I've even turned in video footage (I have a helmet cam) to drivers who were especially egregious - hard to deny you were texting/talking when there is a good chunk of video proving it.
Is this behavior more or less distracting than using a phone? Your head is turned sideways, is it not? Do you see most of these drivers holding their phones to the side?
Also, call me a 'cager' if it helps, but I'd suggest that 80% of your close calls are because you're on a motorcycle. The roads were designed and sized for cars, so you might expect to have to put up with some additional risk using them with the incorrect vehicle. And God help you if you're using your motorcycle like a motorcycle instead of a car - e.g. utilizing that 'nice thing' you mentioned above to pass commuters in the commuter lane at high speed using three feet of shoulder. Not that I'm bitter.:)
In slashdot terms, motorcycle riders who complain about cars remind me of Linux users who complain about compatibility. It should be an informed decision.
Maybe you didn't click the link. Here's the salient part:
It has been argued that with the adoption of the 'Uniting for Peace' resolution by the General Assembly, and given the interpretations of the Assembly's powers that became customary international law as a result, that the Security Council 'power of veto' problem could be surmounted.[34] By adopting A/RES/377 A, on 3 November 1950, over two-thirds of UN Member states declared that, according to the UN Charter, the permanent members of the UNSC cannot and should not prevent the UNGA from taking any and all action necessary to restore international peace and security, in cases where the UNSC has failed to exercise its 'primary responsibility' for maintaining peace. Such an interpretation sees the UNGA as being awarded 'final responsibility' - rather than 'secondary responsibility' - for matters of international peace and security, by the UN Charter. Various official and semi-official UN reports make explicit reference to the Uniting for Peace resolution as providing a mechanism for the UNGA to overrule any UNSC vetoes;
So this is the approximate procedure:
1) Introduce to the Security Council a resolution to restore "security" to the internet by barring the United States from hacking everybody. 2) US vetoes. 3) Introduce to the Security Council a resolution removing the US from the Security Council and barring the United States from hacking everybody, in order to restore "security" to the internet. 4) US vetoes. 5) Bring resolution from '3' to the General Assembly. 6) Resolution passes, because the GA is empowered to prevent war.
In fact, the event that woke Sarah McCoin that nightâ"the deluge that moved houses and ripped trees from the groundâ"was even bigger than the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in April 2010, which spewed approximately 1 million cubic yards of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
The oil that 'spilled' into the gulf in 2010 was a naturally occurring substance, as evidenced by how easily the environment dealt with it. And it genuinely makes sense to imagine that sub-surface events are exposing oil to the ocean on a regular basis, but we don't know about it because it's all very normal.
No, a better comparison would be to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... which spews ash everywhere on a somewhat regular basis. Ash = ash.
Unless of course you're trying to make less of an environmental argument and more of an anti-fossil fuels one. The latter is the only thing Deepwater and these coal ash events have in common.
Large parts of science are actually a cult/religion built up by the community, and discrediting one's findings by looking for plagiarism in a thesis is a symptom of that. If this were science for science's sake, your past would be completely irrelevant. Your pedigree would neither help nor harm you. Only your science would matter, and it would only matter when someone was able to reproduce your findings.
Instead we have a world where you can publish an article containing only gibberish. And not just once but over 120 times:
Like any other community made up of humans, there are Emperor's Clothes, and the degree to which the importance of what scientists publish matters is just the tip of the iceberg.
I covered your 'invalidation' already when I said 'for it to have any educational value'.
Problem #1 - 'un-networked' boxes are a fallacy. Everything is connected these days. Just ask the centrifuge guys in Iran. The 'air wall' effectively just does not exist. So if you're educating them under such a false perspective, what exactly is the value of what they're learning?
Problem #2 - hackboxes aren't targets. This would be like pinning rifles to the wall for target practice. It is again so very far removed from reality as to greatly diminish the value of what you're trying to teach.
Not everything has to be worth doing and useful to others. I get that. But these are education dollars we're discussing here, which are typically limited.
As I understand it, the teacher pay sets the maximum rates. IT staff always get less than the 'best teachers' get, which unfortunately puts them at odds with reality. Ergo 1/3 the pay.
This, because, as alluded to in TFS, it always creates more work for them. Observe:
I remember getting to set up Debian on a scrap machine in high school, only to have county IT kill the project because of the horrible danger experimentation could have proven to the network...
I'm here to tell you that an uncontrolled machine ran by amateurs is a prime example of 'danger to the network'. I still recall the day the new guy named his Ubuntu box the same thing as our domain suffix. Only because I knew what was supposed to be on the network and what wasn't was I able to get things back up and running again. The same thing can happen with a simple IP address conflict.
In short, to do this with any educational value, IT would have to segregate the network to prevent accidental student damage. From what I know of most educational IT, they lack the time, money, and (sorry to say) skills/training to do this for their production networks, let alone standing up test labs for hackers to play with.
Maybe in an IT-centric school, sure. But primary education? Puhlease.
It seems that California law is a big part of why this is a grey area. They like their income taxes out there, so they have pretty loose rules about who is a resident and who isn't, surrounding the concept of 'domiciling'. Basically the moment you 'demonstrate by your actions' that you believe this is your home, it is.
Seems like they would have squatting issues with so little a barrier, but that's the law that set up this situation.
So it doesn't seem to matter who is on the lease, just who believed that they lived there and demonstrated so by their actions.
I too suspect the motive is misplaced, but I'm assuming they're looking for a street-viable implementation and are willing to use the airports as a test bed.
Look at the requirements - they want to scan through leather jackets. Couldn't the airport just insist you send those through with your baggage?
The specs call for very little crowd participation.
Why would an attacker want to get your vial of biological agent on the plane? Wouldn't it make more sense to open it in line ahead of the ticketing counter, where it would spread in more directions more readily? If you wait until you're on the plane, you're missing the opportunity to infect the other destinations that airport serves.
Also let's not forget that the best delivery agent of biological warfare is an infected human host.
Did your Libertarian bashing get in the way of your argument, perhaps?
The biggest oversight in your suggestion here is how such security would hinder the government from issuing the kill orders without the users' consent.
You DO REALIZE this is the most logical motivation for this legislation, right? Enabling the government to silence their targets digitally prior to doing so physically? Why else would the Federal government even remotely care if this existed? Is the FBI investigating cell theft now?
One thing a lot of people miss is that Google TV isn't the same architecture as the rest of the ecosystem, so there's almost no cross-compatibility. It may as well be an Apple device, from the Android point of view.

