one purpose and that is to kill. Killing is illegal...
Incorrect. The proper purpose of the gun (when used on a person) is to stop the person, not kill them. Although you never use this level of force if you care if the person lives, it isn't murder. (This means that when they stop/run/ fall you can't keep shooting them.)
There are times when this level of force is legal: either defending yourself or another from violence. There are times when it is not: the person is not doing anything or is running away. When the level of force used is inappropriate, it becomes a crime and if the person dies it then becomes an illegal act--murder.
Yes, when improperly or inappropriately used, a gun can be used for murder. But then again, so can an automobile, or even fists.
let it do all its processing in the past.
Uh, and where is this computer that existed a billion years in the past to which you are going to send information to going to come from? You said yourself we couldn't send it back there ourselves. *sarcasm* Perhaps space aliens will build it for us.*/sarcasm*
as it can use billions of years for processing...and then use them again if it needs more time
Except that the computer would still be bussy with the first computation, so you'd need another computer. You'd need a compter for every computation you ever wanted to do (or do the problems sequentialy)
Of course we have problems making computers last months/years, how are you going to make a computer run for billions of years without breaking? And where are you going to put it? Mabe that what the pyramids realy are for!
But public institutions are held to a higher level of scrutiny and accountability than privately owned property.
The public has a vested intrest in the security of what are esentialy it's agencies. I am personaly more vulearble when my country has a weaker army. I am not made more vulnerable by my neighbor forgetting to lock his door.
What if I said "My political opponent said somthing alarming on page 56 of his new book." Does "the user... experience something different from what [he] intended" and if so am I therefore not allowed to refer to pages of his book, only to say the book name and tell the audience to find the quote themselves?
Sound pretty rediculous when put in terms of a physical medium. Not to mention my 1st amendment right to say "such and shuch information can be found at this and that location."
First: Personaly, if I were a woman, I would have a hard time deciding to have an abortion. But like all hard life decisions, it's one I wouldn't want the govornment to make it for me.
But the Supreme Court's ruling on abortions is completely based on the fact that the embryo affects the woman's body, and ignores her right of choice. What effect with this technology have if the courts find that this allows the embryo to be grown independant of the woman's body / health? (Especialy if the extraction is as invasive or less than the abortion). Women may be forced to incubate. Of course all families will still have the same right they always had to put the child up for adoption.
At first this appears to be a defeat for pro-choice. But look at the reasons most women want the abortion: health, too young, not ready for a child in their life. All of these are solved by adoption, and the health and pain aspect is elimiated.
Of course there is still the fact that a child of your's still exists in the world which would cause pro-choicers to continue their argument. "I don't want another child in a wold like this world." But realy this is about self-guilt. When these arguments are made, no one ever sugests stopping other peoples children from coming into the world. If anything the mother should have been more careful if this was her view (tube-tying is still available). Mistakes are made, but living with them is part of being human.
And who says all forms of female sterility are genetic? Some can be caused by disease/environment. And since an artificial womb demands selection of egg and sperm, why not just choose embryos that don't contain the genetic 'defect' if there is one.
But it was the fuel. Jet fuel burns hotter than most combustable materials. So hot infact that it caused the mettal supports to eventualy melt/soften and buckle. Hydrogen would give a quick but relatively colder boom and disipate. Some floors would be lost, but structural integrity would remain.
Of course imagine if Hindenberg had been piloted into a crowded stadium, etc. People are not built of steel.
One of those abandoned missile silos would make a nice hosting site, too. Yeah. So CmdrTaco and CowboyNeal can finaly keep away from all those groupies they keep attracting. Too bad the Beatles didn't have one for a sound stage.
Actualy there are still 4. C-G and G-C are unique. That's because only one side of the DNA ever codes for anything useful. The other side is the negative so copies can be made. (Note the 'useful' side can be different for different genes) so (A-T)(C-G)(A-T) and (A-T)(G-C)(A-T) code for two completely different amino acids. Each base pair still encodes for two bits of data, not one.
That's where Jones made his big debut. And don't forget the other actors. There's that guy from Road Trip. And what's her name from Boogie Nigts.

the article states: "TiVo won't let you set the clock on your own recording unit. You have to connect it to a phone line so they can set it for you..." Sounds like the box won't work at all without the hookup.
I wouldn't blame this one on NASA too much. How often to we hear about commercial sattelites and other sattelites for govornments getting destroyed by the launch vehicle f**king up?
Yes. But unfortunately we gathered valuable negative information on the Pegasus. No information was gathered on the scramjet they had spent most of the money on.
Unless, of course, the software decides to trust the wrong gyroscope, sending your spacecraft into a spin and taking it months to precess back to the point where it can get enough power to thaw its fuel.:-)
BTW. Awsome work you guys are doing. And glad you guys were able to get it back after the accident. How's the SUMER instrument doing?
As they say in the article: "The only negative effects this could have on the broadcasting industry that I can see is that those viewers wouldn't watch the episodes on TV and not get exposed to the commercials which power the episodes," said the anonymous trader.
To bad this is the only source of revinue for the networks. Also, spoiling the plot for people who hear about the show (not even seeing it) can cause them to not watch.
You're a college grad out on there own. You probably don't have an ISP: you don't even have a house/apartment yet and you've been an ethernet junkie for 4 years. Work? Soon, but not just yet. And who the hell uses an internet email address if you get your mail from campus servers quick and easy.
I personaly would trust my school with my mail much more than the other three any way
Yes. In fact it means that they can do every single other NP problem. If you can do one, you can do them all. All you have to pay is a measly polynomial time conversion cost. (Of course this polynomial could have HUGE constants in it, but theoretical CS people only care about the O() of a problem.)
