Yes, but how do they prove that the owner was responsible for the toll?
Simple. Change the law. Now, the registered owner is responsible for paying the toll.
Be sure to file those papers right away when you sell a car, and keep a copy to prove that the transfer occoured before the toll was incurred. Rental agencies will simply add a clause to the agreement allowing them to bill your credit card for any tolls incurred while you were renting the car.
800 barrels per acre per year. Hmmm. US oil imports run 15 million barrels per day, or about 5.5 billion barrels per year. Assuming that the 800 barrels per acre per year is accurate (such estimates are generally a optimistic) replacement would require 6.8 million acres, or about 11,000 square miles. With water, of course -- maybe Louisiana and Mississippi have a future after all; that would be about 20% of the land area of either state.
Lets round that up to 50,000 square miles to account for support infrastructure. That's still not a bad investment for producing the fuel needed to power the USA. Additionally, consider the wealth redistribution from producing fuel domestically instead of importing it. Assuming the technology actually works and is sufficiently scalable, even the multi-decade build out required would be worthwhile.
Agreed. Judges can fine/imprison those they feel are "wasting the court's time". The patent office needs such penalties as well. I suppose it would just become a numbers game -how many successes required to balance out how many penalties...
Here's the deal though: if it's been six years and nobody's bothered to close these security holes --- and the searches still work, I just tried --- then *THAT* is news.
Finding a security exploit is not big news. Leaving a security hole unfixed for six years *is* big news, especially if it's done by companies for whom "security" is literally their middle name.
Who says its a security hole?
Do I care if the entire world can look thru my camera? Does it in any way effect the operation of the camera or of the security system attached to it? No.
Now if the camera is pointed at something I don't want the rest of the world to see... maybe I should have sprung for a system that at least requires a password...
If work and work environment are all set properly, even the 8 hours a day is too much. In heavy coding runs, e.g. I'm burning my daily brains' capacity in about 5-6 hours
++ truth
After more than 5-6 hours of real work, your error rate goes up significantly. Long coding sessions lead to long debugging sessions. This is not to say that someone can't get "in the groove" and code furiously all night long producing a masterpiece -but it is the exception, not the norm.
Indeed, I have a personal interest in good governments. I remember reading news about how California was going bankrupt, and how Schwarzenegger was planning severe all kind of budget cuts to education and other welfare. Now I read this and I wonder: why didn't he confiscated all these phones before doing that?
1. People still need to make calls. 2. Landlines aren't free. 3. Change costs money.
I had a Porsche 911 a few years back with a fob as a key replacement. If the fob was within a few feet of the car, the doors were unlocked, and automatically locked when it wasn't. If the fob was inside the car, the engine could be started with the push of a button, otherwise not. Of course there was a key as well, either for a valet or emergency backup.
But, what if you look at it, not as censorship, but as translation. Language changes a lot in 100 years, and the meaning of the this particular word has changed even more than the average. I suspect that many of the instances of the word 'nigger' in the original text are not in line with the racist, hateful connotations that are associated with the word today. It is possible that changing the word to something less emotionally charged would more accurately reflect, from a purely narrative, non-historical point of view, the intentions of the author.
And another hundred years from now, when "nigger" is no longer a racist, hateful insult will you change it back?
The problems are the cost to the developers to list their apps in all of these locations, and that the rules the various marketplaces enforce upon you as a seller can be very confusing.
I currently sell products thru amazon and several other online channels. I pay amazon.com 15% (+$1.35 per item) of all sales that go thru their channels, and $39 a month for the privilege of listing my items. And another $39 a month to list on amazon.ca and another $39 a month to list on amazon.co.uk and another $39 a month to list on amazon.fr and another $39 a month to list on amazon.de Yes, its still profitable for us or we wouldn't do it, but they certainly take a big bite.

It is important to many people, but not a performance or security related issue. Yep, medium priority.
A curious choice of words. What if somebody is a brilliant theoretician but they easily lose focus when people nearby do distracting things? Still a weak-minded, unmotivated individual? What if somebody recently suffered a loss or trauma and they're doing their best to buck up and keep attending lectures, but the person beside them surfing YouTube is the "the last straw?" Another weak-minded, unmotivated individual?
Honestly? Fuck them. (and the guy surfing you tube as well)
No one deserves any special treatment. Life is a survival game -the best rise, and the rest service their needs.
If someone is disrupting the class, the instructor should step in and tell them to get out.
If someone is not interested in the lecture, they should skip it.
If someone cant handle the crowd in the lecture hall they should skip it.
Parent is absolutely correct in that you can walk out without stopping to show your receipt/have you bags inspected and they cannot stop you without having a reasonable belief that you stole something, HOWEVER; having the alarm go off would be considered by most courts a reasonable indication that further scrutiny was warranted. The alarm may be wrong, but it is a valid indicator that something is not right.
You need more people around with the balls to speak up when someone attempts to pull this kind of stunt. Grow a spine, and stand up for yourself and the rest of the people in line behind you.

In California, the plates go with the car -unless they are special vanity plates or the like.
Who has the budget for that many technically savy people?
Yes, but how do they prove that the owner was responsible for the toll?

worse still, the design overrides your minimum font size (which is completely unforgivable), and is absolutely unusable on high dpi screens.
This is terrible... before I could at least zoom the text, now if I try the columns overlap and cuts off text.
Big suckage.

So, guilty until proven innocent.

If only he had stopped to ask for directions...

A performance of a play is always an interpretation, never an exact reproduction. That is considered part of the art.

You know I would not mind if they released it as such, but I have a problem with changing the text and releasing it as if it were the original.

weaker-minded students ... unmotivated people

If any of this means someone fails, they fail.
That's life.
because batteries are made of nerve gas and plutonium.
I wish!
Maybe we should put fewer criminals in prison and more law-abiding citizens. I'm sure they'd be much nicer places.
Just a thought.
That's how we manufacture the criminals needed to keep our prison system going.
