The driving test for cops is not. So unless you want to pass the cop's driving test to able to drive, you're not going to have the same privileges such as speeding, using a computer while driving, shooting while driving, communicating over the radio while driving, intentionally causing accidents, or any other such law enforcement tasks.
Are you arguing that we can train people to use a cell phone safely while driving or that it's okay for cops to drive dangerously?
The cops aren't supposed to be doing any of those things outside of emergencies either.
I mostly posted because couldn't upvote your everyone is gonna die post, hoped it might increase visibility a bit with another reply. Too few people understand that point. It is the other option, but it's a horrifying one.
I think you missed a joke there. I hope you did anyway, I didn't look at his posting history, but you'll note his sig indicates he supports a higher minimum wage.
Because that's a lot harder than it sounds. If a cop pulls you over for "reckless driving" you have a chance to say it wasn't reckless because you're a just that good at driving or a variety of other subjective excuses. This can eat up court time etc.
If they pull you over for talking on a cell phone, all they have to do is testify you were talking on a cell phone. Case closed. Same reason they use radar guns.(Aren't those often required to give speeding tickets nowdays?)
Not saying it's right, but that is certainly why they do it.(along with grandstanding of course)
And what YOU seem to be forgetting is copyright is something we, as a society, are offering artists to help society. There is no benfit to society for them getting 70 years or more. They(mostly corporations) are breaking their part of the contract when they ask for continually longer copyright, especially the retroactive ones.
A few thousand dollars every year. Why should I not enjoy that money I worked for. You certainly enjyo the money you get from your employer - and if you were to die your last paycheck would be delivered to your next of kin.
I have not seen anyone suggest that it shouldn't extend a little past death, assuming it's early. Most suggestions I see(That aren't for abolishing it) are along the lines of 10-20 years, or life + 5/10 years, whichever is shorter.
How many employers would pay your spouse/kids even one year after you die? That's what life insurance is for.
Characters were stored on the realms(battle.net) even in diablo 2. This was the "Closed Realm" option. "Open Realms" let you play your character in single player etc, and were trivial to hack, by design.(the file was entirely plain hex values for hp and so forth)
For the most part, the only "hack" on the closed realms was duplicated items.(though to quite an absurd degree at times) There were not many hacks other than a map hack, which wasn't THAT good.
Please explain the difference between sopranos, which you can get on HBO(which many kids have access to, OMG!), the internet(which many kids have access to, OMG!), a store(which many kids have access to, OMG!), or at someone elses house(which many kids have access to, OMG!) and a video game that you purchase or play(which is, coincidently, available in LESS places than the sopranos as there is no HBO for games kids have acecss to)
There isn't a difference, don't act like there is. You say you're a responsible parent, then be one. Don't force others to have less rights so you can uh...be a good parent anyway? Either that or you're lying and you're a terrible parent and this is your only hope.
You would be at least mildly aware if someone took your pin number. In theory, other than watching you enter it in some way, there would be no way to get it.
If facial recognition, or any other biometrics, are the only security system, then anyone could record you anywhere randomly and it would be usable. Again, in theory, possibly requiring technology we don't have yet.
I'd rather go with the small time window to steal my info, as I wouldn't gain anything from the biometrics anyway.
I have NEVER seen a company that claimed unlimited bandwidth(speed, not total traffic).
The issue is they give you a speed cap, then frequently cap you below that value if you use it too often. What they need to do is offer different prices for different total amounts of traffic and end this pathetic and deceptive charade. But then they'd get less from grandparents who only check their email, so god forbid that.
No, they don't get my respect for owning up to this mistake/failure.
They'd get my respect if they'd owned up to it when/as it happened. Not more than a year after the fact when they aren't concerned in the slightest about selling copies of the game. It's just hype for the next one at this point.
I would imagine, though I have not looked it up, that they refuse to continue to do business with a store that charges less than the official price, or they have a contract that stipulates the final price. They have a monopoly on ipods, which are perceived as at least a somewhat different thing than "general" MP3 players. Apple can get away with this, most other companies can't.
This would make selling it for less illegal under any (most?) conditions.
Please tell me what more meaningful result you could hope for. they allready give you the definition if you click on the word, what more could you hope to get out of a semi-random single word search, as you put it?
Let's take the word "failure" as an example. That might have relavence if you were searching news(which hey, you can!), but hardly has any possible meaning in the context of the information in general on the web.

So why aren't they pushing for similar laws for movies at the same time?
Good point, I wasn't paying enough attention.
I just was thinking about the normal ban on cell phones. Banning just texting is down right retarded.

What about Google ads(or any other tracking mechanism), or when Google buys a company that you used to use instead of Google?
It's not as simple as not using their products, unfortunately.
Whichever is shorter, not longer.

LOTRO didn't poof everything when the game came out.

They could stop giving in without a full court order.

Shame you won't be able to stream them, as any station would be bankrupt. So yeah, torrents ARE the only option soon, even if it isn't RIAA music.

Good catch though, I feel shame.
Trademark != Patent != Copyright.
I'm afraid I don't get the reference(assuming it is one), but I'm somewhat curious if you happen to read this again.
You shouldn't be able to patent the idea of a shrink ray anyway, so it's not a good example.
Now if a game detailed how to make a shrink ray, and it worked for some bizare reason, that'd be another issue.
No, they don't get my respect for owning up to this mistake/failure.

WHY!?
Yet it's correct, unless Rockstar changes their minds. They inetnd a fullblown new game before they claim to have made GTA4.
