So they know what it does now, but not in 50 years? HA! I'm not gonna touch it. Look like a body builder now, 20 years later my heart has my circulatory system running at 120/80... psi. Not gonna do much good when I try to shake my boss' hand and render it down to coal.
We weren't? Then why do we on a regular basis even without medical intervention?
The longer we stick around, the more knowledge and generativity we can give back to humanity helps every one else stick around. That is, every other cave manfigures out that the old cave man must have lived longer because he's the only one to cook his food and not leave it sit in the sun when he stores it. The more social an animal is, the longer it seems to live, because experience wins. The old ones help the young ones.
That doesn't account for personal use outside of driving to work and certainly isnt any easier than a GPS database where highways = $0.003 per mile and cities = $0.005 per mile or something. Plus, it isn't fair. Say I drive 5 miles to work in the city every day. But almost every night, I drive 10 miles on the highway to go to the bar. Under your formula, I'd be taxed unfairly.
Because CSS wasn't a copy control mechanism, it was a CONTENT control mechanism. Since it controlled COPYRIGHTED content, its reverse engineering fell under the DMCA.
Because it costs more to maintain surface roads with active traffic control devices and stop-and-go traffic that leaks fluids everywhere than it does to maintain a limited access highway. People who drive in cities should pay more accordingly.
But it still worked! he failed to recall the nmemonic correctly, but he recalled the information he needed the nmeonic's help to remember.
His teacher used the standard write-the-rules-on-the-board method and then gave a nmemonic to remember it. That gives you just one extra thing (that's worth a lot) to link it to in memory. That's the best way to memorize things, not to sit and read it over and over again, but to give it a relationship to something else in memory.
Next time you get in a wreck and the police have to close the road that the government built and the paramedics have to come because someone dialed the government-run 911 service, I'll call it a waste too.
Just because something isn't useful for you doesn't mean its a waste, you stupid fuck.
Because it's a bus, a big huge chunk of steel with as many people as possible crammed inside? And that perhaps having a policeman and CCTV on board would actually be a GOOD idea? Just because there's a policeman and a camera watching the inside of every bus doesn't mean they're watching your every move.
Diesel engines use MUCH less fuel at idle than gasoline engines do. At idle, a gasoline engine is fully throttled, so it's got to strain itself t opull air through the Idle Air Control valve or idle circuit of the carb. A Diesel engine, however, is not throttled at all, its speed is controlled by the fuel mixture (it doesnt have to be as perfect a mix as gas, because a diesel engine wont asplode from leaning out.)
HD-DVD will REQUIRE user checkout. That is, I can "check it out" to my PC, but I can't copy it from there. I don't see a problem with DRM like that. Keeps an honest man honest, and if I really need to copy a HD-DVD, I'm sure tools for a bit-for-bit copy will appear soon enough.
BluRay, however, makes it OPTIONAL. You might, you might not be able to. Heeey Sony! Fuck off.
Here's something that'll make you feel better too: That digital music player probably has SDMI, so they couldn't say you were pirating, either! I had a MiniDisc player a few years ago. It had a few rules,IIRC: You couldn't copy a stamped MiniDisc. You could only copy a MiniDisc with audio from a TOSLINK (Digital) input once (that is, if you had the original, you could copy it as many times as you wanted, but the copies wouldn't copy), and analog-input recorded MiniDiscs could be copied as many times as you wanted (IIRC. If not, it was the same rules as TOSLINK discs.)
So they get you with DRM one way or another probably. So they can kiss off.
Yes. Fuck em. RIAA continues to sue old women and old men, 12 year olds, and people without computers.
Buy it with whatever store you want. If it doesn't allow you to use it on your player, go to the black market, download an MP3, and say fuck em! If they sue you, look the judge right in the eye, and say it's your right. You bought digital music, it said it would work on your digital music player, and you made it work!
When I go to my mechanic, and he says he's going to charge me $35 for an oil change because prices went up, and he can't do it til next week, fuck 'em, I'll do it myself. Especially if I have to agree that I not use his oil in non approved cars.
Im not so sure about that. I've been visiting the good old eye doctor since an early age because of lazy eye, and various corrections for that. I've been told more than once that overusing your near vision will make you near sighted (hence the need to take a few minutes off every couple hours). Surprise, I'm a nerd and i'm nearsighted.
It's not like gasoline is any safer! It's called GASoline because it gives off flammable gas at relatively low temperature. One spark, you're dead. And the same kid could see what it tasted like and die, too.

Here at PSU, a book request always has your ID number on it - abouit 2 years ago, that was your SSN.
And if that doesn't freak you out bad enough, one look at a female professional bodybuilder will.

Ah, ok. That I did not know. I was only assuming from what logic would assume, but *AA aren't known for their intelligence.

PayPal does it too with their debit cards.

9. Profit! (if your company has less than 10,000 lawyers)
Something tells me the artist doesnt have much say in that, but that giant looming tower of lawyers does.
Couldn't have just put a stop sign up at the intersection for those of us who just barrel through the intersection when the light is unpowered.

HA! No we can't. We gotta go to Canada first and THEN Cuba.
And I didnt even read your whole post. Godwin's Law has been invoked, so fuck off.
If you:
-Operate a motor vehicle
-Take public transit
-Use electricity
-Buy anything, because that store's gonna use electricity
or do anything else like that, I say FUCK OFF!
If you don't like my smoke you had damn well better not pollute MY lungs anymore with YOUR cancerous crap. I'll take my own.

Too late. The navy already gave them lasers.
