If this is implemented and works well, eyewitness testimony will become a lot less important, and this will probably be just as important as DNA evidence.
But I would hate to be wrongly accused by one of these things.
You can always count on the obligatory "what happened to don't be evil" post when the subject is google and they've done something that doesn't align with our society's ideals.
Every time you fill out a job or college application, you have to fill out a bunch of stupid pieces of paper with information that you shouldn't have to know, like your name, birthdate, and so on. Maybe this database could lead us down the path to greater efficiency, but in the end it will probably be more of a benefit to private corporations, which would have more use for it than the government.
What about unwitting terrorists? People who think there is nothing wrong with their bags, but they are actually knock offs given to them as gifts. And these knock offs were purchased from street vendors whose profits went to terrorism? Huh? What about them?
Every answer was wrong. Every one. By the time I had ticked off the 30th incorrect answer, I was practically in tears. I felt responsible, somehow, for the problems on the page.
I just figured out what makes some teachers really bad at their jobs.
...when John Kerry conceded. They've moved on with their lives, and the ones who haven't get made fun of by pretty much anyone who feels sore about life in general. (Perhaps their childhood passed them by too quickly, and they wish they could live in the past like crazy democrats.)
Since Berkley is known as a liberal school, this will just be another quick debate on Crossfire, the kind that gets Jon Stewarts feathers ruffled. People won't care, because they don't want to care.
If you call proceed and the thing craters, you're going to be the guy whose screwup killed two American heroes.
Don't worry. Had something bad happened, there is no doubt that somehow, somewhere, evidence that they were Russian spies would have surfaced and made its way to mainstream media.
I realise this issue is conflated with the number of deaths in an instant too, but i think one of the key "shock" factors is the helplessness of the passangers
And also, we rationalize most accidents as the fault of the driver and in some cases the passengers distracting him. People think "this could never happen to me, because I'm a good driver." This way, people still have the courage to get in the car and go to work every morning.
Since almost all autonomous vehicles would be identical, a single accident would be terrible for the entire economy, not just the industry. That's why the government will probably "quarantine" anyone involved in an auto accident. Just don't expect to see those people again.
On one hand, this show might prevent potential murderers when they remember how CSI is omniscient. On the other, someone might study the show in preparation to murder another person.
See, the CSIs aren't perfect. They miss things. In fact, a few weeks ago, one of the characters' home lives is falling apart because of her dedication to her job. I wouldn't exactly call that glamourising the profession.
The damage is done. People who would have otherwise made a smooth transition from high school to McDonald's will now make failed attempts to become crime scene investigators.
They're at a boring lecture
They've cut off their own body parts
And they're going to be in trouble because the authorities think they're still at home.
That was the first day. They were too groggy from the anesthetic to realize they didn't have to go to school anymore. The next day they put all their fingers in the smart kid's backpack as he waited at the bus stop.
Flash cartoons are a hot item in entertainment these days.
If you recall, the original http://jibjab.com/ cartoon featuring George W. Bush and John Kerry was such a big hit that they played portions of it on cnn and almost every news organization. Afterwards, they made a sequel that the Tonight Show with Jay Leno secured the rights to premiere. You can now buy them both on DVD for $10, although I doubt they'll last very long since they're meant to lighten a certain political mood. (I don't know how much they paid for this, but it was definitely worth it. Funnier than one year of his show combined.)
Also, the creator of the hugely popular "The End of the World" was asked to make a series of advertisement flashes for nike.

We need to have BAD THINGS happen to politicians and other government officials when they sell us out to the corporations.
That's probably what Timothy Mcveigh said.

Just be glad they don't kill babies...yet.

Or nightmare?
If every single person had one internet identity that could not be altered, perhaps society would punish crackers more severely.

I made some revisions
In tech-savvy Korea, discriminating against high slashdot UID's is for the elderly.
In Korea, lying is for the elderly!
I think this sounds better.
It might happen, but the phrasing needs work.

The foremost question on my mind is, "Who the fuck would want to copy a ford?!"
If everybody thought like that, the solution to stopping piracy would be to create terrible products.

No, but the president is working hard on new gumdrop and sugar plum legislation.

Did you honestly believe the behemoth media empires would allow their business model to crumble at the hands of thousands of third world laborers?
Right, and once kids figure out where the tags are, they'll start showing up to school with missing fingers, arms, and legs.
+4 funny? More like +400. Well done, sir.

Not _that_ phalllic - the thing will be paper thin and a meter wide. Unless you have odd notions of 'phallic', and if you do I pity your wife.
