Or you could have unique patterns of dots and dashes running the length of the tube. Or you could repeatedly print the number "1" along the length of tube type 1, and the number "2" along the length of tube type 2. Or you could use letters of the alphabet. Or letters of the greek alphabet. Or you could make some tubes ridged and some tubes smooth.
There are literally dozens of ways to solve this problem. None of them are exactly brain surgery.
For most vehicles travelling at around 30km/h or more, unless the driver is standing on the gas pedal, most of the noise comes from the tires, not the engine.
I'm rooting for apple on this one. If apple is able to successfully patent remote bricking of products that people own and have paid for, then the consumer electronics universe becomes significantly simpler and easier to navigate.
Hold on a second, doesn't the type of service being offered play a factor as well? Unless this pastor offers a service where he comes into your home, searches for porn images on your computer, and then passes those images around to his buddies, I don't think there's a case for infringement here.
I'm also in Canada, and I have one piece of advice: putting extra weight in the back of a FWD car may work to reduce mild, controllable oversteer, but it dramatically increases the risk of sudden, uncontrollable oversteer.
I was on a flight recently, sitting in my window seat and getting settled while the plane was still loading, when a guy came trundling down the aisle who was around 6' tall and at least 300lbs+. Turns out he was my seatmate. It was only a short flight, so as he shoved his gear into the overhead I did my best to adopt a buddhist mindset and accept the fact there would be a little encroachment into my space for the next hour or so.
Turns out this guy wasn't happy with a little encroachment and he wanted to raise the armrest between our seats - said he can't fit comfortably between the armrests and needs to raise the middle one whenever he flies. I politely told him I'd be more comfortable with the armrest down and that I'm sure we'd be able to figure it out. He decided he needed to "stand his ground" and said there's no way he can sit - even for a short flight - with the armrest down. As more and more passengers lined up behind him (I was in seat 8A IIRC, on a plane with 24 or 25 rows), the flight attendant eventually got involved and asked what was going on. I stayed polite, but told her that I bought the same coach class seat as the other guy, and that I need to keep the armrest down for my own comfort and safety.
The FA told the guy he'd either have to sit in his assigned seat with the armrest between us down, or he could move to the last row of the plane and have 2 seats all to himself (she said the flight was "almost full but not quite"). You should have seen the glare this guy gave me as he took his bag back out of the overhead and trekked off down to the last row of the plane. Screw him - I paid for 1.0 seats. I'm willing to accept 0.9 but I'm not going to cheerfully smile and accept 0.6 for the next couple hours.
There was a time (in the days before front wheel drive, traction control, and modern suspension design) when people in northern climes used to drive around with a couple hundred pounds of sand or gravel in theirs trunks (read: over the drive wheels) for six months of the year.
When I went to school, I don't recall my parents ever once going to the school to lobby for a higher grade on my behalf. If I screwed up on an assignment through laziness and ended up with 60%, both my parents and I knew perfectly well I was capable of a 90% but it never entered our heads that I was entitled to that 90% if I didn't do the work.
I do not recall - over the course of 5 years - one single one of my friends or classmates having their parents come in to demand a better grade for a test or assignment. It's possible that it happened and I just never heard/knew about it, but it wasn't something that was part of my academic-problem-solving paradigm.
Today, my friend routinely has students complain about an "unfair" assessment, and frequently has parents come in to demand a better grade for what is quite frankly shitty work.
It's implying that alleged criminals are somehow less than human
FTFY, because until the charges are proved in court, simply being arrested could mean any number of things that fall well short of being guilty of an actual offence. Unfortunately, by posting mugshots to the internet (read "the public domain"), it ensures that these people will be forever linked to a crime they may or may not have even committed.
I have a friend who's a high school teacher. He's been predicting the downfall of society for a few years now, based on the fact the kids he teaches are - for the most part - useless twats. What makes it even worse is they also carry a strong sense of entitlement, as in "even though I can't be bothered to do the work properly or learn a single fucking thing while I'm here, I deserve an A grade from you, and when I graduate I am going to deserve an $80K starting salary somewhere just for showing up and playing FarmVille all day."

I'm okay with the idea of different connections, just as long as we don't let Sony anywhere near the scheme.
You can talk to ... the guy in the car in front
There's really only one thing I've ever wanted to say to the guy in the car in front, and that's "Speed up or get the hell out of this lane dipshit."
Anything else is just gravy.

Holy shit dude, you're OLD!
When did BMW start making the Prius?
For most vehicles travelling at around 30km/h or more, unless the driver is standing on the gas pedal, most of the noise comes from the tires, not the engine.
Yes. They are admitting to the fact they are fitting optional speakers to the Prius.
Because playing to the hard-right conservative crowd with a "tough on crime" agenda makes for good politics.
I'll create an audio interface using Visual Basic ... see if I can track an IP address.
I could develop Alchoholism but I can't sue Bacardi for keeping me in the hole.
You name the claim, and I'm sure there are thousands upon thousands of asshole lawyers who are willing to take a crack at it.

This is why I only follow unpopular celebrities.
No, but he wrapped it in tinfoil.

Lots of garages and tire shops will store your "other season" rubber for a very reasonable cost.
There are things you don't see because they are not happening, and then there are things you don't see because they take place out of sight.

So then wait for them to be convicted in court, and then ridicule away. Is due process really such an inconvenience for you?

This is why we can't have nice things.
Sad fact: whoever comes along to replace him will be worse.
It's called a downward trajectory.
