I think you might have a valid point if your vehicle was parked when struck. They can probably use "implied consent" the rest of the time.
But why all the flap about "driving habits" with a 5-second data recorder? If you think they can determine your driving habits from only 5 seconds of data, you are either a truly bad driver or truly paranoid.
The Linux community responded to Eric Raymond's original post as required by tradition: "You tried to do that with this distro? You dummy, you should have been using that distro!" In all the flap, the broad point that Raymond was trying to make-that a Linux "expert" was unable to configure a basic network function using the provided interface-has been lost.
In fact, if the Linux community wants to know why Linux has not taken hold with even the more proficient home user, it need not look any further than this: Ask a question about accomplishing some task in Linux and eight or nine of every ten responses will call the questioner a dummy for not knowing that he should use Red Hat for word processing and Caldera for printing.
There's also the issue of how to send a corporation to prison.
You can't send a corporation to prison. But you can hold the board members and executive staff personally liable for such conduct. Unfortunately, I don't think that will ever happen. The legislators that will have to pass such laws are all future board members...
Since the ideology of Circuit and Supreme Court justices very often determines where government will obtrude in our lives for the next decade or three, battles for judicial supremacy are fought long and hard in the legislative trenches. But I still don't see how the government limiting my choice of sex partner is any less radical than the belief that somebody who has less than I do deserves some of what I have!
What about the case that the Patriot Act has greatly reduced worldwide airline hijackings. According to this page (in German), there has only been a single airline hijacking since the Patriot Act was passed...

Given your expressed opinion and obvious lack of knowledge of the military, I will only quote the t-shirt: "No lines returned."
As for your opinion about oil use, I'm sure that, since you don't wish to be thought a hypocrite, you walk everywhere you go, wear only hand-grown/harvested/spun/woven/made hemp and cotton clothing, grow your own food, and don't use anything produced by that same stolen oil, such as electricity and computers!
This psychologically immature/uneducated/sociopathic individual is currently wondering just why the hell he spent 24 years defending your right to make psychologically immature/uneducated/sociopathic remarks!
Analyze before you criticize-your knee, jerk, is showing...
All military purchasing is governed by the Federal Acqusition Regulations (2253 pages of Congressional micromanagement). If you want to know why the government spends $60 for a lockwasher or $900 for a hammer, this is the book to read.
It will also put you to sleep, even after two sixpacks (pots) of your preferred liquid stimulant...

There's only one thing left--the ability to make Windows Update think you are running IE!

The average power of a typical RF wave is .637 times the peak power.
If you are going to rant, at least get the facts right!
Dousing the idiot in gasoline will usually only put out the cigarette. Of course, the idiot will be rather put out, as well.
Thanks for a rational viewpoint...but you spoiled the comedic potential of the entire thread!
'cause it's funny and I need entertainment...
But your spyware is my grandmother's favorite BHO. Who decides?
