I do not know what planes you board, but ever since I was four years old I have had to have some kind of ID to board a plane. Be it a passport for international flights or a state id/dl for national flights (obviously being under 16 I would need to use my passport for national flights). All this does is consolidate the passport to the DL.
Umm... granted I haven't flown since 2000, but all I ever needed to fly was a boarding pass/ticket. I never needed ID unless I was buying my ticket, at the counter, with a credit card. Which I never did, so I have never needed any ID to fly state to state within the continental US border.
As for those in remote locations - if you're going to build a road out there, you might as well build a rail instead. If it's a seldom-travelled road, you can use a rather light piece of rail, just like one might use a poor quality road for such a location.
The problem there is that a truck can use a class 6 road; heavy freight can't travel on light rail.
Regarding your example: "I just saw a gasoline tanker truck going by at 85 mph down this lonely highway - where am I? I dunno, my GPS isn't working."
Most every higway I can think of has mile markers evry 1/10 of a mile with the road/interstate number, the mile, and the 1/10th mile. So, while I agree that Bush's [plan (like him) is stupid, so is your particular example,
Long equations can be simnplefied, you don't have to write so much, and you can concentrate in the mathematics, instead of in the often tedious mechanics.
But if you don't know the "tedious mechanics" do you really know the mathematics?
Solar - how many trees and fields will need to be cut down and cleared for "sun farms"? Replacing a houses roof shingles with solar panels *may* provide enough power for a single small family. If you replaced every window in the Chicago Sears Tower with a solar panel, you still would not have enough power for every office inside.
Wind - You'll still have to clear-cut the forests, but at least you can let grass grow beneath the towers. Unfortunately, they produce less power per sq. ft. than solar panels.
Hydro/Dams - Do the salmon need to go extict before people realize that dams are ecological killers? The Colorado river used to run all the way yo the Gulf of Mexico, but thanks to all the damn Dams it now just peters out somewhere in the southwest. (New Mexico, maybe?)
Ecologically, there is nothing better *right now* than Nuclear power. And if the used fuel gets refined, it can be continuously reused until it is virtually clean.
well, if we were allowed to use breeder reactors to refine used fuel, we could get a lot more energy out of the same amount of fuel, and we would have almost no waste. since treaties have outlawed breeders, we have highly radioactive waste instead of spent fuel, and we can't fully utilize the fuel we do have.
But when half of the states are divided by only 1 or 2 percent, dont' you think that final 10% could hold the deciding tally?
I never understood the concession thing. Why run a marathon, then quit just 100 feet from the finish line? If you're going to lose, then lose, don't quit!
According to George H. Taylor (Certified Consulting Meteorologist and State Climatologist in Oregon,) "'Global warming causes increased storminess' makes for interesting headlines. It also violates fundamental scientific truth and the lessons of history."

That's because you're using wireless. The key idea behind "land-line" is the "line". I have cordless phones for the mobility, but I will always keep a wired phone as insurance.

Tell that to my goats! I have a Pygmy/Dwarf Nigerian cross goat and an Angora. The Angora will always run at and complain bitterly to anyone who enters his pasture. A stranger will almost surely be butted by the Angora. The pygmy will also charge sometimes, just not as much.
No, it is a legitimate title. They have to think of ways to show MS is better, especially in grey areas where it may be borderline. They can't lie outright, that could have legal repercussions. Therefore they need to present their data in the most MS-favorable way: highlight MS's successes and Linux's failings, while ignoring Linux's successes and MS's failures.
a loaded 747 gets better gas mileage per person involved than the single-person SUV commuting to work.
An suv really isn't intended at a "single-person" vehicle. You've got 2 seats in front, a 3-4 person bench seat in the middle and a 3-5 person "3rd row" seat. Assuming 10mpg, an suv is capable of 10+ passengers, so what's that equal in mpg/person? 100?

That's easy, Mozilla.
just for the record: the irish were slaves in america long before the blacks.
slavery is not a race issue.

Actually, that was ABC, and as I recall, was only used during Saturday morning cartoons.
Yes, I am pathetic.
If nobody cared about him snorting coke and driving drunk, why the hell would anyone care about him smoking pot?

(d) In whose backyard does the nuclear waste go?
Depending on how it's sealed, you can bury it on my land. All I ask in exchange is free electricity.

I'm really curious about this: How do you do a write-in with a touch-screen?
Thanks, and I'll take my answer off the air.

Hurricanes and Global Warming: Is There a Link? was written 9/14/2004 and covers this issue rather well, thank you.

It's still a beta. Whether or not it's an RC (which is just odd to me: a release candidate of a beta?) it's still just a beta.
I don't want to beta-test. When 1.x comes out, that's when I'll try it. If I like it, I may even make a donation to the developers.

Except that vinyl is analog, and the question was regarding digital media...
How about a dead battery? Or just flat one when you need a jump-start?
Well, you can now buy "jumper cables" that use the cigar-lighter/accessory-power-point to transfer power. No more messy batteries or multiple clamps.
