Perhaps tougher penalties and larger fines for people who actually drive drunk would be a better idea.
My brother-in-law is a chronic drunk driver. They slap him on the wrists and tell him "Don't do it again, okay?"
The police do not enforce his 'no driving' order, as he has a job driving large industrial equipment that he got after his conviction.
The Government's solutions are stupid. You drink and drive, you lose your licence for life so you don't have a chance to hit a busload of kids in the future.
Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. That does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee - an eight foot tall Wookiee - want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!
What does that have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense!
Look at me, I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense.
And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense.
None of this makes sense.
If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
I've been reading post after post on this subject and I have some interesting steps to get by this one.
1) Excercise and diet until you look good.
2) Quit your job.
3) Travel south until your hit tropical blue water.
4) Take off your shoes and socks, sit on the beach and relax and wait for some pretty girl to start buying your drinks because you "look good" now. There's not a single person in this world that can rule your life. You're in complete control, so enjoy it while you can.

Arrested: 34 year old parking lot attendant at a plant that makes resistors and diodes that's used in the Sony Plasystation 2 that was played by a 11 year old kid who punched out his little sister. Police say the child was playing an ultra violent video game named Football 2003. The charge: Contributing to the delinquency to a minor.
I've been a Mandrake user exclusively for two years. I love thier distribution.
I'm saddened to hear that they filed for the French version of Chapter 11, which I understand means certain death for them.
However, if they're smart, they'll move back to their US offices and continue from there. If they die off completely, it'll be a smack in the face to Linux, even though the problems were caused by bad management.
I'm aprehensive to use a new distro, Mandrake has been my life-blood for many years.
Luckily, Debian, Suse, and Gentoo exist for me to evaluate as a Mandrake replacement. (I won't go the Red Hat route, they've become the Microsoft of the Linux world-- It's their way or the highway.)
The best part of Linux is that there's choice. I shed a tear for Mandrake. I'll miss it.
Why should this even make news? Sure, there are sites that will mimic Google because they're good. Google is not the only site out there of it's type. It's the users who will choose which one will work best for them. It's good to see some competition.
Mandrake is leaving the future of it's distro in the hands of the people who can pay $120 a year for the privledge. I use Mandrake and have no say whatsoever. Who are these people Kidding? There's only 5% of Mandrake users who are paying club members. Open up the voting or we're moving to a new distribution!
What about those on bicycles, electric cars and three-year-olds on Big Wheels (Or the electric Power Wheels)? This negates the concept of Gasoline taxes.
I say, dump all taxes we currently know including the IRS, and slapping a standard 20% federal sales tax. The rich pay more, the poor pay less.
The real problem here is the cost of the damn sets and "optional" tuners. Here's the answer:
Integrate the tuner and sell the sets at cost to get them out the door.
Until then, the technology would never catch on. I have trouble spending $200 on a new TV, let alone $2000.
If analog sets are no longer being manufactured in the future and only HDTV sets exist at current prices, I'll happily go without TV (and probably regain my life back!).
For example, if they REQUIRE that you use your right thumb for scanning, and this digit happened to get blown off years ago in a freak fireworks accident, are you refused the ability to pay at that store?

How hard is this concept?

...Novell should publicly revoke SCO's licene to Unix.
Holy shit, that would be interesting... and funny.

Roxio can kiss my shiny metal ass.
Being one to work with Solar panels for years, this discovery (even at only 10% efficency) is fantastic.
Panels that are 600W are $2400.00US. Now we're looking at the possibility of 600W for $120.00US.
Solar panels will truly (and finally) catch on as a reliable alternative to "the grid."
Also, lets not forget all the states that give a nice tax break to those people purchasing panels of any kind.
...does she have a sister?

I have 2 servers, 10 pcs and 1 notebook. Now tell me again what is sufficient.
Maybe IBM should buy whatever's left of Mandrake. Then IBM will clean up in the Linux world!
I've finally found a reason to stop complaining that my tax money isn't being properly used. Now I'll happily pay my taxes!

HT = Yet *another* threat to Microsoft. Not only are the Linux servers reliable, but they just sped up 30 to 50%!
Why can't we use it in our cars?

I can't figure out why Apple won't release Quicktime for Linux. Isn't OS X a BSD derivative? It's not like they haven't already done it...

Actually, it's a monitor that automatically vacuums all the crumbs and crap out of your keyboard at specified times.

They associate fingerprints with all other personal information.
This information can be given to anyone including law enforcement. Does law enforcement have EVERYONE'S fingerprints on file? Now they do!
