Some do. Evidently, they can be tuned somewhat. Depth of the sensor, I think. The trick is not to have it too sensitive. You don't want it to register the dump truck in the next lane.
In the context of a bike, tho...a light that does not change should be considered defective. Treat it as you would any other broken traffic signal. Stop, look both ways...if it's clear, go.
The casino can't (and doesn't need to) do that. In the US anyway. The Vegas Gaming Comission takes a very dim view of rigged tables.
The house already has an edge on the odds...no need to influence the wheel more. Just ban electronic prediction methods. And being a private business, they can do that.
No, just most of the time. If players never won, the casino would soon find itself out of patrons. They need to have a few BIG winners, and a somewhat larger number of very small winners, and a larger number of losers.
51%(house)-49%(players) is enough, given enough volume. I've seen this sign "Our slots pay 98%!" That means they keep 2% overall.
Those flashing lights and bells when you win are there to generate desire to win. "Hey...he did it..maybe I can." And sometimes someone does. Just not you, usually.
It's hard to call it all paranoia when people and buildings keep getting blown up. And the people who apparently did it say publically that they want to do it again. (and no..it's not all Bush's fault. This has been going on far longer than he has been president)
Yes, the govt is going a bit overboard. But there IS a bigass hole at the south end of Manhattan where 2 buildings and 3000 people used to be.
True, but scale it down to barely larger than human size. Powered armor, a la Starship Troopers (the book).
TOW/Hellfire missile launcher coaxial with your arm (or over your shoulder), reloads on the backpack.
Small, fast, harder to kill. Dies easier if you do hit it, but harder to hit.
'Mech' size (tank size) things are only that big because they shoot larger gun rounds, and to handle the recoil, many reloads, the armor, and the engine.
If we take a Humvee, add capacity for 50 reloads, a 125mm gun...then we need to add armor to take a hit, weight to stabilize it when we shoot, a larger engine to haul it all, tracks to spread out the load...we end up with a tank.
...even if the site itself may not be (depending on where the server is located). But for the most part, those sites don't go out of their way to make unsolicited offers to users.
Move down a level to regular porn. Somewhat pushed out to people, illegal in many places, unwanted in many more. What if several groups of fundamentalists (Muslim, Christian, etc) banded together and started taking down porn sites in a similar fashion?
Say you were doing research on the 1996 US election. "Election Fraud", then sorted by date, puts the posts concerning the 1996 election about page 70 or so. Long, tedius process to actually find what people were talking about, at the time. Much easier if you could search on "election fraud" between Nov, 1, 1996 and Jan 1, 1997.
Actually, yes it did. All that's left on radio is music/Clear Channel, local news, and talk shows...essentially audio blogs. Ok...NPR is in there too. National news? A 3 minute slice once an hour.
"Video killed the radio star" is exactly what happened with radio journalism.
Download SP2 (and any other patches you want) now. Burn it to CD.
That way, you'll have it for next time.

Joining the National Guard, volunteering for, and then being qualified to fly fighter jets is not 'draft-dodging'. If you think so, then please tell all the Guard and Reserve personnel currently in Iraq that they are 'not willing' to fight.
all kinds of little projects, some electronic, some otherwise. My son(13) is doing the Gauss Rifle. So as not to freak out the teacher, we're calling it a 'Linear Accelerator', instead of a railgun.
Though, it might be more cost effective to distribute the cost to everyone?
The same could be said for a lot of things. Schools, roads, police. Those fit the model. Everybody already has a pipe, albeit 56k. What is the compelling need for broadband that is needs to be tax funded?
Yes, the govt can undercut a corporation on prices. They don't have to show a profit. They can provide the service at or below cost. Or even free.
Of course, that means it is subsidised by the taxpayers. And as such, it stands far more chance of being regulated. The local equivalent of the FCC might be doing the filtering.

Teenage girls.
Now I have to search for a replacement. Any suggestions for a landline 'virtual calling card' service at ~2 cents a min?
So you can have the underwater sound of a regular cellphone, combined with the intermittent stuttering of VoIP.
In a lot of countries, porn is illegal.
You have the right to speak. You don't have the right to force me to listen, and make me pay for the priveledge of doing so.
Teach the child a) not to, and b) how to (when appropriate). You can't 'childproof' the whole house, so you do the parent thing, and teach them.
My various PC's have survived 4 of my own kids.

Would we be so understanding?
Isn't that called a TV? Need ultraportable? Get a Watchman or Casio.

The way it used to be.
Actually, we did have international inspectors for this last election. And they found no real problems.
Leave China alone and pay attention to the problems in your own country.
So no one can criticize another country until their own is perfect? Which perfect land do you live in?
You take the Man's money, the Man is gonna get his money's worth out of you.
Pay attention to this when you campaign for 'city-wide', taxpayer funded, WiFi.

May we start experimenting on you next week?