But chances are, there won't be. The Intel rep said that they will no longer be developing drivers for it, and their new chipsets do not support it.
I could be mistaken, but I believe FDR is here:

FWIW, I couldn't find it.
site:foxnews.com "flu shot" autism
There's only one result that's close, and it warns about mercury.
It turns out there may be a way...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U...
Espescially with the flu shots as a very targeted vaccacination
I was vaccinated for this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I... - and got it anyway.
I'm pretty sure the 'target' of that vaccine is big pharma profit, because it may as well have been a placebo.
The Exxon-Valdez wasn't hauling the same thing that leaked from the hole they made in the ground...
Settling cases by 'individual whim' is the basis for these -

Because WikiLeaks doesn't exist?

I don't know where you got that, but this isn't the legal definition of 'domiciling' in California. You can Google that for yourself.
Right, I'm ignoring your point and demonstrating how it doesn't matter.
Anyone who is domiciled there can consent to the search, and in California that doesn't take much.
It seems that California law is a big part of why this is a grey area. They like their income taxes out there, so they have pretty loose rules about who is a resident and who isn't, surrounding the concept of 'domiciling'.

With the exception of the latter part, something is wrong with your device.
Yes Chrome tab casting sucks from the PC.
But from an Android device - every single one I've tried - it's like butter. Or silk. Or perhaps silky butter or even buttery silk.
No crashy crashy for me.
One thing a lot of people miss is that Google TV isn't the same architecture as the rest of the ecosystem, so there's almost no cross-compatibility. It may as well be an Apple device, from the Android point of view.
Best competition shooter ever made, honestly.
I buy it on Steam for anyone who will play it with me, and run a server off and on to this day.
The bots are even worth a go on most maps.
Taken together, this would allude to the existence of a shockingly high number of terrorists active in the US, wouldn't it?
Who would have thought we have over 412,000 active terrorists using our cell towers???
