I just go to google and type in a lyric or 2 that I remember
That's my problem....I can hardly ever remember that there was a song I wanted to look up, let alone the few lyrics I might have heard. The only time I remember is when I hear the song again, which I'll try to remember but will inevitably forget before I get to my computer, thus starting the cycle anew.
At least with this system, you can get answers immediately. Not that I could afford 99 cents for such a service, but it could be useful if you have the money.
If the program were to show that, they would no longer be invited to film the action. Just like you never see critical reporters in white house press conferences.
I wouldn't go that far.
From what I've heard about the show (can't tell you if this is true or not), if you are arrested for committing a crime that was caught on videotape, and then convicted of that crime, the network does not need permission to air the tape.
If you are found innocent, then they must get your explicit consent, and they wouldn't go through all that trouble when they have reels and reels of convicted criminals to show.
Any lawyers/law students wanna confirm/deny that that's what happens?

No.

simply make the traffic controls go red in all directions only like in Canada. EOP Alot of pissed of motorists but at least emergency vehicles will still have the right of way
You say that works in Canada, but somehow I doubt that'd work down here. People will see the emergency lights behind them and think "oops, gotta move", then see the red light ahead of them and say "oops, gotta stop". The brilliant few who actually figure out that the two options don't mix will probably have an aneurysm trying to actually make a decision, and then someone'll call an ambulance, and it'll start all over again. Traffic's bad enough as it is.
African or European?
Eh, what's that? (whisperwhisperwhisper)
African or Asian? When'd they kill off all the elephants in Europe?(whisperwhisperwhisper
Oh. Sorry 'bout that. Now then, where was I...
Ah, right
Well, according to this sight (the first one I found on Google),
Asian elephants weigh around 5000kg/11,000lbs and African elephants weigh around 6000kg/13,000lbs (conversions courtesy of Google calculator).
At 2,251,799,813,685 lbs, that's almost 205 million Asian elephants or over 173 million African elephants. Hope you've got a shovel, some nose plugs, and alot of time on your hands, 'cause I sure as hell ain't helpin' you clean up after 'em.
These linked pages are very misleading. In the first, the chart and graph don't have much information. What do the numbers mean? Are they a scientific measure, or just a simple ranking? They appear to be a simple ranking, in which case a graph is extremely misleading, as one drug could beat out another by a small factor, or by several orders of magnitude.
Also, all 5 factors appear to influence addiction, and nicotine is only at the top of one of them. Heroin is one of the top two for every single factor on the list.
Given the name of the source, "Is Nicotine Addictive? It Depends on Whose Criteria You Use.", it seems that there may have been other criteria that was excluded to make nicotine appear more addictive than it really is. I'd personally like to see this study to see if the facts are presented without any bias.
In the second page, all of the statistics were taken from different sources. Perhaps each source counted a factor of death in a different manner. Is smoking considered a cause of death in every lung cancer patient who smoked, even if it unsure if the cigarette smoke a factor? As there is no link to the source, we do not know. Are newborn children lost due to the mother's heroin use counted? Apparently not. Should they be? That may depend on your point of view.
And are deaths really a good measure of how dangerous something is? How many people die each year from car accidents? Where are the advocates to ban passenger vehicles?
I don't smoke, but my family does, so my views may be slanted more than I realize. But these are my opinions, however you take them.

>>There are downsides as well: tougher administration, increased chance that any particular vulnerability will be present in your organization, etc.
Within a company, yes, those are pretty major downsides. But talking on a much larger scale (country, continent, world, etc.) those disadvantages are very minor compared to the benefits.
Even if large corporations stick to only one OS within their organization, they will benefit from reduced spread of virii/worms from other corporations using different OSes which are immune.

Will people stop focusing on the wrong thing (cell phone) and return focus to the actual source of the problem (asshole)?
And how do you go about solving the asshole problem? You can't outlaw being an asshole, and the problem seems to be contagious.
When you can't cure the disease, treat the symptoms.
It was called "Lost in Battlestar Trek Galactica Wars"
Yeah, that was my favorite, too.

Duh! Anything that's green and tastes like crap is good for you. Didn't you learn anything as a kid?
This is like one of those electronic probation tether things for crooks, but it reports back to Bill Gates instead of to the courts.
But since big business already owns the courts, this is just making the trip that much faster.
RC cola is better anyway.
Better than the Pepsi or the thinner?
Wait, nevermind, they both taste better than Pepsi....
