This is much the same as ads for soft-drinks etc that were placed in theatres between frames before it became illegal (except in this case it would be opt-in and therefore presumably legal). There was opt-in at the movies, too, you know.
Um... if it has a range of 1500 ft., people would activate it at 1500 ft, it would get trumped at 1499 ft, so they'd activate it at 1498 ft... you get the picture. In short, there'd be two people hurdling toward each other, hoping that the light would stay on their side.
From the parent post: But satan help you if you are caught with one.
From the article: Police are worried about the possibility of intersection chaos if people duel over control for lights. But even more fundamentally, the dashboard device may be impossible to detect even from a police car right next to it, and it may be perfectly legal anyway.
Hmm... it may be legal? Expect some interesting legal cases soon, folks.

Pondering: Since the parent got +3 Funny, which is just enough to put it above most people's highlight threshold, will he actually get any money from that?
That's about 8.62 kilograms... [lbs.]==[N]!=[kg]==[slugs]
The units of weight are Newtons and pounds, whereas the units of mass are kilograms and slugs (yes, that is an imperial unit...). Oh, and the [ ] means "dimensions of".
Acutally, that is indeed what my parents did. They removed me from school altogether. While I recognize that your post was sarcastic in nature, I do feel that our family has followed that advice. My mother got face to face with the principal, and told her what she thought.
Act, don't complain.
My mother and I did act- she removed me from the school system and gave me charge of my own education. Now, I am in college with a perfect 4.0GPA over 36 credits.
A concentration camp. School exists to create consumers and obedient citizens. Need evidence? Look at the RI/MPAA propaganda. Look at the political battles waged in the schools. In short: School exists to create, reinforce and enforce cultural norms. Any education that occurs during this process is a side-effect.
Hell, yeah, I'll complain if an ISP is hacking my computer. Even if they are doing a Very Good Thing on my computer, I didn't give them permission, and don't appriciate them deciding what is Good For Me and what Is Not A Good Thing. What next? Finding Linux on your system through MSN and uninstalling it?
Considering the paranoia of school administrators these days, kicking people out of school for wearing "Vegan" t-shirts and Pepsi shirts (no kidding!), RI/MPAA- er, the school- might kick you out of school for that. I mean, if they can kick a kid out for wearing a Pepsi shirt on "Coke Day," why stop there? Next, having a Tux shirt might be illegal...
Freedom of speech, my ass.
How long before people UUEncoded DivX files as an asininely large number of 10k text files? Good idea, but never, ever underestimate the dedication of those who want expensive things for free.
Give it up... we can't always win, you know. Do you think it was easy to make that sort of a descision? Or what would happen if he didn't? Which is worse? Running from this battle and keep educating students, or fighting Diebold to the death and having to shut down? I hate Diebold, too, but we must know when to fight and when not to fight and whent to take the fight elsewhere. We cannot fight a corporation from any one point. We must be a storm, a pandemonium, an omnipresent torrent of small voices. We cannot win except by diversifing. Imagine: every/.er here got on KaZaa, LimeWire, DirectConnect, iMesh, and all the other P2Ps sharing only the Diebold memos. Diebold could sue one, maybe two networks but, then what? Freenet and Frost. GIA. A swarm of independant voices that have no single point to squash. That is my vision.
Just goes to show how much we need to make Freenet a reality. Personally, it is extremely difficult for me to run it as I have a 10GB monthly transfer limit and a very nice bandwidth... I know I can limit the upload and all, but even then, I'd have to limit it to about 4.1 Kibibyte-Hertz (Kibibytes per second) to keep from going over, and then I wouldn't have any bandwidth for myself... if more people on my network all ran it at, say, 1 Kibibyte-Hertz, that would be fine, but I only know of one other person on campus who does.

Insofar as bubblejet circut printing goes, the circuts would have to be huge to account for the drift in the paper feed mechanisms...
Remind me not to overclock my paper on analytic processing... especially not if it's funded by AMD!
Power supply? I mean, I know that knowledge is power, but I don't think that's what they mean...

Hell, I need these today, and I'm 18...

I was tempted by all the comments about increased desktop responsiveness.
Personally, I'm looking to YWindows... love that name, too.
No, but this is post-freeze, last RC sorta news.

Uh... amazon.com gets more money that way... you aren't fighting any establishment, you know...

Well children basically have no rights.
They are pretty much their parents property, so no it doesn't violate their rights. The UN disagrees.

Moreover, they can afford "Starving Artist"...
Maybe a parent, you could take authority into your own hands instead of asking the government to do it for you... they don't care about your kid.
