This has nothing to do with saving the police work, it's saving your own ass when you get accused. The crime is serving alcohol to minors. If you are accused of serving alcohol to a minor, and you in fact did because they have a fake ID, you had damn well better be able to prove they had it and defrauded *you*, otherwise, you are stuck.
Hey, if I am running a bar I am scanning/Xeroxing the license. If you get charged with serving the underage, and you *don't* have a scan, you are dead in the water. You need proof that you had an ID that checked out. Period. If you don't want to provide an ID, there are plenty of places to get drunk aside from bars.
161 kph = 100 mph, 320 k = 199 miles (~200). Note that it's quite obvious that the original was based on common units, and then converted to metric.
And no, of course that's not remotely competitive performance-wise with almost any car on the road, much less does it out-perform anything. The crappiest Kia would eat that alive. Even my fully-loaded minivan would be able to do *both at once* quite easily. In fact it would go about 400 miles at 100 mph (since I routinely get about 450 miles at about 85 mph, with it loaded to the limit).
That's only part of the problem. They were low/long from PDI (power descent initiation) at least partly because of the moon's lumpy gravity, that was poorly understood at the time. That's bascially right from the start. Armstrong noted this in his landmark checks all being about 2 seconds early, which is something like 6000-8000 feet.
Hey, guy, I think most of your points are valid on some level - but why resort to a completely gratuitous racial slur. Making fun of people's names is what I would expect from 3rd-graders.
Europe learned a lesson from the fascists. Curtailing free speech was a powerful aid in keeping those regimes in power.
Therefore, in order to completely disavow that era, European governments have decided to turn the power to curtail free speech towards the purposes of good. If you are a European government minister, this makes complete sense.
I stand corrected. What better way to show your commitment to the maintainence of an orderly society? After all, a good idea is a good idea ($1 to Selma Bouvier...).
If only there were some way to protect the forces of good by isolating the people who want to damage European society, maybe resettling them, or concentrating them, in a few areas where their bad and counterproductive ideas and culture cannot harm the rest of the good people.
Even the current GPS units/DVD players can easily be defeated. In most cases, all you need to do is ground one of the pins in the connector, and it always thinks you are parked. My brother has been playing Family Guy DVDs in his in-dash unit for years. The SAME Family Guy DVD.

Kodak Kills Kodachrome
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Thats just nonsense. It's will be a *very long time* before the pixels on a digital camera approach the size of a silver halide molecule. Most high-quality photography is still done on large-format film stock (Fuji Velvia or similar, in 6x7 of 4x5) which is then scanned to get a digital file. I routinely use Velvia in 2 1/4", scan it, and turn my $75 Yashica-Mat into a 55 MP digital camera. Side by side with my Nikon D90, there's no comparison in the image quality for appropriate subjects.
I believe the choice for slideshows was Ektachrome. Kodachrome was a color reversal film (it made negatives).
No, Kodachrome is a slide film, one of the first, and by far the most popular until Velvia came along. Ektachrome in the 60/70/80 s a very crappy second-rate alternative.
I beleive you are talking about Kodacolor - the original name for the Kodak color print film.
Until about mid-90's, just about every professional color photo you ever saw was taken on Kodachrome, Nat. Geographic being a notable user. It's still superior to most of the alternatives as far as raw image quality goes. the other posters have it right - the processing was so obscure and arcane that the turn around time to get it processed has been about 2 weeks, basically forever, compared to every other slide film (Process E6, Ektachrome, Velvia, etc..) which can be done overnight, and to Kodacolor and other print film (that can be done in an hour). Slide film is still a primary medium, print film was strictly for casual point-and-shoot but has been replaced by digital almost entirely.
If you are going to bring them down after 24 hours for drift reasons, there's no reason to use solar cells - batteries are dead-nuts reliable and cheap.
Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick - what the hell is the problem with the one-button mouse? I have had both and it's *just not a big problem*. It's straightfoward and always does what you expect, and if you want to change it you hit one key. That, to me, is *far* more natural than rightclicking to pick a contextual menu that changes depending on the context.
I hate Microsoft as much as any one. I mean I *really really* hate the Romans^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Microsoft - A LOT! But for God's sake, parent is exactly right - does anybody think the glorious EU (NAFTA on steroids) meddling in *anything* is a good idea, much less OS design?
1998, you mean. There was a reason they had all those banking rules developed over centuries, You can't just wipe them out with a stroke of a pen, and expect no consequences.
I don't have a problem with the.NET framework... as long as we're not heading back to blurring the line between what the browser should have access to (certain user space files) and what the browser inadvertently has access to (.NET libraries right in the kernel).
I sure hope they come up with a way to run ActiveX in Firefox, I want seamless integration of my botnet...
