I would think the easiest solution, which keeps current UI design relatively intact, is to transpose the interface on to whatever depth the item it's over is. For the mouse, that would be the click pixel. For the toolbars, put them at the depth of the environment.
Well, the insurance companies could say that they won't insure drivers at those speeds without their own test to see if they're proficient enough to drive at higher speeds, then charge a relatively small premium instead of the much-higher one you're considering. They also have a special vehicle test for this, too, which alleviates the concern about unfit equipment.

We have a similar system , where we can't be pled down to a non-moving violation, but there is a pointless violation called "Unsafe Driving" here in NJ, with an accompanying $500+ fine.

This will never work. Who would pay 25 to speed for one day. When they can speed all week and if they are caught once pay a attorney 75 dollars. Do the math people.
Do the math of points on your driver's license, and the insurance rate hikes. In Nevada, this may turn out to be only something like $200 total, but somewhere like New Jersey, it's very substantial, potentially in the thousands.
and does not make inappropriate sexual comments about Tea Partygoers.
I thought Teabaggers were all for restoring the rights given by the constitution, regardless as to whether what's being said doesn't agree with their worldview?
Oh, sorry, I got caught up in theory and rhetoric.
As the GP pointed out, Israeli intelligence actually murdered people in Dubai.
I'll point out that despite there being a good indication that this is the case, there's not enough proof to convict if this were a murder case in the US.
You missed my point, just the way many others likely have and will, so let me make that clearer. We didn't "lose" a political battle in the US; that's normal debate and free speech in action, like what happens every day in this country over every issue.
We lost a political battle in Vietnam. We had more and more of the Vietnamese moving to help the North, instead of helping us, as the war progressed.
I mean, yes, but you can't say exactly what caused them to be monetary successes, and to what degree each factor (openness of music, raw size, marketing) played in said success. The truest measure of financial success would probably be the amount of money they made per fan, but even that is lacking a definitive way to isolate the factor of openness. Isolating that factor, and seeing how much each band made per fan because of it, is the only way to truly tell what effect the degree of openness has on a band's financial success.
Wait, you think we were on track to win in Vietnam? And it was the protests that screwed things up?
Uh, yeah. We lost zero major battles in Vietnam. Exactly zero. Had the bombing campaign been allowed to continue and not been limited (again, due to liberal protests), we bet your ass we could have won that war.
Except the political battle.
And you think the citizens of Vietnam are 'relegated to live under communism?' Vietnam had one of the highest growth rates in the world since the government instituted free market reforms in 1986.
So, what you are saying is that Vietnam had one of the highest growth rates in the world since the government realized that communism doesn't really work and tossed aside all that "to each according to their need" bullshit.
That would be a sterling example of winning a war by losing a battle and letting Vietnam realize that communism isn't a plausible way to run a country in the long term.
Vietnam is a member of the WTO, and well respected in the international community. The human rights situation is still abysmal, but improving.
What gets me is the respect coming from you, even though you are fully aware that " The human rights situation is still abysmal...". A country with an "abysmal" human rights record is what we were there fighting to prevent. Populations don't want to be oppressed. They are forced to allow it to happen because the oppressor is stronger than they are and is either stronger or more staying power than those fighting for freedom.
We can't force democracy on people, by definition.
Give it time and Vietnam will be indistinguishable from the free and prosperous hybrid socialist/free market economies of Europe.
You mean, like they could have had since 1975? How many souls spent their entire lives under oppression because someone thought that if we showed peace and love that the world would turn into a John Lennon song.
Again, you cannot force democracy on people who don't want it. North Vietnam would not be as free as it is today had we not withdrawn from the war.
As of right now, their economy is doing quite a bit better than ours.
Really? While our economy sucks, it only sucks when compared to itself. Our economy grew more in the past year than the entire economy of Vietnam. The US GDP per capita is $46,381. Vietnam's is $2,942. Um, I think our economy is a bit better than Vietnam's. So, given your track record of "non-facts", I guess we can throw out your last point of "Funny how it was capitalism that imploded recently, not socialism."
GDP per capita is not adjusted for the market value of goods. I bet they have iPhone clones that cost 1/10th of what ours cost.
Unemployment is typically measured as a percentage, not as a raw number, since the relative scale of unemployment is of real importance, not just how many people. 500k people unemployed in the US is amazingly low, but that number would be crippling to Bulgaria.
But, assuming we're using the raw, non-standard measure, unemployment peaked at around 22.5% during the depression, a lowish estimate. 123m * 21.5% = 27.67m
We currently have 9.5% unemployment (July 2010). 281m * 9.5% = 26.695m
Considering official depression-era unemployment statistics don't exist, that's an estimate up there, so the number could be decently different. I also didn't do any research into census numbers; I'm assuming yours are accurate.
Brilliant insight asshole. Lets hire 1000 skilled laborers to spend 10 years on speculative R&D which may or may not bear fruit.
Quite frankly, who gives a shit if it bears fruit? Every bit of R&D ever done has been done under the pretense that there's the possibility of the project failing, whether it's a very likely chance during research, or a moderately to slightly likely chance during development.
1000 people definitively employed for 10 years, or 1000 people who may or may not get a job in the next 10 years. Your pick.
It's an insult for the military to be using tax dollars to work on developing Computer Vision technology 20 years ahead of it's time when we're up against record unemployment.
"It's an insult for DARPA to create jobs at Kitware during 'record unemployment' that isn't actually record unemployment, just high unemployment."

Sure. Very over the top, he meant to be.
How the fuck can you mod something redundant when it hasn't been said before, or after, on the same thread of discussion?
You didn't say it like you were supposing they were going to do it. You said it as if it were fact, stated somewhere, just not in TFA.

Antitrust violations tend to be abuse of a monopoly position to prevent competitors from entering or gaining traction in a market.
Considering that Google isn't really even a monopoly, this doesn't have merit as an actual case.

It is the counterpoint to The Daily Show, in a sense.
One shows stupidity via direct logical appeal, the other shows it by taking the ideas to their logical extreme.

That means that, according to that paper, the electromagnetic field was there, and created matter, as far as I can tell.
Actually, the ninjas were always there, you just couldn't see them.
Something created what exists, otherwise it would not exist. Things don't magically pop in and out of existence; there's something that does it.
