Another good fix would be to just make our lawmakers spend 95% of their time in their home state. Turn Congress into a telecommute. This would have the two-fold effect of a.) making it easier for them to be petitioned by their local constituents & b.) greatly increasing the cost of companies to lobby them since they aren't all piled up in DC like fish in a barrel.
Now, if you didn't know the address thing, and you gave an address different than your license, you'd be cited for the infraction. That's one of those harms in talking to them.
I'm having a really hard time believing this part seeing as I have my P.O. Box listed on my drivers license. Pretty sure I can't fit inside it.
Funny how where I am at in Florida, we've just recently gotten out of drought conditions that have lasted about 10 years. Florida does have a *fresh* water shortage & it's 90% due to rapacious corporations & shitty politicians.
It will allow users to personally thank those non-gun owners (and businesses) for their thoughtfulness toward others and their pacifist approach toward dealing with an increasingly dangerous and violent world.
I understand your sentiment, but it's really a much less dangerous & violent world than compared to even 10 years ago.
This is worse. At least the latter were proven to be sex offenders in court (flawed as the process may be) according to the summary, no actual proof is needed to end up on the map.
Great point. So how long do you think it will take for the 5 million plus NRA members to make this dataset completely useless once they are aware of it as a group?
I have an OUYA, the "Kickstarter" edition. Got it about 2 & 1/2 weeks ago now I like it. The kids really like it. It does pretty much exactly what I wanted it to do. I have 0 problems with the wifi & the only issue I have with the controllers is that the touchpad needs work. Wired Xbox 360 controllers work well. I haven't tried pairing the Wii controllers yet, but I should be able to. I've bought two games (BombSquad & Ice Rage) cause the kids loved the demos. Stalagflight is simple but fun. Canabalt has laggy input which makes it difficult to time jumps. XBMC works well even in beta, but you may want to hook a keyboard up for the initial setup. Most of the emulators are well done but I wish they had more output filters.
I've tried side loading basically all of the Humble Bundle Android games. If they are made to work with a controller, they work well. The rest of them, not so much. Aquaria is as just as responsive as any PS2 title, so I'm thinking a lot of the current controller issues are with the games themselves & not the hardware. F-Droid has a quite a bit of GPL software & games that will run on the OUYA. Frozen Bubble works great.
So far the Wii U is strictly for gaming & Netflix. We don't use the Mii chat or the TVii functionality at all. I've done a little light web-browsing on it as well & they really should give the browser more love as well as WebGL compatibility. We've also played a D&D session on it via Roll20, but it's really only usable for displaying the map. The Wii U makes for a crappy media center as I have no idea how you'd go about setting it up as one. If it's possible to do so it's very not obvious. I imagine the Xbox 360 would be much better, but we don't actually use it as such because:
1.) We had an Apple TV 1st. 2.) Running the media center extensions basically makes whatever Windows PC / laptop they are on useless for normal computing. It stays @ 50 - 75% utilization constantly.
TL;DR, the Xbox 360 is a Halo & Tekken machine, not used for anything else at all even though I did try to use it as a media center for the kids. I may get a separate PC just to serve up files for that purpose in the future.
When the kids aren't playing emulators on the OUYA, they are playing BombSquad, Ice Rage, Stalagflight & Canabalt. They actually like BombSquad enough that they broke out their piggy banks & gave me money to buy it for them as soon as the trial was up. They are also playing Chronoblade, but not as much as the previous games or emulators. Personally, apart from the shoddy touchpad on the OUYA controllers I'm very happy with the system. I'm hoping the issues with the touchpads are something that can be fixed in software.
>I hope that "android" consoles become popular (and that it will not end up with Google doing exactly the same thing M$ is doing....
I'm sure it's party due to the newness factor, but my kids haven't turned on the Wii U (aside from Netflix) or Xbox 360 since I brought the OUYA home last Thursday.
That would be because it's a list of GIS software I've actually heard of & used before. That being said, I just got it installed because a previous post mentioned it as well.

MS has been a copycat for decades. Now they are copying the KLF .
Glen Beck, is that you? ;D
No lawyer needed in small claims court.
I didn't know that. Of course not all Wii's are backwards compatible with the GameCube. Our 1st one (white) was, the 2nd one (blue) wasn't.
True, but the TurboGrafix didn't have the Mario/Samus/Link triumvirate of printing money.
And there are exactly 2 games on there that they'd be interested in. Nintendoland is a much better return on interest in that respect.
The only thing special about the Wii U is the controller has a screen.
Actually, the 5 player same-console multiplayer is pretty nice too when you have a lot of kids (or kid's friends).
Yeah, all 10000 of them, you fucking dumbass.
If you are going to be a bigot why not just use the preferred bigot Sand N-word nomenclature?
Why be a bigot and then water down your hate?

Ditto, great album. King of Limbs was just as good if not better.
Yup, he's a total scumbag.

I played some River City Ransom with the kids last weekend. Good times.
The OUYA runs the Android versions of GTA: III & GTA: Vice City just fine.

Your list omits Quantum GIS (qgis).
That would be because it's a list of GIS software I've actually heard of & used before. That being said, I just got it installed because a previous post mentioned it as well.
Microstation does GIS? Yikes.
Bentley does industry specialized GIS over Microstation. Every one I've ever used has been a crap-fest..
