That's one rather warped view of America's politics.
Let me try to clear up your confusion. Pro-life means exactly that - life is sacred, and you shouldn't be killing ANYONE. Pro LIFE. See?
On the other side of the aisle, we have the baby killers who see nothing wrong with late term on-demand abortion. Some of the MOST EXTREME come to the defense of post-partem-baby killers, with defenses like post-partem stress.
Wait - you mean that I shouldn't sue the Olympics commission? I can't run as fast or as long as some of those Olympics runners. You don't think they should set their standards lower, so that I can compete?
(I should note that I really was a damned good runner - 35 years ago, lol. Give me another decade, maybe I can compete in the geriatrics division!)
What pyr02k1 said. GPS doesn't tell us when the light changed. If GPS pinged multiple times per second, THEN you might make a case of GPS evidence in court. I don't know exactly what it would take to beat radar, 5 or 10 pings/second should be sufficient. But, that seems to be one heck of a burden on the system, just to beat a bogus speeding ticket.
Actually, the kernel is modified constantly. SOMEONE is agreeing with SOME PEOPLE who detect problems.
"He's running a setuid program that allows the user to specify its own modules"
You don't see that as an administrative problem, rather than a problem with the kernel? Apparently, the kernel was doing exactly what everyone expected it to do, until someone decided to diddle with setuid. If I am permitted to setuid on your system, I believe that I own your system - correct?
You looked up the city, and you found John's name. Very good. But, we only have your word that you CALLED him. So, I watched the old dude using his dousing rods, and you claim to have talked to the old dude's boss. My word against yours, right?
Oh well. Whatever. You don't have to believe a thing, nor does anyone else.
Yes - but - bureaucrats are as prone to those "unintended consequences" as anyone. And once a pack of bureaucrats adopt a measure, or a method, they are harder to change than the politicians.
There really ought to be a sensible and legal way to take frauds out. But, I don't expect anything sensible from the government, whether the politicos or the bureaucrats are involved.
It's not a matter of "I want to run your life", it's a matter of sustainability. I'm not one of the global warming fruitcakes, but they have some valid points. We waste irreplaceable resources, we pollute like madmen, we piss money away that could be used for much more intelligent purposes. The system is broken. And, we pay a steep price for our way of life.
I could go on with a pages long essay on that price, but I don't really have time.
My father in law was good with those witching sticks. He dug many a well, and always struck water. Even today, the city of DeQueen, Arkansas employs an old Native American in the water department. He has the willow sticks like father in law used, but he also has a pair of copper rods that he likes better. He'll follow a pipe forever, and he'll tell you if, and where, it leaks. He is every bit as accurate as the guys with the ~ $18,000 metal detectors which can't tell you that there is a leak in the line.
The funny thing is, he can follow gas mains, buried electrical lines, anything that has metal in it, OR he can locate water alone. I always thought it just worked with water - goes to show how much I know, huh? Maybe it's anything conductive.
Don't ask me how it works - those witching sticks are just dead wooden sticks in my hands. But, I've seen it work, so I have to believe in it.
How that all relates to these explosives witching sticks, I have NO IDEA. Maybe they work in the hands of tribals, maybe not. Don't ask me to test them.
East coast is out of the question, except for maybe Maine and Vermont. The only place I'd want to live on the west coast might be in the Cascade mountains. Texas is a bit warm for me, but I can tolerate it. Moving north from Texas, the further north I get, the happier I am. I prefer mountains, but low hills work alright. The more trees there are, the more beautiful the land is. I wouldn't last to long in Colorado, thanks to the huge influx of liberal city boys and girls. Montana and Wyoming are about as good as it gets, unless you cross the 49th parallel, into God's Country. Man was not meant to live in densities over 20 people per square mile. Optimum density is about 2 people per 10 square miles. A guy can drive into town and socialize a couple times a month, buy supplies, then beat it back to the home spread. Now, THAT is LIFE!!! If a guy can put up a few hundred pounds of venison, elk, beef, and pork, some vegetables in the root cellar, and a couple truck loads of beer, he's pretty much got it made for the winter. Ten to twenty cord of wood, depending on how cold the winter gets. And, a fast internet link - COME ON AT&T!! I'm STILL WAITING FOR THOSE LAST MILES!!!!
