Doh. Submitted too soon or something... [...] And even if they ARE right, and the officer has the accused perform all three tests, and he interprets the results "properly," 7% of the time he will still be wrong. 7% is a _WHOLE LOT_ OF PEOPLE. Especially when you are talking about the potential harm that can arise from such a mistake: many people could lose their jobs because of such a mistake on the part of the officer. Some businesses will fire someone who has a DUI on their record, or if the job requires driving and their license is wrongfully suspended... Falsely accusing 7% of them of being drunk is simply unacceptable to me.

For those who are too lazy to use a calculator, that is $290.34 and $406.66, respectively (according to google).
> You don't even need a bachelor's to be an ultrasonographer
Yup. Operating most diagnostic imaging equipment is extremely simple... as long as you're not the one trying to determine what something means. Heck, most new CT and MRI setups have a preprogrammed voice telling the patient what to do for each study, so all the tech has to do is position them initially, watch to make sure they are OK, and push some buttons.
Absoutely. But until we discover the truth of a thing, we don't know it. We do not determine the truth of it. Just because something can be classified in different ways, the truth of its properties do not change. Just our understanding, or perspective of it.
> Wouldn't it be in fact an instance of intelligent design?
While I understand what you are getting at -- and it is an interesting point -- no, it would not. That is selective breeding. Intelligent Design insinuates designing a species, not guiding the development of a subset of one that exists.
Your parents had no hand in designing the structure and arrangement of your DNA.
The "multiple servers" can't be ghosted because they have individual, specialized roles, and thus cloning them would only be useful as a backup. That's why I was confused on the Ghost thing.
Your judgemental ignorance and sweeping generalizations about a large and varied country have convinced me that you are a fucking genius. Thank you, sir, for the opportunity to flex my strained sarcasm muscles.
I do, however, appreciate your last sentence. The American government does tend to "Declare War" on every damned thing under the sun... but they only act if it involves killing or making truckloads of money. But do please note that that applies to the government. You keep saying Americans this and Americans that, as if a significant majority of individuals in the USA believe "God made Earth two days before I was born and he wants us to kill fags." That is simply incorrect.
While that is very interesting, the "contest" is far too limited in the second hypothesis, so the hosts can disqualify any entry arbitrarily: "The benefits [must not] equal or exceed the costs of any increases in global temperature caused by manmade greenhouse gas emissions between the present time and the year 2100, when all global social, economic and environmental effects are considered."
How the heck can someone account for 100 years of future socioeconomic change in a scientific proof? Hell, they can automatically disqualify anyone that doesn't account for the asteroid they can claim will wipe out all humans in 2050.
> Sorry, but Exchange is simply install and forget
Wow, "simply install"? That's gotta be a freaking joke. Any email software that requires a bare minimum of THREE servers is so insanely not-simple. My single GroupWise server is a bit old, but it still runs GroupWise for quite a few clients (granted, not 14,000) and I don't get any calls for it except two people who managed to remove their "sent items" folder (and, as you said, spam-block checking).

Congratulations! You got the joke!

Sorry, really not trying to be an asshole -- it just comes naturally, I guess.
> If you choose to consent to our test, then you have a legal right to your own test at your own expense.
But, of course, you will be in jail until you sober up, making that impossible to get. Therefore, it's bullshit.
Doh. Submitted too soon or something...

Please, won't someone think of the innocent???
FTL: "Critics have equally questioned the empirical data and reported reliability of these studies."
For one, NHTSA have a vested interest in the study returning high "success rates."
Those two items by themselves do not mean that the study is definitely flawed, but it certainly makes one wonder.

You (maybe not you exactly) don't own land in the USA either. Granted, there's not a 70 year lease...

Smells like $#!%, but I have to love it... It's too damn expensive NOT to!
> Oddly enough, they required me to explicitly consent to being taken to a hospital
I believe that is because they are the Fire Dept and not EMTs. EMTs don't necessarily require your consent (although they can't force you, AFAIK).

> A significant number of xrays and blood tests are run "just to make sure", not because a problem is expected.
An even more significant number are run because the doctor believes your insurance will cover it even if it's unrelated to your current problem.
Oh darn, you shouldn't have told him that, because he was, like, so TOTALLY going to try it fer REALZ. I'm shur.

Sorry, I should have titled that comment "Obligatory Futurama Quote." I hold no such degree myself :)

That is complete nonsense. It is their job to discover what truth is, not to determine it.

In addition to djp928's comment above, I think the assertion is that they (environmentalists) are being used on this particular issue.
Does ghost not require having an existing install from which to make an image?

I'm not sure they displayed the copyrighted pronography... only the filenames that may, or may not, contain copyrighted pornographic images.
