I wonder if they included a provision that excludes French National Assembly members from the three strikes.
Given enough time any connection can be compromised and if France's script kiddies are like all the others I wouldn't put it past them to pwn a couple of assembly member's connections. Since you are responsible for what happens on your connection...
Perhaps its so that each student will have their own strap.
Middle school gym probably doesn't do the whole locker room thing so it'd be a lot easier if each student was responsible for their own strap and washing it.
And homeschool. Unless you know about the government mind control devices implanted in all books. No-schooling is the safest. What the kids don't know can't hurt them. Plus with all their free time they can start digging and pouring cement to prepare for the invasion of the mole-men.
Why tax gas? Tax the the cars. Then all the smug Prius owners can pay their fair share for road maintenance along with all the dirty Earth killers burning dead dinosaurs.
Hear, hear! Everyone should know by now that requiring every key on the keyboard to have unique bindings for every permutation of shift, ctrl, and alt is the pinnacle of UI design. Only a simpleton could get any enjoyment out of a game where the developer put even the smallest amount of thought into how a player would want to interact with their game.
We, the elite, proudly suffer the indignities of clumsy and awkward UI just so we can say we're better than everyone else! Can I get a Harumph? Harumph! Harumph! Harumph!
Average life span is such a wonderfully misleading figure. The average life span of those who entered adulthood was much higher than a measly 40 years. Throwing a lot of zeroes in for high infant mortality brings down the total average rather quickly.
And for Juliet, she was already close to being an old maid at 14, most other girls her age were already married. Extended adolescence is a modern ideal.
You don't want to rely on pain for compliance. It just doesn't work on all people. The electric shock of a taser screws with the target's muscles, it's not just pain.
Grab on to a non-pulse electric fence sometime near the fencing unit. Try to let go.
You know that they've been selling music by the album for quite some time, right?
Some albums have a pdf "booklet". LP is probably just a way of getting all the extras packaged together so that the devices (and not just a computer) can handle them.
Weren't these guys that were trying to blow up the planes with explosives that professional chemists with a chemlab available consider a tricky thing to make?
Aside from the FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! value, perhaps the associated agencies shouldn't have tipped their hand over very incompetent "terrorists" and held out for a group that was an actual threat.
There's probably a total of two people who own an iphone/touch and bought the app and actually planned on doing something with the C64 BASIC.
Most of the people complaining probably wouldn't even think of owning anything Apple and BASIC is just something for them to make a show of why they'll never own an iPhone (and to look "cool" to all their F/OSS friends while doing so).
OMG! They pulled an app I'd never buy from a phone I'll never own over a feature I'd never use!!! I must complain loudly and vigorously to show how hardcore linux I am!
Some would argue that people in general are jerks and will exploit an imbalance of power when it presents itself.
If [culture x] has been fighting [culture y] for centuries or millennia do you really think the lack of involvement from a foreign power would stop that?
What matters is that you are seeing the ads. If you're watching it as it is broadcast you can't skip past the commercials. You can leave the room (which is why they crank the volume up for ads) or you can turn the channel (good luck since most other channels will be on a commercial break). So you sit there and watch the ads (that pay for the show) or you somehow respond to the ads (turning the channel, leaving the room).
Let's say there's a new show on Fox with Nathan Fillion. It is wildly popular with the DVR crowd but very few people actually watch the broadcast. The advertisers are going to get grumpy that the prime rates they are paying to have their ads shown during the wildly popular show aren't buying many eyeballs. Advertisers decide to stop paying for the wildly popular show. The show gets axed. Cue DVR rage. Basically, if you're watching it live, you are paying for the show, to some extent everyone else is leeching.
If your viewing habits include skipping all (or timeshifting beyond a couple days) the commercials that pay for the show I don't see why they should give DVR viewers much weight.
It's the eyeballs on commercials that count, not how many people like the show (but not enough to watch it realtime or to watch the commercials). If you like the show but don't want to watch it when it is broadcast watch it off the company's site. Then at least you'll get counted in a way that matters.
See, the problem with "you vs. the world" self/family defense is one of simple numbers.
1. There are more of "them" then there are of "you". No matter how well you are personally armed once enough of "them" decide to take you down, you're going down.
2. 24/7/365. You need perfect vigilance. All the time.
Part of the benefit of civilization is a common defense. Now this doesn't absolve everyone of all personal responsibility for seeing to their own welfare but it *should* mean that individually you don't always have to be in flight or fight mode.
I've got a ccw and a rather decent and practical arsenal. I support personal gun rights. I don't have the illusion that I, alone, can protect my safety all of the time. I am wary of people that believe they themselves are the only ones who can protect themselves. They tend to get a bit too paranoid to be safe around other people.
Yes, the police may be corrupt (along with the politicians and everyone else in power) but the answer isn't the Balkanization of society into small fortified areas under the control of warlords.
If VoIP takes out the existing phone system, VoIP will finally be responsible for paying for infrastructure. Which will make VoIP a lot less "cheap"/free than it is now.
Vonage can get away with their rates (for now) because their calls can act like data when that is cheaper and then act as voice only when it needs to. They don't pay their fair share (by way of fees) for the infrastructure they use (so everyone who has a regular phone has to pay more to cover the VoIPers). The crazy part is Vonage still gets money from the pools these fees go into. VoIP basically gets to eat its cake and have it too.
(Which proves that I will never have access to a time machine capable of going back in time far enough to off the twit that first said that or that event will only occur in an alternate timeline leaving this one to suffer, for eternity, the pain and suffering caused by that statement.)
If the customer wants something that will put you out of business you shouldn't have to give that to them. Someone else can provide it, but you shouldn't have to commit financial suicide. There's nothing stopping google from making their own phone that runs google voice natively.

He defined a kid as being 12 and under. Kid = 12. He wouldn't sell to kids. Thus he wouldn't sell to 12 year olds.
Shortly after 12 though their biology will start telling them they should be interested in porno.
And remember, the (English speaking) world's most famous love story / tragedy involves a 14 year old.

Using caffeine to demonstrate the hypocrisy of the system isn't going to help you get your recreational drug of choice to be government approved.
I guess they couldn't fit the starbucks in with all those shelves taking up space.
I can neither confirm nor deny that you are the only one in the US that doesn't want everyone to know their every move of everyday life.
Snow Leopard also removes a lot things from under the hood - dare I say 7 gb worth?
Your slashdot account is tied to your access point? You might want to look into one of those "password" things.

I think we need a new Godwin's law that all discussions will tend towards "think of the children!!!11!!one!!eleven!!!!".
Of all the arguments against the TSA you just had to go with "think of the children"? Really?
Perhaps if we stopping relying on "think of the children" to do our thinking for us we wouldn't have agencies like the TSA around.

Think of it as a latency problem.
Goldshire isn't a contested zone.
Redridge would be a DFA zone.
