I would say that the primary benefit of an electronic format is quickly looking stuff up.
It depends on how one remembers what you want to look up. If it's a specific word or phrase, sure, electronic is ideal. If you remember that it's 3/4 of the way down a right-hand page, with about an inch-worth of pages left in the book, paper is probably going to beat electronic for look-up speed. Some people remember tactile/spacial information better, and electronic doesn't (yet) provide such feedback too well.
That isn't true; most states' DMVs (and a quick google search indicates California is one of them) do issue ID cards. They're valid for identification the same as driver's licenses are, just not for driving, and are generally similar in appearance and content.
Keyboards should have NOTHING on the key tops! It is neither efficient nor ergonomic to be looking at the keys while you are typing. Head up, look at the screen, use touch typing, and spend a tiny fraction of the time you spend at a keyboard to make less mistakes and you will be a maverick typist in no time.
While that's nice in theory, there's plenty of people who do things where where the keys are mapped to different functions than normal. If you only use a program only occasionally, it'd be nice to have the keyboard tell you what CTRL/ALT+a key does, instead of spending the time to look through some helpfile. Or if you're using international keyboard layouts only occasionally (which happens for me, being a linguistics student and needing to type things in a variety of other languages), it'd be nice to not have to look up the keyboard layout, or sit there trying most the keys. There are plenty of uses where learning to touchtype just isn't worth the effort.
When dealing with someone violently resisting arrest, you use the maximum force possible. You have to hammer them hard enough so they have no will left to resist.
Absolutely not. Maximum force would mean completely incapacitating them, either by killing them or making quite sure they're unconscious and will stay that way. And while that would rather prevent them from resisting arrest, it is absolutely immoral and illegal.
Remember they now track purchases in the US, and i damned well guarantee they include book titles.
There's this handy form of payment called cash. It makes it rather harder to track who's buying things, regardless of whether it's the government or corporations that want to do the tracking.
I've been wondering why the administration never references the previous declaration of war.
They'd have a hard time doing that, since the Persian Gulf War also just had an authorization of military force. The US Congress hasn't formally declared war since World War II.
Unfortunately the Necessary and Proper clause applies to Congress, and gives it the authority to "To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." Which is why it's in Article 1 Section 8, which deals with the legislative branch. So I'm not sure how the President has any power under the necessary and proper clause.
Nevermind that the Constitution only makes the president commander-in-chief of the military, not says that he can spy on and arrest whoever he pleases...
Hmm. When i use "cc:" followed by my address, it just returns ones that were cc'ed to me, and not To ones also.
True, not being able to save searches is abit of a disadvantage.
Dates you can specify with 'before:' and/or 'after:'. You can search based on to, from, cc, and bcc addresses (using those operators). 'filename:' searches for filename or extension. 'Flagged for followup' would just be a label. unread you can search for "is:unread".
"unanswered within the past 7 days" i'm not sure how to do. And one significant flaw is that gmail doesn't return partial matches (e.g. plurals when you search for singular).

Photo IDs aren't obtainable for free everywhere. In Maryland, for example, there's $15 fee to get a state-issued photo ID (http://mva.state.md.us/AboutMVA/FEE/default.htm).
Presumably because the company could get a better license to use the work by funding the employees than by not funding them.
What exactly is 'flogging' supposed to mean in the summary?
Nanorust is shorter ;)
I thought that was intentional, with Al Qaeda hiding there now and the US not having enough wars on its hands ;)
Actually, the article puts BSD 4.3 as #1, not Unix (first sentence of the last paragraph).
It's Livermore and Los Alamos that're competing, according to the article.

The bill number in the House is H.F. 3971 (full text). I can't find a Senate version of it.

Actually, you can do almost all that with gmail.
Dates you can specify with 'before:' and/or 'after:'.
You can search based on to, from, cc, and bcc addresses (using those operators).
'filename:' searches for filename or extension.
'Flagged for followup' would just be a label. unread you can search for "is:unread".
