Use the speakerphone built into your phone if you don't want to buy a bluetooth headset. Or a cheap wired headset. The law doesn't in any way require you to use a bluetooth headset.
That's not a loophole. As long as you have both hands available to drive with the intent of the law is being met. If you are holding the speakerphone while using it however, you are still in violation of the law as it says "...unless that telephone is specifically designed and configured to allow hands-free listening and talking, and is used in that manner while driving".
I always forget my headset when borrowing my girlfriends car so I frequently make quick calls with the speakerphone in my lap.
I don't think voice recognition would help that much. What would be helpful is voice recognition which allows the phone to response with a prerecorded "Yes, dear" or "No, dear" when appropriate.
Right, and that stupidity is why no one cares about copyright laws. If they even tried to be fair or reasonable I'm sure a lot more people would pay attention to them.
But if "anything with high entropy is designed by an intelligent being" is your assumption then, yes, you'd presume God to be real (not allah, not krishna, not buddha, since those ideologies are in direct conflict with scientific theory. They both claim that scientific experiments have no validity, and convey no truth.
You'd presume God to be real, but not Allah? You do know that Allah is a different language, not a different god right? Muslim's call their god Allah because they speak Arabic. Christians who speak Arabic also call their god Allah.
And you say that the Buddha's teachings are in direct conflict with Scientific theory. Which one? The teaching where he said that you are to judge for your self the validity of his teachings and not accept anything just because it came from him? Yeah, how unscientific. It's much, much, more scientific to insist people have faith in a teaching and to disregard any evidence to the contrary, isn't it?
You're right, they make money on the refills, but in the case the refills are subscriptions to the service and the razor they give away is the box itself.
If they aren't making any money on the STB sale, wouldn't it make sense for them to allow other hardware makers to do it for them?
Maybe not. I'm no MBA, but it makes sense it my head. I think the DRM is the real reason everyone needs to make their own.
True. The criminals in Mexico, America's violent drug war playground to the south, get many of their weapons from the US since they are illegal in Mexico.
No, I don't think a programmer sitting in a cubicle in the pentagon is likely to get PTSD. That comes from being exposed to the horrors of the battlefield, not the horrors of c++.
Offtopic, but regarding you sig. Huh? How does any legal definition change my own personal relationships? And how is it a bad thing to be no different from a happy and loving gay couple?
I'm not sure how you think that's fair, but if you want to be taken advantage of by your employer by getting to work early without pay I guess that's your choice.
When I used to work in retail their policy was typically that you should be at work 15 minutes before your shift so that you could count your tray and do whatever else to be ready at the time you were scheduled to start. None of those business ever tried to rip me off though, we clocked in when we arrived so we got payed for those extra 15 minutes every day, even if it didn't take us the full 15 minutes to get ready.
I'm an American but I wouldn't love to kill anyone, no matter what. You know who does love to kill people? Your friends Bin Laden and Hussein. I fancy myself a bit more enlightened then that thuggish sort.
I think I was pretty clear about the difference, and how productive you are at any given time is completely irrelevant. If you are twiddling your thumbs for five hours because your boss told you to come in and twiddle your thumbs, they owe you for that time.
probably mostly due to the fact that I could care less about the environment
I can't fathom how anyone could make such an idiotic statement. Would you not mind if someone dumped a load of radioactive waste on your front yard? I'm guessing that's not the case and what you really mean to say is that you are so myopic and self-absorbed that you can only be concerned about something if it has a direct and immediate impact on your own well being.

Children can be ignored as long as they are fastened into their carseat instead of jumping around in the back.
No way, I'm certain it was my terrorist-repellent rock that has been protecting us.
It looks like he was trying to take a picture of the other end.

Geez, Kim Jong Il is more cruel than I thought.
Wait, which Korea are we talking about?
Then why do you think we went there, and how much of that goal have we actually achieved?
It's funny that this chart says that the highest violent crime rates are in the south. Sort of the opposite of what you claim.
Wikipedia's admittedly short list of countries by gun ownership has the US in first place. Where are you from?
True. The criminals in Mexico, America's violent drug war playground to the south, get many of their weapons from the US since they are illegal in Mexico.

Not my firefox. It takes more like 10 seconds to load 9 tabs.
Terrible Anonymous Cowarding. Just a quick glance:
"along with a image of a successful run of the test, with the score '17' clearly visible"
The image doesn't show what browser it is from, and the numbers in the image are 100, 12, 100/100, 13. Not a 17 in the lot.
Well, that speaks for itself. Also terribly choice of username and bad methodology as usual.
Unfortunately he already won: I wasted 30 seconds with this reply.
A 72 year lifespan? How much more improvement do you need? It seems like price is the only remaining hurdle for SSDs.
And who gets to decide which film the on-call people get to watch? That seems like a lousy solution to me.
No, they aren't under-funded, they are over-populated. Stop locking people up for non-violent drug offenses and the problem goes away.
