The best solution is to ask for both the question AND the answer. On the few sites that do it this way, I use "questions" that wouldn't even have meaning to anyone but me, but that I can instantly provide the answer to.
As an added bonus, certain family members, who I would actually WANT to be able to guess these in case something happened to me would be able to figure them out with a minute or two of thought.
Yet another possibility is that the officer had the gun in the wrong mode. Most radar guns & in-car radar have "stationary" and "moving" modes. In moving mode, the gun has to figure out how fast the officer's car is going, and add/subtract that from the speed of the target. Being in the wrong mode could easily cause this error.
I've used some of these, and done exactly this. Had the gun in "moving" mode while I was stationary, and had a "WTF? He can't *possibly* be going that fast!" moment.
Of course, if that's the case, shame on the officer for not double-checking (or worse, trying to "save face").
I'm not sure I'd want to test a system like that on uniformly formulated faux urine, regardless of how cheap it was. Not everyone using the facilities is going to put the same thing down it.
Maybe so, but there are a few other factors at play today: 1. It's now very easy for revolutionaries to get information out to the populace on a wide scale. 2. Once actual hostilities started, it would get *everyone's* attention, instead of the apathy we have now 3. Our current regime would respond by becoming even more repressive, thus driving more people to become revolutionary. 4. Our soldiers are some of our biggest patriots; I've talked to several who've said they'll be first in line if things ever get that bad.
I think that most Christian denominations (I'm Lutheran) acknowledge that, as humans, it's *impossible* to practice exactly what they preach. What they preach is the standard to which we should aspire.
The entire point of Christianity is that Jesus was the only one who was actually able to perfectly practice the preaching, and the only way the rest of us less-than-perfect humans could be saved was if he took our punishment for us.
Not really... If I was an insurer, I'd want to send you to the person most likely to get you well the first time, rather than sending you to (and paying for) doctor after doctor.
I had one professor that was too lazy to keep changing the book every year. He just wrote up some crappy software that was required to be able to do the coursework, then threatened an instant fail for anyone caught violating the software license by selling it along with the textbook. The only place to get a legal copy of the software was along with a new (very expensive) textbook.
The above observation could also simply result from the fact that the fat people are lazier, while the people willing to put forth the effort to cook would also put forth the effort to stay in shape.
I know you're joking, but many "directional" audio cables are simply referring to which end of the cable the shielding is grounded to. Using "signal direction" just helps the unwashed masses get it the right way around (you're supposed to ground the cable on the source end).
Of course, in this case even that doesn't apply...
So basically, we're not going to give you the right to be an antisocial retard and annoy everyone else, one way or another. So you can choose between (1) losing any use of that phone in some situations and places, completely, or (2) having some lesser restrictions enforced by it. I hardly think that #2 is the less functional. It's a social problem, so I think a social solution would be better, not a technology that forces a "solution." Using technology is treating the symptom (rude cell phone use, etc.) rather than the disease (people have no manners).
You've been modded funny, but I'm willing to bet that where I live (Dallas/Ft.Worth area), there are far more legally armed citizens in a 50 mile radius than there are men in every standing army in the world combined.
Sure, you could just raze the place from orbit, but actually invade?
I was just about to say something similar. Any wrist pain I've ever had has been solved in about 5 minutes by my chiropractor. Ditto for back, knee, neck, etc.
I don't think the original "injury" is usually caused by the repetitive motions, it's just aggravated by it. Fix the problem, not the symptoms.
Wish the company would have one on staff, so I didn't have to pay for it, though...
If you want to write to representatives to let them know your views, contact details are available at Write to Them." ...and be sure to mention how much easier it will be for their rivals to dig up dirt on them in the future!
Almost... Powering electrolysis seems like an ideal application for solar power. Especially if you could use space-based mirrors to focus it. If your facility is offshore, a "miss" will only boil a little water.
Not sure why you say don't bother. I have nearly 100,000 mailboxes behind Postini, including, of course my own. I haven't had a SINGLE SPAM hit my inbox the entire time I've been working here (almost two years). Yes, I do get some false positives (I have the filters turned up to max), but the nice thing about Postini is that it sends a daily summary of your quarantine, so I spend about 5 seconds scanning the email, and can deliver false positives via a hyperlink.
Currently, I can't run a comprehensive report for all users, but here are some stats for a subset of "only" 53,000 for April:
over 409 million emails totalaling over 2TB only 11.4 million forwarded to inboxes (2.8%) 341 million blackholed, and 56.7 million quarantined.
It ain't bad at all. We used to do this ourselves, but scaling that environment up to our current volume would mean about 30 Linux/sendmail frontend relays with Spamhaus datafeed feeding 30 front-end Tumbleweed filter boxes with about 12 back-end/logging servers. Very expensive and a *lot* of headaches.
Actually, if I was the FBI/NSA, I would be using your guaranteed absence as an opportunity to have free run of your house for a few days in order to thoroughly pwn it with other bugs.

So, since SOME people abuse less-lethal force options, those options shouldn't exist?
SOME people abuse p2p file sharing software, so I guess we shouldn't have that, either?
Slashdot double standard?

I have a feeling that if electric cars become commonplace, we'll start seeing a *lot* of parking lots covered over in solar cells...
Aside from long trips, my car spends WAY more time sitting around in a sunny climate than it does moving.
Not really... If I was an insurer, I'd want to send you to the person most likely to get you well the first time, rather than sending you to (and paying for) doctor after doctor.
Exactly... someone with the money to invest is going to make a FORTUNE by buying up landfills and sitting on them until all this stuff is scarce.
You're lucky, then.

9/11 didn't "just" kill 3000 people. It also caused the erosion of rights and privacy for an additional 300 million, and triggered two wars.

Not accidents, but breast cancer
You're exactly right. It's horribly complicated.
:P
That's why everyone has to consider their own unique situation. Unfortunately, that requires thinking, so I won't keep my hopes up.
I'm sure eventually we'll be able to edit some of those flaws out of our genes, but that opens up its own huge can of ethical worms.
