Of course... the light they're shining on your DL is UV and is used to light-up the UV-reactive inks on your DL. There's also some fun stuff on your credit cards (Amex, MC, Visa at least) - but I suspect you were using that as a synecdoche.
That aside - the status of a driver's license is not necessarily automatic in all states. An easy example is state's with particularly young driving ages (or possible driving age if you're living on a farm or the like). If you then move to another state, you may be able to drive there while not a resident - but once you become a resident you'll typically have to get the license of the state that you're in. If you aren't of age - then no dice.
And for a lovely TRNG - check out what this guy did with a satellite receiver - if you've got some time, you can probably generate several gigabytes of one-time pads. You'll have to protect them and destroy them after use, but you could probably have enough for all your bandwidth needs while in country.
Figuring out a tunnel that uses one-time pads as a key is left as an exercise to the reader.
Although if you can get the people you really want to talk to elsewhere on board, you could use RedPhone. Not what the question is asking, but another way to help.
You don't get a free pass on a crime because you happen to be in another country. That is the whole point of agencies like Interpol and things like Extradition Treaties. You can't just skip to another nation and say "Ha, ha! Can't arrest me!" That is actually what is going on with Assanage right now. Sweden has chosen to criminally charge him, but he's in England.
The rest of your post seems to clarify, but your first sentence only alludes to the fact that these things are enforceable when the crime is committed on US* soil. If you are from the US and go to Amsterdam, smoke some weed, and come back to the US, you haven't done anything illegal** (assuming you aren't a member of the military in which case you'd be subject to the UCMJ the whole time). There are some other exceptions in US law, notably that traveling to have sex with a child/engage in kiddie porn is illegal (leaving the US with the intent, not the actual act in a place where it may be legal).
* : By US I mean the country in which the act is committed - and given the story, this applies.
** : Pedants who wish to educate me on the finer points of Netherlands drug laws need not respond.
Your modem perhaps, but won't each person behind the modem have a random set of trailing bits? Including that guy who's using your open wireless network to do 'bad' things?
Given that the court doesn't have jurisdiction over him, can he just refuse to respond (or rather, respond with a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction)? Or does that trick only work if someone brings suit against you, vice a TRO?
Except of course the various reasons why that won't happen - MS would rather have people using Windows than get paid for all the copies[citation needed]; patches will be made for the shutdown trigger[citation needed]; oh and security patches still happen on WGA failing machines. (It's the 5th question down).
OK, so the last one isn't a reason why MS won't do what you suggest, but it is important because even invalid copies aren't left unpatched - that would be disastrous.
What h4rr4r is saying above is that the baseband (radio) ROM that is the modem firmware (because yes, phones are still basically PDAs duct-taped to a cell modem, albeit a high-speed one) is not beat on by hackers (at least not the ones in the light).
The PDA's ROM (Android+apps) is what makes up a custom ROM. Could you still spam out lots of SMS messages and cause havoc on a US network by clogging the control channel - probably, but then again you don't need a smartphone for that.
On the flipside, I'd love to see more baseband/radio hacking (antenna and amplifier compatibility be damned) for swapping phones from XXMHz to YYMHz.
Oh how I wish your view prevailed, but the fact is that while the card was valid at the time the purchase was fraudulent and the purchaser effectively stole from the merchant. The payment processor (who bundles transactions up to Visa/MC/Amex/etc. networks) will pull the payment from the merchant's account without notice (see http://www.natwest.com/global/legal/business/worldpay.ashx under section 8. Chargebacks and specifically 8.5)
8. CHARGEBACKS
1. 8.1 In certain circumstances, Card Issuers, Card Schemes and/or Other Financial Institutions refuse to Settle a Transaction or require repayment from Us in respect of a Transaction previously Settled and/or Remitted, notwithstanding that Authorisation may have been obtained from the Card Issuer and/or Other Financial Institution (such circumstances being a " Chargeback").
and
# 8.5 Where a Chargeback occurs, We shall immediately be entitled to debit Your Merchant Bank Account and/or make a deduction from any Remittance in accordance with clause 7.3.1 and/or invoice You in accordance with clause 7.3.2 to recover:
1. 8.5.1 the full amount of the relevant Chargeback; and
2. 8.5.2 any other costs, expenses, liabilities or Fines which We may incur as a result of or in connection with such Chargeback (" Chargeback Costs").
# 8.6 A Chargeback represents an immediate liability from You to Us and where the full amount of any Chargeback and/or any Chargeback Costs is not debited by Us from Your Merchant Bank Account or deducted from any Remittance or invoiced as referred to in clause 8.5, then We shall be entitled to otherwise recover from You by any means the full amount of such Chargeback and Chargeback Costs (or the balance thereof, as the case may be).
# 8.7 We shall not be obliged to investigate the validity of any Chargeback by any Card Issuer, Card Scheme or Other Financial Institution, whose decision shall be final and binding in respect of any Chargeback.
It sucks and merchants get the shaft and as locallyunscene said, "Credit Card Companies have a very sweet deal."
A report from the BI Norwegian School of Management has found that those who download music illegally are also 10 times more likely to pay for songs than those who don't.
(emphasis mine)
So are you saying that you think piracy is here to stay along with people paying for music? Or the opposite?
There was an opinion piece in the Washington Post recently talking about this very thing (under point 1). Basically the punchline is that we want to avert them really being crazy, so we do a little something, they do less than we want and things are copacetic again for a time. Rinse, repeat every decade.
Would this eventually get to an unsustainable point? Perhaps. Personally, I think we'll see at least another few decades of this (i.e. at least one or two with the youngest son) but I hope that by then reunification will be under way.

I believe you're conflating either the National Driver Register or Driver License Compact or even the Non-Resident Violator Compact with the TSA's policy to accept government issued IDs. The NRVC is notably not reciprocal between all states.

Well if Microsoft did it, it must be good. ...Wait a second...

I use this for any sticker that goes on my car (that I apply) - mostly because I hate having to take a razor blade to the nasty gunk that's left over.
The various sticker providers might not like it, but frankly unless I go the extra step and actually do something to defraud them, I don't care.

Well, you can send an image at least.

Out of curiosity, what wi-fi-only handheld device did you get?
Not exactly - and you certainly won't be able to unsee that donkey midget porn the guy two cubes over likes to watch during lunch.
Dear $DEITY - a reasoned, thoughtful, insightful, and thought-provoking comment on /.
I think I need to go lie down.
As long as you're talking SE phones - get the w995 a far better phone and can be found for cheap on eBay.
So far you only have 3 mod-ups... I feel like that much effort into a post deserves the other two.
