Full text of the Law 811.205 Carrying child on external part of vehicle; penalty.
(1) A person commits the offense of carrying a child on an external part of a motor vehicle if the person carries any child upon the hood, fender, running board or other external part of any motor vehicle that is upon a highway.
(2) The offense described in this section, carrying a child on an external part of a motor vehicle, is a Class B traffic violation.
Accidentally kill somebody with your car, and you go to jail for involuntary manslaughter, even if your intentions were perfectly innocent.
Ummm... no.
It has to be proven that it is YOUR fault. If your breaks just die on you and you fail to stop your vehicle due to a manufacturing error, or you skid off the road due to a oil stain or ice on the said road - that is not your fault. On the other hand, if it can be proven that you go around claiming that you refuse to maintain your vehicle (change oil, breaks, do check-ups...) because it is a part of a global conspiracy to sell you things - you probably have another thing coming.
If a news reporter sells drugs to school kids to prove how easy it is to do, he's still gonna go to jail!
If a news reporter sells packets of sugar or oregano to kids there is nothing to base the charge on. Also, if a reporter contacts the law enforcement prior to the act, and does it under the supervision of the said law enforcement, reporter would not be criminally charged any more than an police officer would be if he/she did it as a part of a under-cover operation.
My sister plans to get a notebook in the next two months. BUT... it should be way smaller than dad's, cause that thing is just too huge to carry around.
Notebook in question - 15.4" ACER Aspire.
And yes, she does use her desktop PC just for typing, surfing, e-mail and music. So, a netbook is about just the right size portable computer for her.
If you do that, you have to ship the purchased items somewhere.
There is this strange concept called "rented apartment", I'm not sure if you have heard of it? Have all the goods delivered within couple of days, loaded on a truck and then make like a tree and get out of there.
Also, you could sell stuff directly to other people. Open up a store on ebay or amazon for real items - with an attractive discount.
- People come, pay you real cash over amazon or through paypal, - You buy items from somewhere on the internet using your stolen cards and mail them directly to your customers. - Wait a bit. - Profit!
For fuck's sake! Is it so hard for Apple fanboys to accept the possibility that anything-apple IS actually run by regular, fallible humans, capable of a major screw-up?
So much that they would rather accept that a bunch of Chinese are willing to go to jail (possession of stolen credit-card numbers, credit card fraud, tax evasion...) over a dollar-fifty then that somewhere at Apple-store someone simply FUCKED UP! This is fucking borderline racism. "Chinese would be happy with 200:1 payout".
Think about it for a second for fuck's sake. If YOU had electronically transferable valuable marketable goods that has a fixed price in one part of the world - would you sell it locally for 1/200th of it's value? Or would you go on the interweb and find someone in that distant part of the world and sell the fucking thing for what would seem to him a bargain price of 50-90% value?
When you buy goods (gift certificates) with stolen funds (credit cards) so you would sell those goods to a third party and thereby make a profit - THAT IS money laundering.
And just imagine such a crazy scenario where they would spend not just $200.00 at a time, but drain the entire card to buy items such as jewelry, luxury items, or even iPhones or iPods - anywhere else on the internet. You know... items that can be sold almost immediately if you sell it for a right price. Or if you use ebay or amazon to sell items for "clean money" - while you pay for them with "dirty money".
Possibility 2 would in no way be profitable - they are selling $200 gift certificates for 11 yuan. About $1.61. 200:1 money laundering scheme? I don't think so.
On the other hand, human stupidity implied in the possibility 1 is always a plausible solution to any case involving humans.
That would mean that scaled up to countries (as we ARE actually talking about entire countries here) a single terrorist act would wipe out the entire country? Save a couple of examples like Vatican, San Marino, Monaco, Nauru and such - that is simply not a possibility.
So, if you are adjusting other people's analogies - take care.
Oh and... If the rapist declares that after raping YOU that he is going to kill YOU - how does that give you right to take out dozens/hundreds/thousands innocent bystanders when you blow him up? Ever hear of a knife? Or a gun? Or a kick in the groin? There ARE alternatives to scorched earth tactics you know.
Anyone know what the circular mounds are to the north of the base?
I could probably tell you that those are the Top Secret military pancake storage facilities, but then you would have to be blurred out on google maps too.

