The article didn't bring up controlled substances. I happen to find violent crime more offensive than drug trafficking so I thought it would be a better example, but I'll try to include drug sentencing in my comparison from now on. The idea that things of equivalent price needn't be considered to have equivalent value is a fascinating opinion, but I can't say I agree. The whole point of currency is to provide a standard of value. If one feels that a fifty dollar game will not, over the time it is likely to be possessed, provide enjoyment roughly equivalent to the non-starvation provided by however much food this individual would pay fifty dollars for then it is likely that the individual in question will consider the game misspriced and either not buy the game because it is overvalued or be more compelled to buy it because it is underpriced. Just like if you honestly feel that the harm to society from the act in question is equivalent to posessing with intent to distribute five kilos of cocaine, fifty grams of crack, or however much of your drug of choice it takes to rack up 20 years as a max sentence; or assaulting someone with a deadly weapon, then you probably considered this a fair pentalty. If not, though, then at these, "prices" one of these crimes quite the bargain.
So now someone could be watching all those cell phone cameras everybody is so afraid of. If the phones could somehow figure out where they're pointing and stich the images together.. *shudder*
Some dr at the turn of the last century said that he could destroy all pathogens with a, "beam device" tuned to their, "mortal oscillatory rates" or some such. Very simillar claim. He also said he could see virii under his microscope.
Hear Hear!
Apparently the main difference between the UK and US laws is that, in the UK, they trust the vendor to try and repair whatever merhcandisehe may have sold.
I find your arguements interesting, but flawed. Not all bugs are created by some, "bad coders" sneaking into a project and plying their trade of writing bad code. If that was so every project could be perfected by handing it to a few known good coders to edit. Bugs are created from many different factors and one of them is the fact that people, no matter how skilled, make mistakes. Enough mistakes made by enough people in confluence create a bug. It is logical to assume that, since bugs do occur, there is a finite probability, greater than zero, that a bug will occur on any particular line of code. If one had an exceptionally good statistical analysis of all coding one could make statements such as, "A project with X lines of code is 95% likely to have at least Y bugs". I like the net analogy though. I think that one works well.
The wünderengine[sic] is basically a highly-tuned I-4 out of a Ford Fusion. You could have the same guys tune your Taurus like that, but it'll cost ya.
This is an airplane and thus isn't bound by US automotive emissions laws. You'd be amazed at how much better your mileage gets when you don't have to worry about things like ozone and nitrous oxide emissions.
Hydrogen has an octane rating over 130, which means you can run at a much higher compression than gasoline and theoretically increase your carnot efficiency by a significant margin.
So, basically, this is a turkey-shoot compared to making a fuel efficient station wagon.
There's probably a limit to the amount of chips you can fit on a controller or in standard flash drive form factors. You'd have to either have custom hardware or stack a thousand 128GB boards together on some kind of bus. So, sure, you could have a 128PB storage device, but you'd need a steamer trunk to keep it in, a full-sized AC unit to keep it cool, and a killowatt power supply to keep it running at any decent speed.

The polling place I used to use had brownies and lemonade, but I guess that's the luck of the draw.
Yeah, but that's where, complicity, collusion, and conspiracy come into play. "Assault by proxy" sounds like a nice way of saying, "...he was just following orders."
They will give up because he's notorious. Alex Roy has got everybody whining about how it impinges on their, "...right not to be smeared accross an interstate highway at 120mph" or, praising his accomplishment instead of worrying about little things like who the RIAA is sueing or what new interpretation of the constitution is bludgeonning the last bit of freedom out of them today. He's part of this century's version of the latter half of bread and circusses and, "The Authorities" would be damned before they'd deprive us of that.
If breaking the speed limit is so dangerous, how come, in the states, they only give out speeding tickets towards the end of the month, presumably when they need money?

Three not including what you produce in flight *duh*. It has to do with the critical mass of cold breat-milk.

I just find it strange that they wouldn't spend a minute longer in jail if they'd held a gun to someone's head.
I just thought they assumed the, "financial institution" in question was running windows.
They appear to be leaving the nanotube, which, being a radio, has a tendency to absorb radio waves and make sound.

Don't most conventional bombs have that sort of indescriminance?

If the dollar falls much more Asia will start outsourcing to the US for engineering, tech support, etc. and the job market will pick right up.

Around here when they confiscate your car they sell it at auction and pocket the profit.
In one respect traffic cops are like roaches: for every one you see there're fifty or so you don't.
It was a Benz ('75 or '76 450SEL 6.9). He dubbed it with his Ferrari 275GTB after the fact. C'etait un rendex-vous
