when my boss was in California the cop got upset when telling him to put his hands on the hood, and my boss put his hand on his (hooded) jacket, instead of the car's bonnet.;)
It already happened in the 1980s. Brazilian protectionism required imports to justify that a Brazilian alternative was not available. Because of this, there was a local production of MSX computers and a local reimplementation of Unix (SOX). By the 1990s, they had figured that protectionism was harming local consumers of equipment more than promoting local production and that there were too many routine authorizations for imports.
From Jared Diamond's Collapse, another problem is the soil. The Australian plate has been eroded for eons and most of the soil that could sustain plants (natural or cultivated) has been washed away eras ago. Diamond almost suggested to forget about cattle and agriculture and concentrate on mining.
is there some good reason for keeping people (and their money) out of your business? CmdrTaco has said that he is not particularly concerned when some of the new features don't work in IE since most of the readers use Firefox.
Testing: This is literally a life-and-death situation, and any robot "error" in a real person is likely to set the technology back 5 years after it hits the press and hospital review boards. Very, very damaging PR.
Google Heart Surgery solved this with a "Beta" sticker.
his disabilities matter not when deciding his punishment.
They do if you want proportionality. Ideally fines should have some proportion to the severity of the misdeed and the richness of the culprit. The same with the punitive component of prison sentences. If the same sentence would mean death for a weak person and a holiday for another, you should adapt it to the actual punishment suffered by the individual convict.
Actually, from what I understood, the idea of a country run by clerics not by caliphs or secular leaders was revolutionary (as in "Islamic Revolution"). Maybe Iran is more like Calvinist Geneva.
- l do wish you'd let me hire free darkies instead of using convicts. I believe we could do better. - Darkies! Why, their pay would break us, and convicts are dirt cheap. - If we just give Gallegher a free hand... - A free hand! You know what that means. He'll starve them and whip them. Some of them are sick, underfed.... - Oh, Ashley, how you do run on. Left alone, you'd be giving them chicken three times a day and tucking them to sleep with eiderdown quilts.

Germany is in recession. Perhaps they should lose another war to get out of it.
Wow! I thought that Pére Lachaise was for important people of the past. Is it easy to be buried there?

obviously you're going to hide your messages somewhere already illegal rather than in wedding photos or LOLcats.
I propose precautory detention for distributors of wedding photos and LOLcats.
I for one welcome our new tin-whiskered overlords.
Somebody should investigate why Charles Kane uttered "Rosebud!" when he was chosen.
Isn't this Kane guy related to Ted Nelson's Xanadu?

It seems that free trade was not accepted enough.

Didn't hamsters solve that by carrying food in their cheeks?

I still belong to one forum that was probably among the first on the web
EBCDIC porn?
What precedent is the lawyer for Antigua talking about?
they still survive as a small shadow group, and occasionally play on a part-time server.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.
In the British JANET, machine names looked like UK.AC.HATFIELD.STAR .
What if you redirect every porn page to Slashdot? That would keep the kids away from sex for years.
I wonder why we don't hear more about Internet Mail 2000, where storage is taken by the sender, not the receiver.
a medieval theocratic regime.

I was told that the number of bats sold in Scotland has no relation with the small number of baseball players.
In Australia we plant non-native pine trees for timber
Strange, in pinewood Europe we plant non-native eucalyptuses for timber!

I think the Founding Fathers would be very disappointed in the direction that we've taken the United States in the last hundred years.
Aye, free Negroes everywhere.
