When they aren't required, it is harder for the police to force you to show them. In the US, if you aren't driving a car, then you don't need to carry anything showing who you are.
I am currently living in Japan, so I have an ID that has my identity, and I am required to carry that (or my passport) on my person at all times. This means that if a police officer stops me, they can require my producing identification documents.
Having a standard format for an ID maybe be useful, but then the next step is to require people to carry it, and then making it a crime to not present that to a police officer when requested.
open regedt32 and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
then add a binary entry called Scancode Map with a value of 00000000 00000000 03000000 3A001D00 1D003A00 00000000
How about doing that per user? Or computers where you can't edit the registery like that? That is one of the main reasons that I preferred using the Linux based computers when I was at college and had to use a computer in a lab.
I would disagree with that. Temperature gradient would be a useful measure of how good insulation is, so degrees/length actually could mean something useful.
It is something that you could ride; wouldn't it be better to ride a female?/Going for a strictly funny mod with this comment.//Real reason is probably the same way that ships are referred to using feminine pronouns.
Breast physics are important for making characters look more realistic. (Well, the same math could be applied to other fatty parts of character models, but that isn't nearly as interesting)
Of course, having fully interactive character models would require tons of collision detection, math to compute the results, and keeping track of the deformation of the model relative to the possible deformations. Until it is perfect, it seems that we are headed into the depths of uncanny valley.

Except that the sensor size in the GH1 is much smaller than that in the 5D, so if you want to use a smaller DOF, you are going to have more problems on the GH1 than on a 5D with something like a Canon 85mm f/1.2. That same lens on the GH1 is going to be much less useful.
It is amazing how many drivers here in Japan (specifically near Toyota City, but I assume elsewhere in this country) are watching TV while driving. Add in texting on a cell phone, not wearing seat belts and things get more dangerous.
If your XP box has been on for 4 months without rebooting (and somehow not crashing) I imagine a reboot would solve some of these problems.
NO.
If I reboot, and let the system run for a further 4 months, would the symptoms come back?
Then the problem didn't get fixed.
A reboot can definitely alleviate symptoms of a problem, but if it actually solves a problem, then there are more issues at play.
Fixing a problem means that it wouldn't happen in the same way again. In your example, fixing the problem means that the issues wouldn't show up after 4 months of uptime.
Definitely environmental issues could be a problem that manifests symptoms that can be alleviated with a reboot. I would look at noisy/crappy power before heat, though. If the computer is on a power conditioner/UPS, that generally eliminates issues related to power.
Sprint absorbed Nextel, which isn't CDMA or GSM, but is iDen. They are phasing it out, but last year I got what turned out to be a Nextel phone from Sprint since CDMA doesn't interfere with radios as much.
iDen is similar to GSM in terms of interfering with radios.
So whenever he made stupid requests we began filling in the problem report for him and describing in detail how easy it was fix, like if he had just restarted his computer, closed down maybe ten of the 40 apps he had open or if he had just restarted his app.
None of those would fix the problem, they just alleviate the symptoms.
Fixing the problem would be applying a patch that solves the issue, adding more memory/swap, replaced unreliable parts, etc.
If rebooting alleviates a symptom, then it might come up again, so the device is still broken. It is just that with Windows/closed source software it is hard to impossible to fix the problem, so people have gotten used to thinking of the symptoms as the problemn.
I have machines that I can use to proxy for me in the States (SSH has a built-in proxy that is very good), but that shouldn't be necessary.
This is another case of pirating being more convenient than trying to do things legally.
If I pirate, I can use all of my local 100Mbps internet connection, but if I try to legally get songs from the States, I am stuck with much slower connections, having to mask my IP, and then not being able to keep the songs in case that fragile connection goes down.
Here at Spotify we believe that Everyone Loves Music, that's why we aim to legally bring all the worlds music to everyone, everywhere and are currently working really hard to achieve this. With Spotify free service plus a variety of flexible subscription options to suit every lifestyle and budget you'll find we offer everything you need to get the most out of your music.
Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions we are not yet available in your country. We understand that you are currently in Japan (your IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). If you believe we have made a mistake, we apologize and ask that you please contact us at xxx@xxx.
By that reasoning, you can't buy any night-time medicine.
Oh, those are sold over the counter, and would really affect your ability to drive.
And then there are tons of currently prescribable medicines that would impede someones ability to drive, usually coming with a "Do not operate heavy equipment under influence of this drug"

CENSORSHIP can be done by ANYBODY.
It is just usually more legal if done by a private organization.

Except that allows governments to hide more and more tax in the price.
Yep, the key to the left of "A" should be Ctrl. That is one think about the OLPC XO-1 keyboard I like. The actual keys are crap, though.
They had laptops or typewriters with function and modifier keys in the 19th century?

It means you need to watch more movies
Its ok, you can take your agression out on the printer.
Even when it is produced by the "child" that is the subject of the picture?
Prosecuting someone under 18 for sexting using the current CP laws means that the punishment IS the abuse.

Yep, the trick is: what base?
Just remember, nobody jokes in base 13.
NO.

Why would DRM be listed as a "feature"?
Oh, wrong kind of DRM?

In most of the window managers I have used, if you hold alt, dragging anywhere on a window moves the window.
Having the OK buttons off the screen is a very bad design, but it can be worked around.
Why is there such a huge demand for murder simulators in the US?
Why are some crimes forbidden to simulate, but violence, shooting people, and murder are fine?

That is just how funny XKCD is, even linking to the relevant strip gives you a Funny moderation.
Or we could have giant hemp farms to harvest fusion power from the nearest star, and then burn that in a hemp/steam power plant.
Bonus oil for biodiesel.
Currently easily feasible, no need to invent stuff that might not work.
