So what you're saying is that it's illegal because they grant you different licenses? That argument doesn't hold up to scrutiny... If they have the freedom to choose what license you have, they could just decide that everyone on the roads is conducting "commerce". Which they are of course, in one form of another. If it's okay to control one form of driver, it's okay to control all of them.
Looking at it from a different viewpoint, your claim would indicate that truck drivers must give up rights in order to drive trucks. I think that's the key point here... Truck drivers have to give up rights, how is it any different for cars? You give up portions of your right against unreasonable search and seizure when you are allowed to drive a several thousand pound vehicle on public roads. You do so in the name of safety. It's a balancing act between privacy and public safety, and in the case of drunk drivers, the courts err on the side of safety. Nothing unconstitutional about it.
How are they technically illegal? IANAL, but I was under the impression that a cop could stop you for any reason they like while on a public roadway. They can't ask you to get out of the car and frisk you, or search your car (without probable cause), but I see no reason why they can't stop you and check your license, registration, and/or sobriety.
They do it to truckers all the time with weigh stations, how are cars any different?
You misunderstand. I'm no expert, but I believe you hash the random string, and see if the result matches the hashed value for the password. If it does, that random string is the password.
Just because you're a nerd doesn't mean you shouldn't care about the goings-on of the world. These days, nerds are involved in the core debates over where our liberties lie, be that in matters of free expression, free beer, free speech, free thought, or the freedom to die.
I used to drive everywhere with my cell phone resting between my thighs... and then one day I thought about it, and decided to start keeping it somewhere else. I don't actually believe the phone was doing any harm, but when it comes to mah nutz, better safe then sorry.
There is a causative link between increased CO2 and planetary warming. The scale of the warming is what is up for debate, not the fact that 'Higher % CO2 --> Greenhouse effect --> Warming'. This cell phone thing is not the same thing at all. There isn't even any shown correlation, nevermind proven causation.
1 Minute of every Cell Phone conversation is equivalent to 1 X-Ray
If this were even remotely true, everyone who uses a cell phone would have cancer.
what they didn't realize was that the effects can carry all the way to the Mic by inductance
Do you even know what 'inductance' means? I don't know why I bother asking, from the way you use it, you obviously don't. What you're looking for might be more akin to coupling, I don't know. Either way, the EM radiating out of the microphone is nowhere near, and not related to, what is coming out of the transmitting antenna.
AMD/ATI support is fine now, but with NVIDIA you're basically guaranteed to stay supported for a long time, since there's quite a large community programming with CUDA on Linux. The only possibility of NVIDIA dropping Linux support is if they sign some sort of deal with MS that makes CUDA exclusive to Windows... Which would make quite a few people in the scientific community shit their pants.
I don't speak Danish, but it looks to me like their parachute system did not deploy properly.
Unless, that is, the rocket was SUPPOSED to plummet back to earth with a shredded ball of silk dangling above it.
It is quite impossible for a computer to tell you what you will find if you dig 7 feet at position X. On the other hand, a computer and a human eye can equally spot abnormalities in an x-ray image of intergalactic space.
That's the dumbest thing I've read in the past week on/. The only difference between your two scenarios is that you don't know of a sensor that can image what is 7 feet under at position X. Obviously you haven't seen Jurassic Park =p.
How does that prove anything, other then that John Money is a psychopath? I guess I should specify, gender may be a 'physical state', in the sense that the brain is a physical object. I meant that gender is not observable (currently anyways). So while you can observe someone's sex, you cannot observe their gender, as it is whatever they think it is.
The notion of gender and gender roles is a societal construct, and purely in the mind. The notion of sex is a physical, observable state.
I see no reason why the two have to match. As for your analogy, it makes no sense. You say race and species, and then say 'antlion'... But regardless it doesn't work, because both race and species are physical things. A more sensible analogy would be between a mental identity and a physical identity. For example, a Christian Dwarf.
Manufacturers are not making new consoles simply because they lose money on each console sold.
They have to recoup those losses through game sales. They clearly have very little incentive to release a new console, since the longer they can keep milking the old ones, the more profitable they become.
The exception is the Wii, which actually was in the black for each unit. Not surprisingly, it seems that Nintendo is going to be the first to release a next-generation console. Hopefully this will force MS/Sony to release new consoles as well to keep up.
Some 47,911 US men were surveyed over the period 1986 to 2008 for the research. During this time some 5,035 of them developed prostate cancer with 642 dying of it.
Woh, the incidence rate of prostate cancer in US men is 1 in 10? Why does the CDC show the rate at more like 150 in 100k? Or did they take some extremely high risk group?
Taxation (and government spending) reduces the amount of investment into the economy because the economy, such as it is, is only a measure of the private sector.
The government is a revolving door though. Any money taken in goes immediately back out into the private sector through government payroll, defense spending, spending on infrastructure and basic science etc etc.
There are only two differences between government spending and private investment. First, everyone has some say in how the money is invested, rather than just the wealthy (to what extent this is true is debate-able, but some-say is better than no-say). Second, government investment is not forced to be profitable, while private investment must be. You can say that this makes it wasteful, but for many things, profit simply isn't possible, or laudible. Infrastructure, education, basic science, health-care, defense, and many more.
So, yes, private sector investment is more efficient, but only in cases where profit is involved. For spending that does not have a short term ROI, the government is required. And again... the money goes right back into the private sector anyways.
There is zero chance. Theres so much electromagnetic radiation flinging through the air anyways, wifi isn't going to make the least bit of difference. If you really think wifi is a risk, then you need to keep your kid in a Faraday cage. Be warned though, I think they send you to jail for that.

Ever been to North Korea? That much worse.

What the world needs is for you to use less commas.
Face in French is generally used to mean "across from", or "facing" when describing locations, as in "en face".

You could just make it a plugin...
IANAL, but I wouldn't be surprised if they could be sued in the US over patent violations of products sold in Europe.

Damn, I don't care if you're American or not, at 320 kilos you shouldn't be going anywhere near that fast.
The exception is the Wii, which actually was in the black for each unit. Not surprisingly, it seems that Nintendo is going to be the first to release a next-generation console. Hopefully this will force MS/Sony to release new consoles as well to keep up.
Yes, it would make much more sense to have 28 days x 13 months. But then we would have 13 months. People just don't seem to like that number.
Must be damned hard to keep track of though.
Wait, people commonly refer to Americans as septic tanks?
