Almost everything this Ray Priest said in the article is incorrect. The state department's own policy is that a passport with a bad RFID is still valid, and will be handled the same as a passport without RFID.
As I recall, Robocop 2 (which was a horrible movie) was about some evil guy's brain being put into a robot, and then running amok. That's not a true robot, that's a cyborg; really just a normal human, but in control of a mechanical body. I'm talking about true robotic cops, without emotion or feeling or desires, just carrying out their programming.
Because, as we all know, programming never has bugs and is always perfect. Your robotic cops will be programmed to handle every possible situation that ever could occur, and they'll handle them all fairly, only arresting those who should be, never use violence when not absolutely necessary, etc.
My previous comment was semi-sarcastic; I'm certainly no technophobe, but I think you're putting way too much faith in programming and robotics for this particular job. Not to say that human cops are anywhere remotely close to perfect, but I think the gammit of possible situations a cop can run into and how to handle them properly (which is often not cut and dry) is too much for the AI of today or the near-to-medium term future.
Generally speaking, private health insurance companies also require referrals to see a specialist.
It sucks that you went through this, especially as a child with no control over the situation, but would you have preferred no care at all, which is what you would have gotten if medicaid didn't exist?
Yep, I've used AVG for a few years. The reason I switched to it in the first place was that it had a small footprint and introduced very little slow-down compared to the other major AVs. Since then, with each major update it has gotten bigger and slower, to the point that now it doesn't seem to be any better than anybody else. I'll definitely look at alternatives for my next machine.
But if you follow the link to Mozilla page on the subject, it says the problem affect ALL versions of Firefox. It's McAfee that claims it only affects FF 7.
Same here... I've been working on a project for quite some time. I thought I was done other than some cleanup and improving performance. I met with management last week to show them the program and do some testing, and wound up with a whole laundry list of additional features to implement. I have a month to do 2-3 months worth of work (not to mention I have other projects I'm dealing with).
Thing is, lets face it, the people who own tablets don't read books. Of all the people I know with tablets, they never mention reading on it. They may read websites, possibly magazines, but not long form. The readers I know own Kindles. That's why Amazon was smart not to ignore it's core audience, the heavy reading Kindle users (like myself and my wife).
Now the Fire will let Amazon get at a new audience - the people who want to cheaply consume video, and music. But they also keep their fans of shopping and heavy reading.
It's a reference to the Jonestown Massacre. The members of the "People's Temple" committed mass-suicide by drinking Kool-Aid laced with cyanide. The expression "drinking the Kool-Aid" implies someone blindly accepts or believes something.
The current deal with Starz doesn't expire until the end of February 2012 (according the the Washington Post article you linked). So they still have the Starz provided movies until then.
I noticed 2-3 DVDs in my queue each week turn to from no wait to "Unavailable" and move to the "Saved" pile since they announced the changes. Prior to that, I'd only seen this happen with a couple (of the print) DVDs. Looks to me like they're paring down their DVD selection (at least a little).
5. Contact the provider that gave you to device and ask for one that actually works properly, explaining you don't want to run afoul of the law.
6. Disable the WiFi on the provider's device, and buy your own Wireless Access Point (or router).

Roads are not a "privilege"... however driving is.
For that matter, if he was the one committing the assault...

What about downloadable through Xbox Live and PSN?
Should you really let a doctor named "Fried" give you electrical shock treatments?
Actually, I was thinking of the ED-209 is the first Robocop, when it shot up the OCP executive... don't know why I thought that was the second movie.

Law enforcement, too, can be automated with robots (this one's even farther ahead than the garbage-collecting robot). Remember THX-1148?
Remember Robocop 2?
Was this already slashdotted? Or is the link bad? Strange to have a web link using port 82.

I own a tablet and I DO use it for reading books.

Altavista = Yahoo nowadays. Lycos still appears to be around in some form. Who knew?
That was false.

Yes... The best security today will likely be crap security 10 years from now.
The last line of TFA says businesses and schools are also liable, but somehow I doubt big corporations would ever be charged with this.
Damn formatting removing line breaks!
