I'm as pro-green energy as anyone, but the chart here looks completely absurd. Nuclear has quadrupled in price in a few years? Even ignoring the trend lines, how on earth does nuclear go from 8c/kWh to 22 from 2005 to 2010? A jump like that can't be assumed to be a trend, surely.
I wouldn't mind letting people continue in this sort of stupidity except that it causes direct harm to others beyond the ones engaging in the stupidity.
Me deciding who I let into my private property and what forms I make the property into causes direct harm to others? (and please don't resort to silly "if you make your property into the form of a gun and shoot me, yeah, it harms me" because that's not what we're talking about here)
But why? They aren't forcing anything on you; you're free to avoid visiting their site. What justifies using the force of law against them to do what you consider reasonable?
I'm saying that rolling stops for stops signs (ie you get to the stop sign, make sure nothing is coming and continue on before your vehicle has come to a complete stop) aren't a big deal.
In other words, you don't consider it a big deal to treat stop signs as yield signs.
Or should someone be excluded from paying bills online because they happen to be disabled?
The profit to be made from making bill-paying disabled-accessible far outweighs the cost of implementing it, therefore any sane business will do so. It doesn't need the force of law to make it happen. Note I'm talking about private entities here; the government of course has no profit motive, so by all means, craft regulations for government websites, as it's the only way to give them feedback they can't ignore.
Hi, I am a cyclist. I would like to sue all the places I regularly shop that don't have a bicycle rack easily accessible in front of the store. Sometimes I'm reduced to chaining my bicycle to the pole on a parking sign, made to lose my dignity. It should be illegal not to have a decent bike rack in front of a store.
This is amazing news! The impact that this will have for individuals with disabilities cannot be expressed.
It'll be great for those it benefits, but what about the further infringement on the right of a person to put what they please on their own website? If they don't cater to a particular audience, that audience doesn't have to visit the site. Not that this is specific to this aspect of the ADA; the same applies to brick-and-mortar stores as well. What gives anyone the right to use legal force against a business owner who doesn't configure his property so that it caters to particular people?
It will be a great day that I can view a website and not suffer an adverse reaction to all the Flash content. Symptoms include confusion and rage at the creator of the site.
Yeah, vectors to RAM addresses, having to use Y for indexing. The cycle count was one greater than normal indexing, pretty good. Wait, what were we talking about again?
You joke, but it's exactly true. If you commit a crime, you only have your own resources and power to carry it out. But if you get the state to do the work for you, then you have virtually unlimited power. The more you can have laws made which restrict the free market, the more power you have against the other guy (sure, the other guy might be able to wield said power, but if you got the laws made the right way, you will have better control of their power).
I figured out a cool way you can experience this in your own home! All you need is a screwdriver (flathead) and a microwave oven. The screwdriver is for pressing the door-closed switch while you have the door open. I'm about to go try...
The founder of Chatroulette has announced the company has hired developers to collect IP addresses and take screenshots of those users breaking the rules.
And then what?
Then apparently they'll have no users. Would be simpler to just pull the plug, I think.
Loyalty would be buying a newer model of the same phone even if it was terrible. Simply liking the phone would be buying the newer model if you liked the current one. Is this really about loyalty, or simply them liking the phone? I mean, almost everything I buy regularly I buy the same brand each time, but it's not because I'm loyal, I just like those products (and don't hesitate to switch brands if they screw a product up).
(Flash demo from one of the banks; manufacturer's website). Trojan horses that were planted onto the victims' computers would generate a fake error message and request that the victim re-enter the authorization code.
That's an excellent Flash demo. For some reason it asked for my account number and password. It's on a safe site so I went ahead and entered it, but it gave some kind of error.
I took the "article" to be comparing Japanese web page design to other stereotypical simple Japanese designs, rather than websites for the same services in other countries.

Do not look into Virtual Boy with remaining green/blue vision.
In other words, you don't consider it a big deal to treat stop signs as yield signs.
And when it's time to change the oil, Hello Kitty has that covered too.

Yeah, I wish there were a way to deal with all the crappy aspects of Flash. I mean, besides just deleting the POS. Hmmm, that's not such a bad idea...
Don't forget the Nintendo 64!

Which is exactly why one who is informed should not try to avoid being put on a jury.

Yours isn't a paradox; it simply explains why we haven't seen signs of other life.

How about just using English in the first place?
Why your contempt for juries? It's the last line of civil defense against unjust laws.
