Don't forget the frequent Audi / BMW drivers that drive some 2 yards behind you and flashing their lights to encourage you to leave the fast lane. If you where only going 100 mph you might as well head over to the truck lane. Btw. this is considered dangerous driving in germany, caused many accidents, is illegal and happens to you about every 20 minutes of driving on the autobahn in light to medium traffic.
TAN (by now replaced by far more sensible techniques) worked like this:
You got a sealed numbered list of 100 six or eight digit codes. Whenever you wanted to transfer money you had to enter one of the numbers (later a specific one, like #74). This authorized the transfer and you crossed out the number on your list. When around 90% of the list was used up, you got a new on by mail.
The first version (unnumbered) had the obvious drawback of X numbers stolen = x transfers up the the preset transfer limit (you had to show up in person to change that one). Numbered list had the advantage that one never new in advance which number would be asked for, and a potential thief had to get his hand on the whole list.
Of course all that stuff is outdated now and replaced by code generators that work in connection with your bank card or sms codes. Both of these create codes that only work for the specific transaction (amount, receiving account number, etc which is displayed in advance) and only for a very limited time frame (15 minutes).
In that case it's almost a wonder Perl is even included.
I mean how often do you really need more than a single (or at least very very few) line(s) of Perl to get anything done?
I would rather suggest it to be the gate to the underworld.
“Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric moved:
To rear me was the task of Power divine,
Supremest Wisdom, and primeval Love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”
Also both groups have some creature sitting on their shoulders that keep on repeating the same phrases over and over. One is a beautiful pet though, while the other is usually ugly and rather vicious.
I'm pretty sure there are groups that would happily provide you with free biology textbooks. Not only free of charge but also free of evolution and the other blasphemous stuff.
That's because their copyright expired and everybody including P.G. is allowed to reproduce them. There are also many commercial reprints available.
Machiavelli still sells quite well even though it is public domain (or were you talking of another prince?)
Big business, like big labor, hates state sovereignty. It makes the regulatory environment "messy." This is why contra what most liberals think, states rights are not a racist anachronism, but anti-venom for big business' reach and power.
Actually even though big business might complain about state legislation they have no problem with setting up a department whose sole purpose it is to make sure everything they do is legal (or as legal as necessary) and meets regulations.
Now have a look at some small company. They basically have no choice but to abstain from interstate commerce once the laws reach a certain complexity. Try setting up a nationwide mail order shop for example. The taxation alone is going to drive you mad if you try to do it yourself.
The more complex it gets the more money the big players make and the less the start-ups stand a chance.
Would it be so unthinkable to have one or two judges per district on call duty all the time? It's not like other professions have found a way to do this centuries ago. It's called shifts.
When is any project ever on time? It's not like they can release beta grade software and release an automatic update to fix it later. If they mess this up, it's going to cost them and maybe, just maybe the engineers plea for proper testing has been answered (a little late though)

Thats right the minivan you heard in the news. A unique, once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history and space.
Slight signs of usage from entering the earths atmosphere make it even more authentic"
This is your chance to buy the Minivan from space[tm]
What is this "walking" you are talking about? Clearly you can not mean traveling by foot because not sane person would go that far without using a car. It would be utter nonsense to believe a normal human being could archive such a feat without collapsing.
"... there was a 3.8 kiloton explosion on the ground in California," - over a quarter the strength of the Hiroshima atomic bomb - Cooke told Spaceweather.com.
Or: "There was an explosion of nuclear scale in California"
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah "... there was a 3.8 kiloton explosion on the ground in California," Cooke told Spaceweather.com. blah....
And how many of those open source cars are allowed to drive legally on public roads? Around here they are awfully strict on ANY kind of modification/design that is remotely relevant to safety.

Except Volvos maybe (especially the "designed to save lives" campaign)

The trick is to make the fool happy with his choice and to inspire more fools to follow along his path.
This list turned into some kind of honor roll lately.

Doesn't there have to be some source at the end of the line? Even if it's just a 10 year olds facebook comment...

Maybe the just noted half the libraries were in metric
And doing it in "The Minivan From Space" [tm]
I must watch some on Youtube once my boss have left the building!
*bling* "You got mail!"
Bumblebee did put on some weight lately, but don't mention it when he's around.

That would probably be "Weltschmerz"
Weltanschauung (as posted by AC) is the way you view the world. More like an ideology, but deeper.

...well you can pretty much put the rest together.

That might even work. Not that it would happen in this wonderful world, but work it might
