I'm not 16 either, and have more experience driving than most fighter pilots do flying.
Probably in the same way that most freight liner pilots have more air miles than most fighter pilots. Experience and miles logged are not the same thing; it is the number of incidents and situations that promote learning.
If my knowledge of Australia is any indication, they're not socialist. They're either a vast wasteland where people in dune buggies fight over gasoline, or the place where young Einstein learned to party. One of those. Either way, I know they all carry VERY large knives.
What business does the state have regulating marriage per se?
Because most states provide differential taxes & benefits based on marital status.
It is the same reason that the state defines who is an adult (and many other things).
Not to mention immigration status, inheritance rights, parenting rights (in the UK at least unmarried fathers have to apply to a court for parental rights), and much more
Its about things like the call-centre operator who gets a call saying Can I check my balance... yea hear are the details... and while you are on can you tell me my wife's balance too. Its about the shop assistant in a phone shop who has someone asking for a replacement for a phone they just flushed down the toilet - they're desperate, miles from home and have no ID on them but expect an urgent call from their aunt in hospital so need a replacement on the same account. Its about the middle level IT manager who gets a call from a very annoyed board director who says his password doesn't work and you better reset it now or head will role. Its about not lending your access card to a visitor so they can go to the canteen and you are too busy to take a break.
Security training is very important, but it needn't concentrate on systems.
But those very intelligent Usenet posters didn't simply disappear--they were too smart for that. They formed new communities with restrictive memberships.
Instead of saying what the consensus should be, what don't you say what your opinion is.
You are effectively downplaying your opinion.
Sorry, I think what you misunderstand what I'm saying. There is a consensus that all software should impose a 500k block size limit. I'm saying that unless they put this in the standard then supporting an arbitrary limit on size should be seen as a bug,
I think its fair to say that while forking code may be a good idea most of the time - when its code running a virtual currency its a very BAD idea.
This isn't a code fork, it's a block chain fork" caused by an incompatible version update. That said, I agree with your assessment that it is not suitable for storing wealth unless you are prepared to take risks. To be fair bitcoin describes itself as ".. an experimental, decentralized digital currency".
The consensus on #bitcoin-dev is damage control: miners need to mine on pre-0.8 code so the backward-compatible fork will outgrow and thus dominate the compatibility-breaking one;
Either this should be put into the bitcoin specification or not accepting any size should be seen as a bug. There should not just be an unofficial consensus that "this is what should be done"
Its about some guy that thought he wanted to go out with Wayland Smithers, but would like him to have great muscle tone, be in to martial arts, and many more things. He was thinking of putting Wayland on a body building and martial arts course but then decided it would be quicker just to go with Frank Mir instead.
I live behind a school. Don't try to put a camera in my yard watching my children play in the street.
Unless your kids are running at over the speed limit or playing in the street with a car coming towards them at over the speed limit the camera won't take a picture. In the first case you would want to know for the Guinness book of records, and in the latter case for their safety.
What really annoys me is the trend to use speed bumps in these areas instead of cameras. You end up in a situation where someone in a large 4wd SUV drives through at 50mph but someone with a compact car has to slow to 20. I know people who have actually switched to a larger vehicle because of speed bumps.
Most so-called SUVs are just big but in no way capable of driving fast over speed bumps. When I go through my village and there is an SUV in front of me, I know it will take a _long_ time. I know one place where people tend to speed, and there is one nasty speed bump all alone. When someone drives aggressively too close behind me, I accelerate quite a bit, move to the other lane, brake hard just in front of that speed bump and watch them flying:-)
In my estate its mostly Range Rovers and Mitsibushi Animals. I can assure you they do go over the speed bumps without slowing.
So take away the speed bumps and give me cameras any day!
Well then.. since there are still anti-sodomy laws on the books in 22 states, that means I can put a camera in your bedroom to ensure no oral or anal sex ever occurs, right? Maybe just have a drone oribiting the city with high resolution thermal running and catch you that way.
Fuck you big brother apologists.
OK lets take your position to extremes. Cops should only go around in driverless cars with blacked out windows in case the they see an unreported crime occurring. Immigration should only check people who say they are not citizens, and banks should not ask for ID before paying money out of your account.
Change the penalty for moving violations from a monetary fine to a mandatory community service.
The incentive for police to write frivolous tickets will disappear, and people who are caught will be made to spend real time helping their community in some way, benefitting them, and costing them time, which is more valuable than money.
But how do you give the speed camera operator 40% of that community service? They expect a cut in exchange for installing and operating them.

going from 'cheapskate' to 'insufferable snob' is not an upgrade..
In the UK it is. It happens all the time when politicians retire and are given a place in the house of Lords.
Say what you will about Oracle, but they know a thing or two about databases.
Let me correct that for you:
Say what you will about Oracle, but they know a thing or two about marketing.
You forgot the final "impersonating Mozilla", because ultimately that's what all browsers do. Every version of IE has been impersonating Mozilla.
Which impersonated Mosaic (Mozilla was the "Mosaic killer").
Remember, if Apple hasn't done anything wrong, you can take something somebody else did, and pretend they did it even worse! That's how evil Apple is!
How dare Apple flame my comments like that!

You must be Adobe's overseas marketing director.
It makes no difference if your intention was humor and not hurtful. Intent does not make a difference.
You bastard I saw "intent" as having a go at Native Americans and their teepees.

I look forward to the first Unix promotion group wedding. Probably followed by an Apple Fanbois civil partnership.
