Cost vs. benefit... You and GP deem it as pointless, but educating people about climate change and getting governments to align is worth the net cost. The only way you can get world governments on track with the program is to fly delegates out to these places. Simply existing contributes to GW and environmental impact, but that's a cost I think we should all be willing to accept. Pointing out hypocrisy where none exists makes you and the OP look foolish. That's why you you got downvoted.
I bought a pair of New Balance brand trail sneakers and found the quality I got at Amazon to be disappointing, so I returned and went to a brick and mortar store instead. This being New Balance every shoe has its own number so I knew I didn't want that same version of the shoe. I went back to Amazon with the numbers that I thought were well made shoes and not one was available on Amazon.
I don't know if this is specific to Google maps on Android, but when I have the GPS turned off the wireless triangulation is off by at least a half of a mile every time. Makes me wonder if I get in a car wreck in a ditch if they'd really be able to find me.
I suspect most Slashdotters better go to school if they haven't! Jimi Hendrix is coming of age timeless music. It's equivalent to reading Catcher in the Rye.
What's causing traffic is the drivers in the other lanes that do not let or make difficult for the other drivers to merge. It's more efficient for traffic to merge in one point (preferably the end) than to merge at a bunch of different points over that 1/4 mile. Like a zipper! This is why you see solid white lines before merge points at interchanges.
The ID scan itself is already of shaky legal status, but the most troubling issue here is that the ID information from the scan (name, address, etc) is retained by the club in a private database.
I have received junk mail as result of my ID being scanned at a night club in PA. Luckily that night club has since closed and I no longer receive it. Ironically, they had to close because of fines from serving too many underage drinkers over time. They also lost business because of regular police raids. Who wants to keep going to a club where there buzz is killed from a police raid.
Just like using a calculator in math class... it's how you use the tool. I turn off the voice on my gps in areas I'm somewhat familiar with, but would like to learn the streets better. I turn it onto the bird's eye view to get more of a feel for which direction I'm travelling (don't look at it enough to get my eyes off the road). I use the displayed turn by turn direction at the top to know what the next road to look for is (do not look at it again until I need to know the next turn). GPS is a guide for me not a crutch.
Incidentally, I was thinking about buying my Dad a GPS for Father's day last month, but I know how much joy he gets from giving directions to other people.
Exactly. I can think a house is beautiful if it's sitting on a large acreage farm by itself, but put the same house in a subdivision on.25 acre lot where every other house in the neighborhood looks the same... not as appealing.
You can do what my manager does. Although not the norm in my entire company he became a resource manager in highly technical group. He as a resource manager has his responsibilities in that arena, but he continues to code and prototype small aspects of the product anyway. This gives him plenty of technical perspective to drive major technical decisions in the product. This probably makes him more busy, but I think his perspective helps him understand what is really going on. ALSO makes it harder to get away with stuff.
Probably not to the extend you desire, but it is already this way somewhat. Diesel is taxed more in the US and most users of Diesel are tractor trailers (I know not fair to people with Diesel VW Jettas). Also last month I bought a beater Ford F150 as a backup vehicle and trips to Home Depot and back. I was surprised to find out the vehicle registration fee was double the price of my commuter car.

What was specifically said that you believe to be a fabrication?
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Cerebro has prior art.
I think most of the noise is from other sources anyway... like this
I speak standard non-regional American dialect and still same results. I'm Ron Burgundy?
Humor comes from sorrow. Its a sad reality in prison. Why are you so judgy?
I didn't realize what the hub bub is about until I clicked on the beta link. I'm not even the picky type and all I could say is wow this sucks!
Urine trouble now!
Funny I read it as them launching drones for the purpose of hunting them. Could get the missing Vegetarian market involved in the hunting sport.
Didn't I read this article before?
If they could get Jack White on board this could make for an interesting concert.

Reminds me of a real world version of this game I played in my youth.
Already had this figured out.

So, lawyers, hairdressers, politicians and marketing people go on the B ark.
What did hairdressers ever do to you?

Looks like they owe Blizzard some money. Does this say Protoss to anyone? Wonder where they'll get enough Vespene gas to build it.
