Idiotic bills like this, best thing you can do as a representative, sadly, is abstain.
No, the best thing you can do is to do your fucking job and at least slow the march of evil for a little while, rather than joining it (or laying down and taking it) for your own greed. Another term is useless if you're not helping anyway.
I don't see how REAL ID is any different that the federal government forbidding states from printing their own currency.
For one thing, the second one is actually in the Constitution.
Article I, Section 10:
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
...and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof...
Found it!
Congress has the right to pass laws according to the Constitution. Those laws that Congress and the Constitution do not forbid are granted to the states.
Any laws that the constitution allows the congress to make overrule the states. Frivolous power-grabbing does not.
But if I have to pay you it's going to be your job to convince me that I need to pay you for doing this.
Uh, no. It's your job, as manager, to know who you need and why. It's his job to develop applications. Wasting his time (and morale) to cover your responsibilities is antiproductive.
And no, being in a minor position of power does not mean you don't have responsibilities.
I know that when *I* was in school alcohol was considered completely uncool, a 'death trip' because all it accomplished was killing brain cells.
Interesting...see, when I was in school, jail was considered completely uncool, a 'death trip' because all it accomplished was stealing a few years of your life. Everyone did the only drugs that were left, regardless of the painful but much-less-fascist physical effects.
But 'do tremendously illegal things in discrete doses and carefully experience the phenomenon' dooods.
Corporations are ripping off its customers with rigged tests... I'm truly shocked.
They aren't necessarily rigging anything -- chip production runs always produce a range of qualities, and they're submitting the best they have. To not do so, especially when everyone else does, would be to sabotage your own reviews. There are no "unbiased" samples.
The only practical way to fix this is to establish a standard for what companies should send in -- preferably something like five to ten random chips that have passed basic testing.
No, it's more like chopping up a bus, leaving one passenger with each piece, and telling them all to drive to the same destination. Unless the problem actually is parallelizable, in which case you'd tell them to drive to different destinations.
Then again, it's even more like chopping up the highway into short, disconnected, side-by-side pieces, giving the group some number of go-karts (depending on the problem), and telling each person to drive down a different piece than they started on.
Where d is the distance across the earth's surface, r is the radius of the earth, theta is the arc angle around the earth, and x is the height of each tower:
theta = d/r
cos(theta/2) = r/(r+x)
cos(d/2r) = r/(r+x)
r+x = r/cos(d/2r) x = r/cos(d/2r)-r
The total number of possible passwords of length less than x is also 128**x.
Nope, not even close. The number of possible passwords of length less than x is 128**x / 127 - 1, a miniscule fraction of the number of passwords of length x.
Actually, they do. And IIRC, that's the only way you can run WINE on it.

After all, it's important to keep your test results clear of psychosomatic cancer.

Looks like the good folks over at In-Touch Technical *really* need to update their computers page
They would have uploaded a new page, but they're having some trouble with their internet connection...

What would the state have to gain by promoting global warming? Is everyone on Slashdot insane?
The same thing you have to gain by calling dissenters insane.
This is why he always refers to himself as "he". Keeps him sane.

r ~= 4000 mi., d = 300 mi., so x ~= 2.8 mi.

(This is actually a serious problem in software today. Don't encourage it.)
But only transistors can perform complex logic.
Each minute that is a multiple of 3 shall last 42 seconds, and each minute that is not shall last 69 seconds. It's the perfect system.
No, I think they've suffered enough.
Funny, I delete all phone calls as soon as I get them. I figure if it's important I'll get an IM.
Really? What's with all these glass-filled holes in my wall then?
Couldn't you make each use of the Apache API conditional upon $ENV{MOD_PERL_API_VERSION}?
What? You can't poke your head through the Stargate; it only transmits complete objects.
They could always build a few more death stars. The original movies loved that.
Six. And Star Trek has definitely earned more money...I have no idea whether it made more though.
