No. The point is that it doesn't matter why you are impaired. Whether it's because you have diabetes, drank a bottle of scotch, or ate several space cakes. If we had a test that accurately measured the impaired-ness of a person, we wouldn't have to worry about BAC or how much THC was found in your system. We wouldn't have to develop a new test every time someone finds a new drug.
Wouldn't the complete opposite be a school where the students compete to get the highest grade? That's what I did at my school. After a test we would compare each others grades to see who got the highest. We even had a teacher who would first grade the tests of the kids who regularly had high grades. That way the order in which he graded was kind of like a scoreboard for who had the best grades.
I can get horse meat in the supermarket sometimes (Netherlands). I never buy it because it's usually meat from some old workhorse that had to be put down. Don't they sell it in the USA?
Right, because renaming a variable is a simple matter of find and replace all. That only works if I have globally unique names for every variable I might want to rename. It also means I have to do the same thing for each separate file if the editor doesn't do replace in several files at once. Even for emacs they made cedet, which gives you a bunch of these features.
How about a good laugh with your friends at all the ridiculous crap that shows up on google? At least, that's what my friends and I got out of it the few times we googled each other.
The site will be Virtually invulnerable, as in the virtual server may be invulnerable (because they have many copies), but the physical machine it's running on isn't. What's the difference between having virtual servers with different hosting providers and having actual servers with different hosting providers? It seems to me both are equally vulnerable to the police, and in any case the load balancers seem like the weak point.
So much this. Some of us can't get payed for the things we really like to do (i.e. spend time with friends and family, or do sports). In fact I wouldn't even want to do sports professionally, because then it wouldn't be fun for me any more. It doesn't mean I don't enjoy my job, of course I do, but the job is just a means to an end, not the end itself.
Can someone explain how a wireless approach could use less power than a wired approach? I understand that if you compare a crappy wired implementation to highly optimized wireless implementation the wireless might win out, but then it would be cheaper to optimize the wired one.
The USA fingerprints every foreigner entering the country (at least at airports). This policy is nothing new, and has been in place for some years now.
At first I thought of some of my favorite books like Discworld series, Dune, Mark Twain, Refactoring, things like that.
But I think for a book that really had a significant impact on my life I would have to go back much further, to when I first started to enjoy reading.
So here is my list:
The very hungry caterpillar. My parents would read it to me every night when I was young.
Een motorboot voor een drijvend flesje. (A motorboat for a floating bottle) This is the first book that I remember reading and not wanting to stop reading even when it was finished. In a way I think that this book is the one that really got me into reading. Before this the only reading I did was for school.
The caves of steel. My first real introduction to science fiction, and pretty much convinced me what my favorite category of books is.
Probably not very special books on their own, but I feel like they influenced my reading significantly.
Then regulate percentage of body fat or something.
Or maybe limit the number of hours per year that someone is allowed to train.
It's just not fair that I can't compete in the Olympics just because I only swim several times per year.
Maybe we should regulate BMI as well.
Only people with average or above average BMI can compete in the Olympics.
That way we can disqualify anyone who is actually good at the various sports.
More importantly the original revival of the Olympics was just part of the whole Eugenics craze of that era in history and you can't really breed a super race without super women as well as super men.
That certainly explains all the sex in the Olympic village.
Although, it doesn't explain why they hand out condoms.
I don't know a single person who uses twitter (that I know of).
From my friends to my family to the people at work, none of them has given any indication of using it.
Whenever it comes up and I ask people if they use it they say no.
So as far as I can tell only celebs use twitter.
That makes sense to me, since they need to do it for publicity and it's in or something.
They should just use a light instead of sound.
Even at school we waved a flag to start because if we went by sound it would introduce an error into the timing.

This had me laughing so hard.
You're confusing psychopaths with sociopaths.
Non-psychopaths should not be placed in positions that require them to make important decisions because they are easily influenced by their emotions.
No.

My life is far more important to me than yours.
I think that most people would think the same even if they might not admit it.

Maybe supradermally?
I'm not sure.
I'm Dutch and I flew to the USA last year and I was fingerprinted.
So were most of the other people on that flight.

In hindsight I should have read the summary before posting.
