A "Hunting Rifle" That thing better have more than a 10 round magazine and have a bigger bore than.22 if you want to tangle with 'mericans. Heck a 10 round magazine is small even for a pistol to us. California would be easy work though. In Texas you can buy 100 round drums for AR-15 "assault rifles" at gun shows no problem.
Ditto on that, eating meat does not make you unhealthy or obese. My old man eats Bacon or Ham with toast every morning for breakfast, he won't eat cereal because he hates milk. I eat cereal every morning for breakfast and eat less red meat and I'm quite overweight.
I don't think this law is about letting employers check in on the help while at work, which is perfectly reasonable when employees are using a company resource. But the way this article is worded it seems to state that the law lets employers snoop on their help PERIOD be it at work or not.
My employer has 0 reason and 0 need to know what I do off the clock. If I don't want my employer reading my e-mail and eavesdropping on my IM conversations, then I'll only do it at home, or use the IM client on my cell phone. However, it's unreasonable to afford my employer the priveledge of snooping on me at home or on my own private internet connections.
So it really isn't giving Monsanto a monopoly on the chemical business with their round-up ready seed. There are many generic Glyphosate herbicides on the market now.
Though I have to agree though, Monsanto does rather alarm me, as well as farmers that I do business with, and my dad.
Lo Jack only works if you're in a city that's covered by their service. AFAIK it does not use GPS location at all but rather a Proprietary RF network setup by LoJack that activates a homing beacon in your car. When you report the car stolen the Lo Jack device in the car activates and any LEO with the tracking unit in his patrol vehicle will get an alert and a bearing when the stolen car is nearby. However, a smart car thief could just load the stolen vehicle in an RF shielded trailer and then move outside the coverage area (which is more limited than iDen cell phones).
One advantage Lo Jack has over GPS trackers is that it works even inside most structures. Unfortunately as I mentioned earlier it'll only work inside LoJack's coverage zone. Once the car leaves that zone there's no way to track it. It's also dependent upon all LEOs in the area having the tracking unit in their cruisers.
GPS doesn't have a coverage area, but does require a relatively unemcumbered view of the sky in order to give you a location. Bring the car indoors and the GPS is no longer able to get a fix on its posistion. So you might get a good idea of which building your car is in, but no guarantee.
Neither by itself is a perfect solution, but if LoJack would expand their coverage (maybe licence some of that TV spectrum *nudge nudge*) and incorporate a GPS tracker it would make a much better retrieval system and give you the best of both.
On the one hand a music download tax sucks. On the other hand, if the PRK did tax digital downloads that would make them tangible property of the buyer under the law. That would most definitely undermine the efforts of the **AA To make you pay damn near every time you watch a movie or listen to a song, or want to make a song a ringtone on your phone. I'm surprised the **AA hasn't lobbied against this bill.
You act as though this is some new thing. This was nothing new 10 years ago. Pre-boxed systems always had poor choices for hardware if you were a gamer, but were acceptable if you were a typical consumer. PC gaming is not dying, it continues to be the realm of the super hardcore gamer as it always has been. Nothing has changed the fact that PC Gaming has a much higher cost of entry than consoles.
Not only that, but the gamers that are on a budget don't buy pre-built systems anyway. 90% of us do DIY builds. And the other 10% have deep pockets and will purchase an Alienware, Voodoo, Falcon Northwest, or an XPS 720.
Oh, and for the record, Dell offers the 8600GT as an option on the Inspiron 530. And there's nothing really stopping you from buying your own video card afterwards and installing it yourself, there's no "Warranty void" sticker on the side panel, and the PSU is a standard ATX part.
