I dunno, how about lowering the overall costs of health insurance so that people don't get reamed up the ass for a simple checkup if they don't have insurance to "negotiate" the prices back down to a reasonable level? That in of itself makes it practically impossible for anyone to pay for their own health care.
I dunno, why not lobby against such laws so they can legally sell it like everyone else does instead of making someone jump through hoops. A breathalyzer test for buying alcohol? What exactly does this mean? What happens if you fail? Do the records get stored somewhere attached to your drivers license ID and if you fail do you get arrested as it notifies the local police that you're probably drunk driving home?
but i thought lying under oath or to a federal agent is against the law and people have been prosecuted exactly for that, but the same isn't applied when they lie?
you have more of a chance of getting skin cancer from the sun, driving your car to work, getting heart disease (especially if you're an american), getting lung cancer, even getting lupus and in all of these things which has a greater risk of dying we don't ask the gov't for protection nor is your chance of getting irradiated and or groped/sexually molested a part of the risks involved. Take your unreasonable fears and live in a cave deep underground to protect you from the danger called life.
You put 6 of them lines up in a row, constantly emitting xrays, your going to have some interesting effects on the TSA agents who are there working 6-8 hour shifts around these machines.
i can see headlines 5 years from now: Frequent flyers statistically have higher infertility rates. Federal Gov't passes the TSA can do no wrong preventing any lawsuits for any wrong doing.
obviously the solution is to develop plants that convert sunlight into hydrocarbons. Where's a start up that wants funding for that research? Queue up a slashdot advertisement in 3 - 2 - 1
That should secretly set the difficulty to "ultra hard mode" and enable the webcam. You'll have to publish the game out of a school district though, thus avoiding all legal responsibility for the pictures.
Unless you can prove intent to look at nekkid pictures of teens, you can't get a sex crime conviction. As with most cases involving school authorities, the "too stupid to know better" defense prevails. Seriously, most of these people know little more than the kids they are entrusted to teach, and some of them know less.
So now you have to prove intent? I thought possession was more then enough to convict someone especially when they took said photos. And this "too stupid to know better" defense does not work for anyone else, it certainly shouldn't work for anyone.
Does this mean you dont mind paying the entire fire department tax bill for your city? Because if you allow people to not pay for the service, yet use it when needed, that is what you will get. No one will pay for the service, and everyone will use it.
This guy got what he deserved.
I do think it would have been nice to offer him a one time service for say $10k though.
Emergency services are not optional. If your municipality doesn't have them, then you know for sure you can't call fire/police to help you when you need it. If a fire department is starting a racket to service an area outside their jurisdiction that is a problem. They shouldn't be allowed to offer optional service to a select few who pay their fee. You pay them indirectly through something called taxes. That's how the system works. The fact that they were out there watching it burn makes it worse. That would be akin to calling police when you get into a car accident when your on vacation and having no response from the police because your not a local who pays their fees.
Because no one would pay the fee unless their house was on fire. It costs far more than $75 to put out the fire. This person does not live in the coverage area for this fire department. The department is nice enough to extend service to these people outside their area if they choose to "subscribe". This person didn't subscribe so they don't get the service. It's a simple concept.
Fire dept and police department services are NOT optional. This isn't a cell phone subscription or some opt in bullshit. These are required services needed to live.
Volunteer fire department not doing their jobs because someone didn't pay for their booze bill. He should sue every single one of them for negligence. Not only that, but this "fee" they were trying to get probably isn't widely known as something you need to pay to get service.

Most awesome! May I also subscribe, multiple times, to your newsletter?
newsletter era forecasted to end in 18 mins. You heard it here first.
Quick! pick up the red emergency phone and dial the 16 year old 3l33t hax0r general in charge so he can fire the scripts! For great lols!

what if the person who frisks you is irradiated from countless of hours near a xray emitter?
Hold on a second sir. Let me put on my priest robes...
One thing i want to check is this:
I saw some images of people being scanned by backscatter machines http://www.chicagotribune.com/travel/ktla-naked-images-leaked-online,0,4426956.story
Some of the images were taken as people were approaching the machines which could mean that they're emitting radiation constantly.
You put 6 of them lines up in a row, constantly emitting xrays, your going to have some interesting effects on the TSA agents who are there working 6-8 hour shifts around these machines.
Can't wait to see the cancer rates.
well if the bacteria live in the deep crust of the earth, they'll love global warming and be able to produce even that much faster!
Obviously since it was a business course, everyone who didn't admit to cheating is also a liar and should be flunked out immediately.
i can see headlines 5 years from now:

Aren't there laws about bringing cameras into the theater? Do they leave out theater employees? If not, i smell a law suit! To the class action cave!

But do they have battletoads?
No seriously, ever play that game? It's rage inducing. Did i think it was a good game? Fuck no, it was a piece of shit.
To summarize, difficulty != Fun
Wanna do something hard? Do something outside of video games.
That should secretly set the difficulty to "ultra hard mode" and enable the webcam. You'll have to publish the game out of a school district though, thus avoiding all legal responsibility for the pictures.
So what law have you successfully gotten repealed? Working hard on that DMCA? Wiretap immunity? Patriot act? etc?
Yeah thought so. It's so easy to say you have a defeatist attitude smugly. It's more of a realistic view of things.
Yup. Drive up to a school, now it becomes CP View, for your protection.
I think we need a new meme, "Think of the points!", this can be applied to every inappropriate thought regarding real life and video games.
Just point the LHC at it and poof, asteroid immediately gone when it entered the event horizon of a miniature black hole that was created.

who got sacked for doing this? Who's going to jail? who's being charged with pedophilia? Who's on the sex crime watch list because of this?
Because if the answer is no one then justice was not served and no one learned any lessons 'Cept that Lawyers charge a lot for their services.
