I'd love to see Apple and Google implement this! Someone enters the"other" code you set up and *poof*, secure wipe.
Unfortunately I think it would run afoul of the law... destroying evidence.
Try driving one... not for a block or two, I mean really drive one, and you'll see why they're so freaking awesome. Very few cars come close to being as responsive and communicative -- I bought mine 10 years ago and it still keeps impressing me.
This is coming from a *driver* point of view... badge-whores need not apply.
"Can" and "Could" are two different things, especially when you're looking at the CMB. It emanates from the initial state of the universe, before the time when the laws of physics as we know them had formed.
a) I exist
b) The event happened in my recent past.
That narrows it down to within a couple of dozen years from my point of view. That makes perfect sense to me.
So you don't understand cosmological terminology, then. "Now" means that whatever we see currently, regardless of how long ago it happened (i.e., regardless of distance), is occurring now.
And, even if it did, where does it say that the military must be the size that it is?
I agree that it could be substantially more efficient in spending its money (the military).
Conservatives love to talk about cutting government, however they always seem to conveniently forget to include the military in those cuts. It doesn't matter that we could halve the military budget and still be spending more than any other country. If we did that, we might actually be able to pay our firefighters and we'd also have enough left over to keep Social Security solvent and pay for universal health care like every other civilized nation on earth.
Sorry to sound harsh, but you should probably brush up on the complexity and reality of geopolitics before making an erroneous statement like that. Sorry I can't expand on that... it's too complex! But seriously, I don't feel like writing a book.
Bullshit. Plain and simple. Do you think Amazon gets to avoid VAT on European sales? I think the State of California should block amazon.com from DNS resolution on state owned DNS servers, and block amazon.com's IP address at state owned routers.
Wow, really? So then all States (except CA and NJ) should therefore block NewEgg, since they don't charge taxes outside those two States?
It's like nobody gets it -- interstate commerce is not regulated by individual States; it is not an out-of-State entity's responsibility to collect sales taxes for residents of a State they have no presence in. Also, Amazon (as well as every online retailer) pays State taxes for sales to State residents (e.g., WA) that they have a presence in.
Which is exactly how it's done in my town. And you get sent a link to the video that you can review with your fine... just ask my wife. Why do the GP and GGP assume that it's not that way in LA?
Because it's not how it works in Cali (at least all of SoCal, and therefore the assumption that the enforcement/operation of these things being the same all over is proven false). Here, the images are electronically sent to San Diego. There they are reviewed by someone that works for the private company that manages the cameras. If you broke the red light law, regardless of the circumstances, you get a ticket mailed to the address of the plate.
Playing devil's advocate, I have seen the paper that gets sent, and regardless of what everyone says, the guy that got it deserved it -- it's very obvious that the light was already red as he approached the limit-line (the line before the crosswalk), which the camera sees and images, and you can see him clearly cross the crosswalk and go into the intersection, all while it was red.
Really? You actually need to clarify that it's an invasion to take clandestine pics inside someone's home? Christ, it'd be less of an invasion if they'd sent a photographer to shoot through the curtains at night!
Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather my women didn't remind me of prepubescent girls......
By that logic, I take it you don't want women to shave their legs or armpits, either (they're both also pubic hair)? And, of course, you don't shave your beard or cut your hair?
The deaths are something like 13 or so -- not an incredibly high amount, but there's evidence that suggests (and that's not strong enough a word) that Toyota's been aware of this since about 2002 and has actively tried to stop any and all probes, lobbied against safety changes, and made bogus recalls (e.g., the floor mats) in order to positively affect their bottom line.
The time to take control away from someone is -before- they abuse the power, not after.
Analogy time:
"I'm going to permanently take away your car, because you might eventually abuse it. Same goes for your cell phone -- there are plenty of pay phones left -- and you can only use a computer at your local library -- after all, you might abuse the power a computer gives you." How does that make sense?
Do I want it taken away from us? Heck no. We hold all the power in this area right now. But if we're talking about fair and right, then it really should be handled by the UN rather than any single country.
Our Navy controls the world's oceans -- is it 'fair' and 'right' (for everyone else)? Doesn't matter -- the world's not fair and right; you either deal with it or pull the wool over your eyes and discover it the hard way.

So I guess all those extra rules that California has for auto emissions standards are illegal?
You are aware that the Federal Govt granted California an exemption specifically for emissions as part of the Clean Air Act?
They already do with their "minimum balance" fees.
I'd love to see Apple and Google implement this! Someone enters the"other" code you set up and *poof*, secure wipe. Unfortunately I think it would run afoul of the law... destroying evidence.
But by your logic, wouldn't we also suck at building the same robots that are so good at piloting?

Uhhh... no.
Sure it does.
If I'm reading this then:
a) I exist b) The event happened in my recent past.
That narrows it down to within a couple of dozen years from my point of view. That makes perfect sense to me.

The Xi-sub-b is categorized as are baryon, which are formed of three quarks.
'Are' baryon... Really?
Then again, quoting further:
...the Tevatron is not a dedicated bottom quark “factpory.”
Sigh...
OK, it's not twice the amount... whatever :)
'To most people, it's a latte or two,' he added."
No, to most people it's twice the monthly fee for the same service...
As opposed to simply forgetting that pesky, "Well Regulated Militia" clause.
You understand that "Well Regulated Militia" meant (remember when this was written) a well-armed/stocked -- that's the 'regulated' part -- citizenry?
"I'm Just a Bill?" ;)
You're kidding, right? Look up Uighurs if you want one example...
In commercial aircraft? Even private airliners use jet turbines...
And, even if it did, where does it say that the military must be the size that it is?

Also, Amazon (as well as every online retailer) pays State taxes for sales to State residents (e.g., WA) that they have a presence in.
Other online retailers such as WalMart have a physical presence in CA and must therefore collect sales tax.

clarify privacy laws.

I was gonna say the same thing (about the headline, that is -- I welcome our Slashdot overlords...).