Watchmen Watched

· Score: 1
As a medium, film is inherently incapable of producing a work with as much breath, depth and contrast as Watchmen, or any other graphic novel, or indeed any other type of novel at all. Movie buffs may disagree with me, but I think it stands to reason that no film of any reasonable length has the time and opportunity to engage with the viewer in the same way that a novel consistently engages with its reader.
Soo... according to that logic, only way one should experience say... Hamlet is by reading it? Despite the fact that it was created with intention of being a play, acted by humans in costumes, on a stage, live, for a very limited "unpausable" amount of time.
No. Movies CAN be a great adaptation of graphic novels or novels period - it is Alan Moore's writing that is problematic when you attempt to convert it to an "actable" medium. Sin City and 300 worked great as movies - because Miller writes what are essentially still frames with overdub or conversation and action splash pages with overdub. Moore on the other hand does something akin to rewriting Alice in Wonderland while dumping about a century or two of cultural references, stacked layer upon layer and adding huge amounts of dialog into the story. Or just plainly turning it into porn. While dumping huge amounts of text into the story. So naturally, one ends up reading something like Black Dossier while googling for references on the web.
It is not that comics (or graphic novels as quasi-intellectual crowd that can't bare being caught reading comics calls them) are unfilmable, it is Alan Moore that purposefully writes them as such to prove his agenda. Which ranges somewhere between "I am a REAL writer, you know!", "I am smarter then all you mere mortals! Gaze upon my work and despair!" and doing a Lennon's Walrus ("Let the fuckers work that one out").
And for those that will rise up chanting that Miller can't and mustn't be compared to Moore - wait a bit until Gaiman does "Death and Me" (or however it will be called). Then we will be shown what happens when a "wordy and talkative" author leads the project and directs his own work - compared to an author who distances himself from it and all but calls for a boycott of a movie based on his work.
I actually referred to the fact that teenagers faces continuously change over a period of time - a process that would require plastic surgery with adults.
But yes... Teens do "fixes" these days too. In some cultures and families it is akin to visiting a dentist.
As long as the person's face has matured to a point that it will not deviate from the scanned metric
Exactly!
And what better place to study how slight and not so slight alterations of those factors on a real persons face affect the scanner then a institution full of growing teenagers who can come from a summer vacation not only couple of inches taller but also with a longer or wider face? Plus you get all those kids that will try to trick the machine with a photocopy/video recording on a laptop/plastic 3D model/paper mache head etc. - as an added bonus.
You WILL get students with photocopies of their friend's faces (and/or other similarly low-tech solutions to allow the automated system to recognise and register them) in order to get out of lessons, lectures, etc. that they are made to attend.
(any identical twins go to that college, or even just two people who look alike?), potentially discriminatory (What if someone's face isn't recognised? What if they have disfigurement? What if they deliberately obscure their face or object to the system? Do you allow a bypass to that system for them?).
... that it is a great testbed for determining the flaws of the system and fine-tune it against deliberate ways of obscuring one's face or missidentification due to either deliberate attempts to present oneself as someone else or accidentally through changes in facial structure due to puberty?
What better group to test your system on then a bunch of teenagers. They ARE smarter than anyone else anyway (or so they think) and it is in their nature to go against the system and find a way to "play it". Plus their faces change through puberty on their own.
It is ONE school. How useful could data from only one school in the entire UK be for a forming of some BigBrotherTM database?
Nah... It's something much simpler. Same reason the face-recognition companies practically gave away their hardware to selected locations in India so they could get better at recognizing the "darker" faces.
Fine tuning.
Teenagers have a tendency for two things more than any other age group. Growing up and changing their facial structure very quickly in a matter of months AND they "play" with their faces more than anyone else. Makeup and cosmetics for girls, facial hair for boys, piercings etc. for both.
The point of this "experiment" is to teach the machines how to successfully identify people even if they change their hairstyle, hair color, eye color, grow a beard or a mustache, do some light plastic surgery or heavy makeup to alter their faces, etc.
Now, when they put this in every school - THAT is for making the Great Britain's Good Citizens Glorious Database or GBGCGD.

Who cares if you throw away 99% of the value of the original credit card? It's not their money they're wasting.
Anyone who could buy jewelry on Amazon instead for full money value? Or anything else on ebay?
You know, criminals may be superstitious and cowardly lot (according to Batman) but they are not THAT stupid to throw away 99.5% of the profit away.
