Adults will use it to keep the dealers from gouging them on new keys (because hardware stores definitely won't be able to replicate them), and kids will take advantage of it to kill the restrictions.
Much, perhaps most, dangerous driving by kids is caused by trying to show off to their mates. Limit the speed and power and the vehicle to its baic transport function. No fun trying to do a burn out in a car that refuses to do it.
oh.. you mean buy them any honda.
Seriously, just don't let them drive dad's "mid life chrisis" z-28 and you have no trouble with that.
Of course, the fact that dangerous driving is just as prevalent among adults is completely ignored by hypocrites.
75% of accidents i avoided between the ages of 16 and 18 were men ages 20-35 being dickweeds and trying to muscle their way through traffic in big trucks and SUV's.
I've been: almost hit several dozen times while moving at under 5 MPH, almost hit several dozen times on my green arrow, tail gated from here to hell, almost run off the road 3 or 4 times while minding my own business.
Before you start accusing me of something or other for this account.. I was driving a '92 corolla DX. It literally couldn't go over 80, and was incapable of accelerating up hill.
That's just silly. Let's apply that logic to something (anything!) else:
If parents think it's ok to have an established curfew for their kids, what if the government thinks it's a good idea to establish a curfew for everyone!?
unenforceable. Ford is pioneering a technical means which would make it 100% enforceable, and, of course, irrevocably locked in, assuring you can't escape collapsing section of the LA freeway.
If parents think it's ok to monitor their kids internet usage, what if the government thinks it's a good idea to monitor everyone's internet usage!?
Telecom warrantless wiretapping was not limited to only phones. "Arts + labs", as well as several congressmen, are actually trying to push this, with the encouragement of certain cable-co's who want to use DPI to lock out competition and turn the internet into the next cell-phone bill.
If parents think it's ok to send their kids to their room when they don't eat their vegetables, what if EVERYONE gets sent to their room when they don't eat their vegetables?!
between drug laws, copyright laws, and the patriot act, that's basically what the government can do now. When the government can't do it believably, they get their friend rupert murdoch to pull a dixie chicks on them.
So no there is no "much more important other side"... unless of course, you're silly.
Yes there is a "much more iportant other side", unless you're blind.
Under all circumstances. There are minor restrictions, which are more or less unenforceable, in some conservative states.
You must understand it's necessary here.
The "corner store" is a 10 minute drive where I live.
Public transit is a joke because of how sprawled the suburbs are.
Until the government introduces policies to get rid of the mcmansions and reign the cities back into actual metropolitan areas (fat chance), it will continue to be this way.
Additionally.. what happens if your kid, or someone around him, is in an emergency, and must push the car to its limit.
I'm sure californians will feel very safe knowing they can't access every single horsepower to get off that bridge before it collapses in an earthquake.
I'm putting my alts through the treadmill because I tried my main on the PTR and no longer like the class (the fluidity of play has been destroyed, fingers should not be knotted in an MMO)
ultimately thinks World Gaming will open up the field for gamers who want to make money from games but can't make it to live competitions due to the expense or having to take time off from work or school.
Here's a metric: If you can't make enough money from gaming to take the occasional vacation from work or school, then you're not good enough, and should not get a handout.
You need to read what i'm saying instead of railing on.
Numerous banks went BUST. The help came too late for them. The problem went on for ages before they voted hoover out.
Without those banks, the money multiplier was destroyed, the currency deflated. A large number of businesses followed those banks down the tubes because of the implosion in the money supply.
Those businesses took years to regrow. The social programs were necessary, and entirely beneficial. Social programs like the boulder dam, for instance, which created an entire, bustling metropolitan area and hydroelectric power for the western states.
I disagree with fiscal infusions in the majority of cases, but this doctrine, like everything else practical, is NOT absolute.
I'd love to see maddox write a follow up to his article on the segway in regards to this "new method of herding.
Barbed wire is working fine. It uses abundant resources, and does not require a special chemical composition to continue doing its job. (i've run into century old barbed wire in forests which have since been designated protected wilderness)
We don't need poltergeist machines to whisper things in cow's ears.
We CERTAINLY don't want to make the simple control of livestock dependent on a 100% uptime on an electronic device.
Finally, we don't need to be consuming even more electricity when we're having numerous national campaigns, even by right-wing officials, trying to solve the nation-wide energy crisis.
The depression involved a massive contraction in the money supply from bank failures and runs.
This had a correspondingly deflationary factor.
FDR's spending did nothing more than help alleviate this problem.
Inflation, especially following sharp deflationary spirals, is not a bad thing.
The market AND government correction of this massive bank failure took time though.
The fed seeks to maintain a small quantity of inflation at all times to grease the wheels of the economy.
Specifically.. companies can raise prices, profit in the short term, and in a properly working economy people eventually receive cost of living increases to their wages.
It's beholden to the conglomerates which own them, to the companies which advertise to them, and the people who anchor for them are in the upper 1% of the economic scale.
They never give coverage to the other side of the copyright debate.
They never correct the distortions from faux-news which they repeat shamelessly.
They never cover mass protests of the FTAS corporations use to rob our nation blind.
They never cover real issues with politicians, or ask why third parties are not covered.
They feed the system just as much as murdoch's conservative empire does.
I do not see any ethical problem here, as there would be with a company that was stealing GPLed code. Anyone contributing to a BSD licensed project is saying, quite clearly, that they are happy for people to develop proprietary forks.
not really.
What they're saying is: this is a worthwhile OSS project, which some putz put under a BSD license.
It's just as immoral to screw over the community on a BSD project for one greedy bastard's financial gain as it is to do so on a GPL project.
Tax cuts are way more liked in the academic circles than work programs. At least tax cuts are more organic and the money introduced into the economy doesn't make people dependent.
of course it doesn't make people more dependent. the people never see ANY money (in either savings or subsidy) from those tax cuts, particularly because people who really need those tax cuts don't have any federal income tax to begin with
Reaganite tax cuts go to the rich, and stay with the rich.
If by chance they do end up impacting main street meaningfully, I don't see how people are less dependent than they would be on government subsidy.
You can claim it's not a subsidy all you want, but the fact is the government is racking up massive deficits because needed taxes are not being collected. Sooner or later they will have to come back, and when they do it'll be with a vengeance.
I've already made a post talking about the austrian school.
why don't you go read the wikipedia entry on it. It reads like intelligent design.
The story you linked had nothing to do with the depression.
greenspan was talking about how reaganomics, in this case the aspect of reaganomics involving tax cuts on one end while hemorrhaging government cash on the other is a bad way to go.
He's mirroring stiglitz: reaganomics = BAD
The social programs established during the depression didn't necessarily help the private sector recover, but that wasn't the point. The point was to create jobs and get people out of hoovervilles asap rather than waiting for the market to "eventually" recover. None of those programs prevented or impeded that recovery, however.

