I've been pulled over twice, once was for "Lane change violations" (the cop suspected I was DUI; he even made me do a field sobriety test) and the other was for expired plates and "rude gestures made at pedestrians (by passengers)"; I also didn't have updated insurance information the second time as well.
Anywho, both times I shut off my car and did exactly what the officer said and only got one warning (the first time).
A sidenote: I only had a restricted license the first time I was pulled over, at 3:30am; driving after 8:00pm is illegal with just a restricted license, but the officer wrote my birthdate down as earlier that year (restricted license automatically becomes a full license at 17.)
Things are obvious different out in Texas-country. When I saw your post, I found my old driver's manual and looked up the rules on passing to make certain that I just never noticed the law you mentioned. We, in South Carolina, apparently don't have anything like that (in the manual, at least). I do think that that is a strange law, though.
And here I was thinking that it was the responsibility of the person attempting to pass actually pass a car. There is no reason a car should have to pull onto the shoulder, generally reserved for emergencies, to allow another car to pass. The only thing a car being overtaken has a responsibility to do is to allow you to pass without doing something stupid, such as speeding up when a car is coming in the other lane (to cause a wreck).
I believe what you said was at least three cents worth. People always seem to forget that the Internet was designed to withstand a full-blown nuclear attack. And with the other story today mentioning that some university (if I recall) getting a cockroach to control a robot, there should be sys admins if bombs are dropped. heh.
I think it's pretty funny when someone suggests local/national laws regulating an entity designed against this.
How about an open-source virus? Actually, a better idea would be to make an open-source virus/anti-virus suite. Think of the fun one could have infecting and disinfecting his system on a regular basis (without paying for either).
"I don't mind rebooting after a graphics driver update."
"I don't mind rebooting after a driver update."
"I don't mind rebooting after installing new hardware."
"I don't mind rebooting after installing system software."
I do agree that rebooting after updating graphics drivers does not really affect most home users, but having to repeatedly reboot can be rather annoying (I had to do this when installing a new instance of Windows... thankfully, I don't have to deal with this anymore.)

Who do you think sponsored this ad, er... review.
Yeah, you would actually have to have a product in order to switch to it.
There are, but they are too busy creating games

By the way, I like your sig.

Wait... just to clarify: You were buying stuff from Wal-Mart, but you don't shop there?

It's funny that they mention that the quantity of pirated software will grow, but not the quality.
You're right... that should have been "[^Nn][^Cc][Aa][Aa]".
Note: I'm not a regex-expert.
You asked for it... In Soviet Russia, ze TV restricts shoe.
I wonder if the ??AA is involved in all of this... Who is responsible for all of the illegal data that will inevitably end up on these computers...
Can you imagine one/several of these computers gets compromised and ends up an xdcc server on one of the "seedier" irc channels?
How much is it to threaten giving up Microsoft products in order to get them at cut-rate... then sell the unopened products at an inflated value?
