Sounds just like high-school when I wouldn't bring a pen or pencil.
I would always tell my Teachers that I didn't bring one because it could be used as a weapon, even though it is a tool for used for education, and presentation.
This really makes me sad.
I'm not sure where you grew up or how old you were. I understand what you are talking about where a cop doesn't do anything to you unless you are REALLY doing something BAD.
But I think in some places it still works that way.
I grew up just southwest of Phoenix. I'm 21 years old and just recently moved. When I was 17 ( Not too long ago:P ) My buddy and I stole some road signs. A cop was there, turned his lights on and started driving towards us. So we tried to drive away. My truck was slow so I pulled over, and the cops basically gave us a lecture, told us why those road signs need to stay there, told us to not do drugs, and stay in school.
I really think it depends on the cop, or the cops beat. If I was a cop in Laveen AZ, I'd probably act the same way as this cop did, little crime, no harm done, " Go home kid". But if I was a cop in say, South Phoenix, I might not be so soft.
I'm not worried.
My Dad is an old fashioned hard working man. He is a conservative. But he is also understanding of others beliefs. He is the wisest man I know.
He told me one day that the point of being free, is that the government doesn't control how you live. And so far they don't.
I won't deny that it's possible. But it won't last.
My Dad owns a gun, his dad owned a gun, my daughters god father owns several guns, and as soon as I move out of this apartment I will also own a gun. Most of the important men in my life own a gun, and some of the women. I was a boy scout, and got my rifle merit badge, as well as sharp shooting, black powder, and wilderness survival. I will teach my daughter how to use and respect a fire arm, as well as any other children I have.
The second amendment of MY constitution protects me from the Government. From the Secret police, or Homeland security. As soon as people see the change happen, the people that own weapons will start their Militia's. Every able bodied man over the age of 16 that loves their freedom will join the cause. There are enough rednecks, enough gangsters, enough mobsters, and enough level headed law enforcement that would join the cause.
Our Forefathers thought about this. It won't happen, because it would be a bad move on those who decide they want to run this country with an Iron Fist.
The benefit for this technology, is for those of us MISSING bones.
Oh yeah, they'll heal themselves, but if there is no bone there to heal, eh...not so much.
A friend of mine in high school, who really is "Ubar h4x0r 1337 g33k", had a very different very on nerds and geeks. I've adopted this thought, because I thought it really, makes sense. Nerds, are very good/smart on few topics, but take those to extremes. Example: "Computer Nerd" would be really good with computers, including PC's, the computers they put in cars, computing in general. They would excel in this more than everyone around them, but that's all they excel in. They may have a few more talents, that they are just as good at, but with all this skill, everything else in there life loses attention, like sex, friends, family, love life.
Then you have geeks, very good at nearly everything they try, but not always as good as the nerd. But the geek won't let talents in one field, keep them from trying other things. I like to think I'm a geek, I'm generally nerdy, but I also play guitar, sing in barbershop quartets, play Ultimate Frisbee. I'm married, and have a 7 month old little girl. And had lot's of sex in high school.
Nerds, those whose talents get in the way of other things (That they WANT to try. This is not to say those above average IQ's that just don't take interest in sex or love.) are the ones who miss out on sex as a teen.
Indeed, it's been about 17 years.
-And I wouldn't say that 4-7 are kids books. 1-3 are for sure, but Rowling really made the story age with the readers.
Well said. I myself am LDS. Though I'm not really practicing, I have a pretty good idea of how Gods plan goes, and why it's important to attend church (At least from the LDS view). It's ok to just be nice. Do good deeds, live a decent life with out looking to a God/Gods for the OK or to give you reason. We believe that to go to heaven, that's just it. Although, if your goal is to live Gods life, to become a your own with spiritual children of your own. Than you need to follow the commands and attend sacrament. That's gods plan. Live a good life, get paradise. Live according to the plan, get Gods life.
Grand-Parent Poster: You should read the Doctrine and Covenants. Basically will explain everything that LDS members believe.
I don't know much about this stuff. But is it even something for MS to worry about?
I mean, if they put the rating on the box, isn't it the retailers fault?
On another note. Just like everyone else here is thinking. MS is going to tear Jack Thompson apart.
To avoid porn. I hate going to a.com and getting porn, all the time. A simple google search for Virginia will get you porn, all you have to do is make a typo. But with a.xxx it will make it easier to know which links NOT to click on.
I could see more bad. A car in front if me gets the signal there is an oil slick comming up, that guy is gonna change lanes to avoid it completely. I could get the signal just after him, and so on, everyone will want to change lanes. And of course if someone behind me wants to change lanes and drive faster then everyone else, sideswipes, people getting cut off, panic. It just sounds like a bad idea all together.
That would be nice. But I do tech support for DSL Modems, and the speed that they sell you is only possible to reach if you are the home that actually lives right close ( I mean with in a couple blocks) of where the dsl signal is being sent out. The speed they sell you is always an "up to" Speed.
I've had customers calling me about their Ups and Downs not being what they paid for, and unfortunatly I had to explain the geography behind it. If the further you are away from the central office, the lower your bandwidth will be.
I'm no neuroscientist. But when it comes to nerves being controlled by sound, it makes me wonder why when I hear base blasting, enough to feel the sound waves, why do I still have complete control of my body?
MAYBE they mean that the nerves are controlled by sound because the music makes me want to DANCE

