Interesting. So if a state has a law where they can demand identification, you apparently do have to verbally tell your name but nothing else.
I have to say I don't like it a bit.
You may be right about paranoia. This whole business going on in Arizona with checking immigration status has me wound up. They call it the "papers, please" law.
If someone would like to untroll me, I'd appreciate it.
The American "real ID" is not the same as European-style national ID cards. Americans are NOT required to carry ID at all times. Driver's Licenses are ONLY required to be carried while you are driving.
In the US, I am free to walk down the street with no ID on me. I cannot be stopped at random and ordered to present my papers. Even if I am stopped on the street for some probable cause, I am STILL not required to have or show ID.
I dunno. The adoption of "Googling" as a verb meaning to perform an internet search is the same as what I experienced as a kid: everyone in the neighborhood referred to their refrigerators as "Frigidaires" regardless of the brand name of the actual refrigerator they owned.

It was right around the same time I heard the sound of hysterical female screaming all around me.
Ah pity da foo.
I won't be on an A Team unless they let me be Mister T.
...gigabytes of packets to you. lulz
I remember being able to buy pieces of this stuff from Edmund Scientific when I was a kid back in the 70's.
Or maybe they just did it for the lulz.
I thought old stars of our Sun's size and larger became black holes when they shuffled off their mortal coils.
Yup, that's my understanding too.
That's partly how the feds busted that Russian spy ring. They were using all kinds of crypto, but the dummies wrote down the passwords.
I suppose in a pinch you could settle for a weaker key by just using the Preamble to the Constitution.
All the more reason to start using TrueCrypt now if you haven't already.
Until the cops in the US get the authority to legally compel you to divulge passwords, your computer will be safe from prying eyes.
I think I'd still rather see murders, rapists and child molesters locked up anyway.
In case you didn't notice.
Edlin should be a mandatory part of the course for the full immersive effect.
Or was that the 70's? Gosh I can't remember now cuz I'm so old.

I'm no lawyer, but everything I've read indicates the contrary.
It could produce drama.

Thank goodness we don't have a national ID card here. It's one of the first steps to setting up a police state.
Consequences will nevar be the same.
Google "Anthony Graber" to see the result of recording audio without the consent of all parties...
Good heavens. Name calling in a public forum.

But teachers with troublesome kids are overly anxious to "diagnose" them to get them on drugs to shut them up.
ADHD isn't even a real illness; it's simply a conglomeration of behavioral patterns.
Oops. Did I just infringe on the patent on someone's internet name?
