Please don't believe this person. You DO NOT have to identify the driver and there is NO LAW COMPELLING YOU TO DO SO. I encourage anyone interested in this subject to read this: http://www.highwayrobbery.net/redlightcamsticket.htm#NotMe
I'd very interested to see you cite the law which allows the Police to impound your car because you allegedly ran a red light. Oh yeah, it doesn't exist.
If you know you are going though an intersection where there is a camera, and you're not sure whether you'll make the light or not, simply cover your face (or duck down) before you enter the intersection. Legally, they must be able to identify the driver by their face in order to be able to issue a ticket. If they can't make out your face, they can't identify you as the driver. Even if they have your license plate number, they still can't issue a ticket without that photographic identify confirmation.
In California, if any part of your car enters the intersection while the light is still yellow, then it's "your intersection" for as long as it takes you to get clear of it. The traffic camera must show that the car was behind the limit line at the moment the light turned red.
Many security researchers agree that Windows operating systems will always be more vulnerable to malware. That’s because the vast majority of PC owners are Windows users, and that gives “the bad guys” greater economic incentive to attack Windows systems.
Thus, even though Windows 7 ships with more built-in security features than Apple’s Mac OS X, the Mac is still safer because fewer malicious hackers are targeting the less-popular platform.
Actually, the One Child policy in China has been successful, to the tune of 300 to 400 million less people than if the policy had not been implemented back in 1979.
I signed up for an account using a UK-based anonymous proxy site, and entered a valid UK postal code (which I got from a postal code lookup site). I use a free UK proxy server to run the application. As far as Spotify is concerned, I live in the UK and run Spotify from inside the UK. Fortunately I signed up while the UK still didn't need an invite to get an account.
I suppose I can agree with the summary if we are talking about the George Lucas that made "Jar Jar" -- but not the George Lucas I imagine existed before that.
For those who are wondering how to get a fake SSN from a block that won't get allocated, the easiest thing to do is just change the first digit of your real SSN to an "8" - no SSN starting with 8 has ever been allocated and likely will not be for quite some time.
The SSA needs to implement a system that links a password to your SSN. You would be able to go to ssa.gov and generate a temporary password off your SSN that expires in a few days (of course you would have to input a lot of your personal info before it would allow you to generate a password). This password could be given to creditors/businesses along with your SSN for purposes of a credit check and/or establishing identity, and it would do a lot to prevent identity theft.
I don't know how difficult or expensive it would be to implement this, but I think the benefits would be well worth it.
To me, BSG was really a cautionary tale about the implications that technology can have on a society. The show's recurring theme was "all this happened before and all this will happen again." It was necessary to have that last scene of present day Earth and our current advances in robotics technology in order to show that we could be on the same path as the humans that created the Cylons.
And yes Macs cost more and are of higher quality than bargain bin PCs.
How exactly are they of higher quality? Do they somehow get better quality CPU's from Intel off the production line? Better quality RAM chips? Hard drives? GPU's? I'm curious to know.
How did that one not make the list? I get it at least a couple times a year in Win XP. It usually requires a repair install from the CD. Very annoying.
Well,I can say I have had a couple of folks come into my shop wanting to pick my brain while I fixed their machine,and when I told them they couldn't back up their BD discs like they can their DVDs that was the end of that. Sony needs to realize that folks have kids,and no matter how careful you are kids can tear up a Sherman tank with a toothbrush without even meaning to. It would be one thing if they had made them cartridge style where it is much harder to scratch the thing,but they didn't. And even the most clueless home user has found out from their cousin/brother/uncle how to back up their DVDs so the kids don't accidentally trash them.
This is precisely why HD-DVD was perfectly positioned to be successor to DVD. HD-DVD combo discs and (and eventually the twin format discs if HD-DVD hadn't died) would have provided a clear upgrade path from DVD. It's a shame really, the wrong format won. I'd bet my house that if HD-DVD had won the war, it wouldn't be facing the same decline in market share today that Blu-Ray is now facing.
The "crash" jokes may be old, but depending on usage patterns, Windows XP still requires a healthy regimen of "reinstall and start fresh" for long-term use.
Well I've been using the same installation of Windows for 13 years now. I started with a clean install of Windows 95 and it has been upgraded to 98, 98 SE, and then XP. It has had literally hundreds of applications and games installed and uninstalled on it over the years.
I've had to repair the OS several times, mostly due to hardware failure-related crashes, but it is still going strong. I will occasionally use a registry cleaner app to de-clutter the registry. Maybe my experience is not typical, but it IS possible if you are willing to maintain the OS properly.
Your numbers on HD-DVD standalone players are out of date. Last weekend alone, Walmart sold approximately 90,000 HD-DVD players (HD-A2) in the US at $98 each. Expect something similar to happen on Black Friday.
Miro does have this functionality built in. Click on File, Options, Disk Space tab, and select a value from the drop-down list labeled "By default, videos expire after".
"Blockbuster's queue system is weak. It's nowhere nearly as sophisticated as Netflix's. Moving things around in Blockbuster's queue is a pain and it lacks features like getting a summary of the movie just by hovering your cursor over it and dragging-and-dropping movies to change their order."
Clearly you haven't seen Blockbuster's site in at least 6 months. They completely redesigned the site and if I'm not mistaken they had drag-and-drop queue ordering before Netflix did. They also have pop-up summaries by hovering over the title.
Please get your facts straight before posting.

How do they get their spacesuit helmets to fit over their turbans????

I've seen plenty of people commit crimes in front of cameras, but they usually aren't criminals, just bad movie/TV actors.
I suppose I can agree with the summary if we are talking about the George Lucas that made "Jar Jar" -- but not the George Lucas I imagine existed before that.
You mean the George Lucas that made the Ewoks???

I can almost hear the words of denial from the Mac Fanboys already. I can't hear the exact words, but I can sense the general whine.
The Mac Fanboys should actually be happy, because this means their OS is finally getting enough market share to make it worth creating a Mac botnet.

So having a strong armed forces will lead to a dictatorship in this country? Puhleeese...
And then we have Spock angry as hell (yeah, good job not showing emotions), I am trembling with fear for this movie :(
Uh, you do realize that Spock is half human, right? He has shown emotions plenty of times in TOS and the movies.

Why would he include the cost of a monitor and speakers? Does a console come with a TV and audio system?
If that were true, then why does the HD-DVD spec require mandatory support for MPEG-2 and AVC codecs as well?
