I installed color-changing LED faucets -- mostly because I'm a nerd -- but I like knowing when the water has turned from cold as a witches tit to hot as the devil's anus at a glance.
I kept waiting for the article that said, "So we went down to a transit terminal armed with as many different RFID and NFC cards as we could find, trying to see which ones worked and which didn't." Then we used our easily purchasable RFID/NFC card reader to see what information the cards we tried had in common with the Federal IDs and the transit cards -- and here's our findings.
Now, I understood *that* sort of journalism would have taken a hundred bucks and a couple of hours, but......sheesh, people.
If you cant' trust your daughter to do some driving at 16, you did a shitty job of parenting..
So much angst...
My daughter is on the cusp of driving. And assuming there aren't any major behavioral changes between now and then, she'll get the privilege of driving.
....but if technology allows me to be notified if her car goes into Mexico, I'll continue to assume a trust-but-verify stance with my children.
They go to bed on time -- but that doesn't mean I don't peek in their bedrooms from time to time.
...that doesn't mean I shouldn't be notified if she's had a lapse in that responsibility.
Kids should break a few rules. That's part of growing up. Getting alerted on it and going all batshit crazy about it are two different things. I'll respond appropriately when my kid sneaks her first beer or stays out past curfew or pretends her friends parents are home when she stays the night somewhere. Now that I'm an old man, I know I didn't get nearly as much past my parents as I thought I did.:)
Plenty of people in the US pack up and move to somewhere in Central America or Southeast Asia where they take the dollar and speak English and retire like kings.

It's not inherently wrong for Ohio to decide how it wants to deal and trade with California at the state level -- only different.
...at least Texas' laws were a consequence of leftover monopoly laws preventing squeezing out car dealers.
This is just plain old greed by bought-and-paid-for politicians working for their car-dealer sponsors.
I don't understand. How do you know when to stop playing Angry Birds on the toilet?

The TECH is still there. DVD "seamless" branching is alive and well and working just fine. There's plenty of multi-angle non-adult films out there.

There's only so much room in my parent's basement, you insensitive clod.
Were they not accepting submissions on http://thisiswhyimbroke.com/ ?

I'll have you know that I watched several hours of the Olympics (and nothing else ever) in 3D last year, thank you very much.
Also, my lawn. Get off it.
Is rec. short for approved standard or recommendation?
The documentary, Planes Trains and Automobiles has a great deal of information on the subject.
Awesome!
...now what the fuck is a docker?
The point is that it isn't merely the card that does this, but the system behind it.
Also, storing anything on the card itself beyond an identifier -- my Visa doesn't hold my balance -- seems silly.
[...also, sky blue, water wet.]

A big drawback to the card system is that it eliminates this ploy.
Yeah, 'cause it'd be impossible to allow people with a card linked to an account to pre-buy fares at a lower rate.
What's that got to do with women?
..a member of the locksport community.
"The locksport community" might be the funniest thing I've heard yet today.
I know you're serious, but it doesn't make it any less funny.

Then what are the quotation marks for?
I've taught my daughter to be responsible.

There was a trash compactor there that broke a guy's arm allegedly, and they just welded that stupid thing back together.
Welding that guy's arm back together must have been pretty awesome to watch.
This happens.

Perhaps people should follow the rules and choose between moderating a discussion and participating in it.
