What also is very funny is to dress up some 1.90m guys as gangmembers and have them appear on the middle of the day, right at the moment you're about to do whatever. At that moment they start shooting (blanks, but you don't know that). they're all around you and you have nowhere to hide.
Now picture yourselve. How scared wil you be and, knowing in advance they use blanks, how much will the audience laugh!
And the irony of it all is your friends thought it would be funny and signed you up for the show!!! And in the contract is a part that states that for whatever reason YOU don't agree to have the show aired, THEY have to pay the expenses.
It's just how television works. And actually it's f*ck*ng not funny at all people are watching those kind of shows. (Jerry, Jerry!!!)
You're right, but watch the movie "das Experiment". It's about an experiment where people are placed in a situation where they have power. It turned out that (some) people will abuse their power.
I'm no scientist in this field, but the assumption that this kind of processes can happen in organisatons ins't a strange one I'd say.
Think about the CIA and their involvement in drug / assasinations. Those are rather dubious activities which weren't in the original plan (AFAIK).
I can't proove this is happening. I'm afraid it's happening or will happen. For instance the idea that a governemental institution can wiretap etc people without courtorder is a development that worries me. On one hand it creates the opportunity to prevent crimes (of different magnitudes). On the other hand innocent people are investigated and even arrested without real threat.
That's what i thought at first, but the article stated "but despite the high charge, the electrical load on the battery is no more than that caused by starting the engine on a cold morning", so i guess it will recharch rather fast.
But the idea of overloading the capacitor or repeatedly uncharching it or maybe even connecting it to the outer hull (which is grounded) permanently seems a logical approach to own that system.
my original point would have been wrong if i had made teh difference between criminal cases and civil cases. but i didn't.
for someone who doesn't inderstand the underlaying ideas is't strange to see the contradiction. it's just an observation, no insult or whatsoever was meant.
AFAIK the best temp to make coffee to extract the aroma etc is about 80C fot tea it's even hotter. that doesn't mean of course you have to zerve it at that temperature.
AFAIK lids now have the text 'hot' on them. (as a result?)
If mc donalds knew about the injuries they should have done something about it. (just like the generalmotors case.)
moreover i think (and this is beyond the duscussion) having diner while driving is just as unsafe as calling in cars or preparing a meeting and shouldn't be done.
Double DUH! 1. Who doesn't know coffee is served hot? (if it's served cold people wil start to complain, you know) 2. Who doesn't know hot substances can cause burns?
BTW. You can have an apple and an orange if you want.
I'm sorry you spilled coffee and got burnmarks, but that kind of accidente HAPPEN when you're young.
Then there is the dog-microwave story. you shouldn't put animals in ovens to dry them in the first place.
Where does the world go when stupidity is rewarded by the legal system?
And to stick with the subject: if america is a nation under god, then follow his word, thou shalt not kill, but instead there are whatever excuses to have a deathpenalty.
hey smart-ass. did I mention civil cases? nope. i mentioned "sane courts and legal systems".
and is a civil case (jane doe vs mc donalds over hot coffee) results in a fils of XX milion dollars that system is sick aswell.
why? because every moron should know hot coffee is hot. it's supposed to be that way. and if you don't onderstand that you should get locked up, not rewared.
quote: They problem is not that they GET them. The problem only occurs if they can actually ENFORCE them. Which, in any sane court (yes, I know those are in dwindling numbers these days) won't happen.
In that God-(thou shalt not kill)-loving country there is institutionalised murder / execution / whatever, called deathpenalty.
so now let's talk about sane courts and legal systems again...
How many viruswriters / hackers continue writing viruses / hacking after they got caught, convicted, served time and were released? How many viruswriters / hackers get job in the computersecurity industry and thus contribute to society?
How many murderers continue murdering after they got caught, convicted, served time and were released? How many murderers get a job with the police / FBI and thus contribute to society?
"If you recall, Schmeiser claims (and research supports) that Roundup Ready canola seeds infected his own crops. Monsanto prosecuted him for patent infringement."
I'd say countersue. Now lemme think. Trespassing, pollution, garden disturbance. (ok, I only read part of the article)
If: - Google has the philosophy that they would encourage websites NOT to use spyware (like $@#)(*-gain) - Google has the philosophy that racism is bad - etc etc
Who is going to stop them from not listing that kind of sites?
Yes. There is a cry for regulation and legislation. Just only think about spam.
and on the other hand: who forbids you to write your own application to communicate? eg write your own private VoIP server. Friends only, ssl, safe from tapping.
Slashdot Mirror
As off jan 1st 2005 we also will have a law like that.
:( :( :(
You don't have to carry your id, but you must be able to show some id at once. (weired)
it sucks. especially since i don't see the purpose. let's say i'm a.. terrorist. Suuuuure I will carry my real id. so here it doesn't help.
btw : the police aren't allowed to ask for the id just to check if people carry an id. they can only ask for it if it serves the situation.
so holland is also fucked by a paranoid government.
This really was such a not usefull contribution. Really thank you for your thoughts. -NOT-
Perhaps, if you don't understand the problem behind the question, better withhold your sleve from reacting.
OTHO the last part could be intetresting, but that's an obvious 'solution'.
I wonder why you reacted like this to a question that addresses a serious problem.

Namely keeping records of their civilians.
Stasi (former Eastern Germany) / Gestapo (former 3rd Reich)
Of course all in the name of security.
Do not answer calls from people you don't know. :D
I've had that same problem with my win98 box when I put in the 20GB drive...
Now it's my 486 server. runs like a baby in a ferrari
ajar

Anyway, it sure is an inventive defence.
Let's suppose the computers onboard have an internet connection.
In that case sending a *PING* to locate the ship gets a whole new meaning.
The only F-keys i use in windows are F1, F2 and F5. ;)
Under Linux this is a whole different story. But mainly because i'm lazy and use mc
(Oh, WordPerfect!! : Shift F7, 6)
But are there orher interesting uses for the F-keys or should they go aswell?
You could just aswell use F1 -> F12 for that.
my original point would have been wrong if i had made teh difference between criminal cases and civil cases. but i didn't.

Sounds like the playstation-model.
Sell the console under the price and make the [profit from the games.
There is only one thing I think about.
Hack Furby, TiVo extentions, Linux on a playstation etc etc.
And there is 'free' software.
This is probably where DRM enters the stage...
Colossus: The Forbin Project - a very very very nice movie and story. even now.
4. PROFIT!!! Ehm. no.
No. They require twice the amount of memory and processingpower.

Come to think of it..
How many friends do I have in the US?
Hmmmmm. None. Ok. And where does the majority from the spam come from? There you have it.
My spam solution is to bounce ALL mail from the US.
Sorry guys...
Should that be regulated too?
Yes. There is a cry for regulation and legislation. Just only think about spam.
and on the other hand: who forbids you to write your own application to communicate? eg write your own private VoIP server. Friends only, ssl, safe from tapping.
Just a thought...
