Exactly. Just the other day a woman almost ran me off the road because she was eating chips. The bag of chips was in her left hand, which was also holding the steering wheel. Every time she reached into the bag for another chip, she turned the wheel to the right so she could reach deeper into the bag, causing her to leave her lane. She contined doing this all the way down the road, even after swerving towards several other cars, each of which honked at her. She didn't care that she was driving poorly. I suspect even without the bag of chips, she would have been driving poorly.
Even things that aren't being sold at all. If you grow your own wheat to avoid participating in interstate commerce, you are participating in interstate commerce.
Those people who distract themselves with gadgets and get into accidents are probably the bad drivers who would have managed to get into accidents anyway.
I was hoping I wasn't the only one who had read about similar products, already on the market.
I wonder who the supplier is for NASA's version, and how much more it costs than commercially-available products?
It is literally not possible for a person to know all the laws at a given point in time. How long woudl it take a single person to read through the tax code alone?
So this thing is supposed to simulate some aspect of a brain, and they've so far simulated one small portion of it. I bet I could simulate a simulation^4 of this thing, with a rock.

You gave the nuclear launch codes to G.W. Bush... TWICE !
What makes you think we gave him the launch codes? Those were the codes to his luggage....
Booze induces variable gravity?
If it changes colors, it's a mood rock.
Can they clone an Ironkey?
If the key is as large as the data, it could have been literally anything before encryption.
Or a weak radio signal from the alarm clock installed on the other end of the room. Maybe the presence of your blue-tooth enabled phone?
Possession of a stolen item doesn't require also convicting for theft, does it?
Not just removal from premises, lack of signal/signal interruption.
If something in my diary could be used as evidence against me, is it written testimony?

You mean besides all those communion wafers?

What is the conviction rate in cases Nancy Grace has taken on? I haven't checked the numbers, but I have a suspicion....
Keep it down; if the government finds out you own that model, you might end up at Gitmo.
I think that was the last digital watch I owned, and it was a good watch for that decade I had it.
Clockwise is the way the sky spins when viewed from the south pole?
Just make sure not to share.

They want us to watch only what they feed us. So they would rather be cable television providers/content producers than actual internet providers.

It'll be a standard fee on your bill, within a decade.
But when things explode, that gas expanding and blowing past your ship might make some noise?

Maybe Watson has viewed enough "historical documents" to decide not to show us the ability to pass the Turing test, just yet.
