Teenagers rarely by cars worth a damn, they are going to make these kids buy a piece of hardware worth more then their car?
And what about all the people in the state? Sure GPS units have gone down in price but they still aren't cheap. SO does that mean the State will give a voucher for the units to make it cheaper? No didn't think so.
This law will be defeated because it discriminates against the poor.
NVidia is the devil when it comes to video cards. If ATI or another company does not step up against NVidia soon we will have the hardware version of Microsoft on our hands.
Yeah Hard drive noise is bad but it's nothing like it used to be. I remember some of the older drives I had that made so much noise it scared away my cat. Of course I used to buy crappy hardware so the drives were bad to begin with.
Thanks to the 1990s and the popularity of on line services the Internet has grown by leaps and bounds it would have never seen if only government and academia were using the resource.
We have companies all over the place marketing how easy it is to use computers and connect to the "WEB"
We now have a lot of people on the network that have no idea what they are doing on their own computer(well they do know how to look at porn pictures and download their AOL spam) basically the majority of Internet users are morons.
Couple this with stores like BestBuy, Circuit City, and and CompUSA selling things like broadband services and wireless networking pieces to people Who have no idea what going on and we have a problem. These people don't update their Windows for security. Microsoft can release all the services packs in the world but it will have no effect. People still think that personal computers are like their home DVD players, once it's out of the box and working you don't have to do anything else to it.
Do some war driving of your own and see how many home networks are completely open. What happens when someone with any intelligence starts using these open points to threaten the political leaders? What about all the DdoS attacks that can be started from these insecure points?
Hackers are nothing like the mob. Hackers are dirty little kids with acne and B.O. They fear bullies in school and hack because they have no girlfriend. Mobsters on the other hand beat up people like hackers and have girlfriends. =] ah the joy of using simplistic stereo types.
So I guess under this logic it would be perfectly fine to install doors and windows in your house with no locks at all because your neighborhood doesn't have home break-ins or invasions?
I found this article the dumbest thing ever written to create web content. The people who came up with the article should be beaten with canes. Sure the games they complained about were bad, but damn their arguments for the thing sounded like they came from a 13 year old. By placing a controller into the list of worst games made any merit to the article null and void. I believe that I am now a dumber human being by reading this.

There is an active movement to have gun manufacturers held responsible for crimes committed using their product. The pockets of the gun manufacturers are not as deep as the tobacco industry, This is why anti-gun organizations are looking to go after these companies in civil court. This is going to hurt the manufacturers far more then the price raises in the guns.
First I would like to remind people that it is not the job of the police department to protect you and your family it is only there to enforce the laws of the United States government the US Supreme Court has said as much. Thus believing that your local police officers will come and save the day guns drawn to your defense is ridicules.
Second living in the inner city where police response time is lacking, having a gun that you might be able to unlock if given 10 minutes or praying that the gun recognizes you is to not that is needed.
Third "no technology is foolproof" this did not say that guns will crash like a Microsoft Windows operating system, this just means that it's unreliable. People advocating the use of gun locks and smart gun technology have been made to look foolish in public demonstrations as the locking system or ID system failed. So requiring this technology to be mandatory now before it is stable it just stupid.
Finally it always amazes me that people will not trust their fellow man, hell their own kid or spouse. If your afirad your wife is going to shoot you then why did you marry her if you don't trust her?? or do you think she's an idiot? And what about your kids? Well if there are guns in your house your kid might smoke pot and shoot his friend juggling it or something. oh yes it's not you or your family your afraid of it's everyone else. Stop being elitist you only think you're smarter then your neighbor.
The State Governments are the greedest parts of the government. It was only a matter of time before local government dips thier little hands in. Now just wait for the feds to get involved.
Just because your spending forty dollars a month on an internet connection doesn't entitle you to all the speed you wish. It's silly to say that just because tyou are paying twice what you did for dial up access you should be able to connect like the internet was a local network.
With this many infected Chinese computer systems infected it's no wonder all my warez are infected. I think them Chinese people should check for computer viruses before sending me my warez =]
it's a good thing all my illegal VHS tapes I have can't be played on my system =]

It's funny because alot of people forget Oregon even exists, but they prove they can create just as many dumb law ideas like California.

hmm. this just keeps reminding me of the movie Gatica.
that's nothing. I booted up my Windows machine at exactly 12:01am Christmas day and I was greeted to a soundfile of Bill Gates braking jingle bells.

Let's be honest here it's only a matter of time before these laws become go from state to federal.
There is an active movement to have gun manufacturers held responsible for crimes committed using their product. The pockets of the gun manufacturers are not as deep as the tobacco industry, This is why anti-gun organizations are looking to go after these companies in civil court. This is going to hurt the manufacturers far more then the price raises in the guns.

This sounds like an idea I'd be into but where's the link to related information? I can search goodle but I'm lazy.
Just because your spending forty dollars a month on an internet connection doesn't entitle you to all the speed you wish. It's silly to say that just because tyou are paying twice what you did for dial up access you should be able to connect like the internet was a local network.
