That would be correct. And you are one of them.

Not at all. It was a cheap shot, but I am not ashamed of it.
I find it interesting that you defend a "figure of speech" when the serious conversation over this article is about the government possibly recording said speech.
Ironic? not at all. Interesting, yep. It is quite possibly the best harbinger on this topic possible.
Gridlock is a very special condition that comes from assholes not obeying the law.
Let me explain. (Long, I apologise)
Say, you are coming up on an intersection in heavy traffic. The street is bumper to bumper traffic. You get to the intersection, but notice that the lane is backed up all the way up to the crosswalk across from you. You decide "Well, it's likely that the traffic will move in a few seconds" and you enter the intersection, stopping behind the car in front of you, but you are still blocking (at least partially) the intersection. Then that green light turns yellow. Then red. You still haven't moved. To make things more realistic, lets say the driver behind you did the same thing.
The intersection is now blocked, but the driver that you have blocked thinks to himself "Oh HELL NO. I'm getting out into the intersection before the light turns yellow, because I KNOW that this idiot in front of me will move in a second" and he pulls up into the intersection.
What you the driver behind you and the driver that is in the intersection facing you don't know is the fact that up ahead there is the same thing happening, becaome some other driver is blocking the intersection as well going the other way.
It dosen't take too many drivers that are assholes to create a situation that impacts hundreds of cars over many city blocks. Bad gridlock spreads as quickly as it takes for cars to line up.
The only way to unravel gridlock is the same method that is used to avoid it. Don't be an asshole and enter an intersection if you cannot clear it immediatly. You are taking the risk of entering a condition that you cannot get out of.
Bad gridlock can only be untangled from the fringes of the locked up area one light at a time working inward.
Computer navigation suggestions cannot help with gridlock, because those that are in the situation are either the idiots that are responsible, or innocent and stuck. What it may help with is allowing you to possibly avoid a current gridlocked area.
Why do you (the music store) shelf these new "may not work with your player" disks in the same space as regular old school compact disks? They seem to be very different products. Do you stock DVDs, LPs, 45s and CD singles in the same shelf space as compact disks?
I seem to recall that in Ep4 (the original one) in Jabba's palace, there were 2 dancing girls. One was green and was dropped into the Rancor(?) pit. (2 breasts on her) There was another one that I think had 3 pars of breasts. (yeah a 6 pack) Either that or she was just very large and had more rolls than a buffet.
So how about we set a stereo system out on the front porch and shoot the thief when he sets foot on our property?
Better yet, put a stereo on the porch with a claymore mine inside rigged to a motion sensor and 30 minute timer. Let them take it. They can enjoy the thrill of theft for oh about a half hour.
I bet they will bet some serious thump out of that receiver...
This is old news in Scottland. I understand that imaginative Scotts have been giving their organ to sheep for generations.
What do you call a Scotsman with more than one sheep?
A bigamist.
What do you call a Scotsman with 500 girl friends?
A Shepherd.
Why do Scots wear Kilts?
Sheep can hear zippers at 25 paces.
Why don't Scots count sheep to fall asleep?
Because they want to sleep, not have a wet dream.
What do you call a Scotsman with sheep under one arm, and a goat under the other?
A bisexual.
That would indeed be a sad fate: to be given consciousness only to have that very state lead you to realize the inescapable hell you have been placed into.
And this differs from the "reality" that most people on this earth experience how, exactly?
Truely depressing, now that I think about it some.
Intel has a patent on the P4 bus. Intel Sued VIA when it released some chipsets for the P4. The 2 companies setteled on a cross-license agreement.
So, Yes, Intel can and has patented the pinout and signaling for the P4 processor. Google is your friend.:)
Maybye if it became vouge to utter something to remind oneself that you choose to drink coffee or ingest other body chemistry altering substances, things would be better. Maybe personal responsibility would spill over into other parts of life.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of coffee that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
I think you need to rethink what a peer is.
In the eyes of the law, you (assuming that you are a citizen of the country, and are of age of majority) are a peer of any other citizen of the country regardless of:
age (age of majority as a given)
gender
race
IQ
physical ability
amount of education
amount of experience in any given field
maritial status
sexual preference
slashdot karma level
etc.
You should also emember that corporations have been granted many of the rights that citizens have.
If one had to be tried by "peers" on say even 50% of the criteria I list, the legal system would grind to a halt even more so than it has already.
Would it be physically possible to create some kind of filter, that limits the rate/amount of photons allowed to pass through a transparent material?
In that case, everything with a normal light intensity would be clearly visible, but extremely bright light would be filtered, reducing it to normal intensity.
I don't see why not. Here in the USA, we have something similar in place but instead of it dimming exceptionally bright light sources to "normal" intensity, it dims exceptionally bright people to "normal" levels.
The original submitter of the news also should of said what the fricken thing was...instead of just providing a link. Just say what it is in the piece so people that are interested in what it is can go there, those that don't need/care don't have to follow the link...and contribute to the slashdotting effect...
ScottGant (642590) should have said what the fricken thing was...instead of just complaining about the original submitter of the news just providing a link. So people that are interested in what it is can go there, those that don't need/care don't have to follow the link...and contribute to the slashdotting effect... Like I just did!

Sounds a little different now doesn't it?

We are talking a LOT of inertia here.
Think:
Aircraft carrer meets a wind surfer.
Freight train meets a shiny new penny.
Chinese tank meets a protester in Tiananmen Square.
Personally, I have no machines running Intel X86 processors, (Athlon and C3 systems) but I do recognise the gorilla for it's 800 Lbs.

I guess this means I'm goning to have to buy another copy of the White Album.

You sir are 100% correct! What do you think are you doing posting a factual post?
(I like the word fricken, BTW.)
It's the weekend, laugh a little. With me or at me, it dosen't matter much.
