  1. is it worth the trouble? on D.C. Commuters to be Scanned With Infrared Cameras · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I'm not in an area that has carpool lanes but:
    a.) Is it worth the trouble for so much money to be spent enforcing the carpool lane rules.
    b.) Is it worth the effort for drivers to spend the resources on a warm dummy to beat the system?

    It's a club with no entry requirements: any country can join.

    Paragraph 1 of Article 4 of the Charter of the United Nations states that it "is open to all other peace-loving States which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations." The procedure is as follows:
    - The State submits an application to the Secretary-General and a formal declaration stating that it accepts the obligations under the UN Charter.
    - The application is considered first by the Security Council. Any recommendation for admission must receive the affirmative votes of nine of the 15 members of the Council, provided that none of its five permanent members - China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America - has voted against the application.
    - If the Council recommends admission, the recommendation is presented to the General Assembly for consideration. A two-thirds majority vote is necessary for admission of a new State, and membership becomes effective on the date the resolution for admission is adopted.

  5. revolutionary on Apple Sued Over iTunes UI · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The idea of displaying the music catagory, composer, artist and song on the monitor is such a revolutionary idea, I don't believe Apple can use the defence "It just came to us."

  11. Re:A brief history of HDTV on Feds to Require Digital Receivers In All New TVs? · · Score: 1

    I think places like HH Greg and Best buy are really fucking people because they say "Ooh digital, must be good because we don't know what it means..." and they advertise the hell out of it, screwing a lot of people eventually... Next time your in best buy, ask them some questions about digital tv...

  12. My school has that on Rolling Your Own Internet Connection? · · Score: 1

    My high school has 2 T-1 lines connected directly to an internet backbone (I think Sprint is the nearest provider) and it costs about $400-600 dollars a month, I can't remember, and that's at a discount because it's a school. Hopefully you have a good paying job.
