Just makes it a lot easier. See if they reach this milestone, they have to follow ALL the rules with out any of the benefit. So might as well IPO and get some cash.
In defense of the keyboard thing. If the keyboard controller received a bad signal for some reason F1 can reset it. Diconnecting the cable creates the same 'bad' signal.
How does this 'work?' If I pull out of my driveway and don't buckle up ( breaking the law ) and get in a crash that kills me, how did the law protect me. Maybe you meant Automatic seatbelts that can not be altered.
# Mandatory helmet laws for motorcyclists (agan, works in my area)
So at 65 MPH there is a magic helmet that keeps a cyclists head from sliting open? And even if it were, the head is not the only vulernable body part.
# Zero tolerance for liquored-up drivers
Again, how does this work? It's already illegal to drink and drive. I think that you are saying that the majority of the DUI related crashes are caused by repeat offenders. So we eliminate all of those, there are still the people who have never been arrested.
# Restricted permits for new drivers (no rush hour, no driving between sunset and sun-up, etc).
No rush hour????? I am assuming when you say new driver you mean the 16-18 year olds. Is the school time rush hour the same as the work rush hour? It's not where I live. My state already implements this. But breaking the law is pretty easy.
# Governors on all engines so that it's not possible to exceed the speed limit
Now you're getting crazy. Speed limits do change you know. They are not all 65 or 55 or whatever. It's more dangerous to be going 45 in a 20 zone than it is to be going 75 in a 65 zone, so unless you have a really smart governor, this won't work.
# Increased penalties for racing, reckless driving, etc.
Already here in my state. Strangely enough, people still do it.
# Removal of so-called "restricted permits" for people who have accumulated too many demerits.
I'm not sure what state you live in but do they HAVE any driving rules at all? After so many points one loses their license in my state, restricted or not.
# Mandatory retesting for anyone who has lost their license because of moving violations or booze.
See previous answer.
# Get rid of "road tanks" (SUVs) that make people think they're invulnerable.
OR make it illegal to own a small car. That all the road tanks will just crash into each other.
get rid of old age security and let your parents die of starvation as they grow old and can't afford food because of their perscriptions ( oh, because medicare is also gone ).
Why should I pay for the mistakes and miscalculations of others? Sure in the 60s and 70s I was assured if I paid, I'd be taken care of when I retired. But guess what. Once the Baby Boomers start retiring, the SS Trust fund is gonna start losing tons of money. So when I do retire ( probably at age 80, if the Feds have their way ), I'll get like 10% of what I put in. But hey as long as some old guy isn't eating dog food now, it's A-ok.
The money you would spend in getting Federal, State, and local permits would offset any savings you would incur from being off grid.
Since you said you are in the middle of nowhere I'll assume you are closer to NY than MD. Not that it matters, I'm just trying to think of a place that is in the middle of nowhere on the Susquehanna.

Gentoo has vanilla 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
You still need to change the oil every 3,000 miles.
3000 is a waste. 4500-5500 is now the standard.
Oh I agree. But the horse is out of the barn so to speak.
Usually because they have been bleeding money like it was 1999.

It's called a Social Security card.
Tell that to the Iraqi and Afghani spammers.
And what accomplishments are you remembering?
making sure that your scumbot script is in crontab?
Copying a entire song is illegal.

Bush has only been President for 3 years, are you saying taht they were NOT buying up stations until Bush became president?
AM talk shows are the same way.
So far, my favorite online book vendor is nerdbooks.com- nice people, great service, and NO SPYING.
That you know of.
I think the standard reponse from these NO TV people would be: Go see the game at the arena.
Fair use in the context of making copies for personal use doesn't exist in the US either.
Okay.
Voting.
We have the war. Terrorism. The economy. But you think that what will motivate people to go out and vote is MS being naughty?
How about the people who are in so much debt that crashing their car into another car just to get a big old check from the insurance company?
So in summary, in Canada, passing a law makes everyone get in line and not break said law.

So I fill my can for my lawnmower, and a kid who has no insurance wants to buy a quart of it off of me, how does your plan stop that?
How do you define crap?

But what if she's using the cellphone to call 911?
Well, I bought my UPSes mainly to have a cleaner for steady supply of power to things. Brownouts are hell on electronics.
