Since they can't get the consent of random passersby, the person riding in the vehicle is the only one who can knowingly evaluate and accept the risk. So put a clause in whatever the person signs to ride in the vehicle that they consent to the risk to their life, or they can't ride.
See "Losing U.S. popularity - According to a Rasmussen Report from 2013, only 37 % of Americans see the purpose of DST compared to 45 % the year before."
While springing forward and falling back may be losing popularity, if it were abolished I am guessing that the debate between whether to permanently revert to standard time or always stay on daylight saving time would evoke a lot of strong reaction.
So public disclosure of the terms is "likely to lead this to go immediately into the public debate on an ill-informed basis", and yet aren't secret terms and meetings guaranteed to result in ill-informed debate? If the agreement were truly in the public interest, then it sounds like Groser is saying is that the public is too stupid to be persuaded to support the agreement via educational campaigns. The reality is that these agreements are trying to achieve aims that are in the interests of corporations and other mega-donors, not further the interest of the people, and that's what they don't want known.
if I won the powerball tomorrow, I doubt I'd even go back in to collect the few personal things I keep at my desk.
Maybe you need to look into getting a different job.
I was thinking about this type of response, commonly given when someone says they don't love their job, when I was reading another article where 'college grads with degree in X can't find work'. There the common advice was "maybe you should have gotten a degree in something more practical."
once they have 18 months they'll say it's not long enough and they need 36 months. Rinse and repeat until logs are retained for the lifetime of the customer plus 70 years.
BP, to its credit, has accepted responsibility even though its almost certainly not to blame.
Just like the companies whose foreign factories run sweatshops and use child labor aren't to blame? If it's BP's well, they have a responsibility to ensure the other companies they hire operate in a responsible fashion, even it it entails having a full time BP employee stay on the rig to inspect and monitor what's going on.
Since when is gun registration violating innocent until proven guilty?
Is it the same way as driver and vehicle licensing violates it?
That is... not at all?
Driving is a privilege that can be revoked, registration to allow the authorities to verify that you're still worthy of the privilege makes sense. Gun ownership is a right. The only benefit of registration is so that police can identify suspects if a particular type of weapon is used in a crime. There's your presumption of guilt.
Ok. This new "law" would simply create a new black market for thieves. Increasing their profit streams.
Now instead of a walmart tracphone. you buy a "clean" prepaid phone from vito that is registered to a 14 year old cheerleader in the hamptons.
Honestly, are out lawmakers simply a bunch of retarded old idiots? Did they not think of this?
Whether it's a smart thing to do or not has nothing to do with it. They just want a 10 second soundbyte to look 'tough on crime' during the next election, or for opponents to say incumbents are 'soft on crime' if the incumbent is intelligent enough to vote against it.
I'm pretty certain that this technology will be used to REPLACE extras by the 000's within 10 years, and prima donna actors within 25 years.
And then the tabloid industry will file lawsuits to try and stop the loss of celebrities for their weekly rags, and the MPAA will be complaining about using lawsuits to support a dying business model.
I think it's more accurate to say 1 in 5 accounts have Farmville. I know people who have created several dummy accounts to help their 'friend' quoata. This also benefits Facebook by inflating their user count - how many of the 350 'users' are distinct people?
Slysoft update's the ripping program at least once every two weeks, so you know many bugs are being worked out with ripping DVDs and BD disks
I'd be careful with the updates. With the history of so many 'upgrades' reducing functionality, I wouldn't be surprised if one day the update is going to disable the ability to copy DVDs.
The simpler explanation is that the hardware manufacturers don't want to increase the complexity and cost of their product in such a way that would decrease their product's usability and their customer's satisfaction with the product. Crippled hardware and unhappy customers would likely lead to lower market share, which would equal lower profits. And the hardware manufacturers are in business to make money, not to protect the failures of other company's business models.

You can tell someone is a blind Democrat if the only rich people they can name are the Kochs.
They're the only ones I know of that have pledged to spend almost a billion dollars to influence the next election.

Since I own the car, I own everything in the car
Unfortunately, what you don't own is Congress.
Let's wait for this discussion until a computer has something interesting to say.

I'd prefer it not hang and use 99% of the CPU when I close it.

They'd never do that, because then they'd have to upgrade their networks... ;)

If that's true, why is there malware out there to steal it?
I think 'reversing' would be a better word than 'repairing'. Not every mutation is harmful (though I'm sure a vast majority aren't beneficial).
