I'd be very tempted to go out one night and toss black trash bags over a bunch of them to see what happens. I'm guessing that they'll provide some connection to the grid for backup power. Of course, if you go by Intel's literature on the StrongArm, they should be able to run off the street lights. Of course, that was written by the marketing department, and has no bearing on actual capability.
Has anyone thought to compile a list of cars (make and model) which come equipped with black boxes? It would be good to produced such a list because it will allow the consumer to choose a car based on his or her inclinations toward privacy effectively voting with their checkbook.
This seems like a good idea, but it's not going to be widely adapted. It doesn't meet the real purpose of speed laws and speed enforcement, which is increasing city and state revenues. You may argue that it's a public safety matter, but that's really a secondary consideration when it comes to enforcing traffic laws.
You can hear them better because there's less vehicular traffic during the night. When a city is on the move during the day, all the cars effectively produce a blanket of white noise that reduces your perception of all the other sounds.
I'm afraid that all that will happen from this will be the issuance of more polution credits. If activists buy x credits, the EPA could simply create x more credits to sell to businesses who want them. I haven't delved into the law that created this system. Is there a cap on how much can be auctioned off? Are businesses really having to shell out for scarcer pollution credits, or is this a way for the government to bring in extra funds?
The unemployment system in most states in the U.S. is pretty harsh. You can only collect unemployment if you're laid off due to restructuring. If you're fired for cause or resign voluntarily, you can be denied benefits by your former employer. (Yes, the first say as to who's eligible is the employer. You can appeal to the state; but by the time the appeals process runs its course, you'll have starved to death.) Also, if you're unemployed in a state like Texas, the monthly cap on benefits is somewhere in the under-$1000 a month range.
Now they just need to get these guys together with the guy from the previous article on wooden speaker cones. Together they could buile the ultimate audio system. How much sake were they drinking when they came up with this idea?
My first task out of college was to update a system for Y2K. The stupid part: the system was developed in 1995! You think they'd have designed it right by then!
Of course, that's why you make it look like compliance for as long as possible. Make it look like you're taking off your seat belt while you're really drawing from your hip. Keep your body between yourself and the weapon for as long as you can, and pull the trigger as soon as the muzzle is pointed in the right direction.
If they have a gun pointed at your head, you have just as much chance of getting shot, no matter what action you take. You might as well take the most decisive action possible. Remember, you only have the rest of your life to solve the problem.

I'm working on a system built on an 8051 right now, and it does more than just collect money and measure time too.
Cool. I'll bring the goat around about 7pm.
That actually is the fraternities' secret.
A guy on my hall gave up his fraternity secrets for sex.
Really? We just got my room mate drunk and ran his pledge-book down to the local copy shop. Had all the secrets we ever needed.
That country would be the United States.

I think ballroom dancing might be the geekiest Olympic Sport. (yes it really is an olympic sport.)
Forget the games. I'm going to the shooting range.

Try changing the order of the keywords in the META tag. It might be harder if you use "radio hard", or if there are other keywords try "hard radio".
Or you could just drop the keywords.

It'll be on your p2p client of choice by around 7:00 tomorrow.

Couldn't you just turn it on a lathe?
We'll have your anger management class booked for later in the week. Please enjoy the complimentary tranquilizers.

David Boies is Jar Jar Binks.

LOL. That's almost the standard joke for the CHL safety classes: "Make sure you answer the cel-phone and not the pistol!"
Unless your an Abortion doctor I can think of little reason to carry a gun in the civilian field.
I'm not inclined to let your lack of imagination limit my self-defense options. Bad things happen, and I like to be prepared.