I dunno. But, at least this appears to be a step in the right direction. Open government - wow.
There's supposed to be some independent monitoring scheme, which is good. I suppose that in and of itself, this isn't enough to keep things honest. But the concept of allowing a citizen to look into the workings of the ballot system any further than the booth is good. Given some time, some interest, and some ingenuity, we could be looking much further inside the system.
Open source. Open government. Transparency. Gotta love it. Maryland never was high on my list of favorite states, but they've just moved up a couple notches. They've left Florida sucking dust, anyway.;^)
"most of those cars have people reading, drinking coffee, eating breakfast, playing the trumpet, under the influence, putting on makeup, shaving, texting, on the phone, otherwise distracted, or all of the above."
Awesome visual. Picture a bike rider doing any or all of these things. Simply awesome. Can we talk you into trying some of them, then posting back with details? Video would be most welcome!!;^)
Preposterous. The feudal age ended long before motorized transport. And, the US of A was settled by the white man long before motorized transport. The locomotive and the steam engine helped to speed things up some, toward the end, but people weren't restricted to their home counties, or their home states.
What I am suggesting is, there is no good reason to fire up a vehicle that weighs a ton and a half, and burn 2 to 10 gallons of gasoline every day, just to go to work. The guy above you suggests that he's interested in a motorcycle, and that he could commute for $40/week even if gasoline reaches $10/gallon.
And, you seem to have missed the obesity factor. If people live two miles from work, and either walk, or ride a bike, they will lose excess weight. Burning less gas will directly contribute to a healthier population, not to mention that it will decrease pollution, and indirectly contributing to a healthier population.
It is simply time to stop being wasteful. We can't continue demanding to have the best of everything, on demand, indefinitely. Let's set priorities. Health should come before convenience, IMHO.
Look to Europe. It seems that many, many Euros have never owned a car. They travel, all the same. In fact, I suspect that they travel as much as, or more than, we travel in the US. My Euro buddies post from all over Europe - I can't keep up with some of them. Amsterdam today, London tomorrow, Morroco the next day, then to throw me for a loop, it's Monaco next. Check out YOUR European friends, and see how far wrong I am.
"Most people don't want to have a bus schedule dictate their schedule, etc. They don't want to have to brave the elements walking to a 'stop' to wait for a bus or whatever...and then once off the transport, have to walk through the elements to get to their job."
Where's my tiny violin? I need to play a sad sound or two for the pity party.
People can do a couple of things. One, live closer to work. Two, work closer to home. Oh, boo hoo, you don't like the neighborhood your job is in? Tough shit. Do something to CLEAN THE NEIGHBORHOOD UP! Running off to live in a suburb is bullshit. Buy a bicycle, and ride two miles to work - leave that gas hog at home. At least 10 million obese sumbitches will lose 20 pounds the first year. I say, "Tax that gasoline to death!" I've been waiting to see $10/gallon for a long long time. It's coming. Go ahead, sell that gas guzzler to the scrap yard, and get a bicycle. If you have a GOOD job, you can afford a small motorcycle for holidays.
Ride the bus, and appreciate it. How many generations came and went without ANY motorized transportation?
Beautiful idea. And, I'm not being sarcastic. People are insulated from the road. Years ago, travel was tiring, because you experience the travel. The tires sang, the shocks and springs conveyed the texture of the road surface into your feet and arse, the wind whistled past to remind you how fast you were going. The sound of the engine came through the firewall, quite clearly. All of that helped to remind you that you were TRAVELING at a pretty high rate of speed.
Today? Smooth ride, almost silent, no sensation of traveling if you just close your eyes. People are lulled into believing they are safe with all the airbag mumbo jumbo, wrinkle panels, seat belts, and the various gadgets that CLAIM to make driving safer. Marketing wants you to believe that you cannot get killed in their cars, and people believe what marketing tells them.
Mount that bayonet. Make an obvious statement that people cannot ignore. They WILL become safer drivers.
