I've never been to a parts store where anyone asks for a VIN, and if I did I'd be as suspicious of that as I would be if I saw someone wandering around outside looking *at* VIN's on cars. Perhaps you live somewhere in the world where VIN cloning isn't an issue.
I however do, so much so that they're looking at making it a federal crime.
Enjoy your life, in all its stages, then move along -- this world was never meant to be your home forever.
You must hate me, I plan to live forever on the backs of those who oppose me. I believe I'll start with you, and your young supple organs. You don't need them...do you?
Only until next year when the new version comes out, the old version becomes useless and the previous content becomes incompatible. Or you're required to have a paid legacy account.
Wait for it.
What? Newspaper is only good for one thing? Who knew...apparently the folks who don't use it for composting either.
That's rather funny. No it really, really is. Especially when you consider exactly what it cost to make that e-reader, and all the assorted junk. Again you missed the original point of my post, so why am I not surprised.
Not really. You realize it costs more to recycle paper, than it does to cut down a tree and make new pulp for paper right? The broken window fallacy only applies if the costs weigh in one direction comparative to the other.
Probably has to do with the fact that people who are teachers in Michigan are either new, or teachers from schools that are shut down. Gotta figure, who is going to teach where when there's no one to teach?
I can could buy a house in parts of that state, with prices that haven't been seen in nearly 30 or more years.
Probably it's legacy software. Same issues we had with 8>16 and 16>32bit. If they can ensure that there's a compatibility level, then they can let business do a transition efficiently without having to scrap all their old programs.
I know a bunch of places(government at that) around here that are still using OS/2 and netware 3.x, how funny is that? On their internal networks. But it's because that's all they can use for their database and management software.
Actually I'm not. Remember that people had the same issues with the transition from 3.x to 9x. Then people had the same issues in the transition from 9x to XP. Even with the minor revisions there were enough issues to warrant support calls over it, and people wanted the old vanilla UI brought back. Remember how lost a lot of people felt moving from CLI to a GUI? While there's a large segment of people here who still work in a CLI environment, even that is slowly moving away in the Linux environment to ensure that more people can have a 'ease of use'. Allowing it to expand. That's the only reason I could move my grandmother to it, and ensure she could 'use' it easily.
I expect within 20yrs, that programing will move from CLI to a complete object oriented programing system. And people will wonder why people wrote in lines of code, after the universal adoption of a standard UI/Programing interface system.
Our minds adapt to fluidity of day-to-day use. So if people are using Vista, their minds adapt to it. Shifting back requires people to use that previously learned behavior, or behavior that they've overwritten.
Statue law never overrides common law, in so as much that common law never overrides statue law. If the courts decide not to apply a law, then it doesn't get applied. It doesn't matter what the government says. If the courts decide they don't want to apply it to sentencing then it doesn't happen.
If the courts decide that they want to change the wording of a statue. They simply work around by creating new common laws(via case law), in order to change the law. And, if it goes on and on, then it moves to appeal courts who further interpret the statues, and further modify the law by creating new case laws, and making this binding on the provincial courts. Unless it's the supreme court.
There you go, a brief introduction of how the legal system of Canada works.
So really, the only province that has actually used 'not withstanding' has been Quebec. Thought so.
Lets not forget that in most cases that Canada is ruled by Common law instead of Statue law. Sure the government can pass Statue law. But the judges can ignore it if they decide to when it comes to their decisions, and that can run all the way to the supreme court. It has before, it will again.
Only one government in all of Canada has ever used "Not withstanding" to push something on people, and that was Quebec with the language laws.
What is it with all these newbies? 286s at 20mhz? Get away from my Vic20 at 1mhz! My glorious tape drive holds all the knowledge I need! Touch my patch cable and I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN!
I'm currently being taught by an instructor who was a member of PAPPA(Police Organization Providing Peer Assistance), and was at the pit a couple of weeks after. Members of the NYPD and FDNY who post/read here know what I'm talking about. One of the things he repeatedly relates to those of us in class is that for every member of the NYPD that was at the meetings, and every member of the FDNY who didn't go realize how much stress, and PTSD has come up from the event.
The issue is for all those people still working downtown, the people who worked in the pit, and got second hand info from others, the first responders, I'll bet that PTSD kicked in for some of them today. Saying that it is a once in a life time event is fine, however the effects of that event have not gone away for many people. Without the proper outlet, and resources for people it won't either. The human psyche is an amazing thing, it's also very fragile.
I'll even hazard that for a good number of them, they were stuck in a tunnel seeing the same events from 9/11 all over again, when Air Force One did that flyby, or even did when they heard about it later today.
Flu's can kill quick, and fast with high vectors of infection. With the ability to overwhelm the entire health infrastructure in the matter of a week or two. Where HIV and STD's are generally controllable, preventable, and treatable when proper measures are used, or are put into practice.
What makes this particular one worse is that it strikes people in their prime, not the young or old.
Mexico City has direct flight lines to just about every major hub point in the world. It's already by and far too late to even worry about it, one of the immunologists here in Ontario has stated it's better to prepare believing it's already wild in the population.
Direct call in, and open forum discussion via caller show after the broadcast. Than again the local paper here has never covered the meetings with any interest.
If there is anything of interest you hear it through the grapevine while walking downtown.
I should pay for news when I can find it anywhere I want for free? If 'content' is going to be premium, it needs to be something that I can't find anywhere else. The general problem for these news sites is you can find it somewhere else.
Pretty much my thought, how many areas are still using turn of the century copper for their DSL lines? My area in Ontario(Cdn) is, plenty of places in the UK and US as well. The only time there's even a replacement is when the line itself fails and breaks.
You'll see an election in Sept. or so when the economy is really in the toilet. And the Liberals will jump all over passing this. I'm willing to take bets on this now.

When you cut down a tree in North America for harvesting, you plant two. Funny ain't it?

Kill more trees. Our forestry industry needs it. Next person that tells me that we're deforesting North America I'm going to smack in the forehead.

Too bad mass douchebaggery using antibacterial 'everything' is happily killing the wrong stuff, and making super bugs of everything else.
I'll be happy to jam a "I told you so." down your throat too.

I get that on my local access TV station(on basic cable), and can also walk down to my city hall and get the minutes and full transcripts for free.
