In one of my extended studies classes (8th grade if I remember correctly) the teacher came to school wearing one blue and one black shoe. Both shoes were the same style... just different shades of color. She excused it as "getting ready in the dark."
You reminded me of that day and I thought it was pertinent in some dark twisted way.
Who's to say it isn't or wasn't? For all we know, outside the observable universe is just more universe infinitely scaling up to a large organism that is fighting another large organism made up of like universes fighting each other with giant disintegration rays that make their target expand until they break apart. Maybe we are a particle in a creature who has been hit by such device..
Ah, Fluffernutters... there are many who say you haven't really lived until you've taken a bite out of one of these distinctly American treats!
Long a staple of playgrounds, after-school snacks, college dorms, and the local diner, a Fluffernutter is a wonderful concoction of Marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter in a delightfully tasty sandwich!
Distinctly American? After-School, College, local diner...
I feel like I'm missing something because I've never heard of fluffernutter before and I've been here in the US (I always assume when someone says American, they mean US...) all my life. I did take a week and Canada where I was introduced to poutine, but that's technically still America.
You can try (and by all means, I support any efforts) but there's a membrane (glass ceiling?) that has to be broken through for people to even seriously consider someone running via Youtube, etc. You'll never be invited to any debates, people will not do research on their own to find out what you support and they will continue to vote for the person with "experience". You pretty much have to start from the city/local government at a young age and work your way up to be considered for spots that are intended to be filled by common citizens, but you're not going to be a common citizen if you work up the ladder and you have to dedicate your life to it unless you have a ton of money to spend on ramping up that campaign.
You can run, but you won't win... People keep crying out that they want to curb career politicians, but when you have Joe Nobody on the ballot vs. someone you've seen on the TV, people will vote for the one they saw on TV.
Ohio is ~$30K... yes, I know about the laws you are referring to, but if you don't have 30K to put away "forever" you are going to be at the will of the Insurance Company.
In some states you can provide financial responsibility without insurance. It's going to cost you a large chunk of money held by the state, but it's possible.
In Ohio, Financial Responsibility includes: A certificate issued by the BMV, after proper application and approval, indicating that money or government bonds in the amount of $30,000 is on deposit with the Ohio Treasurer; A certificate of bond issued by the BMV, after proper application and approval, in the amount of $30,000 signed by two individuals who own real estate having equity of at least $60,000; A certificate of self-insurance issued by the BMV, after proper application and approval, to those with more than 25 motor vehicles registered in their name or a company's name.
This is actually a really bad step down a steep slope, even odds within five years at least one state requires this to run a motor vehicle (or tries to).
Technically, they don't need to make a law to require it, it's already law. If an insurance company says you are not covered because you didn't have the tracking device installed, you are going to get a driving suspension (in my state) for failure to provide financial responsibility... and they ask your insurance company if you are covered so it's technically up to them already.
Which is pretty sad because I'll bet most accidents occur on the side streets opposed to the highway where you'll be driving at a higher rate of speed. So those of us that routinely spend 95% of our time on a highway will have higher insurance even though we are in a less accident risk activity?
It just makes me ask, as an atheist, can I file a suit that says all references to God mocks my opinion and have Google remove those links from every search?

I'm more interested in how much money was spend doing the seize. I could imagine that tax bill may exceed the ~$5 million depending on what equipment they bought and how many people they paid to track down/seize/value all the stuff.
I never understood why file servers didn't use low power processors. Recently we've seen more and more ARM NAS devices, but I figured FTP servers and such would use these "lower end" processors simply because they only need to perform minimal computation to validate users and serve files.

I could only imagine the pain he would have woken up to sleeping on his shoulder like that.
What the... are you some crazed lunatic trying to attack religion? You religion hating bigot!! Why can't you let the religious be?
*smacks self across face*
Oh. Sorry, I almost fell into the trap that's being played out here in the US when someone mentions removing "God" from the dollar/pledge.
Another way to prevent athlete's foot is to remove the feet. Head lice is simple too: remove the h...air.
We want them to be afraid of computers in case they (the computers, not the kids) decide to take over.

What if you are actually writing software for a pimp or dog breeding?

The keyboard just hasn't been updated to support "predict" or "comfort" yet. It's coming in the next update.

Kind of... if you had twitter notify you every time you got a tweet instead of checking your twitter feed.
Yep, it would be like /. telling you when there's a new story instead of hitting their servers every 2 minutes trying to find out if there are any.

I was always taught that it was enacted to prevent States from restricting trade between neighboring states... not to prevent trade.
So YOU are the one behind all this!