Allow me to explain. "Idiot lights" are named so, because only idiots depend on them. They don't work reliably. If you want to be sure that there is air in your tires, and oil in your engine, you PHYSICALLY INSPECT them. Ditto for the fuel tank - no truck driver worthy of the name trusts his fuel guage, he LOOKS.
An OIL GUAGE is reliable. An AIR GUAGE is reliable. A FUEL GUAGE is generally reliable - most are off, but once you get used to it, it's fairly reliable.
Trusting a light bulb hooked up to a computer is simply nuts.

===================
Oh-kay, I can't look at the bug right now. But, is your complaint with Ubuntu, or with Linux? And, whatever your bug is, are you telling me that no one in Linux land is working on it? Is it so obscured that you can't do anything about it? You'll have to explain....
I'm certain the judge has the gene for rectal-cranial insertion. There is a simple test for that defect, of course. Just read what a person writes. Is soon becomes obvious whether he has his head up his ass or not. In itself, the rectal-cranial insertion isn't a real problem, unless the victim has an exceedingly large skull, or an especially small orifice. The real problem, of course, is the resulting oxygen deprivation to the brain.
Ahhh, man. Someone mod him up "+1 originality" or "+1 Funny Troll" or something. I'm sitting in front of my StraightBuntu machine laughing my ass off.;^)
I have both VBox and Crossover Office running on 8.10 desktop. I also get 65536 back from that command. Using kernel 2.6.27-15 generic x86_64 No, I didn't tweak it, this is Ubuntu's setting.
This ^ What Blueskies says. Everyone in the freaking world needs to take a breath or ten, and THINK about - wait now - NOT the bugs, or even how many bugs, but HOW THE BUGS ARE HANDLED!!
I'm a recent convert to Linux, TBH. I've only been running it for about 5 years. Almost every month, I stumble over some article about a flaw in Linux. Yes, sometimes I get that almost juvenile sinking feeling, "OH NOES, DA PENGUIN IS FORKED NOW!!"
But, with every bug reported, there is a VISIBLE community effort to FIX THE BUG!!
Let's just suppose that starting today, 50 new bugs are reported in Linux and Linux apps every single day for a YEAR. Just suppose that 25% of them are serious bugs. I will STILL FEEL SAFER with Linux, than with Windows. Why, you ask? See that last one-sentence paragraph. With Windows, they often fail to acknowledge that there IS a bug. When they do admit, "There's a bug!", there is no obvious, visible effort to fix the bug. Often times, you can't tell that the bug HAS BEEN fixed. If it is ever fixed, the fix is kinda snuck into the system through automatic updates. THEN, you have to worry if the fix might break something else. Remember Windows XP SP3 and the endless reboot cycle? It bit me on two machines.
Open source is great. It's - uhh - what's the word I want - oh - OPEN!!! Someone says, "Hey, Linus, I think the kernel might be a little borked here." To which Linus responds, "Show me. Hmm, yeah, maybe it is - let's work on it."
Yes, I feel good about Linux - bugs and all. I know that if I ever get smart enough to show Linus a trick or something, he'll say "Thanks, dude!" Windows? Phhht. Show them something they don't know about their operating system, they're as likely to charge me with a trumped up crime for illegally reverse engineering, as anything.
Maybe that penguin doesn't rule, but you can trust the little bastard.
Hooray for common sense. Who watched the article on the news last evening? A cop - or all people a COP - called 911, to tell them that his car was accelerating, and he had no brakes. OK, good for him - he now has a car out of control, and he chooses to dial his fucking CELL PHONE. So, he's talking for several seconds - maybe half a minute. Then he runs through an intersection, crashes into someone, and I think he was killed.
I say - GOOD DEAL!! Thanks to Charles Darwin, I know that the gene pool has been filtered just a little bit.
NOT ONCE did he think to shift to neutral, or to turn the key off, or to pull the EMERGENCY brake, or to steer into something like the barriers alongside the road. The damn fool drove at an ever increasing speed into a busy intersection.
This fool's parents didn't wade very far out into the gene pool. No one ever told him, "HANG UP AND DRIVE, STUPID!" To him, it was more important to TALK TO SOMEONE, than to solve the problem.
