And what if the cops are chasing someone with a pacemaker?
Then the cops involved are suspended with pay during the official investigation, which will find that the cops could not be reasonably expected to have known that the person had a pacemaker, so they will be off the hook, AS USUAL.
The bottom line, and its simple, is its about the TAX REVENUE.
which will be spent by enforcing this law, net gain - zero. In fact it will be more expensive to find out who these "online" gamblers are, take them to court, and lock them up, feed them and house them for a few years, then help them try to live a life after no one wants to give them a job because they now have a "criminal record". Yep, government makes a LOT of sense.
Don't have any remote communication/data systems connected to vehicle control systems, unfortunately there's already a lot of hardware out there already.
It will be funny the day all the Predators fail to come in for landing and the guys in Nevada are left staring at a marijuana leaf on their screens...
Stalin once asked of the Pope: "How many divisions has he got?". It shows the mindset of those whose countries actually fought in a major and prolonged conflict. For them, it was not as much about which tank could turn faster, or whose radios had a better signal. It was about how many men (and for the Soviets, women) they actually had to fight with.
Good post and I essentially agree with you, however this is a bad example. The Russians threw countless bodies in front of the German advance and slowed them down not one bit. It was only when the T-34 was mass produced and outnumbered the German tanks (despite having inferior firepower/armor) that the Soviets began to have a chance. Yes I agree that it was infantry that stopped the Germans at Stalingrad, but it was the tanks that eventually surrounded them in Operation Uranus, and pushed them back.
I agree that technology is not the only determining factor in war, otherwise the Greeks with their spears, the Romans with their legions, and Bonaparte with his artillery would still be around. Yet all of these were eventually defeated by "inferior" troops. But it takes more than simple numbers. You still have to use those inferior troops in a manner that will actually hurt your enemy - either physically, morale-wise, or politically.

Oh God, if we add Microsoft's smug with the smug from all the hybrid drivers and the smug from George Clooney's Oscar acceptance speech then we're really in the shit.
You don't know a damn thing. SO shut the fuck up, bitch.
Now now, don't get all worked up. It's the nature of sheep to bray. Would you blame the rain for being wet, or the snow for being cold? There will always be mindless followers no matter what the issue. Just try not to be one of them.
For some reason I find that your comment suits your screen name just fine...
Of course I understand completely that people don't have to justify their phobias, but you have to admit that you must have caused quite a few shaken heads, raised eyebrows, and sighs of exasperation on behalf of the medical staff. Especially considering that because of their scarcity such machines usually have a line of people waiting for them.
If I was an artist of some kind today I'd be really worried about all the people making copies of my work and "sharing" them with their friends over the net.
Then you deserve to starve to death. There's no reason why any "artist" can't make MORE money than under a record label off the net. Change with the times, we are SICK AND TIRED of paying $15 to the fucking middleman just to keep him supplied with exotic cars, whores, and cocaine.

No, what really freaked the cat out was when the mouse tried to mate with it...
Something tells me these mice are an evolutionary dead end...

Because without this measure, gambling fathers will put their families in incredible debt.
Yeah, only the government should be allowed to do that...
So why do people keep adopting it.
For the same reason people keep voting for the same old corrupt politicians?

People were hanged at Nuremburg despite saying "I was only following orders".
There comes a time where you have to do what's RIGHT, even if you have to go to jail for it.

why the hell should the DoJ, a government institution, police what happens between other people
Buried deep inside the bill is a paragraph that changes the name of the "Department of Justice" to "The Ministry of Love".
