Even in the military, there's only limited uses for a HERF gun where keeping the target alive is more important than stopping them. If someone tries driving past checkpoints onto a base, do you want to try to fry a (hopefully unprotected)ECU or use something that will physically prevent any type of vehicle.
Gavin: And they're *bad*! And you know what??? They taught a dog to smoke! Do you believe that?
Mark: Sure, I believe that.
Gavin: Yeah, well it's true! And they taught him to beg for cigarettes! Door to door! So right away when this poor little devil would ring your door bell with his paws, you'd know right away what he wanted! So you'd give him a cigarette, and he'd take it back to these guys that waited by the fence to smoke, and they didn't care who saw them smoke! These guys sure smoked!
Before people start asking "why not impeach bush", think about what that would mean for the next election.
I do not think that word means what you think it means. You have to impeach and convict to get kicked out. Clinton was impeached. Unless Bush really screws up, I'm sure it won't happen because there's 1 year left before elections and I don't think they push for it.
Useless idea. Kids would give their clothes to others to carry for them. Block the RFID if they wanted to go off the grid. Honestly, how long does it take for the regular teacher to run down the names of their students to see if they're there.
If there was a fire, do you want to teachers to manually check each kid got out alive or just rely on a tag in a piece of clothing. A trapped kid's RFID signal may not reach sensors, a kid in gym class would have different clothes on, etc.

Northlake, IL was considered Chicago. Since Northlake, IL is east of West Chicago wouldn't that make it Chicago. j/k The data center at 601 Northwest Ave is only about 2 miles (as a crow flies)from O'Hare, which is Chicago.
You end up with the same problem with renting from Uhaul. Well, we were supposed to have a truck returned, but it hasn't shown up yet. You can wait several hours and hope or drive crosstown where we have one.
I do not see the City Car working in the US. Maybe Japan or Europe. The City Car is a people mover. Zip Car is a different idea that is working (not without complaints) in the US. There are 20 vehicles to choose from. Besides fun cars like convertibles, minis, and BMW, there are a larger vehicles (xB, Element, Escape, supposedly pickups) that would allow you go shopping, maybe pick up some smaller pieces of furniture. I know a couple of people in Chicago without vehicles that occasionally wish they had a vehicle, but can't justify the expense.
In 1986, there was the Yugo GV for $3990. You've seen a ton of them still on the road, because even though they were cheap, they lasted a long time.
The Kia Rio was $6995 in 2000. The price has gone up, but I believe it is a lot more solid now.
C'mon, Honda's smallest scooters run $2000. A brand new ATV will run $2800 min.
It's not the features that cost money, it's the safety, labor, and materials. Long gone are the days, you could design a box on wheels and get Adolf Hitler to back you.
The lottery is set up to be as near random as possible. Why? Because it's already rigged. Depending on the lottery, 60% of the money taken is put back out as prizes. That's 40% for the govt. Also the govt. gets 40% of large prizes like the jackpot in taxes. The House always makes money.
I do find it funny that more people play after it reaches 150 million. It seems like you'd have greater odds of splitting a jackpot due to the increased number of tickets. Maybe it's not significant though.

I haven't watched much Colbert lately, but guests should know what they're getting into. I've seen guests respond to Colbert's off-the-wall comments with wit and humor while still getting their point across. If they think Colbert is just going to give them a straight interview, they're pretty stupid.
I know you're trying to sound tough, but they use ultra-purified capsaicin. The peppers you're talking about range from 50,000 to 350,000 scoville units. I'm sure the capsaicin they're using is somewhere around 16 million.
Sidenote: A lot of pepper spray is rated at 2 million, but some tests I've seen rate that down to about 200,000. Of course, it's still a big dose of it in your eye compared to eating it.
I've worked in retail and been a customer. While a majority is a scam, this is not always the case. CDs and DVDs are pretty good with their anti-theft packaging. Hard drives aren't. A lot of them just have plastic wrap and a seal. Our store had plastic and a heat gun to reseal any damaged packaging.
If you've worked in retail, you would know that not all employees care enough or are smart enough to figure out a hard drive was stolen. That doesn't even include the employees that are actively involved in theft themselves, which accounts for about 45% of inventory shrinkage.
RFIDs won't help at all. I also believe there's tech out there to change RFIDs in a store to pull a scam at the cash register.
Even if you had the "real" address of a person who had the drive before, you have no proof that they did anything.
Police: Did you buy this drive? It had tiles in the box instead of a drive. Alleged Crook: Yes, but I returned it unopened. Best Buy accepted it as unopened. The tiles must have been put in there before I bought the drive or after I returned it.

Neither is mightier, just different tools for different situations which can be used together for greater effect.
Shackle a man's hands and shoot him in the head and he won't try to break free either then use propaganda to state that the man was a child molester.

What no mention of Asia Carrera? Mensa, gamer, pornstar
I heard of several Canadians buying it through Valve since the exchange rate set was still about 1:1.5 instead of the 1:1 real world exchange rate.
Has anyone gotten to play around with or develop for the Neo 1973?
I like the idea, but I need to play with a phone before I buy it.
I wonder how hard it would be to adapt a NEO 1973 to VOIP. It's got USB, but I don't think it could handle a USB NIC.

I just don't understand how he thought building a helicopter was easier than a car. A home-made car would be equivalent to a heavy go-cart.
