Unfortunately, in CA, you don't have a choice. The law in CA explicitly states that driving is a privilige, not a right. In addition, the law states that when you drive a motor vehicle, you give "implied consent" to one of a blood, urine, or breath test for alcohol.
Since in CA, driving is not a right, these restrictions are (technically) constitutional, and not in violation of the Fourth Amendment.

'bout a year or so ago, some (non-techie) friends were going to buy a new computer to replace their aging 486. They told me about the HP Pavillion they were going to buy (800MHz, 64MB RAM, etc...)
I told them that if they could, to buy a 700MHz and up the RAM to 128MB because it would actually be faster that way...
This rumor has a grain of truth to it. One of the early Venus probes (I can't remember whether it was US or USSR) went into solar orbit because of a missing comma.
The line was supposed to read something line (numbers changed to protect the innocent):
I took a class in WDM drivers (yes, I know...) from a guy who had asked MS about their 5 9's claim.
It's for Win2K Datacenter Server, running on Certified Hardware with Certified Drivers running Certified Apps only. Put ANYTHING that ain't certified on it, and MS won't give you that 5 9's guarantee.
In other words, you'd better be running Win2K, IIS, MSSQL, etc... forget any non-MS stuff.
I think this is kind of bogus advertising, but if you think about it, that's the way Big Iron(tm) ran back in the olden days.
And I wish that it would be that easy. But since Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion both come from the same source, the First Amendment, what makes you think that *THEY* wouldn't trample on FoR just as much as *THEY* do on FoS?
No, actually, I think that I'd tend to trust.mil MORE than.gov. I may be biased, but I believe I have more experience with the military than most/.'ers (I worked for a defense contractor for 17 years). I would have no hesitation in trusting a.mil site.
On the other hand, I'd trust a.gov as far as I could throw it.
BS. I don't remember the URL to the article, but nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, goes into the shuttle avionics software without a reason (problem report), spec, design, inspection, review, and rigorous testing. The shuttle software group is CMM level 5.
1st Law of Thermodynamics: Every action has an opposite and equal reaction.
What the hell are you talking about? That's Newton's Third Law of Motion.
The laws of thermodynamics
First Law
The quantity of energy supplied to any isolated system in the form of heat is equal to the work done by the system plus the change in internal energy of the system.
Second Law
It is not possible to construct an engine whose sole effect is the extraction of heat from a heat source at a single temperature and the conversion of this heat completely into mechanical work.
Third Law
By no finite series of processes is the absolute zero attainable.
Most video stores I know will charge for an entire rental again if you're late by even a couple of hours. So you can pretty much do the same here. Just download it again and pay for it again.
Yeah, but I don't have to go to the video store again. Here I'd have to sit through another 500MB download (even at DSL speed, that's a pain in the ass).
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
If you say that Treaties are equal to the Constitution, then you have to say that laws passed by Congress equal the Constitution. I would suspect that SCOTUS would not find that treaties trump the Constitution (I'd love to see a test case!).
You mean Bush, don't you? Clinton, while not receiving a majority of the popular vote, still had more votes than either Bush or Dole.
Bush, on the other hand, clearly lost the popular vote (and, while I voted Libertarian, I believe that Bush actually *DID* win FL), but he still lost the popular vote.

Tell that to Jon Johannsen. Tell it to Dmitry.

Yo, flame-boy. How many units did Firestone and/or Ford ship?
A lot of the discussion has been "how do we explain to Joe Average" that a 1.4GHz Athlon is faster than a 2GHz P4? You just hit it!
Which would you rather have:
A carburated, non-turbo 2valve/cyl 2.0L engine, or
A turbocharged, quatrovalved, fuel-injected 1.4L engine?
Maybe that's the best way to describe it???

The line was supposed to read something line (numbers changed to protect the innocent):
DO 100 I = 1, 10
But actually read
DO 100 I = 1 10
Because the compiler collapsed spaces, it became
DO100I = 110
fine we are down to symantecs :)
So Peter Norton gets to determine how long the year is?
Ohhhh... you meant semantics!

I meant to say more.
IANAL, but I read that section to say that State laws cannot trump the Constitution, federal law or treaties.
The paragraph in question reads:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
