It's not prohibition of alcohol, sir, it's prohibition of risking the lives of others after you've consumed it. If it was only the drunk that got kill/injured, I'd say drink up and hit the highway... we'd get rid of a bunch of alcoholics that cause all sorts of other problems anyway.
But too often that the drunk lives and someone else is burying their loved one. Nobody says prohibit alcohol... just be responsible enough to stay a way from a two ton kinetic weapon until the stuff is out of your system. If you can't do that, then perhaps alcohol has a bigger hold over you than you'd like to admit.
References aren't proof, they're just citations of other peoples work. If you read and cite 20 crackpot theory books for your article, it's still a crackpot theory.
As often as hurricanes make the news in Florida, over the last 10 years, they've caused me to lose power twice, each time lasting maybe a day. Lightning takes out the power at least 10 times a year, usually lasting 15 minutes to an hour. The latter is easily handled by a UPS.
NO kidding! Half a pound of sodium in the water at a local park and the cop finished watching before coming to tell me 'that was pretty cool, fireworks were not allowed in the park'. Or having a job at 16 at a local sporting goods store where I accepted ammunition in lieu of pay. Weekends during quail season were spent with a bunch of teenagers walking up and down fields shooting with our own shotguns... (not dad's). The trucks in the high school parking lot had gun racks and nobody wigged out if someone forgot and left a gun in one from the weekend. It never crossed anyone's mind to go shoot up our friends. le sigh.
If I'd been prosecuted this way for some of the "experiments" my brothers and I did as teenagers, I'd be doing life.
No kidding. We'd be under the jail. There used to be a time in this great land of ours when kids could play with things like black powder, acetylene, and sodium and all we'd get is a finger wag by the authorities and maybe have to pay for a trash can we would turn inside out.
It's a moot point. According to WUSF, the Tampa NPR station, the FCAT is being replaced with a test shared by a couple dozen other states. This should be happening within the next year or so.
My 4th grader is in the middle of her FCATs now and loves taking tests... but she's always been weird that way:)
This story brought to mind something from The Thirteen Gun Salute from the Aubrey Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian:
Apparently, this was at one time a common method of execution in the Malaysian states...
'Abdul is gruesomely executed in a bizarre sanctioned execution via "peppering," in which a bag of pepper is placed over the head (hands are also bound). The executioners, often the victim's family, then beat the bag, resulting in inhalation of the pepper and painful asphyxiation. '
Some of us mow the lawn to make it look good. If it takes a little longer to leave a nice pattern, that's what headphones and a good collection of MP3s are for.
that's why Steve create Apple-Script and all sort of applications have exposed hooks so that users can script things that just ain't gonna happen in the other camp.
I've just gone to the netflix website and watched from there, although I haven't checked in a while, I was able to launch my netflix account from within boxee.
Fact Check... according to the last census statistics, over an adult's working life, high school graduates can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million; those with a bachelor's degree, $2.1 million; and people with a master's degree, $2.5 million. True, he still won't pay the fine, but 1 Million is not many people's lifetime earnings.

Unfortunately, it's also every other mobile ad or pop-up disguised to look like a dialong box telling them they need to click this or else...
You can, you just need to do in the database... still not something 99% of the users would know how to fix
I watched that again last weekend. It was as painful as I remembered.

Yes, but this is APPLIED SCIENCE

I wonder if they've looked at Kerguelen yet, the undersea map shows a similar shelf.
Expressing ones opinion on the internet is like farting in a hurricane. You may feel better for a moment, but nobody's gonna care.
Point goes to fyngyrz. Even though I personally can't stand the static of HF, the dude speaks true.

I'm sure law enforcement would be happy to have the same tech.
My New New Years tradition will be playing Ingress in downtown Tampa.
Gotta spare up cycles for ingress.
Its not like he killed it to make his quadcopter skin.
Yeah! It's not like he.... uh... so what if he did?
And apparently it comes with monospaced fonts, which is great for those of us who miss teletypes and typewriters.
Fixed that for you. Telegraph operators use handwriting. Teletype was what delivered a printed message with a mono-spaced font.

Think that might have anything to do with the story being in the Sidney Morning Herald?
