A very small section was fake. If you recall the prevous slashdot article, the pipe rolling was CG'ed, because their warehouse was too small to hold the entire contraption.
That said, the rest of the criminal gene pool for this type of activity is probably too stupid to even think of using a "non-repeating pseudo-random sequence".
I have seen people use the SAME serial number on multiple bills. But to physically change the serial number AND take the time to order them sequentially is above and beyond the call of criminal duty.
As someone who lives in Michigan, this ruling does make a big difference. Canada is literally a 20 minute drive from where I live, unlike Japan.
It's not unusal to hear of someone travelling to Windser on a friday night. It's not unusual for a Canadian to shop at our stores or working next to us.
A 6 month wait is going to have a serous effect on both our economies.
From what I learned at 4chan, Pr0n in general was banned in Japan until the '80's or so, until a judge ruled softcore pr0n legal. Japan didn't need a law against child pr0n(no pr0n was legal), so the ruling accidently made child pr0n legal. Child pr0n was banned slowing throught Japanese cities until Japan is a nation banned it in 1999.
So it wasn't simply that Japan lived with child pr0n since the beginning of time, it's more of an effect of a slow legal process.
Will a primus will do less damage to the road than a light truck or a small car? The answer is: it depends on the vehicle we're comparing it to. Those batteries are heavy.:D
Let's be honest here, Not everyone can drive a primus around. Trucks and other gas powered will always be needed, expecially for rural and long distance driving.
If we continue down taxing gas usage only, we'll get to a point where rural areas are paying a significant part of the taxes for upkeep of the road, while the city population, which would be near 100% electric in 10 ~ 30 years, gets off tax free.
Taxing gas is the incorrect tool for the job.
Idiots looking to make a quick buck, that's who.

My friend's paypal account was ripped off. A 3rd party bought a camera and shipped it to Russia, because the auction's shipping was only avalible in the US and the Russian wanted the deal. The Russian supplied my friend's paypal and a $20.
The camera is safe in Russia while the idiot who bought it had a chat with the police.
If the theatre cannot find a parent, they stop the movie, turn on the lights and call a list of names.
I've had it happen twice 1) The whole movie stopped during an important monologe, so I had no clue what was happening. 2) The ushers just started shouting names during a movie.
IANAL
Criminal Negligence. Failure to exercise the degree of care considered reasonable under the circumstances, resulting in an unintended injury to another party.
Gross Negligence. Failure to use even the slightest amount of care in a way that shows Recklessness or willful disregard for the safety of others.
The rocket can fail because of an unforeseen complication and if that unforeseen complication was not 'reasonable' to test for, the corporation would be let off.
An example would be the 1979 Chicago DC10 accident in which not having a stick shaker installed on the co-pilot's side was an important factor in the crash. IIRC, McDonald Douglass was not criminally neglect, but they did have to retrofit existing planes with a co-pilot stickshaker.
I always thought the EPA was funded by the government. I'm not sure what programs the EPA has that would cover rocketship crashes.
I have much more faith in independant review agencies like consumer reports then anything congress passes.
Let's look at a possible scenerio, so we know why government intervention is important...
Company A builds a lovely rocket A by borrowing 10 million dollars in the hopes that Rocket A will make 50 million in the next 5 years.
The first flight, Rocket A crashes and burns in a farmer's field, killing a couple workers and pretty much ending the farmer's livelyhood for two or three years while he cleans the crater and fuel spills.
So, who's going to pay for the damage?
Company A that's already 20 million in the hole and now bankrupt?
The individuals who decided to fly on Company A's flight?
The Government and the tax payers
And before you say, "What about Insurance?", without government forcing them, why should a company pay for it when a crash will bankrupt them anyways?

Of course many forget that American jobs don't belong to the employees, but to the employers.
A Job is who you are. Cook, Smith, Cox are not just job descriptions, they're last names. After a certian period, jobs are owned by the employee.
Management has to do what it must to cut costs, and improve profitability. It's about the bottom line.
At the expense of the Middle Class. Whose going to afford the products if there's no one left to buy them?
As to those who believe that outsourcing provides poorer quality goods and services
Outsourcing produces poor quality goods and services, because the company loses QA control over the product. Sure, blindly saying 'all outsourcing produces crap' is not correct, but the chances of a poor outcome is more likely.

1. It's illegal in the US, depending on your state's law. Some states don't allow you to own lockpicks, while others are more leniant.
2. Locksmiths are not banned from using lockpicks. You don't need special certifications to be a locksmith, but you do need a business license to order from many lockpick manufacturers.
A economical 100% gas car can get better MPG than a hybrid. While I agree hybrids are not pointless, from both in an economical sense AND in an environmental sense, it's better to go with a gas efficient car which gets 40 ~ 50 MPG, rather than a hybrid, which typically get around 30 ~ 35 MPG.
There are many stories where a plane comes down safely, but not exactly pretty. There are plenty of times when a passanger must secure themselves for a harder than usual impact but due to a pilot's skills, are not going to die.
For example, a planes breaks might go out, forcing the pilot to make large circles on an open field. Or a plane must make a belly first landing. In those situations, a passanger has to secure themselves in the fetal possition and exit the plane rapidly.
I could only imagine the media if everyone on the plane was saved except for a handicapped person, because no one would strap in that person.:)
How many of those 35% are simply console ports? Although the PC market isn't small, it's often viewed as a place to dump ports of console games, rather than a place to develop for.

Wow, the Tsunami increased my life expectancy by 50,713.6 microseconds.
A long time ago, extreme was only for activities that had a significant risk of getting killed; now it's a soft drink. Hero's the same way.
Hero is now used for everyone important & significant, even if that significance is just being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
But IIRC, they also only go up to about 35 miles per hour. Not truely effective for road travel.

You might enjoy the manga more. The comic form has a more developed plot, actual humor and it's not as pr0n-0-rific.
Don't know where you live, AP, but here in Michigan, we can purchase one at the local hardware store.
It even gives the serial numbers on cars it's effective for.

Around $25 for the system on ebay, then a quick search for a bootdisk.
Plus, it can be made bootable, so other people can play your game without any modifications to the DC.
