Not only do you have to assume they know what they are doing, but you have to assume they are maliciously trying to hack every portion of the enterprise environment.
Slow down there cowboy. US Diesel standards have only recently (2006) been upped to 15ppm sulfur so they don't clog all those European standard cars. The older 80-200ppm fuel standard would clog the injectors in less than 30k miles.
You imply that rational thought would be beneficial to the human races survival.
it has been shown that group think and herd mentality is stuff that will help the race survive and produce offspring.
That is the only goal of evolution. Evolution doesn't exist to make smarter people, just more people. Sometimes those two things coincide, sometimes they don't.

No, the big company executives are all going to go get a second job delivering pizzas in the evenings in order to pay for this. They wont pass it to the consumers that would be an excessive tax on the lower class and a drop in the bucket on the rich and upper middle.
Close, the main difference in your understand and what actually happened, the DMV didn't want to admit they were wrong and said I would have to fight it in court. When I checked into it by a quick call to a lawyer it would have been up to 6 months before I could get my license un-suspended after the court ruled. The easier fast and cheaper from that point of view was for me to just concede, pay the fine and take the class ~$120 total. License back in less than a week.
Of course letting that little thing slip by the government then made it so I wasn't able to contest in the other court. After explaining the situation they did drop it down to another ~$100 fine but wouldn't release the vehicle, so I had to pay the impound fee as well.
Like I said in another post, it's easy to say you'd do the right thing in a post to shashdot. It's a hell of a lot different when you're standing in front of a judge in a court room. Instead of fighting for the right thing I did the quickest thing I could do to get out of there.
It's easy to be high and mighty, chief defender of rights, champion of whats right, on the internet. It's completely different when you are standing tall in a court room with a judge looking down at you.
I'm not mad at the town or the DMV, I'm mad at the bureaucracy of which is doing nothing but growing. I'm mad at mandatory action laws that remove police judgment calls. I was told they would normally have let me go on my way, with a ticket and court date, just 2 years ago, but now they legally have to impound my vehicle.
Another point sure it would have been great that I could have fought, won(all else being fair), and moved on.
I needed my license back and would have been without it for the duration. My choices were few. The true cost of fighting it was much higher than not. This was working with 2 different courts that weren't communicating with each other.
Despite what you see on TV, a fair trial is not something you will get. Unless you consider lawyer costs. The fact that the DMV was going to fight that I was responsible for the camera ticket due to the actual person not showing up in court 2 years earlier and that getting misapplied to me as accepting guilt. The fact I would have to take off work at a minimum best case of 2 days due to having to fight in two different city courts, not counting for continuations or reschedules. Being without a license for the duration. Without a car for the duration. Paying for a cab to get around. The stress of being in a court room. Then sure it could be a fair trial.
Car was impounded for a mandatory 30 days. Some genius law to keep drunks with suspended licenses from getting their car back. Worked great for me to as someone who hasn't had a traffic ticket in over 9 years.
It's called a small town with no other source of income. The cop was pulling me over because of a missing license plate light right as it was getting dark. That's what set off the rest.
I had nothing to hide, let them search my vehicle. Didn't resist, was polite and as helpful as possible. When I asked why my licenses was suspended they said, they didn't know and that it was strange because their system usually gives a full reason. I was arrested and released on the spot due to procedure. One cop was "nice" enough to give me a ride to a local hotel as I was about 4 hours from home and had no vehicle.
I got back home and went to the DMV. There was a camera ticket taken of a car after I traded it in with a different person driving it. They said I could fight it and that I should get a lawyer. I would not have a license until after the full court battle went through. Instead I payed the $85 and went to an 8 hr class. Much less time and money.
When my court date came around I had a friend drive me to the town it happened in. I was looking to get my vehicle back and the stuff thrown out. The deal ended up I pay $80 fine for my license plate light being out. (the original reason I was pulled over) and $700 impound fee.
Again I could have fought it with a nice lengthy court battle, lawyer fees, impounded vehicle racking up charges, and there was still the chance that I would have won nothing. The law states "driving on a suspended license" and makes no exceptions for a mistakenly suspended license.
Sure I had almost $1000 for a screw up at the DMV, but I could have fought it, racked up 10x the cost in lawyer fees, had no car, have to get to a town 4 hours away, no way to get to work for 6+ months, and only a strong likelihood that I would have won.
In the end I'm sure that $1k was a boon to the small towns economy. I wouldn't doubt if the judge got a piece of it. The only time I had ever seen something so corrupt was when I had to get a friend out of a jail cell in Mexico. At least then I just payed the judge cash directly and he handed him over.

Perhaps they could build the Dinobots to come and rescue us.
We're all slimy on the inside.
reminds me of the handy capable guy from the film "Scary movie"?? I think?? the, "I can toss my own salad." guy.

I don't think they will have any problem with you selling your copy.
The buyer probably wont be able to play it, but you can sell them your unique copy.

is hogshead meant to be read as hog's head or hog shed?
I was never quite sure.
More so because of:

'You can read the source' is irrelevant 99% of the time;
The point is that someone, other than the original author, can and most likely has.

I agree 100%, yet some other idiots want these people to be in charge of health care, finance institutions, and almost every other facet of our life.

Once you understand his point, you'll understand the difference between being right and being true.
truth isn't always right.
