Many stores don't reprint gift cards if they are lost, stolen, or destroyed IRL.
They sure do. (Disclaimer: I code gift cards for a pretty big outfit.) I'd be surprised at any place bigger than mom n' pop's that doesn't cover stuff like that. They're basically credit cards now - each has an individual serial, so it's easy to tell if the value's been used. If it gets lost, you just cancel that one and issue them a new one. Whomever tries to use the old one will be declined at checkout. Simple.
Don't be stupid. They all point to intent. It's perfectly legal for me to carry a knife around. It's the point where I stab someone in the neck that's against the LAW.
Less than 24 hours ago, the readers of Slashdot launched a competition to find an editing algorithm that performs better than the official "editors" of the site. The competition requires entrants to build their comment systems based on the results of over 9,000 historical submissions. Entrants then test their algorithms by predicting the results of the next 7,809 dup^H^H^Hstories. Already three teams have managed to create systems that make more accurate predictions than the official/. approach. It's not a surprise that Timothy has been outdone -- after all, he was invented half a century ago before English had been standardized. However, it is no big surprise that Slashdot has been bettered done so quickly! The winner: Texas Instruments!
Option 3:
Make the whole thing up (or generous parts) to tell a funny little story, in a similar vein as his other, oh... 50 or so tales, and watch the outrage and moral anguish fly.
This would not be surprising. Looking at the national crime statistics, blacks commit robbery at a per-capita rate far higher than any other ethnic group. Not mentioning this information because it is politically incorrect only makes the underlying problems harder to address.
They do more drugs too. Oh, did you mean "are convicted of" instead of "commit?" How does the mortgage crash fit into your robbery rate? That was all blacks too.
Some annoyances like that here. Double-clicking on an empty page used to bring you to your home page. Doesn't do anything anymore. Flash is broken yet again (spinner forever), but I'm not sure I can blame that on them. I will anyway though.:) And putting in an incomplete address doesn't seem to automatically send you to the.com - e.g. type 'example' into the address bar. It'll do a search on 'example,' rather than taking you to example.com. Blah.
* That the evidence shows that the risk of having a crash is increased both for vehicles traveling slower than the average speed, and for those traveling above the average speed. [Of traffic, not posted speed limit.]
* That the risk of being injured increases exponentially with speeds much faster than the median speed. [Same.]
* That the severity of a crash depends on the vehicle speed change at impact. [Yeah, thanks Captain Physics. Never would have guessed that one.]
* That there is limited evidence that suggests that lower speed limits result in lower speeds on a system wide basis.
* That most crashes related to speed involve speed too fast for the conditions.
Having worked for the police in multiple cities, and for the government in many more, I can safely say that you'll never get a ticket for going 55 in a 50 zone. Yeah, I know there are exceptions, but just don't use that as an argument. It's silly and wrong.
Having said that, I agree with everything else you wrote. Some of the speed limits around here are insanely slow. Cars are different now - they can handle it. It's just the people I worry about. Everybody thinks they're a better driver than everyone else, but none of them are really as good as I am.
You can do a request which takes (24 hours? It's been within 10 minutes for me) a little while, if you're signed up for their Webmaster Tools nonsense.
They've given me just under a thousand bucks over the last year and a bit, including buying a Wii and an N900 (20% off each). It was easy to use, I didn't have any problems, and it's a shame they won't send me money to complete my shopping trips anymore, after I found what I needed with Google.
Dating myself a little here (although this is/., we all date ourselves amirite?), but when I was younger, the Amiga was in my room. For good, most of the time, but occasionally I'd wake up at 3 am and find one or both of my parents hunched over the keyboard, clicking away in the darkness, waiting for that goddamn green one to show up before the stack got too high. They had a pretty serious addiction.
This is where you put your money where your mouth is, Google. You always want chances to prove your little slogan. Here's a great opportunity to change some people's minds who think you've grown into Everycorp.
By the way -- did you know that people who use lots of hyperbole are worse than Hitler?
Hitler? They're worse than if Hitler and Stalin had a baby, and it was blessed by the Anti-Christ (hmm, anti-Christened?), and it grew up to enslave humanity and make us work menial jobs 50 hours a week and then when we got home the only thing on TV was Fox News!

Sure, that's the beauty of both the internet and humour. If you think it would be very funny, some other people might too.

Oh, you don't have the kdawson->English plugin installed, do you?
You do!

Pretty much my favourite detection system.

Poor robot.
RTFA.
Shine a price scanner in her face! That's the cure.
:-D
Then she'll be horny *and* talk dirty all the time.
And give her ebola and plantar fasciitis? Are you out of your mind?
Trying to build a monopoly! They want to have a stranglehold on the... oh. Tom. Damn.
Gimme your /etc/shadow too. What's the problem? It's encrypted.
