I am guessing that you have never seen the pictures these things take. It is nothing like the security cameras at seven11 or circle K. These are high resolution pictures with extreem detail. Talk to someone who has seen the pictures, they will tell you.
I would say that it does and has worked, and will most likly continue to work. For smaller matters that really don't affect people that much this is the best way to go about it, but if something is really hurting someone and something needs to be done asap then civil disobediance is the best way to make change quick.
It is not going out side of the system like you may be thinking. You will still use the system, just rather than waiting on the legislation branch to vote on things you will be waitind on the applet process of the judicial branch, and if important enough the suprem court.
If you are right, then you're right, period. The next step is to convice others of that.
My previous post was all in the nice sense. Realy when you start looking at governemental law at least (kinda off topic but only a little) you will have companys and activists lobby the government for laws that they want, weather they are laws that everyone wants or even healthy to the sociaty. This is the point that our Represinitive Democracy brakes down. Large Corperations and special intrest groups start to get to many laws passed because they either slip them in under the radar or bury them in buracracy to the point that you can't ever find them untill you find out all of a sudden you have broken the law.
because it is the lawmakers that put in into law in the first place. If they didn't think it was the right thing to do then it would never have made it to the books. If you start breaking hte law in protest to it than you will start to bring new light that the law makers either didn't or wouldn't see before.
Although the charge for photo radar will be dropped if you are not in the picture are you saying that a car that is owned, regestered, and insured by you speeding or running a red light not evidence enough to atleast bring you up on charges. Sure you are inosent until proven guilty, but you also have the responsibilty of personal accountablity, and you may need to defend yourself if need be.
Isn't that what is called civil disobedience? If there is a law/rule that nobody wants or thinks is important don't you think they should re-examine why they have the law/rule in the first place.
Because there is money involved, and lots of it. When ever someone starts putting 7+ zeros onto the right side of a number older laws start to look more and more like what ever can produce the most money. Its an old law of capitalism: "whenever you find people haveing fun for free, find a way to charge for it."
when it is there it is there. You are just argueing that you no longer have the right to put your word agenst a police officers or other person. Now it's your word agenst a photo of you commiting the act.
It isn't fair now that I can't get away with breaking the law.
PS I am a big fan of much stricter enforcement of laws, but also a much bigger fan of reduceing the number of laws and makeing them much more lenient. Especially when we can have things like traffic monitors and stop light cameras.
this sounds just like the phone company and caller id. charge people for caller id, then charge companys for caller id blocker, then charge people for caller id blocker breaker, then charge spammers for caller id blocker breaker defeater, then.........
* If said crackers mess up the lives of a bunch of CA politicians, will we get better laws, or worse?
I am apposed to your automaticly thinking that these hackers are white. They could be black people or hispanic as well. Right off you go out and call them all crackers.
I think it was nicilodian (sp?) that did a show called "Mad Movies" where they took old movies and gave them new dialog. It wasn't as funny as it possibly could have been because it was to targeted at kids.
The only complaint i had was why didn't the PS2 use some full screen anti aliasing or something that could breath new life into the older games giveing smother looking graphics.
I think you are mistaking. GTK is an X11 widget tool kit. It has nothing to do with rodent feces. but I can uderstand how you would not lick it in that instance.
Slashdot Mirror
Yea, and get the hell out as fast as you can in order to live in the good ole USA
will they be available anywhere for atleast the next couple hours.
"I feel a great disturbance in the webserver. As if a million geeks just hit our site, then suddenly silence. We must have been posted on slashdot."
I think it would be more like:
They alligned there electrons in the same order as my electrons!!

ok I think I over did my 2cents worth.

Sig? Why bother? I'm not smart or clever.

Your inferiority complex is soo much better than mine

Kinda sad I've been reading Slashdot for so long I didn't even notice.
or star trek vs babalon 5
with 2 star wars characters in it.

ohh well

I see it more along the lines of things being taped and broadcast in wide screen and then the black bars filled up with banner ads. and info scrolls.
Support?
Maybe hidden or secret source code might be a good way to spin it.
Why buy software that the people have to hide or keep the source a secret? If they dont have something to hide?
just a random thought

Just a thought.
but he clicked on the "bugs and issues"...
ahh nevermind
It all comes down to what is going to get me laid more. Any question of why do you do something comes back to that one thing some where.
Why do I want this perl code to go faster? Ohh yea cause it will get me laid more.
Why do I use linux? Ohh yea cause it will get me laid more.
Perl code goes faster, get permotion, get more money, buy nicer car, take chicks out on dates.
Use linux, get better job, get more money, chicks dig money.
really, try to come up with anything you do that is not to get laid more. You just cant do it.
and tax the poor for wellfare...
wait a minute I think I'm on to something. We could give wellfare to everyone. As long as you pay for it yourself.
I think you are mistaking. GTK is an X11 widget tool kit. It has nothing to do with rodent feces. but I can uderstand how you would not lick it in that instance.
