Most companies I know that use vehicles requiring CDLs do have that monitoring equipment. It's a replacement for the paper logbooks they used to carry. The feds require them to keep certain hours - no more than 11 hours in a day driving, 14 hours in a day on duty, and 70 hours in 8 days I think. This is a reliable method of monitoring that. The companies also like to make sure you have very few overspeeds or excessive accellerations and decelerations. Unsafe driving causes wrecks, which is about the last thing a company like that wants.
Long-haul drivers usually are the best drivers on the road. They're usually very courteous, but more important are the less seen things like boxing in drivers who are aggressive to the point of danger - weaving at high speeds on curvy mountain roads and such - and calling them into the cops on the radio and the networked knowledge they acquire. If one trucker knows about a wreck, all the truckers know about a wreck, so if they're all taking the same exit, probably you wanna get off the highway and follow them.
You got lucky. The same thing happened to a friend of mine - not identical code, but close enough. Unfortunately that teacher was a douche and sent them to the Honor Council, complaining the whole time about the trouble it was causing him. The Honor Council met 3 months later when school was back in session and cleared the students in the shortest deliberation on record. I can only assume they actually took into consideration that the students didn't know each other and the teacher is one of those OCD there is only one correct method types, so obviously both students did it the same way - the way he taught it.
I fail to see where you know any more about what women want than he does. You're both male. I much prefer clean-shaven in general. Quite frankly, the vast majority of men either can't grow a decent beard or don't take care of it properly. Stubble is sexy, but it's unprofessional and certainly shouldn't appear in a courtroom. And as I recall, the purpose of high heels is to tighten the calf, accentuating the shape of the leg to attract men of all heights.
PS. Fuck you very much for calling me a lesbian. My boyfriend would be quite surprised to hear it. I'm gonna guess the reason you didn't get laid for three years is actually the fact that you're a dick.
I was born and raised on the East Coast but I have no idea where you get the idea that only educated people on the Coasts can be altruistic. Some of the most generous folks I know I've met in the Midwest - and none of them finished college. Indeed, they seem to understand better than the yuppies on the Coasts that you only need so much, and you might as well help somebody else with the rest. People on the Coasts seem to be much more concerned with keeping up with, and preferably beating, the Joneses.
Or, even more astonishing, one might have both a few close friends and a large number of shallow acquaintances. The presence of one does not preclude the other. To me, much of the value in these social networking groups is the ability to check up on those people you don't know well enough to pick up the phone and call, but you still hope they're doing well. If I want to know what's going on in the life of a close friend, I'll call them, IM them, or just drop by.
Frankly, the only times I ever even hear people mention their friend count is bragging about a low one here on/.
Not to mention the fact that hardly any of the games on the list are more than a few years old - Ocarina being about the oldest one there.
I would have guessed Ocarina at about halfway down the list, age wise, so I decided to look it up. From oldest to youngest using initial release date in the first country to get it, we have:
1984 9. Tetris 1990 5. Super Mario World 1991 6. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 1994 10. Super Metroid 1996 3. Super Mario 64 1997 8. Final Fantasy VII 1998 1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2001 7. Halo: Combat Evolved 2004 4. Half Life 2 2005 2. Resident Evil 4
I would say that they did a pretty good job spreading the games' release years out, actually. They skip from the SNES all the way back to Tetris, but other than that. Only half the list came out in the past decade. There is a lot of Nintendo, yes, but I would say eight of them are more than a few years old, not hardly any.
Wow. I saw the title and immediately assumed I was being told off, but no, it's a slashdotter who can actually admit when he's in error. I am very impressed. You, sir, have just become my first friend. And I will definitely give you that you're correct on the Northwest Passage.
Actually it's easier to drill from ice than water. You can see spills better and the rig doesn't move. They currently don't drill new offshore wells during the summer in Prudhoe Bay, AK.
The marginal cost is how much it takes to create any additional product. After you've written the first copy of the software, there are no man-hours required to write the second copy.

Umm, you need to choose one or the other. Creative Commons is copyright. It's copyleft, to be sure, but it's not public domain. (Note that I am aware that CC offers a public domain icon, but that doesn't make it a license.)
It's kind of paranoid, but yeah. If I'm going out running or what have you, particularly if I'm alone, I want some kind of ID on me just in case something happens to me and I need to be identified. I don't need my whole purse (which has the integrated wallet) though.
Your prejudice is showing, as is your gender. A mountain of credit cards doesn't mean debt necessarily. I've clerked before, I agree there are a lot of people in this world who can't run their finances properly, but you can hardly assume everyone who has more than 3 credit/debit cards is awash in debt. My mother carries maybe 10 cards between major brands and store cards, and the only debt she is in right now is this months charges she hasn't received the bill for yet. Hell, she paid cash for her car. I'm also going to wager that not only are you male, you buy very few clothes for yourself. Carrying a store card at most department stores will get you 10-12 extra sales a year. I don't feel the need to shop at every one of them, but if there's something I need, I will almost certainly get it cheaper because I have a Macy's card that, gasp, gets paid off every month I charge something on it.
Nobody said they were angels, just that they didn't do the crime they were accused of that the university automatically assumed they were guilty of. Tell me you don't believe that dancer was actually telling the truth.

Sorry, now they'll switch to their local version of the Rejection Hotline.
That would be the government's view of the hypothetical you that's dealing Coke cans in his example.

You installed Adblock Plus, probably. That's different from Adblock, which is just the mechanism to do it yourself.
God damn HTML formatting. There's supposed to be a paragraph break before the PS.

A lot of interns are paid these days. I made nearly $9000 this summer, working less than two and a half months.

I hate to break it to you, bud, but unless you're a Nielson family, you won't count whether you DVR it or watch it.

You left out the best part. 10 years for consensual oral sex. Intercourse would have only gotten him 6 months.
The tax is irrelevant. Something in the public domain can't be released under a copyright license.

She does point out that she has a live-in geek. He could have built it.
Ballistics studies have confirmed the same guns were used at both shootings.
