I *swear* this is how one of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's schemes got started....
"It all goes back to when I was a child in Druselstein. My parents couldn't afford a magic marker and index cards, so they tried to get the school board to subsidize a GPS-based Child Locator System. And all the other kids laughed and laughed and laughed.... so now I have made my SchoolBoardAnalRapeInator to get my revenge on those idiotic school boards once and for all! Muahahahaha!!!"
Not paranoid enough. Your index card system relies on teachers, teachers aides, drivers -- the original poster wants to rely on nothing but technology.
1) The idiom is "bare-faced lie". As an expression, it predates the existence of movable type. 2) Must be a really slow bus if it would take 20 minutes to drive 2 miles.
The satellite is continuously broadcasting time and location signals. Your receiver has to receive those signals. In heavy traffic areas, the signal may be harder to get, not because the satellite is busy, but because reception is worse -- more buildings, for example.
There are exactly zero trains in the US that average 170+ mph. The fastest train in the US is the Amtrak Acela line, which reaches 150 mph, occasionally. Most "high speed" rail in the US tops out at 80 mph.
Ask again in another decade, maybe the answer will be different.
If the majority of his driving was non-work driving, your figures fall flat. One wonders, however, where the hell he was GOING with over 15k of non-work travel.
Complaining about cost of implementation, the enforcement date of the rule has been pushed back to August 1, 2009 to give businesses and institutions time to implement identity theft prevention programs.
I hate it when enforcement dates start complaining on their own.
I hate it almost as much as when participles start dangling right in the middle of sentences, in full view of children.
Absurd yourself. The feel of fabrics washed and dried without fabric softener in either cycle is noticeably harsher than those washed or dried with them. I can't point at a double-blind test but I'm confident that it would rule out the null hypothesis handily.
It is a direct correlate to the financial meltdown: it is a political meltdown. The political class has become too powerful, too insular, too overconfident, and too stupid. And just like the financial crisis, this is a worldwide phenonmenon, ranging from the Taliban to the Australians to the Danes. There is no escape.
Just before 2:00 AM on Feb. 26, the first 192-beam system shot to the center of the National Ignition Facility Target Chamber was fired, marking the unofficial completion of the NIF construction project. An average of 420 joules of ultraviolet laser energy, known as 3Ï, was achieved for each beamline, for a total energy of more than 80 kilojoules (a joule is the energy needed to lift a small apple one meter against the Earth's gravity). The shot cycle preparing for the shot ran smoothly. All data were acquired and were nominal.
See? The energy of the LASERS BEING FIRED consumed 80KJ. There wasn't even any fuel in the chamber -- this was solely a test firing of the lasers. NO ENERGY WAS PRODUCED AT ALL.
This is a great milestone for the project but please, let's hold back the accolades!!!
Perhaps you have never had a close relative die on you. Rationality and cold calculating decision making is NOT common. Even years later.
However, I hope it is many years before you learn this fact firsthand.
"Nope. Never." is an amazingly appropriate title for a post that recommends you read James P Hogan. Hogan's work sucks ass and his personality is worse.
I am going to put an opaque sticker over my address on my driver's license. That it is an official ID and has my name and photo should be enough for any purpose, and if a cop should need to see my address (though I'm not sure he's entitled to, I probably wouldn't argue -- I'm not that strong-willed) I can easily peel it off.
IT DOESN'T MATTER. Practically everyone has/bin before/usr/bin in their path. My script tests/bin/emacs just to make sure it's not clobbering anything for good. Then it creates an emacs-hiding script in/bin, where it will be found before/usr/bin.
I would have thought that by paying attention that would be obvious.
Vim also has a tower-of-hanoi simulator script. And a Turing machine simulator script, for Pete's sake. So what?
It was easy to use up ALL of your HMA as well, if you had lots of stuff to load. "High memory area" doesn't mean everything over 640K; it means specifically the 64k just past one megabyte.
80 column ASCII terminals older than the VT100 included many brands: WYSE a large player among them. IBM Couriers are even older, and they were ASCII, although they usually talked to EBCDIC hosts. 80 columns were on punched cards. 80 columns were on typewriters, as someone noted quite rightly above. DEC certainly didn't invent 80 columns and it's evil to try to give them credit for it.
Forgoing the ancient history and returning to terminals, I used a good dozen different brands of ASCII terminals in college. None, repeat, none were DEC VT100s. I think there were some DEC VT52s, but most were not.
I still hate VT100 escape sequences. WYSE was much much more reasonable. I cannot fathom why MS-DOS ever included ANSI.SYS; I would dearly like to steal a time machine and murder whoever decided that all escape sequences have to have a [ character in them.
Please check your statistics. And your medication. You are actually asserting with a straight face that 99.99% of the population of the US desperately needs their cell phones, every day, all day, and couldn't even deal without them for the few months it might take for a general strike to have effect? Maybe we're further gone than I thought.

AC stated that the stop at "Rachel's house" was the driver's LAST STOP.

I find it impossible to believe that, short of heavy city traffic, public transportation is EVER quicker than travelling by car.
BZZZT, faulty use of numbers.

It's equally simple enough to block ssh and remove access again. Like spandex, the Internet is a privilege, not a right.

But if there is hope, it lies in the proles.
Will it end with gouging out everyone's eyes? Or will it continue until spatial relationships themselves have been outlawed?

OK, hotshot, normalize away the nulls in an outer join then.
resultset = sql("SELECT A.Name as Dad, A.TaxOwed, B.Name as Son FROM Parents as A LEFT JOIN Children as B ON B.Parent = A.Name")
while(resultset.next())
if resultset["Son"] is null
print (resultset["Dad"] + " has no children but still owes tax")

Considering that Turin ends up shtupping and impregnating his sister Nienor, almost apropos.

The annoying thing about ABP is that it is not obvious how to add my own blocks and not have them erased every damn day. So I went back to adblock.
