I'm approaching that age and I disagree because I remember that I and all my friends were horrible drivers. Drink, drugs, speeding and just plain youthful impetuousness combined with a belief in our own indestructibility made for a potent mix. Most of us survived the experience and fortunately no-one I knew killed any innocent third-parties.
Precisely. No need to roll back at all. My driving instructor told me to " wait until you can feel the rear of the car drop a bit, then let the handbrake slowly off and away you go". Works every time. However, if I'm behind a truck on a hill, I WILL leave plenty of room...

DO YOU KNOW NOTHING!
-1 x -1= +1 is WRONG, it is academic stupidity and is evil. The educated stupid should acknowledge the natural antipodes of +1 x +1 = +1 and -1 x -1 = -1 exist as plus and minus values of opposite creation - depicted by opposite sexes and opposite hemispheres. Entity is death worship - for it cancels opposites. I have invested 30 years of my life and over 1/4 millions dollars researching Nature's 4 - simultaneous 24 hour days within a single rotation of Earth.
Yes. That's right. Thieves don't belong in jail unless they hurt people physicly. If the crime is monetary, there is an excellent argument for RESTITUTION in the form of fines and wage garnishment. There is no good argument for SEPARATION unless the guy waved a gun in somebody's face to get the money.
You don't have to be physically violent towards someone to destroy their life. Taking all their savings leaving them with nothing but debt will do it.
Time is money; money is time.
We have a finite time on this planet so taking the money someone has worked 20 years for is as bad as taking 20 years from them.
If the person who stole the money has dispersed it, then what? Threat of incarceration is a useful stick to wave in front of would-be embezzlers.
It takes a little more work than just stumbling across the new wonder chemical. These things are usually found in soil fungi, it takes a lot of work to find them, identify them, re-create them, test them, modify them, test them again, etc.
Anyone can do it. If they have the time, the patience, the drive and the money.
Look at it this way: You're a two year old. I'm the wise old grandmother who babysits you. One day, I notice that one of your shoes is untied. Should I tie your shoe for you, knowing that, in the future, you'll possibly be able to tie your own shoe, but for now it's best just to tie your shoe (a crude, stopgap quickfix) so you don't trip, given that you are currently too young to learn how? Or should I just make sure you have access to shoes and laces and fingers and knots, then carry about my Objectivist business? If you answered "yes" to the former, then congratulations on re-thinking your original stance. If you answered "yes" to the latter, however, then you're probably a Libertarian, and I don't think there's any help for you.
None of the above. You do up the laces of the two year old, and teach them at the same time the importance of having tied shoe laces. You repeat this lesson many times. Many many times. They might listen and hopefully not trip over untied shoe laces, instead coming to you to do them up until such time that they can do it for themselves. If they do trip, the lesson you tried to teach suddenly has consequences and they might really learn it this time.
We have nearly-two year old. I wanted to buy shoes with velcro, but my wife outvoted me.
Not sure how that affects your comparison, but that's what you do with two year olds.
My stance on this debate is neatly summed up by the quote at the bottom of the page, strangely enough: "In Nature there are neither rewards nor punishments, there are consequences. -- R.G. Ingersoll", i.e I counsel caution. In my experience with biotech (minimal, but I have it nonetheless) just when you tink you've figured nature out, you'll discover yet another layer of complexity.
It's not exactly a non-conforming website, more a single-platform application. Yes, they could have done better, but it's more of a PITA from an app vendor than a slap in the face to W3C standards.
As someone who had used nothing but Macs, I was intrigued when I saw a Windows user drop into DOS and type all this stuff in really quickly and do a whole bunch of stuff all with the keyboard. 'Power user', I thought.
Then it dawned on me that all he did was spend time looking for files in a directory, copy them and paste them somewhere else.
With one keyboard, a complete mental map of the system and half a dozen commands, he achieved in 3 minutes what I could with a few mouse clicks in 10 seconds...
Love my Mac; one of these days I'll have to see what this Terminal thing is all about. Or maybe not.
No way. Apple loses on hardware. And software. They use these as loss leaders to get you to buy an iPod. Which is also a loss leader. The real profit maker? Replacement white earbuds. Think about it.
20 minutes with Google and all my fantastic video expertise (!) and I can't find a thing for you. All the HD stuff uses HD Serial Digital Interfaces, not DVI (except for monitoring). Those HD boys work in a different world to us.

Firefox 1.5.0.4 on XP is fine.

Oh great. Now we are going to be bombarded with amazing stories about everyday stuff simply because they involve THE INTERNET! In CHINA!
Woo.

But since man was made on the sixth day, the age of the world = (however old man is) + 5 days.
Or do you mean that the bacteria grow ears and kidneys? That would be sort of cool.
it's for this reason that it is known as "the mister potato head of the microbial world".

Meh, I tried uploading a QT mov to my iDisk and beachballed the Finder.
Mac guy through and through, but they're not perfect, and Windows XP ain't all that bad (if you ignore the security issues).
Are you proposing that malaria be treated with penicillin?

Have I got this right: you think the kazoo would be undignified, but the shakuhachi flute played by someone named kazu is OK?
How about if the kazoo was played by someone called Shakuhachi?
Wow, that represents about 80% of my beat-off fantasy time right there.
really?

No, you bought the DVD. Unless you mean you brought it to your friend's house, although that doesn't imply payment of any kind.
No way.
Here's how the situation really goes

Not on your life, my Hindu friend!

I looked at BlackMagic, AJA and Canopus.
Capturing HD takes a lot of grunt and space.
I'll be interested to see the final answers here.
I buy my Mac peripherals (printers, cables, hubs, meece), extra hard drives and RAM from whatever PC shop is selling them cheapest at the time.
