i wanna see how Kinect works on a PC for someone with Parkinsons or Tourrettes (the twitching kind not verbal kind).
yeah and i had positive karma for almost 2 days
The tv news stations just said that. Hope she pulls through. Partisan crap aside, this is always tragic and always a crappy example of resolution of differences in a country that is as great as ours.
^that was me while sitting in a bar. wasnt going to spend 10 minutes logging my blackberry in.
DeVry school of medicine still cracks me up. I worked for an Orthopod back in the day who told an old joke----how many chiropractors does it take to screw in a lightbulb? only one but he has to adjust it once a week forever!
My Chiropractor's been blaming vaccinations for 10 years. Somehow, it took two generations to work. My mom and her cohorts got these vaccines in the 50s. None of them got Autism. It requires more research than I have the patience to do.
this is what happens when "having more money than you can spend" extends to IT hardware..
example--"ok bill, we threw a jetski up a ramp and through a picture window, we destroyed some racecars, now lets dump money into careless risk with IT hardware"
the cops around here, noble guys as they may be. cannot differentiate their mouse and keyboard.
They paid for half my beer money when I was in college by downloading every type of crap imaginable and hiring me to repair/remove it.
there is a lot of common sense and fairness in your argument but as a self-employed businessman (the highest tax bracket in the US) who has no kids or debt to write-off.... I don't lose a lot of sleep on the fact that some american who would have caused an accident like you described will pay 15 thousand in fines.
I wish humans were a smart enough species(in general) to use this as an incentive to call a cab and spend 40 bucks to get home legally.
I get your argument but i was catering to the reality that a lot of people who carelessly abuse alcohol cause injury to others and that once in the process of consuming alcohol, judgement drops exponentially. I drank 4 beers tonight.. I spread them out over 4 hours and drove home quite sober and well below the legal limit. had i done them in brevity or chose to drink liquor in abrupt succession, I would have used a cab.
while you are correct in that 0.07 is NOT illegal in states where the limit is 0.08... I add that unless you wait the exact amount of time following your last swallow *which it is impossible to accurately ascertain* it is not feasable to say "i know i wont be drunker at any time"... i mean unless you wait 2 hours, then you know your BAC is going to have declined and no bar that I know of would let you sit around buying nothing for two hours.
you cant start a business without capital. 6-12 month's operating expenses, first year's advertizing budget should be 75% of expenses to ensure brand awareness.
well those business owners are missing a huge market.. i gotta go secure a 100,000 dollar loan and some living arrangements in Macon MO or Silana KS.Why hasnt someone capitalized on this?
I agree with you EpyTR, but I regretfully also get that we cant pass over that kid and grab Hassaan at the gate because some lawyer's gonna have a field day and next week, that lawyers gonna help hassan get $1M from the govt and adopt a disabled anglo kid to strap explosives to.
I havent been to the back of the jungles of Brazil but I've travelled heavy domestically and even the most rural areas to which I've been sent had taxis. You just had to man-up some initiative and dial a phone to get them when you weren't stepping off a plane at the airport.
Again, man-enough to get your drink-on, man-enough to get a cab.It might cost you a couple bucks if you live 84 miles southwest of Pierre SD but still better than driving over a kid.
Bet you flunked freshman english.
At which, an orangutan could be trained to generate a passing grade.
This guy missed the lesson where they taught "communication skills are the highmark of intellect".

If you drive with a 0.07, which is marginally close to illegal, you should be in the backseat of a cab. dont pretend this makes no sense to you.
that's like arguing attempted murder vs murder.. "your honor, the guy pulled through, that means im not a bad person"
your argument reflects that logic.
drink a soda=drive yourself home
drink alcohol=call a cab.
if you can afford to party, you can afford a cab.
I will however argue against (at the proper time) people who are picked up and fined for opting to walk while drunk. This is contradictory and I know a woman who walked home and got arrested. I think someone opting to leave their car should receive something of a pat-on-the-back. unless they are rowdy or doing something so destructive that it alone would warrant a fine, leave them be.
nobody riding in the back seats of taxis has ever been administered a breath test and issued a DUI or DWI.
this will get -100 because the alkies are running slashdot now.
Remember back when Slashdot was a bastian of intellect? This guy exemplifies the grammar skill that we have all come to expect from other mensans. wait, no. maybe not.
its not going to be enough residual alcohol to impress a reading.
and if you didnt drink at all, *buzzed driving is drunk driving* then your CLEAN breath + the last guys millidrop of alcohol will not register 0.08 so what do you care? and yes, i support the crap out of safe flying associated x-rays. if x-raying some guy to check him for explosives guarantees me a safe flight, i say ZAP AWAY!

^lol!!! truer words rarely spoken!
So you're saying it's like 1999-America there?

you're applying semantics and grasping at straws. this thread is not about pubic intoxication.

My first misspelled word in 2010 happened on the thirty-first of December. Not bad. I can live with that.
"I wish I had mod points" Well what do you know? There is SOME structure remaining at slashdot.

if you plan to drink, plan to get a ride. if you werent drinking, you have nothing to fear about a breath test.
