Law enforcement always want to see ID and vehicle registration when they pull a vehicle over. 1. This is the exchange for driving on governement-owned roads. 2. They need a valid reason to pull you over.
Many court houses, executive, and congressional building instituted ID checks after 9/11. Which buildings or parts of buildings? That makes a big difference. The company I work for won't let you into their office buildings without a company badge, unless you have photo ID (and an employee escort for visitors). Why should government office buildings be any different?
Court houses is sketchy for required photo ID to get into the building, but I can see particular court rooms requiring it depending upon the case.
Hell, I stopped playing Battlefield 2 after they released the version 1.12 patch because it suddenly caused a memory leak on my computer.... But I quit playing, because I have standards. I am NOT going to upgrade to 2GB RAM just to "fix" THEIR problem.
Ummm.. then re-install and only upgrade to the previous patch? That's what I've done in the past. It's really not that hard.
I had no idea that Kevin Mitnick was convicted of a crime called "Fraudster". Yes, just like Microsoft was convicted of a crime called "monopolists" *sigh*
Stories always say "Manchester" or "Belfast" or "Edinburgh." When was the last time you saw "Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK, Europe?"
I guess the main difference is that Minnesota is 225,365 km and the UK is 244,820 km. So, if you simply said Edinburgh, UK then you would have the same general area to go and look on a map as if you were told Minnesota. Besides, the smaller the town the more information you should provide. Especially if the article talks about path of travel (even if it's the path of a Neutrino).
if you stick a monitor on your lawn with 24x7 porn playing on it, the community has a right to restict you from doing so.
Or, to take something that's happening and some places are starting to legistlate, if you decide to play porn on the DVD player in your car (which can be seen from other vehicles).
It is used that way, of course. But last *I* checked, there are no riots going on because somebody dared draw a cartoon Jesus with a bomb for a hat. Dozens of people are not dead because of said cartoon.
A local college printed a cartoon of Jesus wearing a suicide-bomber belt. The local news was covering it with all of modern-media's hush-breathed over-hype. The only guy they seemed to be able to find to talk about how offensive it was Muslim (Jesus is considered to be a prophet by Islam).
Although this is widely believed, it is not true. Placement is absolutely crucial to nuclear weapon effectiveness.... at causing damage. At causing fear and terror it's less important, you only need to get close.
they don't pay you for your blood in the uk, its called a donation
In the US, we have a choice. You can go to the Red Cross (or some other local non-profit org) and donate your blood. You can also find places that will pay you for your plasma.
He decided he would turn the heat OFF, but he lived in an apartment building, so he could get away with that. Apparently, the building wasn't insulated well at all. He dropped some ice cream on the kitchen floor and, instead of picking it up right away, he figured he'd wait until it melted and then clean it up. Anyways, the next day he went to clean it up and it was STILL frozen solid on his floor!
I lived in an apartment once that was above a bunch of people from a warmer climate. I didn't need to use the heat, because they had theirs on full blast all day and night. The heat from below would heat my apartment too!
There was never a booming farm community on Greenland. I guess you think the vikings was farming there, but this is a myth that not even the vikings believed.
Tell that to the archeologists who've dug up the remains of the farms on Greenland.
What matters in science is majority opinion. Which is one of science's major faults: it can come down to a popularity contest (how many scientific theorys were ridiculed for long periods of time before finally being accepted).
We have already warmed way beyond the temperature at the start of the little ice age, and even beyond that of the medieval warm period before that.
Well, considering that the second part of that sentence is pure bunk (we're still colder now than at the high point of the MWP), maybe you should check out more recent surveys of MWP climate data. Your post is so full of unscientific bunk, it's funny that you're trying to point out problems with the parent post. I'd love for you to go and point to a site with actual data to back up every 'fact' that you posted.
What I told them is the tale of the NN processing bits, I told them "do you remember a long time ago, when machines used Windows 3.1, well, when you changed from that to Windows 95, you used a machine that was 32 bits, instead of 16 bits. Well, that was in 1995! now AMD has new processors which are 64 bits, thus can use Windows XP 64 instead of the normal Windows XP which is still 32 bits!".
Did you tell them that they were probably running Win3.1 (a 16 bit OS) on a 32-bit computer (386DX or 486)? Or that Win95 was only 'mostly' 32-bit? Or that you were telling them at 64-bits would make everything better and faster when it probably doesn't? Please, don't lie to your customers. If you want them to switch from AMD to Intel, give them good reasons.
Oh, and don't forget that Intel sells 64-bit P4s too. You did add that, right? That the 64-bit P4 is just as 64-bit as Athalon64 is? Just asking.
Dynamic. For those of us that type in 3 different alphabets it'd be great (especially when trying to learn the key combos for different accents).

It's foolish to try to run a shop without spare parts on hand, especially for anything remotely critical.
Spare parts? How about spare systems. I tried at my last job to get them to buy a backup server. Nothing happened while I was there, but we began to use it more and more... it scared me that it would just up and die some day. Sure, we could get our hands on spare parts quick, but not quick enough IMHO.
As the internet gets better, and as the laptop gets faster, we end up doing more and more on the laptop. My work computer is a laptop, no desktops around. Why wouldn't we want better laptops?

Fetus != human
So, there's some sort of change in the DNA when someone is born that makes them human?
Legally, in the US, fetus != person, but biologically fetus = human. We've just legally determined some humans aren't persons.
RPM is non interactive which means an RPM can't ask any question about how to resolve an issue APT is interactive
APT is a program which was originally designed to handle the Debian packaging format.
RPM is a packaging format.
There is APT-RPM out there, which lets you use APT to handle RPM files.

There have yet to be riots and death threats.

"Core Solo|Duo" is just what Intel calls their single, dual core processors now
And the story couldn't even get the name right. It's "Core Duo" while the story had "Duo Core."

Except now there's scientific evidence to base the suit on
Courts care more about precedence than evidence.
I'm fascinated why anyone considers her more compelling or important than say, Madonna, Prince Charles, or Winnie the Pooh?
consider her less compelling than the first two, but the last one is much more interesting to me.

Intel CPUs (x86) cannot truly address as much memory as 64bit AMD CPUs. Even Intel's 64bit uses a kludge to address greater than 4GB of RAM.
I hate to break it to you, but AMDs and Intel's 64bit solutions for x86 are pretty much the same.
