    Why does bugzilla scare you?

  2. Re:Because. on John Gilmore's Search for the Mandatory ID Law · · Score: 1

    Nope. Ask an officer to produce the law. He'll usually have a portable or pocket guide that summarizes the law in the context of his duties, but he should produce it. If he doesn't, ask for his sergeant. It'll take a while for him to show up, and you'll definatly get cited, but you can do it. I learned alot from riding with this man in California and Nevada: http://usff.com/quig/

    Sure they can ask for your SS#. The only regulations (at this moment) regarding SS numbers are aimed at regulating what the government can do with them.

  5. Re:Don't Be a Deadbeat on Dealing with Employers Who Perform Credit Checks? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yup. ..but if you've fucked up 4-5 years ago what do you do? I settled all my debts and they're marked as paid.

    Another coworker was severly injured when he was 20 and had insurance, but the hospitial's accounting department ended up billing him. He handled it like a 20 year old and ignored it. Now he "owes" something like 20 grand, even though recent followups from the insurance company indicate that they paid. He's disputing it, but he looks like a dead beat right now.

    The credit reporting system has problems and I'd hate to have my job hanging on the outcome of a credit report.

  6. Negotiating Visibility and Terms on Dealing with Employers Who Perform Credit Checks? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I couldn't get out of it, but I negotiated who would see my credit report, why they would see it, for how long, and how it was to be destroyed after veiwing. I got everything in writing and made them sign it.

    Whatever you want to call that big wart transformer looking thingy is that keeps sucking out the power for the display, running my batteries low and then causing the ir sim to do funny things (ringing) while I'm trying to debug my irda implementation.

    >I think the term DC-DC inverter is misleading
    ok.
