The button is to define the time when the incident occurred, so that you can just look it up, rather than have to have a person take the timestamp from which the ticket was printed and work back from there to find the actual event.
The problem is that you have to define "person" and "not-a-person" somehow, and "X" number of days or cells, or "if its mommy wants it to live" are not particularly well-defined legal tests.
Is one day over 8 weeks a person? what about one day after that? one million and one cells? what about one million and two?
The final test above can produce some rather absurd results, for instance. Suppose a woman less than two months pregnant is on her way to an abortion clinic for the title services when she is killed in a car wreck by a negligent driver. Do you charge the driver with one homicide, or two?
We know that some time between zero and 1,135 weeks, that collection of cells becomes a person. What event or date would you suggest is the proper cutoff, and why?
BTW you can manually add your non-privileged account to/etc/sudoers without it getting overwritten as other accounts come and go - it's what I've done for years on my various Mac laptops.
I do the same.
But how do you trick the update utility not to be stupid?
I may be setting something incorrectly, but as far as I can tell, if you're not logged in as an admin, it doesn't automatically check for updates and download them in the background, or even alert you as to the *possibility* of new updates, you have to manually run the utility, and it is not a speedy process.
No, they'd spend 15s a day pushing the timestamp button, which each time would automatically attach the previous 30s of video to the electronic record for the citation.
Just because something would be time consuming to do with the *current* equipment doesn't mean that it would be time consuming with *proper* equipment.
In many areas of massachusetts, speed limits are not set at the speeds the roads were designed for/are safe to operate at, but at revenue generating levels - speeds at which police officers on speed patrol can spend their whole day writing tickets.
Enforcement is still lax, though, because if enforcement was efficient, people would drive at the lower levels to avoid it. Effectively, mass does not have speed limits. It has a "random road tax."
It's about funding. You get something in return for your pledge. Most games on kickstarter offer the game at one of the funding levels, and swag or recognition at other levels. Many, things on kickstarter, I think, have poorly thought returns for lower funding levels (a complete game for $1? But it's supposedly going to be "worth" $40 when you finish it???)
Some of the returns are similar to donation prizes, but really, it's a place where you can say, by sending money, that this is a product that I want to be made. And the risk is lessened somewhat in that if the funding level isn't achieved, you don't end up spending the money, but not entirely in that you could end up getting something that's not worth the funding you provided.
If you were going to build the "D", I think you'd take advantage of the idea that the saucer section is detachable, and build it separate from the engineering section.
This gives much better vertical support for both sections, and also improves your flexibility with land use footprint.
Eh, if it doesn't impact the battery life much, or substantially change the device dimensions, then I don't see the harm. I know I'm tired of people pointing out my e-reader is not a tablet and thinking they're getting some kind of dig in by asking if I can read in the dark. If you see me reading it, and ask about it, and I tell you I love it, you're not clever for pointing out that I could play bejeweled if I'd bought an iPad.
A light is not enough to overcome the format issues, and general Amazon scumminess to get me to switch from my ePub native e-reader, though...
I'm not sure what constitutes cake where you live, but from your description, it sounds more like what the rest of us would call, "pudding." Or "liquid terminator"
With most western cakes, once you slice a piece off, you can't put it back.
The Fahrenheit and Rankine scales are related in the same way that Celsius and Kelvin scales are. Further, the Fahrenheit scale gives more detail in the typical range of temperatures found in day-to-day activity.
Further, there is a correlation between the fahrenheit scales and celsius scales that any third grader can calculate, so you're really just parading your own ignorance when you complain about the use of different standards in different regions. Any competent thermodynamics course will expose you to both, in part to keep you from getting hung up on the specific values of various "constant" ratios and simplified formulas.
I mean, I get the slashvertisment, but.. most of the time, there's at least something newish. Plantronics sells flimsy microphones in even flimsier plastic packaging at outrageous prices that may or may not connect to the audio jack on your device-that-has-a-standard-audio-jack.
If they don't at least have some kind of wonder gadget that revolutionizes the headset industry in some not necessarily meaningful, but at least interesting way, I fail to see the point of their presence on slashdot.
What's next? A zinc bolt manufacturer advertising their not particularly unique or inventive bog standard zinc bolts, without ever actually using the word "bolt" or mentioning or displaying an any of their actual products?
Also, I had to watch an ad before watching the ad.
On the other hand, taking all the vehicles off the road would also be disastrous...
The point is, at some point, you have to make a judgment of the benefit of having a thing (affordable cars, for instance) and the risk associated with having it. You have to put a value on human life, and it has to be normalized to the same units as the other factors for comparison.
If the car companies don't do this math, they would never make another car. There are just too many ways that people can be killed in an accident, and once you go down the "if even one person is killed or injured, it's too much" road, there isn't an answer that results in the kind of mobility we currently enjoy.
If the settlement/loss cost put too low of a weight on human life in the equation, then the argument is that the results of lawsuits are too cheap, not that the car companies shouldn't use the equation at all.
What kind of "better job" neither offers a health care benefit, nor pays enough more than your current job that you can pay for your insurance individually?
Single payer is the goal, and severing the individual mandate is part of that. The only question is why severability wasn't expressly part of the law, since the outcome of severing the individual mandate would collapse the insurance industry inside of a year - if they are mandated to cover "pre-existing" conditions, then there is no incentive for anyone to buy insurance before they are diagnosed with one.
Why pay all the premiums when you can just sign up when you're diagnosed and get everything paid for.
Of course, the premiums would have to rise to the point that it doesn't make sense to bother buying insurance even then. Then, NO ONE will have insurance, so we'll have to do something, and single payer is something, so we'll have to do that.
By not making the individual mandate severable, they seem to have unnecessarily risked the possibility that the entire law will be stricken, resulting in an opportunity for sanity to prevail.
So.. we arrest him and set bail and set him free. The only difference being that he spends ten minutes getting processed and has to either find himself without the use of a large amount of cash, or post a bond and suffer usury interest.
If it was self defense, how would that be justice? If he's not a flight risk.. why bother?
Also, how long does it take to gather evidence for a conviction? If they held a trial the day after the incident, they'd probably have to acquit - he's got a witness, after all, and there wouldn't be much time to gather evidence and interview other witnesses. If he is guilty of murder and not self defense, how would that be justice?

For now, they're both good choices. Because we need Apple and Google to protect us from the whims of the liquid bell-inator.
Why not get a B&N Simple Touch instead? As a side benefit, you don't feed Amazon's attempt to become the Microsoft Word of e-publishing.

Of course they're going to use that equation. Why wouldn't they? Why shouldn't they?
