Hmm, I spent some time in front of a computer or two in my earlier years that the local police brought into the shop to have us look for material for investigations... I was required to sign some paperwork about sharing the content, but that's about it.
As far as doing that job for a year? Maybe I'm an exception, but I don't think I'd have a problem doing it. Granted, I only had to do it for a few days every once in a blue moon.
someone in a Mazda Miata in a stock racing class (ie, limited modifications.) The Stanford car has more than 100HP over the Miata, all wheel drive, big brakes, and a dual-clutch gearbox that shifts virtually instantly.
The MX5/Miata routinely competes with much bigger and more powerful cars. It's renowned for it's handling and ability to take corners at much higher speeds than the bigger heavier and more powerful cars.
If we used addresses assigned by region it would be a great way to advertise locally.;)
Seriously though, that (subnet sand-boxing) would be a great method. Especially considering you could then just block whoever it was locally spamming you instead of having to globally filter every spammer.
Speaking from a bit of experience... There's a big difference in flying something sitting in a cockpit and sitting in a lawn chair. It's much easier actually being in the vehicle you are controlling and having all your appendages instead of just two thumbs to control with.
A lot of cars have those... usually under the Bose line, and it's annoying as hell. It's the first thing I turn off in a rental/personal vehicle. I'll control the volume myself, thank you very much.
Depends on the job/company. I've done phone interviews for a few companies, and if they thought I was worth a followup I would take a day off and drive to do it. (One was from Columbus, OH to Chicago ~6 hour drive, two states, and it cost me a tank of gas... which, at the time was $20.) It was a long day, I didn't get the job... but I did manage to snag a deep dish pizza out of it.
That seems really excessive to me. Did you ask what the point of that large of a deposit for water was? I think my biggest water bill (including sewer) has been $50. That was when I had a pipe burst because my neighbor moved out and left the heat off.
You know you don't have to move... right now. Right? You can wait a few months, grin and bear it. When you get a new job and/or get the money to move, you do it. Nobody is keeping you there. I've never known a utility that required a deposit, and as far as rental deposit... you don't have to move right now. If you are bound and determined to move, you'll save up what it costs to move.
I don't like the whole aspect of Big Brother, but we do have the freedom to freely move to any other location in this country without a Visa or other documents. That's why it's so vitally important to keep federal laws lean and let the States compete for your tax dollars.
If I went out and sold all my stuff... I'd have plenty of money to move to another state, maybe even a different country. Even if I didn't sell all my stuff, looking at U-haul rates right now... ~200 miles is about $300-$400 which is enough to get you out of pretty much any state. If you can't save a couple hundred bucks... you have bigger issues than big brother.
I've yet to find a nice small form factor PC that supports any sort of high end graphics (3D gaming/rendering... not video). Most of the SFF machines have built in crappy video cards and/or have no PCI-Express slot capability. It would be nice to have a motherboard with the ability to plug in a graphics card on the edge parallell to the mainboard itself. Unfortunately, the way the cards are designed, the heatsink would be under the plane of the motherboard unless the PCI-Express slot was moved to the other side of the CPU or a GPU with all it's components on the inverse side.
The only way I've found around that is to install a riser with a 90 degree bracket (Example) but these require that the board have a PCI-Express slot to begin with and most likely a custom mounting solution.
Being the submitter of the article from this morning, I think it raises another topic of conversation. Whether or not that deserves another story, or a thread on the other submitted story, I'll leave to the crowd to decide.
Who's to determine if an amendment is related? I mean, if you are talking about a budget act, one could argue that any amendment could be included because anything takes money. If I submit a bill that states: "Patents relating to software are hereby disallowed" (but of course, in legalese). What's to prevent someone from saying: "Well, Microsoft is involved heavily in software patents... therefore I amend that companies reporting as software entities be permitted a tax break because of this bill." Now, as an "unrelated" circumstance... Apple decides they are now a software company and they get a tax break on all hardware purchases."
I only mention something like this because of UPS and FedEx. During my time at UPS (I'm no longer involved in either) it was made very clear that UPS was considered a company covered by Railroad regulations and FedEx was covered by Airline regulations. They perform the same functions, but since UPS is older and didn't start as an air shipping company they are beholden to Union labor laws based on rail legislation and FedEx does not have union labor regulations. This recently came up as a topic and UPS was criticized for trying to bring FedEx under the same regulation as FedEx.
So who determines the validity and repercussions of an amendment?
From what I understand, OpenGL has more features because they support extensions where Direct3D has to wait for Microsoft support. Granted, this requires that the developer actually use those extensions. The blog is rather light on details/screenshots.

So were these websites/owners given a fair trial in court?

They need to keep engineer reserved for their most highly skilled certifications...
I consider myself libertarian, but I would not consider someone who upholds the law of the land to be a waste of land taxes.
Maybe you are thinking of the edge case libertarian... I mean anarchist?
Hell, if I could get 10 million people to let me borrow a $1 for 6 months... I'd gladly return their money after collecting interest off it.

Kim didn't want the world to see her videos, either.
I'm going to go out on a ledge here... yeah, she did.

Gah! Typo:"...UPS was criticized for trying to bring FedEx under the same regulation as UPS."

Or how about no amendments... pass or fail by the bill alone.
