Human rights are not the same thing as what you dub "citizens' rights," though they certainly overlap to a great degree. I think that if you asked most Americans about human rights they'd list the most basic things like genocide, slavery, etc. Not freedom of the press, though this is also on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; which the US did ratify. Also note that our Bill of Rights (which is what we call it, not "citizens' rights") recognizes things beyond human rights principles e.g; right to bear arms or separation of church and state. Surely you don't expect that an aribtrary visitor be granted the former? Finally, as I read Bouvier's Law Dictionary and the UDHR habeas corpus is also above and beyond those rights affirmed in the latter, and a functional element of a particular form of judicial system.
I sincerely doubt anybody will truly be thrown off by the color, but IS&T has a long history of grossly underestimating their users. It's been over a decade since DPMS was conceived, but the Athena boxen (run by IS&T) don't use it or any other kind of power saving; for fear that someone will sit down in front of a machine with a black screen and be so stunned and bewildered that they'll come running and screaming and bother the sysadmins.
As for dealing with the bone-headed keyboard layout propagated by MS/laptop makers, it runs afoul of muscle memory. 'tis no different than all the extra typos/time lost due to switching between board with different pipe/backspace placements.
Umm, Belgium actually has the larger vested interest. Belgium and Luxembourg can arguably seen as a single country; although most Luxembourgers would be loathe to admit it. Predating the E.U. (and a predecessor thereof) are the various BeNeLux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) alliances. Belgium is a kingdom, and Luxembourg a dukedom that used the same currency longe before the euro was instated.
First, Jscript ne JavaScript Second, if you're unlucky enough to be using IE you do have alternatives: VBScript and, if you have installed ActiveState, PerlScript (not that I recommend enabling a browser with such power). I also seem to recall a Tcl plug-in back in the day.
Nevertheless, JavaScript is the de fact standard and so everybody uses it, to minimize the potential for "foo only" websites.
There's also Microcenter which is not as good as Fry's, and has increased in suckitude over the last few years, but is still much better than Circuit City or Best Buy.
Often enough that they're there. Again though, if you could actually read I said FRANCE. You know, that country one would assume you hate without having ever visited (based upon your home page)?
Depends on the culture, photo booths are prevalent in France (think plot of Amelie). They're at many malls and train/subway stations. They seem to be the standard format for (self-supplied!) pictures for IDs.
What the hell are you smoking? Anyone in their right mind is pro-space colonization. Not only are we fouling our own nest, but all sorts of of natural bad things happen all the time. The surest way to ensure the continuation of the planet's/universe's only known sentient being (and other lifeforms) is not to keep them all in one gravity well. So what if we have to pay a fair price for lunar materials? At least they're not coming out of strip mines here. More likely though, is that we'd import finished goods that could not be manufactured here (as easily); free vacuum and low gee make metal processing fun.
This thing didn't work that well in Firefox either. And there's no need to quote "improve performance", they really did need to improve it. I happened to hit the site yesterday for directions and it was dog slow for no improvement in usability (just aesthetics). Worse, they were using an invalid Google Maps API key from the test server in production.
c) How does it put anybody at a disadvantage? A state ID is issued by the DMV and
looks almost exactly the same. So where's the problem? Everyone asks to see some
ID, not adriver's license (except for a cop who's pulled you over). Hell, kids
often get state ID's...
Right yes, sure. Legislate human behavior. Only the U.S. controls access to misc. substances. You also forgot that murder and rape are human behaviors too. Can't regulate them. No siree Bob. Wouldn't work. Not right. Get a frickin' clue.
No we don't. The SSN is a unique identifer, which is a far cry from a valid form of identification. And you're an idiot for giving your SSN to anyone outside of the government or financial industries (where it is reasonably required).
a) we have IDs already, just a not national behemoth. b) SSN has nothing to do with anything, they mentioned needing a Real ID to access the
service but not conflating Real ID with SSN. I'm sure Social Security currently
requires the use of your state ID (typically a driver's license) because an SS card
is never supposed to be used as an ID (although many try to request access to it as
such). c) this is all standard information on driver's license/state ID (along with height,
gender and often hair and eye color)
Even you're even a minor trek fan and enjoy/can tolerate house I recommend tracking down some Star Pilot on Channel K (S.P.O.C.K), a nifty little Sci-Fi Swedish band. "Never Trust a Klingon" and "The Trouble with Tribbles" are especially good.

Sorry you lose, freeway speed limits (55 and stay alive) actually have their origins in fuel economy (1/2 mv^2)
Again, the U.S. ratified the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
You might want to actually read up on that before spouting off.

His pattern indicates two dimensional thinking.

A terser comment with some of the same content not

Eveybody caves eventually. Compare the history of adoption of 21 as drinking age.
Yeah, because unionization of labor has absolutely *nothing* to do with commerce.

"Never Trust a Klingon" and "The Trouble with Tribbles" are especially good.
Correct on the first point, not on the second e.g; horta
Or you could get a clue. CD-Text has been around since 1996 thank you very much.
Yes, and ANSI. IETF/W3C were mentioned because of the JavaScript crossover.
Of course there's also IEEE, which largely concerns itself with hardware (e.g; Firewire)
In summary, it's all a big mess.
