before too long there'll be RFID tags embedded in the number plates
Actually, they ARE in there. I microwaved a stack of license plates and my microwave just about exploded. Obviously the goverment trying to hide the evidence.
Indeed, I hail you as the new Avocado king! Most likely, the demand for Avocados in CA is relatively inelastic (a decrease in price would not increase sales). Seriously, that book I mentioned... it's pretty good. No foolin'.
That's cause we send you the smelly ones:) Seriously though, it might have something to do with freshness, and you have to compare specific brands as well as seasonal fluctuations. Ok, I just realized that I'm actually responding to an OT post about apocados. So, I'll conclude with a book reccomendation: The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death
This isn't a downside of the voting machine itself. It's up to the person inputing the candidate info to leave a "abstain" or "no confidence" option. Surely the software could support such an option (even if you had to hack it by putting First Name: No, Last Name: Confidence)

And apparently being a computer programmer does not entail hacking into the Pentagon ever couple days... right?... guys?.... is this thing on?
We also use biological analogies to explain the workings of digital systems. How many times have you told someone that the computer is "thinking" or that it has a "virus". This kind of thing goes both ways, I think it's mostly out love for analogy in general.
I almost want to say YHBT, but I'm still not sure. Don't forget that the amount of data you can put on a carrier (generally) scales linearly with the frequency of that carrier. So yes we want to go through walls, but we also want fast connections.
Most males come up with this solution, but it's easy to forget that women usually keep their phones in handbags, etc. Vibrate modes don't often have enough power to get noticed in there. Maybe they need some kind of bluetooth pin/hair clip/accessory that girls can wear and will vibrate when the phone in their handbag receives a call?
Slightly off topic rant: My GD Verizon phone has three modes: ring, vibrate, ring then vibrate... but where's the ring AND vibrate mode? Are they worried about current draw? Cingular phones can do both. That's the best of both worlds, cause sometimes you are in a noisy place and can't hear the ring.
You were misinformed... maybe that is true in Folsom, maybe you misheard them, maybe they were just plain wrong. But in general, California law does not allow one to turn right on red without stopping. Sorry that I misunderstood your comment.
All 50 states have laws allowing this, barring a sign or local law that countermands the policy. http://freespace.virgin.net/john.cletheroe/usa_can/driving/right.htm (many other sources but I just picked the top google choice)
Unfortunately, there have been studies that show that drivers will drive at what they consider a safe speed regardless of the speed limit. Tickets are less of a deterrent and more of a revenue source for underfunded municipalities.

Fuck the founding fathers - the real question is whether or not we find the practice acceptable now!

So give us details, man! Address, SSID, encryption key. I'll submit the story myself.

Actually, I want to see Michaelangelo's original Photoshop layers and filter ordering as well as Dickinson's MS Word changelog.
Because the 17 year old female employees are much more attractive than to 30 yo AutoZone employees.
iPod Std = 1.8" drive
iPod Maxi = 2.5" drive???
Actually, let's not go there.
Isn't VCD a more complex algorithm to decode since most (many?) video cards have hardware MPEG-2 decoding?
The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers!

If you can crack 256 keys a second, then it takes 0.00390625 seconds to crack the algorithm. That's a pretty crappy algo.

Yuk yuk, very apropos double entendre.
And it applies to stop signs... Californians don't generally run red lights as often as Massholes.

You forgot the part about me being an insensitive clod :) Of course, your comment also lends creedence to my statement.

Good thing they don't have a zoo. How would the Cheetahs pay their fines?
If I saw an orange light on a traffic light, i'd go get my vision checked.
