They should just be turned into ANPR cameras, which actually are really useful for catching stolen, uninsured, or untaxed cars, and their drivers if they don't have a license.
Are you fucking insane? There is all kinds of diversity in the houses of parliament. Heck, there is a 45-year-old, openly gay Muslim peer ('Baron Alli'). Also the Brits had a Queen and a female Prime Minister at the same time - when are you American jokers going to have a female President? Muppet.
My Touchstone charger for my Palm is awesome. I prefer that to fiddling around with wires. You just place it on the stone, and it starts charging. Yeah, the stone is plugged in to the wall, but that's not a problem. If something is moving around constantly, wires suck. If it's practically permanently stationary, wires are fine.
Without Sony's technique, no one would be getting free electronic books from these libraries at all. DRM often gives content providers the ability to get their content out into people's hands, albeit with restrictions, which is obviously better than them not having DRM and simply refusing to offer up their content in a digital fashion. Yes, the world would be a much better place without the need for DRM, but that's not the world we live in. Content providers need to do everything they can to protect their content, otherwise they will put it in a safe and never let anyone see it, as without their content, they are nothing. DRM, in this case, is the same as the glass cases around museum exhibits. Sure, they stop you from touching the contents, but if the museum didn't have glass cases they would not put anything on display at all, as the exhibit could be stolen or damaged. So the choice is glass cases & the ability to view the exhibits, or no glass cases and no chance of seeing the exhibits at all. Shit analogy, I know. I'll shut up now.
No, most of the people who believe in AGW are climate scientists. AGW is not measured by "sensors" in parking lots. I have no idea where you got that from.
Not this ignorant shit again. You are confusing moderate Islam with extremist Islam. The two are not the same. It's not Islam that makes extremist Muslims crazy, but their extremism.
Of course you can install Windows 98 in a virtual machine, and it'll run just as stably as it did on the original hardware. It amazes me that you think otherwise, and feel the need to spew all over the discussion with your insanity.
In 1947 a C-53 took off from the US, flew across the Atlantic, and landed, all without human input. I completely agree with everything you wrote - it's madness to think this is some pie-in-the-sky SciFi nonsense.
Of course they can. Modern autopilot systems can easily handle take-off and landing. They don't, however, deal too well with taxiing, but CAT IIIc autopilot systems are not too far off, and they can do everything. Heck, in 1947 a C-53 flew across the atlantic, completely without human input, including the take-off and landing.
Not this shit again. Do you have any idea how many emails go through Google's servers each second, and do you also have any idea of how banal the emails in question are? We're not talking about a service that has 5 subscribers, who each send 20 emails a day, with one user regularly emailing the President.
Germany's Autobahn is a very modern system, built with incredibly strict tolerances. Also, the rules for driving on the Autobahn are very strict, and German drivers have a very strenuous testing process before they can get a license. Comparing the two doesn't make much sense.
I've never wanted to change the positions of the buttons in Windows. Wanting to do so seems a rather alien concept to me. I'm not saying anyone's wrong or that any OS is better than any others, just that wanting to change button positions probably doesn't matter to nearly every user out there.
"Festering mouths" refers to the bullshit they spew. The clear lies, the hatred, everything. There's a difference between having a go at public figures who incite hate, and the hate those people spew towards undeserving people.
Christ. Not this bullshit again. The original purpose of records was to serve as an advertisement for the band in question, so when they played somewhere, people would come see them live. That is all albums are - advertisements. Bands, to this day, make far more from live shows than any amount of record sales. That is one constant across the spectrum from solo-unheard-of-artists to supergroups. That doesn't change. Artists definitely should be paid for their art - that's why they play live. Being sued into oblivion for copying and distributing an advertisement for a band is fucking retarded.
That doesn't make sense. If a country is large, then it has more space to produce more products for itself. Larger countries shouldn't have difficulty exporting more because of local consumption.
Not really. I'm not going to assume anything exists without evidence for it. Yes, I can entertain the idea of said thing existing, but it can never go any further than that without faith.
You missed the part where they have to pay thousands of dollars per application, meaning most folks simply can't afford to emigrate "legally", and so have the choice between watching their families live in squalor and poverty, or try to get over the border to a life of hard work, in order to give their families a hint of a future. The bastards, right! It makes me sick!
Oh not this shit again. The weapons found among the bodies were AK-47s for certain, and there are claims from the official investigation that RPGs were found, but there is scant evidence of that. It is (and was, at the time of the video) perfectly legal for Iraqis to have AK-47s. In fact, they needed them to defend their property after US forces decided to not intervene in the rampant looting that ruined thousands of businesses and homes across Baghdad. There was no known fire coming from that region when the men were there, as the nearest troops on the ground were literally miles away. There had been fighting there earlier in the day, but as it's in a city, being somewhere doesn't mean you were there hours ago - there were lots of people around in that part of the city.
Saying "Good people do bad things" is fucking disgusting. If the people are good, then that's no excuse for their bad behaviours. And if they are not good, that gives the perpetrators the perfect appearance of being good. The crew of the helicopter were sensationalising what they saw on the ground in order to get clearance to fire. They then shot at some kids. You are a poor excuse for a human being.
Surely most people in power only care for the political status-quo for the length of their period in office. I think politicians would value their careers more than the careers of politicians to come. If that's the case, then there is no incentive to risk eating a shit-sandwich by killing the guy and releasing what could be the death of your associated political party.
He has that rather large encrypted "insurance" file floating around the internet. If he disappears for whatever reason, the key will be released. Shit got real, yo.

Unfortunately? Go read a history book, asshole. Sometimes a monarchy is better than a republic. Wow you're dumb.

Microsoft never promised to port Windows 7 to ARM.

If a fleet has autoland across the board, this won't be a massive issue. The planes are safer than the people behind the controls.

For paranoid folks, I'm sure it is.
