Or better yet, we work to turn the instruments on those same people. Transparency is key and requires just as much work as enforcing your privacy. Who watches the watchers?
I like how TF2 has that Nemesis indicator when you are owning one person or vice versa - it definitely adds to the fun to single out some dude and stick the knife in when they have thwarted you for several spawns!
I can definitely sympathize with that! I think it would be fun to have just a C&C position, with no presence on the BF (like a spectator), and you could order the UAV scans, air strikes, helicopters, etc as your team earned different abilities. Also included would be the ability to listen in on enemy chatter and relate that info to your team. That way, both sides would keep the chatter low or use codephrases, etc to be more efficient.
To be more real-world-based, you might add in the C&C as a position on the map, like the flag, that could be disabled, blinded, hindered, destroyed, etc in order to hamper the enemy.
I found these great Velcro tie wraps at Home Depot the other day. You get like 50 of them for about 5 bucks and they stay tethered to the cables. They are great for cabling.
Sorry, he's right. The federal government we set up was designed to have states make more decisions than the feds. That was part of why we left England - we wanted more local rights in decisions, not some far-off monarch or executive overseas or in D.C. making the decision for us. There are already state decisions that affect the First amendment, and other states choose to accept the amendments or not. Look up the D.C. Handgun Ban bill for a good explanation of the issue.
It would be nice to see the tv & cable manufacturers start using the strain-relief connectors that are used on professional applications. The appliance has a steel hook that's part of the device frame, and the cable has the last 6 inches wrapped in a steel insulate that hooks onto the back of the appliance. It goes a long way in keeping my BNC connectors safe from people yanking or stepping on the cords.
Try George Martin's novels. They read well and don't have the ponderous feel of most fantasy novels. He used to write for television and does an excellent job. He has a fantasy series known as the Song of Fire and Ice which is a great read. You don't feel the same exact boring fantasy tropes trotted out for thousands of pages, and he keeps you involved in all the story threads.
The cut off is on the parental side. The parent vouches for the child's performance in school. That makes good sense to me. This involves good parenting.
Exactly. You pay your taxes to flush into a common, public sewer system, vs having a septic system or your own outhouse. You do not have the expectation of privacy in this case.
Exactly - you can dispute a failed deposit with a receipt, and the bank has your account details along with an audit of what they took in each day. The voting system keeps each vote anon to prevent someone from punishing you for a vote for the opposition.
Right, but part of the issue is for how long you get electrocuted. If you get sent to the electric chair, it functions by shocking you twice. The first time is to get the adrenaline out of your system, as it will re-start your heart when the rhythm is interuppted. The second chair shock then stops your heart after there is not enough go juice to restart the heart. Thusly, most breakers would trip after they reach their amperage peak if you get caught in the middle. You get a bad shock, perhaps your heart stops for a bit, and the adrenaline in most cases will start things back up. But when you get in the path of something without a small breaker at the other end like a street service, you keep getting shocked until it doesn't matter about the adrenaline anymore, and you are dead. You always hear about the 1/10th of an amp to kill, but most devices have a breaker that provides your system enough room to start back up again, given the adrenaline available.
In Mexico City, there are lots of electrocutions from poor people climbing the pole and running their own "service" to their shack, as the drop is very dangerous without a reasonably-amped breaker.
You missed the part where the bureaucracy decides what is a legit carbon sink and will be useful to abate the harms from warming. That's where the Congress steps in and plunders / grafts so the proceeds fund some new boondoggle. The transparent process cannot exist with a bureaucracy.
Word to that. Rest in peace, little router. Wait, it's still running and working quite flawlessly. And I have the Slug harddrive network appliance as well. Another delightful bulletproof linksys appliance.
It is an improvement over the olden days where someone who had more money or power than you, would simply treat you as they felt, and if you fought back, would have you slapped in irons, impressed in a navy, or various body parts removed. British Common Law was a big step forward for civilization. The lawyers aren't the problem here. They exist as a buffer between people with problems. Better a fight with lawyers than a fight with guns.
Also please keep in mind that the Patriot Act covers many of these financial situations. The Supreme Court would not extend the Constitutional rights to people outside the country. That is why we use the extraordinary rendition tactics of torture - to keep those prisoners away from American soil and extended rights of due process & so on. Then we reclassify them as a third class of combatant outside of Prisoner of War and Enemy Combatant, so we can ignore Geneva. Back to the Patriot Act however - it covers money laundering as well as dealings with Axis-of-Evil countries as both being targets for freeze or seizure. Not sure why this extra order was needed as well.
Same reason why I disagree with showing a driver license when voting. only a matter of time before someone scans the license and then figures out how you personally voted.

That which governs least, governs best. They should work like 3 weeks a year.

Is this how Iran is going to shut down the Internet?

Camper. Real snipers are trained to take the shot then move immediately to another position to avoid being detected.

Muhammad was a fan of early Christianity and quite clearly copied many ideas from it. He even mentions Jesus in his writings as one of the prophets.

Glad also that I never picked up the Xbox 360 drive for 160.00. Now if they started using it for games, it might have made a difference...

Senate vs House of Representatives. Which one works better?

I don't have a data plan on my current phone due to cost. I'd get this thing for that alone!
