Why can't we value all levels of people in society? If we were all Einsteins, who would take the trash, build schools or machine the parts for a nuclear reactor?
Another device doing this is called a thermopile. I would link to Wikipedia as well but there is only a stub there. It is not very efficient but is useful when you need to generate electricity without making any noise.
There are always/. quick to defend firefox because 'caching improves performance', but if like everyone else you switch back and forth from your browser to other apps it is a nightmare. With broadband I really don't even want caching anymore.
Look into some of the westinghouse winners of the past, young people who did independent research in new areas of science. Building a farnsworth generator doesn't even compare.
That's fine but let them immigrate through the normal channels. There is a host of moral reasons why the H1B system is unfair for native workers and the H1Bs.
Yes, but the people you are falsely matched with most likely still have their licences and have no reason to try to created one falsely. If you assume that only 1% of people lose their licences, your false 'positive' rate will be much less.
I know that this doesn't help with willful identity theft, but most people apply for false licences because they have lost their licence.
In this vein how about a solar powered wireless repeater used to simply send/recieve emails? If you can aid in the ability to talk to a doctor, or sell your cattle for a better price, you would be enriching the lives of the villagers.
I think a better approach would be a more moderate approach, like giving them access to email. Come up with some wireless repeater mechanism and villages could communicate with each other.
You guys have totally missed the point. This is a good thing for privacy.
They are doing this to discourage driver licence fraud. In many states we have had to fight to get SSN taken off of our DL... so how does is the DMV supposed to discourage fraud? If DL fraud is rampant, this gives ammunition to proponents of a national ID, with the argument that the states are unable to identify people corretly.
Another side to the issue are the people that have been a victim of identity theft, I am sure they will be happy that the DMV is doing this.
What does this have to do with being considered a criminal? If your licence is flagged they are going to give the application more scrutiny. Wouldn't you be happy if it was another face trying to get a licence in your name?
Even without claiming that 'new music suxs' it makes sense that if you like the music from the last 30 years that the amount of new stuff you would want to have would be proportionally much less.

The difficulty of figuring this thing out is because it is fused together by corrosion, not because it is doing something so amazing.
Well casting a vote is black and white... you are stuck voting for someone that you may not agree on in all issues.

Kinda dumb concept anyway, when you are sitting on an airplane that is going to burn 100+ pounds of fossil fuel to get you to your destination.

Your crazy. If somone breaks in your house and steals your computer, do you want them to be able to log into all your favorite sites?
Just have a wifi link to the police car. Aren't a lot of professional cameras already doing this?
Using a computer and the internet certainly allows a predator to cast a larger net.

are neutrons ionizing radiation?
Outlook behaves this way now, it pushes an alert and part of the message to the lower right of the screen.
Realistically, how many computer buyers upgrade their video cards, 1/2%?
This is a dumb position. There are plenty of other great directors out there.... if anything some new blood might be a welcome change.
As i suspected, Kharma whoring hasn't changed a bit.

There hasn't been any innovation on the web in the last 5 years anyway. Why would some new technical geegaws change this?

Subsidies also keep food prices from flying all over the place, with severe negative social repercussions.

Aren't you glad that the DMV lady raised the concern instead of when you got pulled over by a cop? You should be glad this is what happened.

Seriously though, does anyone pick up the phone any more if you don't recognize the number?
