"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." Revelation 13:16-18
Just make the ballot a list of offices. Every vote is a write in. Other than the Presidency, most voters would simply disenfranchise themselves. If you can't learn enough about the process to be able to correctly spell your own candidates name...you obviously don't care and aren't paying the least bit of attention. The only thing you are qualified to vote for is American Idol, and your vote should have exactly that much impact on my life.
So the law should be based upon what you have personal sympathies for? I take it you don't have a problem with that? You don't see how that could go wrong?
Have you seen the reactions of "celebrities" who have pissed off the cameramen for one reason or another, and then the flashes stop? No paparazzi means no limelight means the phone stops ringing means the celebrity isn't working. The next thing the women celebrities will do is show up at a nightclub in a short skirt and no underwear to give everyone a picture. The guys will be sure to be seen leaving the nightclub with some rank whore.
Tell us again how Russell and Britney would entertain all of the skulls of mush that are entertain by such flatulence if the paparazzi aren't there taking pictures of there ludicrously excessive lifestyles?
And if you do ride, you will have to sit way to close to the bum that hasn't unzipped to urinate in weeks, the two teenagers that can't afford a hotel room, the cell-phone bound single mom that doesn't understand that I don't want to play with the unwashed heathen even if it wasn't still carrying its breakfast all over its face, and the weird ugly dude that keeps trying to get the attention of my wife and obviously has a genital rash from the position of his hands.
The picture of the entrance in the article shows two holes. They're using two TBMs. Maybe the plan is to run both all the way through and save the cutter head?
That is where the government decides that a weed that plagues the Potomac river (which runs through our Capital), and is useful for making rope is declared illegal. At that point, newspapermen get to write fictional, but sensational stories to sell newspapers, and policemen get to assault blacks, mexicans, poor southerners, and anyone else they decide they don't like. In return, the federal government collects vast sums of money and uses it to buy military type gear for the yahoo commando wannabees...er...I mean the "local police task force". The privatized jails are then filled to overflowing with "criminals", who were caught relaxing with a joint. Money flows all around, the sheeple feel "safe", and the politicians take credit for saving the world from itself.
You should really get your countrymen to give it a go. It's great fun really.
For me, the killer app was a hemisphere of sectional maps, airport directory, notepad, mp3 player, audio book reader, email client, pdf reader and engine monitor all in the format of a pilot's kneepad.
Mr. Jittles, Slashdot is read and posted to globally. Please refrain from assuming that the rules followed in your mom's basement apply to the entire world. They don't even apply to many of the states within your own country.
For instance, in North Carolina, unless it is an accident that totals a vehicle or there is an injury, it is best for the parties to agree who is at fault and for that person to pay for repairs. I have had the person just buy replacement parts for minor incidents and installed them myself. A couple of other times, I've had them pay the body shop. The reason is that a single accident can double your insurance for three years, and with my son being a new driver it is already at $2000.
However, if you leave and accident without making suitable arrangements, it becomes a hit-and-run, and your ass will go to jail if they ever make an attempt to find you.
Tell that to the young lady in Oklahoma that spent 30min on the phone with 911, hidden behind a couch, before dropping the assailant that was trying (and, to his chagrin, eventually succeed) to break through her door.
When a robber confronts someone with a gun it is a big news story, usually because the robber sues the victim and wins.
The legislature in North Carolina fixed this recently, over the veto of the crazy-ass bitch in the Governor's mansion that went on record saying that we should postpone elections.
That is why I like my shotgun. Racking it is a very noisy operation, and a very distinctive sound. Mine holds 6 rounds, and I would feel comfortable with throwing three on the ground to make sure the perpetrator actually hears it. If he/she persists, I'd have to considered them out of their damn minds, and would be very afraid for myself and my family if I didn't drop them on the spot.
My full expectation though, is that on hearing the first racking they'll scream "Oh! HELL!" and run like the scoundrels they are, and then I call the police. I'm ok with that outcome.
There are other reasons for which the statistics are meaningless, and don't say anything about the utility of gun ownership. What would the numbers be if we were all disarmed sheep like Hollanders?
The statistic you quote has nothing to do with how well guns are protecting anyone. The numbers you want are the answer to the question, "How many thefts are prevented by pistols in nightstands?"
The stats you quote could all be from homes without nightstands.
But, it doesn't stop at the iPad. Once law enforcement breaks down and criminals can act with impunity, it immediately becomes survival of the most brazen and well armed. The only throttle is to temper the brazeness.
If the companies that have something I like can find me and tell me about it, what exactly is the harm done? If companies that don't have anything I like leave me the hell alone, because they don't want to waste their advertising budget irritating people, what exactly is the harm done? Having the government sniffing up everyone's skirt, trying to enforce one fine or another is a different matter, but that is more an argument to reduce government intrusion that for this whole "I'VE GOT TO HIDE!!" mentality.
I guess my question really boils down to why are we hiding, and from whom?
How does the percentage of the payout to the purchase change how much your privacy is worth? As I understand what you wrote, you'll sell your data for $0.65 if you're buying something for a dollar. But you'll want much more if you're buying something expensive. Why does the cost of the item change the worth of your personal data?
It's worth a hour. But if you don't want to watch it fine. Just don't expect your comments to be worth anything if you haven't done your homework.
I'd like to have my hour back actually.
He said we need to push testing closer to the developer. His algorithm example was simply an demonstration of doing unit tests in real time. It's a good concept, suitable for developing small algorithms, but breaks down quickly once you hit a million lines of code, or have to work with large datasets.

No that was funny right thar. I don't care who your are.
Git 'er done!

Funny how that works.
Well...there is such a thing as felony littering.

The crimes they commit there tend to kill people in other countries, so they don't count them against Capital Hill.
