I know Moz has this, so it can't be hard for everyone to have it.
And while they are at it, how about fixing what ever is letting websites open an add window when I close them, even though I have all the "Allow websites to..." options turned off.
I've had my "fair" share of profiling. This brings it to a whole new level.
If used correctly, (I know, HUGE if) this could actually be an argument FOR the situation you describe. Most "minority profiling" isn't entirely based on racism, an entire profile. In the situation you describe, wouldn't it be nice to have your chip tell the officer you are a good, law abiding citizen BEFORE he gets up to your window? I understand it's not fair to have to be flagged as "one of the good ones", but it still works in your favor to be treated that way. If you happen to be driving on I-95 North in a Cadillac with tinted windows and New York tags in North Carolina as a pair of african american males between the ages of 18 to 25, it's not entirely unreasonable for you to be more likely to get pulled over for speeding. It would be good if the cop knows you have no criminal record BEFORE getting to the car and assuming you are a carrying drugs.
Just a little Devil's advocate from my home in Utopia, where everyone plays nicely and doesn't abuse overreaching powers.
My mother had a very similiar situation happen to her. However, she managed to completely control her car, while driving through town and even stopping at stoplights, by shifting and using the brake and emergency brake heavily.
Two days later when I got to look at her engine it smelled like she burned the hell out of them, but she got home safely. Thank god she was only in a Ford Escort and only going 40mph through town. I still find it very hard to believe this guy COULDN'T stop and much easier to believe he panicked too much to stop.
Incidentally, when I turned it on the next day it continued to rev until I manually fiddled with the lines. The mechanic said it was just dirty, cleaned it, and pronounced it good as new. If I was a mechanic, I could tell you what part he actually cleaned, but the best I can do as a geek is tell you it's that pulley thing at the end of the cord that comes from the gas pedal.
No fucking way, people remember the name of a performer from the Super Bowl after it was banged into their heads on every media outlet for two months straight?
This may be a crazy theory, but possibly it's because there was a nipple involved.
Not to be pedantic about the poster's phrasing, but I would have though the proof went *against* the five-second rule (although this is the first I've heard of such a rule - up until now I've always thought of food on the floor as being garbage-fodder... Catching it in mid-fall is the thing to do, thus managing to foil the buttered-toast rule:-)
It depends on which part of the claim you are looking at. If you take the claim as "Food that has been on the floor less than 5 seconds is safe to eat" then the claim holds up, mostly because he proved that the time doesn't matter much at all. What he seems to have demonstrated is that most of the floors he looked at were clean enough to eat from. He did disprove that the time is the relevant factor, however.
There's always a difference between clean and sanitary. Relevant to this is that we may actually be too clean.
Sure, with luck. The big difference being you already paid more for the chip so you don't get as much bang for your buck. This goes back to the basic concept of chips and bins, which as far as I know is accurate.
The idea being that all chips with a given core revision come off the same lines. Silicon growing being what it is, they don't all come off the same quality. They test the chips to see what they can handle reliably and toss them into a bin. The catch being sometimes they have to put them into a lower bin than they deserve because they need more of that chip. 2500+ for whatever reason seems to be a great breaking point, probably because of price and public perception. People end up buying more 2500+ so they have to put chips that deserve to be in say the 2600+ or 3000+ bin in the 2500+ bin to meet demand. They DO put locks on these chips to try and keep them closer to 2500+ but the locks are fairly ineffective.
So with chips and bins being what they are, the customer gets to decide whether or not to gamble on their chip being one of the ones that deserved to be in a faster bin. It's only promised to run at the speed on the bin, but there is a statistical probability associated that it can actually run much faster. The higher the number on the chip and the less popular a chip is, the more likely it won't run much faster than the speed on the box.

It's funny how World Service is changing people's lives. I've found more and more these days one of my primary news sources is out of Bejing. My guess is that's because they are putting out new releases right about when I look for news, so Google news tends to stick them toward the top of the stack.
You are correct. States do decide how their votes go, but most (if not all) states have laws that regulate how the electorate must vote. Currently, all but two states operate in a "Winner takes all" manner. Maine and Nebraska being the exceptions.
Exactly, while I agree with Bush on a great many things, this is one I simply can't. The Constitution forces me to defend your right to be wrong. The government only needs to preside over marriage in terms of the legal contract. If I want to have a simplified contract that gives someone else rights over part of my possessions, rights regarding my privacy, rights regarding ownership of property after death, and whatever else, along with the assuming each other's tax and debt burdens, then it doesn't matter who it is. In the government's eyes, marriage should be the legal part of the marriage contract.
Whether or not the government says Bill and Bob are married does not effect the religious part of marriage any more than having a pastor declare you man and wife makes you legally married until you file the paperwork. Even poligamy has a legal justification for the government preventing as it causes you to give two or more people overlapping and conflicting claims and rights.
I honestly don't care whether you love each other or not. If you're willing to enter into a marriage contract with both the positive and negative benefits that entails, the government should mind it's own business. You should be Party A to the contract and Party B. Think of the legal side of marriage as a glorified power of attorney with a debt merger clause.

Try taking the key out and actively turning the wheel a couple times sharply back and forth. Odds are it'll lock itself.
It apparently takes video game characters that appear in Playboy to get people to vote! Freud would have a field day with this one!

I'd bet because the ISP's wouldn't open it back up again. Your TOS most likely says they don't have to.
