IANAL, but I am pretty sure that refusing to allow a police officer to search your vehicle is not in and of itself "probable cause". Unless they have another reason beyond your refusal, any search they do is illegal.
Best thing is, they don't just get pistols, they get EVERYTHING, randomly...including flamethrowers and rocket launchers. Fire a gun into a crowded street corner and watch the mayhem...;-D
For more fun, after you arm your pedestrians, enter Down, Up, Left, Up, X, R1, R2, L2, L1 and watch them riot as they all start attacking each other. Or enter Down, Up, Left, Up, X, R1, R2, L1, L2 and see how long you can survive with hordes of heavily armed pedestrians all trying their best to kill you.
I love this game...;-D

My apartment has plenty of outlets (5 in the bedroom alone), and a sound electrical system, but the main issue I notice is with the placement of sockets. Of those five outlets in the bedroom, three are unused, and one is just used for my DSL modem (since it's next to the phone jack). The other one gets to hold all of my primary computer equipment. Out in the living room, one socket has a couple lamps and a cordless phone on it. The other has a TV, VCR, DVD player/home theater system, stereo, computer system, three videogame consoles, and (now) a Christmas tree plugged into it. The problem is that all the electronic stuff gets put in the same part of the room. It'd be nice to have an extra outlet or two along that wall in these rooms...

The article talks about Google's caching of articles that have expired to the NYT archives (which you have to pay to access). What most/. folks use to link to current NYT articles are the Google partner links, which simply bypass the free registration. I'd assume these links only work as long as an article hasn't been archived yet, so the karma whores are safe; I doubt the NYT's Google partner links will be going away any time soon...;)
I never listen to the radio, except when I go to bed late and wake up to my clock radio. I have an MP3-CD player for the car, and MP3s and streaming radio at home.
I just cancelled my cable subscription last month. Well, downgraded to the "basic" package, anyway, since the reception from inside my apartment is horrible. The only thing I watch on TV is NASCAR, and I was tired of paying $50 a month for the few races that weren't on network TV. I do still watch a few good TV shows, but instead of watching on TV, I just download 'em from Kazaa. No commercials, and the quality is usually almost as good on my 17" monitor as it is on my 19" TV with mono sound and an over-compressed AND fuzzy cable signal.
All of 'em, unless you have a fleet of aircraft with you. Aircraft carriers are essentially unarmed, and rely on their aircraft to provide cover for them.
Of course, you could always ram them, but I wouldn't put much money on a WWII-era carrier surviving against a modern supertanker's hull...;)
I think it's because we don't know where to look. Even if these collisions occur all the time in our upper atmosphere, we have no way to predict where one will happen in time to be able to observe it. If scientists control the collisions in an accelerator, however, they will know where to look to observe the results...
Can't speak for the 799 others, but I'd like this. If I could pick up a 48-hour DVD for a few bucks, that'd be a good deal to me. I don't have pay-per-view, I hate making two trips to Blockbuster for a single movie, and Netflix is a bad deal unless you rent at least four or five movies a month. There just aren't that many movies I'd like to see. Plus, since you don't need to have a rental system in place, they could stick these things anywhere: 7-11, grocery stores, Wal-Mart...all places I usually go anyway. I'd love to be able to pick up an occasional movie "rental" when I stop for gas or groceries, without having to worry about returning it by such-and-such a date. It's like DivX without the expensive equipment, the invasive privacy issues, or the hassle. Pretty cool stuff, actually.
And what's with all the yelling about DRM? I hate overly-restrictive DRM as much as anyone, but how is an essentially normal DVD that just stops playing after 48 hours any worse than a normal DVD that you have to give back to Blockbuster tomorrow? DivX, with all its nonstandard technology, "activation" crap, etc. was ugly. But this EZ-D thing you can play in any DVD player, there's no one tracking what you're doing with it...what's the big deal? It's not like these are going to replace real DVDs in the market. This technology is made to target renters, not buyers...
First, time is money. Lost productivity translates into lost money in any business. It may not be much on an individual basis, but taken collectively, on a company-wide, state-wide, country-wide scale, that's a lot of lost time spent deleting Viagra ads.
Second, spam interferes with legitimate Internet traffic, especially email traffic. I work for a web hosting company. Not a month goes by without some idiot client deciding that sending out half a million emails with a script on his virtual hosting account is a brilliant marketing idea. This backs up mail delivery for hundreds of clients, which costs them business, which in turn costs us business when they cancel or move to a different company in a vain attempt to escape the effects of spammers.
Third, spam wastes bandwidth, and that bandwidth costs money. Again, perhaps a relatively small amount next to other types of Internet traffic, but someone has to pay for that bandwidth on the receiving end eventually, and it adds up.
I've always found people talking on cell phones rather irritating. Maybe it's because of the way our brains process auditory data. When two people are having a conversation in person, their speech will follow a general pattern. Maybe they'll take turns speaking, maybe one always interrupts the other, or maybe they both trip on each other's sentences all the time, but there will be a pattern your brain can pick out, and then it can recognize that pattern as unimportant and dismiss it if you're not interested in their conversation. But when a person is talking to a phone, you can't hear the other end of the conversation, so your brain can't pick out the pattern. Instead of a flowing conversation, you've got one person speaking, then silence, then the same person speaking again at some random interval. It's very jarring, especially when people get LOUD as many tend to do on cell phones. Kind of like having a noisy, slow, irregular drip from your bathroom faucet. Because you never quite know when that next "plonk!" is coming, you find yourself anticipating it, and it really messes with your concentration...and of course, when it finally comes, it always makes you jump a little because you can't predict exactly *when* it's coming. In the same way, you can never anticipate when a cell phone user is going to start speaking again, and every time he/she does, it kind of startles you. This makes it harder to tune out cell phone users than it is to tune out a tableful of people chatting with each other...
Very true, and not all us two-finger folks are slow, either. I type two-finger without looking at the keyboard most of the time (once I get "lined up" properly), and can do 50WPM or better if I'm typing stuff out of my own head. Sure, it's not as good as a decent touch typist, but it's not half bad, and since I don't write thousands of lines of code or take dictation for a living, it's plenty for me. Two-finger typing lets me keep my hands in a much more natural position: above the keyboard, fingers curled, wrists almost straight instead of bent outwards and upwards relative to the forearm like a touch typist's. My arm also does much of the work, rather than putting it all on my fingers and tendons in the hand. It does make my arms a little tired if I type for an extended period, but it's much better than chronic wrist pain.;) The only time I get quasi-CTS-like symptoms is when I've been making excessive use of the mouse (damn 8-hour Quake marathons...;-D ). I can type for hours with no similar problems.
Of course, this method of typing means that any funky keyboard is useless to me. Even the curvy egro keyboards are impossible for me to use. As such, I think I'll be sticking to a flat keyboard for some time to come...;)
I do have a cellphone for emergency use. It stays off unless I am making a call, and I never check my voicemail on it, because no one who knows the number calls me, because they know I don't keep it on.
Actually, I probably won't have it much longer; I haven't made a call on it in about six months now, and I'm probably gonna pick up a prepaid cell phone somewhere and lose the monthly fee.
Heh...even better...I'm looking at ads for patent stuff. Well, the text for 'em, at least. Don't know if there are any images that are being blocked.