Like Fuel cells? Only big ones placed across the desert, Being Solar-powered so that the can do the whole h20 to h2 and 0 splitting. I like that idea.
In the future maybe they could even move that over to a big solar panel in orbit, and use that to split water for more hydrogen to burn, or use the solar panel to power partical accelorators to make antimater, and use that as a clean powersource.
What do you think, what limitations would there be, pros and cons?
Is this an electric car ( I don't know much about different makes and models)? If so, how do you charge it? And where is the energy comming from?
I don't want to bash you, that's definatly not my intention. I was just reading about electric cars today. If electric vehicles are charged by 100% coal fired energy, electric vehicles would emit 150% more carbon dioxide, 250% more nitrogen oxides, and 2400% more sulfur oxides than a comparable internal combustion engine vehicle.

Raising the question for me. Would replacing suv's with electric vehicles solve the issue? I don't drive an suv, I don't drive at all really, I only have to walk 2 blocks to get to work. I think the solution COULD be electric cars and not suvs, but only if we can come up with cleaner ways to make the energy to charge these cars.
So far, it's been pretty painful for my sound blaster live, Nvidia 6200, and my relitivly low end comp.
But so far i've been able to find leagal work arounds for all of this (Part of it was a program that actually will make my files from a previous OS...MY FILES, as vista locks them up thinking it's used by a different user. It's my machine, let me do what I want)
So after finding a work around to all that, vista is actually working quite nicely for me.
It should JUST WORK, but the geek in my enjoyed having to tweak with everything to make it work.
I too just picked up vista, and I like it. Though it drags once in a while, and has some problems with my nvidia 6200, it works fine others. I like it. The dragging might just be my box it's self. Kind of an old computer.
I have a friend who moved here from California. No money, just her car. She managed to get a job and got a pay check, decided to open a bank account, and couldn't because her new address here in Arizona didn't match her address on her California ID. So the only way, was to get an Arizona ID with her new address on it. Which was not easy because the only form of ID she had was her California ID (Arizona Requires 1 photo ID and 1 secondary ei Birth Cert. SSC. She only had that ID.) With a National ID card. She may be able to get her Address changed on it with a couple clicks and a print.
I think the only honest companys turn out to be Mom and Pop shops that never go very far. It sucks, but you don't make money in America unless you arn't completely honest.
I even exagerate on my Resume to get the job that I CAN do but my completely honest resume would say I can't.

That's why children should have sex-ed all through out school from 1st to 12th

I just picture little carts moving into the tunnel with a constant *mario going through tube* noise. That's quite a warp pipe

Or even like a signature in our Genes. Some kind of message saying something like "Yeah, this is what I have created, and it is good."
