Where in your constitution does it say that driving a car is a right?
The liscence means that you are knowledgeable in driving the car. If through whatever means the state can take it back. If it was a right in the constitution, the state isn't supposed to be able to suspend it for any reason.
See for some weird reason, people tend to confuse rights and driving. Driving is a privilege, not a right. If you honestly think that traipsing around on the cell wont get you into an accident, your misguided.
Its been proven more and more by studies like these that there are significant distractions. Your body can only work so fast, by the time you realize that someone is in front of you, you are dropping the phone instead of slamming on the brake. BY the time you get there its too late.
I honestly think that the radio tends to become background noise. A lot of times you are listening but there could be numerous songs that pass by, that you didn't even listen too. When you are talking you are paying attention to what the person is saying to you. Even if you dont realize it. I'm not sure the statistics, but if cell phone talking takes up 1/2 of you attention, and driving takes up 60% of your attention... look out.
We have one of those portable recorders at work. I work in a theatre, and the sound guy uses them to record the performance, if the band wants it. Its a very straight forward thing.
Please excuse the following. It is before my coffee..
We have the blank media tax here in Canada as well. And it isn't all that bad. How often do you buy stacks of CD's? SO for pennies per year, the tax goes to these people. What it means is that the RIA cant go after your ass for anything because the tax on CDS. Its not like its a dollar/per cd tax. The other way around it is to buy DATA cds, which seem to not have the tax, because its the AUDIO ones that have them. There isn't as much kuffufle as one might think over this. Whats happening now is that the CRA (equivalent to the ria) is salivating at the mouth thinking at what it might have lost out. Some Canadian artists have started a website that lets everyone know that they don't feel represented.
The problem is that the tax doesn't seem to get distributed amongst the artists. Thats where it breaks down. Its up to the artists to sue the CRA or the government in order to insure that it gets divided up fairly. Its where corporate greed wins out over their advertisement campaign.
The only reason that the US joined was because of Perl Harbor. There was NO intention before that. Churchill apparently knew that the Japanese were about to invade the US, and did nothing about it. So that the US would be dragged into it. Why did French-fries turn into freedom-fries ? Why was there a big push by the Americans to belittle France and their decision not to get involved with Iraq? If you were to get rid of all things that were French, you'd have to give them that statue that floats in NY Harbor.
I'm from Canada, and all I can say is thank-god we hung up on you when you called for Iraq. We'd be up to our knees in it. The problem is that our current government is going to hand us over to you people. They seem to think that the sun shines outta bush's ass. That for some reason that no matter what the US does, we shouldn't do anything to go against them.
>>The point is, we did help and we did join in. We could only hope you would do the same when it's time for us
Kind of like what how the US ignored the German occupation of everywhere else ?
I don't get how the US seems to be the great liberator of WW2. How is it that a country that only shows up in the last year get to take all the credit??
Seems incredible that the us will look so far away when looking at how someone else lives, and not whats being done to them. Most people here said that if these measures were temporary, and that they only used them when they needed to, that is fine. Very few said that its too much of a slippery slope, and we should even bother.
Just as a quick question, couldn't something like bitorrent be configured to handle data streaming? If people didn't mind a little lag.. one might be able to make it work. As long as everyones bandwidth could handle the punishment, couldn't it work?
This is similar to a show that I watched on the difference between AK-47s and M16's.Basically overall the m16 was better, it was lighter, more accurate, lighter ammo, all that. The only thing was the M16 needed to stay clean and dry. Perfect in controlled environments. The AK's durability, and less requirement for keeping it clean and dry won out overall. It had some kick but, it would shoot trough trees. They also had a neat sound.
Same thing.. Beta was technically great but reality and reliability won out.
Being old enough at the time, I seem to recall the video-tape wars.
Sony had a better product, it was smaller and had a higher quality then VHS. It wasn't that it was inferior, their mistake was that they didn't license it.
It was shortsightedness that brought them down, much like what happened to the Amiga. If the opened up to other manufacturers, they probably would have taken Apples place, if not along side them. They were an awesome thing.
Sony lost out, only because of price, not quality. Same reason I wait to upgrade my video card only when I need to. I only spend 50$ or so. That way the ones that are a couple of hundred now.. will be there for my pickings then.
I read the link and see what you mean. I think the MS has gotten together with HD vendors. If you can get rid of anything, then you would have to buy more drives.
See, I learn something new all the time. See I had simply cut and paste the quote from google.
Therefore not really knowing what fft stood for..I simply copied what was there.
FFT;
Fast Fourier Transform - a specific algorithm, but used to indicate any algorithm attempting to determine the power versus frequency graph for a signal
Dag-nadit
Kind of when Doom 3 came out and veryone rished out to get the best video card.
Doom3: 70$
nVIDia top-of-the-line-card 400$;
The look on everyones face when they realised that the game is played in the dark? PRICELESS!!
Gandhi spent multiple years in prison, because he refused to play ball with the oppressive English in India. Me and my chicki-poo watched it the other day. Its very much worth seeing now. You can probably rent it, from a decent video store. It would be in the classic section.
His ideas involved non-violent civil disobedience. While living a life of poverty he influenced millions. By simply refusing to play ball with the ones in charge. He reminded everyone that it was more of the human relations then the relations of companies and states that were important.
Some of the ideas that he had could be applied to the so-called war on drugs. If a million people were to walk up to the front steps of the DEA headquarters, and start smoking pot in the line, and be arrested for it. They would overwhelm the system and shoe the folly of the law. But they are being held in fear of the system.

To continue the thought here.. many stores here advertise a cash price. So if pay by credit, they tell you that there is that surcharge.

As long as you have enough lube there is no problem. I mean hey now, it a lot cheaper then crack or heroin. Probably a lot healthier too..
'OMG! There are pictures of PONIES!!' MMM

It could also be called the "Republican Stance on convincing the people to vote for them'

Funny I thought that this was the beginning of Web 2.0, and the end of forced upgrades.
Guess I was reading the wrong news?
So, does that mean that Duke Nukem Forever will also be vista only?