Heck, 53K is a lot. I've owned my car for over a year and only put 3500K on it. And yes, I do have a full-time job and do drive to work...;) My car had 184K when I bought it. At this rate, it'll take me more than five more years to hit the big 200K mark...;)
Of course, since interstate highways are federal property, I don't suppose there's anything stopping the government from shutting down those portions of the roads that are straight and free of obstructions to use as airstrips in an emergency. But there is no such thing as the "one-mile-in-five" law your friend mentioned.
An active airfield wouldn't have trees close to the runway, but on one that's been abandoned for ten or fifteen years, who knows? If no one is keeping up the property, trees could grow pretty much anywhere. And remember, even if it's abandoned, *someone* still owns it, and could be sued.
Sadly, in this country anymore, it is the case that some racer who hurt himself on someone else's private property could sue the owner for negligence. Heck, if a burglar injures himself trying to break into your house, he can sue you... Pretty ridiculous if you ask me, but that's life in the good 'ol USA for ya...;) Personally, I think that if someone hurts themselves while committing a crime (tresspassing, burglary, or whatever), they shouldn't be able to sue for damages because of their injuries. But that makes far too much sense, and besides, the scumbag lawyers who make their living on these absurd lawsuits would never go along with it...
Unfortunatly, some users whose email addresses are spoofed in this fashion are also too cluless to understand. I can't tell you how many calls and emails we get at work from people about evil hackers breaking into their web hosting account, or how their Unix mail server must be infected with Klez, because they get a bounceback or response to a spam or virus email with their FROM: address... *sigh*
The sad thing is, some of 'em refuse to believe us about what's really happening even after we spend 20 minutes explaining it to them...and others insist that we have to stop whoever is doing it immediatly...;-D
The trouble is, they want the best of both worlds. They want to sell you a "license" for the content, so they can place limitations on the product after you buy it that would be legally unenforceable on a purely physical purchase, but they also want the content tied inexorably to the physical media, so you have to buy a replacement from them when the technology changes or your copy wears out.
As far as I'm concerned, it should be one or the other; either you sold me a physical CD and I can do whatever the hell I want to with it (copy it to another media type, reverse-engineer it, give it to my buddy, etc.), or you sold me a license to use a musical album for personal use that is not bound to any physical media, so that I have the right to a replacement (either obtained any way I please, i.e. copied from a friend's CD, or from the licenser for a nominal fee, nominal meaning the cost of the physical manufacturing and shipping) if my physical copy breaks.
IANAL, but as far as I know, someone has to see you take the items in question from the store *and* walk out with those items without paying for them in order to successfully prosecute you for shoplifting. Just walking out with a bag full of items you already own is not likely to get you convicted (though you may be detained by a suspicious shopkeeper...;) ), even if they are the same kinds of items sold in the store. You don't have to prove you own the items; the store has to prove you stole them, and unless someone (a guard, employee, camera, or another customer) sees you take the item from the store and then walk out without purchasing it, there's not enough evidence.
Unfortunatly, since the BSA is threatening civil suits, not just criminal prosecution, the standards are different as far as who has to supply proof of what. Chances are, you will have to prove ownership (via a license, CD, etc.) of the copies of software you are using in a civil trial, especially if you have entered into an agreement with a BSA member that says you must retain such evidence. Not that I agree with the BSA's tactics, mind you (I think they're overzealous myself), but they have a pretty good chance of winning a civil case against you if you've signed an agreement with them.
