August 2012 - Gunman kills six people at SIkh temple in Wisconsin before being shot dead by police. Suspect is named as white supremacists Wade Michael Page.
so the only ones that involved religion were either committed against Christians, or committed by Muslims.
That's a pretty thorough analysis there. Good job.
Tell ya what. Here's a thirty-five pound case filled with binders, all stuffed with papers. Why don't you check each page to guarantee that every single one is in place, up-to-date and undamaged, while I ensure that between these two electronic tablets that the pilot and co-pilot are carrying, at least one of them will power up and run the appropriate reader app.
Go ahead. I'll wait for you. Take all the time you need.
Then, make sure that you repeat that check before every single flight. THEN you can go on about how bug-free your big bag of charts and checklists is.
In the UK, funeral directors Chester Pearce offer QR codes engraved in granite or metal that attach to headstones. benches, plaques, buildings and even trees. The codes link to a page on its QR Memories website.
Encoding large amounts of information would be a good idea, but that's not what's being done here.
QR codes may not be popular for long, but they are easy enough to build a program to read. Do you really think future humans will be carrying around weaker computers than we are now?
The company being around is not that important considering you can store ~2KB in a QR code.
Wonderful. Future humans with their amazingly powerful computers will be able to decipher such amazing messages as "http://www.qr-memories.co.uk/memorials4less/115223/b11235/4.gif".
Through sufficiently advanced technology, future generations may eventually use that message to discover that their great uncle Leon's favourite number was 404.
I'm willing to accept that US Citizens usually won't have health care, don't use SINs, are reluctant to show their long form birth certificates and have no use for libraries, but how hard can it be to find a neighbour who knows you?
And, for a machine of that age, the kid can also make the necessary blood sacrifice required every time you open up the case.
It's just an added bonus of learning not to stick your fingers into everything you open up. Most of us had to wait until we were older to get that lesson.
Slashdot Mirror
the agent screamed at me that he was in Georgia(the state)
You never finished the story. Was he able to find someone who spoke English there?
But the smartest 10% of the boulders in the Himalayas outnumber the population of China.
Don't even get me started on how many squid there are in just the top 5% who are most qualified to drive a fork-lift.
What's the next step? Jars. Lots and lots of jars.
More to the point would we recognize intelligent life even if it was in front of our face.
Probably not, because it would be too different from us.
Because RIM is on the decline and there is a fair amount of momentum behind MS.
I think you misspelled the word "money". The first two letters were right, but then you went right off the tracks.
Now that it's "Fixed", it's technically an Astronomical Eunuch.
Goodby Lolita http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita

Feel free to say goodby to other great books. Add them to the list.
Good bye to "Twilight" too, but we can add it to a different list.
What about courts, jury's, attorneys, ECT?
Electro Convulsive Therapy? Isn't that the treatment they give to people who abu'se apo'strophe's?

How about it doesn't work in Australia?
Is that real LTE, or the kind that only works in the Northern Hemisphere?
Maybe we can found a new country, Extremistan, and put them all there to kill each other while the rest of the world enjoys peace and pluralism.
I think the country you were thinking of was Ethniklashistan.
You're absolutely right. Only Muslims go on killing rampages.
And since no true Scotsman would do such a thing, it must be all the fault of foreigners.
Me? I blame Mick Jones for everything.
If Linux was any indication, it will probably be when somebody 3D prints a dead badger.
And then installs NetBSD on it.
Because as everyone knows, the GNU/Linux/Badger386 port has been unmaintained and stagnant since 1998.
I was recently asked by a client to 3D print some replacement parts for his pet duck.
But he balked when I gave him the bill.
Come on.
Chicken. Squawked.
Chickens. Beaks.

And yet, RTFA yields this plan:

Encoding large amounts of information would be a good idea, but that's not what's being done here.
I've had math professors who could barely speak English because they were foreign countries.
That's... impressive.

US citizens f. ex. who don't drive usually have none,
Do they also have no health card, no social insurance number, no birth certificate and no library card? Because any of those would be a good start. If you can't come up with any ID at all, all it takes is a sworn oath from someone else on the same polling division and you're in.

Perjury is a serious crime here.
Unless you're the Mayor. Then it's a matter of being too busy to tell the truth.
That would be at a polling station with only one ballot box.
Stations here in the real world will have more.

Somebody has to do this.
