I got a ticket in Dallas once, and my dad got one in Miami recently. Looking at the pictures, and even the video in my case) you can see the infraction...but you can't see the person in the car. Now I don't have tints or anything, but the video is shot from the back in both of those cases and you can't see me or my father. When I got my ticket (several weeks after the incident), I was honestly not sure if it was me or my then-girlfriend driving my car that day.
So how is it legal for them to ticket en masse without verifying identity, only identifying the car itself?
I don't know why I bother anymore, but: It's not a bailout or a handout. The first draft Paulson tried to ram through was pretty close to a handout, but now the gov is taking stakes in banks.
Is it a handout when I buy stock in a bank, expecting to make a return? Now obviously there are other motivations than profit here for the government (i.e. to steady the credit markets, prevent failures, etc) but they MAY come out in the black on this. Buffet made this point clear when he said he'd gladly take a 1% stake in this given the chance. He supported it.

I hear the same problem come up when we talk about wind energy. Opponents talk about the fact that wind energy is intermittent so it will break the grid. They speak as if we can't fix the problem, so we should give up on wind energy.
yea but when will they get decent full screen video performance out on linux? I've tried 5 different machines, different video cards and drivers...none of them can put out a decent full screen gootube frame rate.

It's wishing for more wishes...
so are they not going to do anything about the older cards? are the OSS drivers perfect?
Thx creative, finally! Now someone can fix your crap.
do you work for TY?
Ok ok...im just giving you a hard time...I can vouch for TY media quality in my personal experience.
Thank you for that post. I've found myself in that argument and never been able to put my sentiments into words that well.
I should print that out and carry it around in my wallet.

Well buying at all is a stupid move if you forsee a collapse in property prices in your area. Rent not own people!
But let's not pretend that we all saw this coming. The drop in housing prices we're seeing now really is unprecedented-at least in recent history.
Glad to see Dan's data getting slashdotted. He's been so good for so long, but not many people know of him.
Hope he doesn't become too cool to continue to answering my questions, now that he's hit the bigtime.
BTW: way to go dan's servers, not eating yoruself.

Clinton no longer has to lean to the center to vie for the presidency.
"...needs a drastic overhaul..."
It's good to hear someone else say this.

No we should fix the damned grid.
Maybe you shouldn't own the damned thing then? You should just lease it and pay insurance on it.
I think the key problem and challenge is getting people to standardize on the batteries--it would be GREAT if they did.

So does anyone know what kind of resolution the typical "good" medium format lenses top out at? That's a lotta data.
Maybe we can pack it into a spaceship and dispose of it, by sending it the only obvious place...the sun.
