Laws have to be written the way they are so they can be enforcable.
Exmaple 1) You can't have sex for money.
Example 2) A person who knowingly or intentionally:
(1) performs, or offers or agrees to perform, sexual intercourse or deviate sexual conduct; or
(2) fondles, or offers or agrees to fondle, the genitals of another person;
for money or other property commits prostitution, a Class A misdemeanor. However, the offense is a Class D felony if the person has two (2) prior convictions under this section.
If you were arrested for the "can't have sex for money" law, and it wasn't spelled out like it is in example #2 (the indiana state prostitution law), any lawyer could get you off the hook. My client didn't have sex, just played with her stuff. My client never actually had sex with the prositiute, the cops broke it up before they could. My client didn't pay the hooker, only gave her a crack rock. My client etc...
If you take the time to read the laws, they really aren't all that confusing.
Why bother with dinner if you have naked pics of her? Google the name of her parents, and blackmail her into having sex with you, sending the pics to her parents if she doesnt want to.
But the question remains: who are we to decide that we can employ other animals for our own purpose, specifically so when it comes to testing and experimentation?
We are humans, top of the food chain. What we say goes.
Can't innovate? Can't produce? No problem, we'll sue!
Java is an innovation, and a great tool. Microsoft doesn't like it because they don't have control over it, so they are going to use their monopoly to destroy it. Evil at its best.
All low voltage wire that must cross paths with 120V should cross at a 90 degree angle, this goes for speaker wire, cat5, everything. You don't want the 120V getting inducted into the low power wire. Strange things can happen when the 120V bleeds a bit into low power stuff.
The speakers I have take shielded XLR mic cable for input. I had to assrig a connection one day and couldn't understand why the speakers were humming until I realized that the connection I made was unshielded. Tinfoil didn't work for me, so I just moved it away from the AC it was near and the hum went away.
Remember that power lines can carry signals, and with the old wiring in the building, I'm sure the problem could be 10 times worse than I'm used to dealing with.
But the scary thing is what if they start to use it for that purpose? They have been saying they haven't been using it to track at all, which was not the case here. This may be a precendence for tracking even speeders.
How daft are you people? THEY USE IT TO TRACK STOLEN CARS. THE BANK ROBBERS STOLE A CAR, AND THE CAR WAS TRACKED. Its not a difficult concept.
On the other, I'm cautious of how they were tracked.
They were in a stolen car being tracked by a stolen car locating device. Are you against recovering stolen vehicles?
Dude, really. Onstar is, in part, a tracking device. If you get in a bad accident where the airbags go off, the police are summoned immediately. If you call onstar and tell them you car was stolen, they track it and tell the police where it is. Onstar tracked car thieves at the request of the vehicle's owner. The police were used to apprehend the car thieves, whom also happened to be bank robbers and murderers.
If you put a GPS in your car so you can see where you've gone, would you be violating you own rights? If someone took your vehicle for a short joyride with the GPS in there and then parked it where you left it, would you have violated their rights? Get a clue.
Dude, you run raves- What you do is illegal on many fronts- fire code violations, controlled substances violations, curfew violations, trespass violations, etc. Raves are unlawful assemblies- you are the organizer, you should go to jail.
As for the article, your picture isn't even in the system unless you have a felony warrant out for your arrest. It doesn't track you UNLESS YOU ARE WANTED. If it were using driver's license photos, I would be against it, but its not. Seriously, what if there is a serial rapist out on the street, looking for his next victim. Would you rather him to be free to wander and choose (possibly your wife or kids), or would you want him to think twice about even being anywhere near your city due to the cameras?
In most states, bingo is legal as long as the proceeds go to a charitable organization. Thats why churches here often have 'bingo nights', they keep all the proceeds for themselves, because they are a charitable organization.
Ever seen an old person try to use a touch screen? We used to have touch screen lotto machines in Illinois, and old people would sit there for 15 minutes trying to get a lotto ticket because everywhere they thought they were touching, they really weren't. Also, they'd press real hard on the screen, hitting a few imaginary buttons at once, as if it would work better if they just pushed harder.
So basically, instead of stupid people in florida voting incorrectly, seniors are going to be the ones voting incorrectly (or holding up the line for hours while they push harder and harder on the screen.) Having to choose between the two, I'd rather the stupid people be the ones to vote incorrectly rather than the old folks.
I got slammed about a week after I moved in here. Whatever long distance service company it was called my dumb blonde ex girlfriend (whose name appears nowhere on the bill) while I was at work and told her that I had no long distance service (false), and she wouldn't be able to make any long distance calls until she signed up with them.
I didn't even bother filing a complaint because she can't even remember what soap operas she watched all day, let alone exactly what was said during the slamming session...
I look over my phone bill all the time, trying to understand why the 20 calls I make per month + call waiting + caller ID costs me $90 per month. Some of the stranger items:
Partial month charges: $37.65
Central Office charge: $20.00
Local phone service: $15.25
Local services: $23.25
Sprint local stinks, but they are the ONLY local provider in my area. Ameritech and MCI seem to have service everywhere in Indiana, except my county.
Get a rotary, you wont have to pay the extra 1.50 or so they charge for a DTMF capable line. Thats what they charge here anyways. I've thought about switching all my phones to rotary and spending an extra 2 seconds dialing a phone call just to be the only person in this state without touchtone service on their line...
In Indiana, and I would *hope* the other 49 states, a cop needs probable cause to believe you committed a crime to pull you over. Here, the cop needs to physically you commit a misdemeanor, or have reasonable suspicion that you committed a felony.
You really don't need powered magnets to levitate the train itself, but the magnets required to keep a train aloft would be gigantic. You need the powered magnets for the propulsion and slowing of the train. To make the train move, the magnets behind the train need to be more powerful than the ones in front. Reverse that for braking. There could be seperate powered magnets for propulsion i suppose...
I patrol downtown Indianapolis for a private security firm. A lot of our partrol hits are parking garages. The goal is to flush out the bums because the only thing their presence causes is problems. In the process, I have gotten to know a lot of them well, and the ratio of scumbags to decent people down on their luck is about 20:1. Thats my experience. Hell, there's one that I only see about once a month, because he moves around, and every time I see him, he tries to hit me with the same old scam because he doesn't recognize me.

Thats actually a really cool idea... Are there any transparent liquids that don't conduct, and won't erode the parts inside a computer?
It was EASY to get modems working with linux back then... No winmodem idiocy to deal with, just real modems with real chips.

What we need is a cordless rotary phone!

Go to blockbuster, rent "Hackers." I don't care what anyone around here says, its a damn good movie, well worth watching.

Even better, build an ultralight.
How did it get passed? Florida voters can't even follow lines to figure out which hole to punch, let alone be relied on to make sane decisions.
