In IL there are stop lights on some highways. With the max sitting at 55mph. But if everyone is going 85, you must either go 85 or change lanes. There is actually a law mandating this.
There are something like 23 states where by going 65 you would be breaking the law. Illinois is one of them. The reason is that you are holding up traffic and being unsafe.
Uh. Are cops paid commission on speeding collars? Didn't think so.
They are paid indirectly through all the tickets that are payed. And in Northbrook, IL(dont know about anywhere else) the cops have quotas of how many tickets they have to give. Thats why its always less safe at the end of the month.
I live in Chicago. I drive on a street called Touhy. The speed limit is 30, in most places. If you drive exactly 30 you will get green everytime. So I drive 65 also get green everytime.
No it was posted by someone who has no idea about anything. Never taking economics. Thinking MS has all the money in the world because thats all they see.
Those mountains are about 2 hours away from their headquarters in Canada. I skied on them a year back, they were excelent. Went all they way down both of them, completely amazing. Anyone who likes skying has to go there.
I dont have ABS(91 Corolla), never had, and hopefully never will. I have never been in an accident. Ive found that locking wheels at high speeds(80+) is perfectly fine. The difference is that some people lock their wheels when they are about to run into someone is nerves. They arent thinking and just reacting. Locking my wheels has just recently probably saved my life and my car. I was driving around 70 and someone went straight into my side(drivers). There were trees and the curb on my right, so I couldnt go anywhere. I locked my wheels and turned my car with the front facing at an angle into the curb, leaving space for his car at the front left of mine. My car slid at that angle for a while until the idiot sverved back into his lane. Then I regained control of my car. Being able to remain cool in that situation saved me. BTW I had 2 other people in the car at the time, there was heavy traffic all around us(this is Chicago so it was mostly tailgating).
Thats a hard call. What if someone comes into the parking lot and you dont see them. Same reason why they would give you a ticket for going backwards on a highway when there is no one else there. Now if the parking lot is closed off, and there is no way the cop can get into it, then you might be right.
When I went to traffic school for a speeding ticket, the teacher said, "Everyone who has been in a car accident, raise your hand". Pretty much everyone raised their hand. Then one kid said, "You mean with other cars or trees and ditches?". The teacher slowly said, "With other cars". The kid slowly put his hand down.
scientists, like most people, are more interested in being right
In the 60's everyone believe that the human genome had 48 chromosomes. There were tons of studies to prove it. It was taken as fact for years until a couple of scientists actually counted them again and found only 46. They then went back to the old studies and again found only 46.
Are you a programmer? Have you ever written operating systems? Designed computers? I am a computer engineer and I have done both. Computers can be completely secure if u dont have an idiot sitting behind the console.
No matter how cheap you make it, there will still be some people that for some reason or another cant get the coverage. I dont know which way is best, but both systems have their downfalls. The reason our system is so good in the first place is because of our large investment in technology. The health care itself is better than most countries but the system by which it works is horrible.
A while back I heard a story of someone bleeding to death next to a hospital. And I mean literally in the alley right next to it. People in the hospital knew about it. This person just lay there and died, people kept running back and forth between this person and the hospital. Asking them for help. But this person didnt have insurance, and the Doctors were unwilling to even come near that alley. After a while someone stole a gurney from the hospital and brought that person over. But by that time it was already too late. This is a major problem. When legal precedents come before the helping of fellow human beings.
Or another scenario, when someone without insurance comes into a hospital for an emergency and is asked to pay 100 grand for a few minutes of work. The hospitals overcharge for everything in times of emergencies. They even ask for the full prices of the towels used to clean you up(~20.00).
What about the library argument by the judge. In that case we can find out exactly who is sharing and who is copying. He seems to believe it is legal in general not just on the grounds of insuficient evidence.
On the other hand, it may not be that valid, because to actually photocopy an entire book would be prohibatively expensive. Where as with P2P whether you download an entire album or just one song its the same cost. Free.
No its the same. To buy a computer costs around 400 American. Same as photo copier. To get DSL in States is around 30 per month. Covering costs of paper. Therefore costs exactly the same.
Looking at the track record of out Gov't programs ie food,Iraq(dont even need to provide link). As far as Im concerned, the gov't should just stay out of it.
Maybe free in a sense that if we dont take things out from the library we would still be paying for them with taxes. By taking them out we are just utilizing a source already available to us. And many people donate to the library, including old CDs.
This is exactly what I hate. Its not that simple. When you tax more, you take money out of the economy. Less money in the economy lends to a slowing down of the economy. Republicans usually like to speed up the economy through smaller taxes. Democrats like to speed it up by setting up more gov't jobs and changing bond percentages and bank lending factors(dont remember what those are called). But hey, your uninformed view counts as much as mine so who cares.
I suggested this before. Was modded to -1 troll, but whatever. Turns out he sponsored an anti porn week of some sort. And supported some suit against a woman selling dildos.
I would vote against him, but my vote wont do anything. I live in IL and there is no way in hell he could get elected here.

But MS is a convicted monopoly. They cant do everything that Apple can. An average business practice might be legal for apple, but illegal for MS.
You are dumb. Please never have children. At least go to High school before makig such stupid claims.

First, there is no way you are a guy.
Second, learning how to slam your breaks over and over again will not reduce the distance it takes your car to stop.

The judge compared sharing to having a copy machine in a library. So the answer is no.
Dont give them any ideas.

Well its now 10am and Im on my 5th cup of coffee. Time for my cigarette break.
Socialized health care.
Ohh crap. Tripped down stairs. Leg hurts like hell. Time to go to a doctor.
Me: My leg hurts.
Doctor: Stay off it.
Me: How much do I owe you?(after paying bill I apply for Chapter 11)
Pleast do not say litigious bastards without the word SCO anywhere near it. It may decrease our google standings.
