I know more than a few. The way they see it, anything in their car will be less expensive to replace than the cost of the window plus lost productivity time to take the car to the shop. But, these people also take measures not to leave their iPod, laptop and cell in the vehicle when they leave and if they have to, it goes under a seat.
Yes, but the network is NOT required for communication. A simple cellular modem circuit striped of its casing and mounted internally could do the trick. If it's a spy setup though, there are many ways to do better. Non-standard transmitters would be easy to add to almost any board in the computer and be very hard to detect w/o specialized gear (low-power, narrow-band transmitters to receivers across the street).
Because other people should suffer reduced benefit/lifespan from products they've purchased because you don't agree with their decision. Riiight. Stop being an eco-dick; some people have good reason to own an SUV or large truck. For example, my truck stays parked except when I need to transport other vehicles or bulk items. I can usually make 1 trip in the truck @ 16mpg (regardless of weight), or I can make 4-5 trips in the car that normally has a 30mpg rating which drops to about 20 when heavily loaded. Blind hatred is just as pathetic as stupidity.
Dating a high level elven huntress is fine, as long as she belongs to your RL girlfriend. WoW is also great as long as you can limit your usage so your RL girlfriend and job get more usage than WoW.
Not necessarily. Cops use something similar with a modified 9mm round (plastic projectile) to train. Some simulators are meant to be realistic to provoke some of the same responses by injecting the same stimulus (vision, sound, tactile response from the gun, real muzzle flip, real flash, real bang, etc); price be damned they want the closest thing to being in the field.
Every school I've attended, with the exception of a particularly poor elementary school, has had phones in the classroom. The elementary school merely had intercom buttons to call the front desk.
Yes, let's protect people from their own stupidity. Next, we can make it illegal to sell desks without permanently attached foam on the corners to protect you in case you trip!
Anyone taking medicine should know they have to check for drug interactions and overdoses. The medical industry has been harping about it for years. If the product they offer is safe when following the directions, then it's not their problem if people do stupid things with it.
-So we agree here. -They're passing this with the rationale of putting the funding in a specific place, which we both agree won't happen. -I can afford it no problem, but it doesn't make a 400% tax increase right. Any tax increase is wrong right now as the government is already overstepping their bounds and can't keep track of the money we already give them. -Who the fuck are you to define what is "excessive?" I have both, thank you, and my primary transportation is a motorcycle which puts far less strain on the roadways than car (1/4 the weight of even a Smart).
You're an idiot with no concept of freedom or the limitless bounds of government corruption.
-The system will be abused. -The money won't go to what you hope it will. -That would quadruple the transportation tax for many people (I pay $0.005/mile or so with current gas taxes). -If I feel the need to drive "excessively" by your definition, what makes you think you have the right to impose a deterrent on me?
Mix one part electrode on the antenna with one part on the ground body. Add liberal amounts of high voltage at low current. Enjoy your GPS-free vehicle.
That's been tried many times. People always ignore it until it's too late. By actively and immediately halting business, you can bet the affiliates will raise hell in a timely fashion.
Generally, if it stores energy, there usually is a failure mode which involves the rapid release of the stored energy in an unpleasant manner.
Important part: "a failure mode." Triggering via blasting cap is TNT's "failure mode." If you put aluminum in a dust form and then aerosol it, it'll be much worse; that's aluminum's "failure mode." Heck, flour has a similar failure mode and as such has blown up several bakeries.
Wait, so dark roofs don't "heat a house very effectively" because of "heat rising and all that," and yet "in the summer... a hot roof leads to a hot attic, which retards flow of heat/hot air in the house" and therefore reduces cooling ability.
Yeah, but the problem is CFLs don't work as well in as wide a range as incandescents. Cold temps? CFLs lack output. Color spectrum? CFLs lack the range of incandescents. And don't get me started on the RF noise produced by CFLs. Any HAM will tell you that the interference from them ranges from annoying to outright overbearing when making contacts.
In addition to the technical reasons to choose one over the other, who the hell are you to impose your beliefs on what I should use to light my home? Guess what? I'm going to continue to use incandescents regardless of the law. I can conserve on my own. Yes, I have several CFLs in lamps I decided they are fit for use. However, I have incandescents where they are fit for use (like at my HAM station). Guess what? My single incandescent uses far less power than some bimbo that leaves every CFL in the house on.
By the way, on a personal note, your elitism makes me sick.
I'm sorry to inform you, but C++ has been cheating on you. She was with every one of my coworkers, male and female, last week. You don't mind sharing do you?
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Congress, that would be an undetermined size in excess of 20 TB. The text alone would total 17-20 TB and that doesn't include the photos, sculptures, or sound recordings.

It's the UK, they're nannies with the power to tell you "no" and if you disobey them, they'll tell you "no" again!

Plenty of private server software available.
Or from another country where such programs are not illegal.

In California, they do.
Every school I've attended, with the exception of a particularly poor elementary school, has had phones in the classroom. The elementary school merely had intercom buttons to call the front desk.
Or that the operator for type RobustnessValue is overridden and works similar to:
min(a,b)/2
Yeah, but the latest ones don't have LAN support...

You get a cookie. You made me laugh, but I have no mod points. Thank you.

Epic logic win.
(How many of you had Evil DM's that actually made you roll "save-vs-STD" for every encounter with a bawdy barmaid? ;-)
*raises hand* and he turned my character female at one point to make me "save-vs-cramps" during a period too.

And lawyers don't have off-hours? How much do you pay your lawyers that they're on-call 24/7?
I don't think causing problems for lawyers is very bright. And, it may be lawyers, but they still have the right to blog whatever the hell they want.