Go live in atlanta, dc, or pennsylvania for a while. Then type that with a straight face.

In many of the swing states people are accepting the news as if that's all there is.
Even in blue states I have family members looking dolefully at me when I tell them the MSM has degenerated into propaganda.
well, they announced the xpack on the 13th.
I haven't touched my 70's in weeks because of it.

windrunner has a good amount of people.
now look at dying realms.. jaedenar being an extreme example.
Now, I am not complaining because I feel I have some sort of right to be part of an 'raiders only' exclusive club.
Yes, yes you are.
The only time I see complaints like this is under a "these guys don't deserve what I have, i'm not special anymore WAAAAHHHH"
Blizzard established a pattern:
start out with default difficulty, make it easier as time goes by to allow progression to others who might not otherwise.
I'm just curious, blizzard, with how you see WOTLK, or any mmo for that matter, working without distinctions beteween classes.
I also want to know why you're not properly implementing your own stated policies to prevent raid stacking.
If people want healers, they're not going to take my warrior, hunter, or warlock. Clearly we need healing spells too.

You're linking wikipedia to support your argument.. in a response column to a story about the fallibility and manipulation of wikipedia.
Sorry, but we don't have NPR.
talk radio is death valley even for the "left" (center) perspective that is CNN.
They offer plenty of air time to boortz, hannity, and all our fine little friends in the right wing echo chamber.
The one attempt at "liberal" talk radio was squelched by the likes of clear channel squeezing potential advertisers to stay away under the table.
The only "left" media you'll find is in print.. hidden in dusty corners, or under piles of "slander", by ann coulter
Sorry, but CNN is at best center-right.

Brought to you by the two-wrongs-make-a-right department.
You say this as if forcing DRM purveyors to release their source is a "wrong".
If anything, it's more of a "right" than giving 5 trillion dollars to an old lady handling pans.

economics and computer science.
needless to say, watching/reading any news coverage on either subject is an infuriating experience.
Ended the great depression? I don't agree, and neither do most modern economists.
back this up, because I have yet to read any economic publication which disagrees with the government intervention.
Are you referring to those wackos in the austrian school?
