I laughed at the bit where they say the key's RF signal only goes 7 inches. I get the same laugh when I read about those RF credit card transponders only going 11 inches.
Mine does 13 inches...
Really? But how wide is the RF signal? Because we all know it's about girth.
At least the thieves in your gf's case stole something for their efforts. When my gf's car was broken into, they smashed the small triangle window in the back seat, rummaged through her entire car, stole nothing. In fact, they even left her $1.15 in change.
Talk about a waste of time for everyone. The least they could have done was look through the window to see if there was anything worth taking and then move on to someone else's car.
If your DNA was the ONLY foreign DNA found in her vagina.. yep, that should be enough to convict you (provided there was evidence that it WAS rape and not consentual sex).
Short of violent evidence (bruises, cuts, and scrapes), any evidence you find in a rape can likely be found in consensual sex as well.
I think that's the problem, it basically boils down to he said/she said. And even then, just the accusation of being a rapist is enough to condemm a man to hell.
Maybe you should stick to your own advice about RTFA a little closer.
Towards the end of the article, the author starts his own car using a pre-determined series of control movements by way of pressing and depressing the brake, the emergency brake and the key position all without the use of the RFID. This code basically bypasses the use of RFID to start the car.
This is sort of like the U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,B,A,Select,Start for cars.
Buy stock, buy bonds, even buy gold, but don't buy realestate. Real estate only makes sense when you know the population will increase, and demand will increase. What if population decreases?
Why not Real Estate? There will always be demand for it. Simple Supply and Demand chart will explain it to you.
Since they aren't making anymore land, supply will always stay the same, or drop as people buy it up. Demand will go up because everyone wants land. So, in the end, you'll get rich off of land. Though, real estate typically has been a long long term investment.
'grocers throw out'? How many grocers? Three? Some? The average grocer? All the grocers in the US including outlying states? And - in the ballpark of two thousand, or twenty thousand?
The other reason is that it would be highly uncomfortable and potentially very dangerous to have someone asking for money from someone getting money out of an ATM.
Yeah, that would suck. I guess you wouldn't be able to use the excuse "Sorry, I don't have any money on me at the moment."
But on the plus side, when the oil runs out we can stop worrying about which muslim countries want to kill each other this week. Anyway, we're unlikely to run out of coal/methane so we can always take a page out of Brazil's handbook and use alcohol. Sure it's not the best thing for the environment, but I hardly think that will matter in 50 years.
When we run out of oil, aren't we just going to have a bunch of other problems beside no fuel for SUVs? Given that oil is a raw material for building just about anything besides gas, and coal and natural gas can only go so far to replace oil.
We need to find something and we need to find it fast. If only the world spent money on research and development instead of defense, we'd almost be living in utopia by now.
Well... at some point the computer should be able to handle most situations where we can say with near 100% certainty that if x happens, we apply y. Example: Broken femur happens, we apply splint/cast, and so on.
We will however, will still need doctors for times when the patient has multiple symptoms that point to n number of problems and solutions, but the real problem needs to be flushed out before anything can be done.
If any other organization was taking 10% of your income, they'd be called the mob, and arrested for shaking down merchants:)
There's an organization here that takes about 30% of my income, and there's nothing I can do about it. The locals call this organization, "the government". Instead of calling it a fee, they call it "taxes".
Unfortunately we can't arrest them, they hold all the arresting powers and they aren't likely to use it against themselves.
How are to ensure we have enough biodiversity in space? We simply can't just take 2 of each species and hope for the best.
What we should be doing is ensuring the survival while on Earth. We can't control external elements such as asteroids and comets slamming into us. Seems the odds are stacked against those events happening when compared odds that we sucumb to the damage we are causing to ourselves now.

In fact, I feel my nerdy senses tingling right now.
Gotta go...

Call me when starring in a porn movie can be paid more than 5 million dollars. I might reconsider my career plans...
Getting paid $5M is not very likely with more and more amateurs posting their own videos from camcorders and webcams for free/revenge.
How likely is that when everyone is screwing like rabbits!

So it's mostly just like college, then.
Yup.. just like my forced elective... "Lexicography".
No, but unless you're a pro looking to improve your game to make more money, hiring one is.
Has the thought ever occur to you that some people have way too much money?
I've seen people put $100 bets on each hand of Rock Paper Scissors without much second thought.
For normal people it would be like betting a penny.
How big of a ballpark? Wrigley? Fenway? Skydome?
A slashdotter, dating? A woman?!?!
As opposed to what, a sock puppet?
Well, the odds seem to say that it's more likely.
Maybe it can star Steve Martin and some fat guy salesman?

Doctors will never be eliminated.
Take DVDRs and CDRs. You pay more when you want to buy just one of them as opposed to buying a large spindle of 100.
That why volume sales are better.

Help us...
Bruce Lee never was paralyzed by a spinal cord injury. It was made up to add drama to the movie.
In reality, he just injured his back muscles.
Hey guys... over here!!!
There's a girl here. Really!
At least I think she's a girl. You are, aren't you? I'm
just not sure what they look like. Especially in the daytime.
Haha... that's what *you* think.
She's really a male FBI agent.

Basically, in a round about way you're saying that a titanium cockring is a bad idea then?
But wasn't that breast your mom's?
Suddenly, I feel comforted and dirty at the same time.
But if someone found a dollar, how would they return it to you without any identification?
Not just that, but at the time of getting shot by the paintball, you have no reasonable explaination that it ISN'T a paintball gun.
With the adrenalin flowing you just feel impact, and then the wet dye, prompting you to think you had been just shot with a real gun.
