Instead of messing with color combinations and a decoder chart, I just use a label maker. Print the label twice without tearing it, then fold it over the cord. Voila! Named with whatever you like, legible on either side.
Although rabbits are lagomorphs, they are also huge party animals, and when their humans are out of the house they think nothing of having a few mice, rats, lemmings, jerboa, chinchillas, squirrels and porcupines over to "just chill" which invariably turns into a giant house party with a muskrat DJ.
If you have a kid playing with scissors near live power cables, you have a bigger problem than cable management. Like Junior Flambé. Go take a parenting course or something.
I did not miss that. That is NOT the exact opposite. He said a consensus of EXPERTS in LAW would be necessary to make one lawyer's opinion more important than anothers. Then he provides a consensus of 15 self-expressed math experts? So math expert = lawyer?
Fail.
To make the argument even MORE embarrassing, given his own data, one could easily assert:
"Depending on how you look at it, you may think that this opinion from Assistant District Attorney Dave Denny , vindicates the opinion of the English aficionados who voted that the defendant did violate the law. I think it's the other way around -- the fact that this answer was correlated in the survey responses with English ability, vindicates the opinion of Mr. Denny."
However, the best part was where he rejects the D.A.'s assertions because one expert should not be trusted if a consensus of experts does not agree. He then relies on the sole argument of "credentialed expert Mr. Rasch" to "vindicate" the opinion of the self-expressed math experts.
All that being said, I'd say the guy's not guilty according to what the law quoted.
Of course, looking back at the name of this article, Rental Car + GPS = Speeding Ticket, I can understand where people get this misconception. Is it appropriate to tell michael to RTFA?
I suppose they also have to prove 'beyond a reasonable doubt' that you put the miles on the car they say you did, or that you didn't return the car with a full tank? It has nothing to do with a crime. You rent their car, you sign an agreement. They feel that speeding puts undue stress on the vehicle and should be compensated.
Of course this a crappy policy, and as people have said, don't go with that company
It's always amusing to see how people try to apply governmental and judicial principles to business and personal interaction when they just don't apply. "I'm innocent until proven guilty" "It's a free country" "this is a Democracy, lets vote on it."

HAHA! Luddites on Slashdot. Now I've seen it all.
Has anybody given any thought to the safety of these experiments, and the hazardous effects that they might have on our environment?
Naw, scientists are notoriously haphazard. It must be that new 'Extreme nuclear physics'.
But there's a big difference between tinkering with transistors and unleashing natural forces that Man was never intended to experiment with.
What about electricity? Surely our attempts to utilize God's natural lightning will cause the Earth to magnetize and we'll all fly off it!
Nobody ever unravelled the basic fabric of spacetime by studying Scripture.
No, but the Crusades sure were fun, huh? Oh and the Spanish Inquisition.
When Covad suddenly shut off DSL services, I cannot tell you how much this affected corporate america (our company included). Maybe this will be the next NBC movie or next hacker movie?
Yeah, nothing makes for riveting television like corporate america hitting the 'Refresh' button again and again and bitching about not being able to get their stock quotes.
So? Buy mail order from the opposite hemisphere (New Zealand?) where it's summer and snow shovels are on sale. (Work fine unless micro$hovel has a world monopoly or the SIA has zone disabling...)
Yeah Brainiac, and as soon as all the snow melts, the deliveryman will be able to get you your nice shiny new useless snow shovels. Oh you're being funny. Zone disabled shovels HA! Of course, if they could find a way to do it, they would. And shovel subscriptions. "Your shovel license has expired. Would you like to debit your account and continue to shovel?"
Wrong. It starts snowing, so 5 different stores all raise the price of snow shovels. Or there's a hurricaine coming so plywood prices mysteriously shoot up...
Even if not all the stores raise the price, they know you're desperate and aren't going to be comparison shopping. I believe economists refer to this as 'got you by the short and curlies.'
You know, with only a little effort, you could probably rig a mailbox that sorts out mail by size and weight. Anything that feels like an ad gets dumped into a shredder, and the shredded paper pours out into the recycling bin sitting in the driveway next to the mailbox...
Or you could describe a riculously impossible to implement Rube Goldberg device for karma whore points!
They say employees waste an hour a day managing e-mail.
An hour a day? Sure, if 'managing email' includes writing recipes to aunt Sally, forwarding the latest virus hoax to EVERYONE YOU KNOW, and deleting all the pr0n spam you get because you surf pr0n at the office.

Exactly what I was thinking.

They were obediently following Adam and Eve around, and it was only 6000 years ago. Blasphemers!
Must the Native American tribes forever be referred to as Indians because Columbus was a boob?

It's good to see some crossover nerd/professional sportsmen. Anyone know of any other hornrimmed athletes out there?
Oh I wouldn't say that. I'm sure it's heard quite often when dealing with hot young secretaries or interns:
"You're honor again?? Quick, get off'er, members of the press are coming!!!"
Wrong. It starts snowing, so 5 different stores all raise the price of snow shovels. Or there's a hurricaine coming so plywood prices mysteriously shoot up...
