Semantics. The bus/taxi presumably has this licence plate and a drive with a valid drivers licence. In your example, you are simply goods that are transported by someone that has the privilege.
As I noted in a reply to a different post basically saying the same as you... You're basically saying that everyone that pays taxes are allowed to use the roads? Even though they don't have a licence, or said licence has been revoked? Even though the taxpayers pay (through the nose, I might add), are "the people" fit to control the use of the roads?
Do you suggest that everyone that does not have a licence, or has had it revoked, should still be able to use this privilege because they are paying taxes?
Happens every winter here in Norway so I recognize that. They are pretty nice when stopping cars, not giving a ticket unless it is obvious that the driver is negligent (ie, the windscreen is mostly covered in snow).
So you consider the use of licence plates for cars a slippery slope? There is a very visible difference between taking a stroll on the sidewalk and controlling a several-ton metal hunk at high speeds. I sort of agree with your sentiment, except that I percieve using a car on the road is a privilege, and strolling on the sidewalk a right.
I consider using the state-provided roads as a privilege, not a right, that requires your car to be identifiable by a valid licence plate. If the plates are obscured, either by dirt or by purpose, isn't it reasonable to give a ticket to deter this?
Being sucked into Saturn's gravity well doesn't make it impossible to land on Titan. Titan just might happen to be in the way;) Likely? Slightly more than a snowball in hell. Impossible? In theory atleast;)
Being built as a module makes it no different from an in-kernel driver once it is loaded. A crashing driver would have the same effect whether it's a module or not.
You believe you can trust in paper just because it is widespread and been in use for a while. But there are inherent problems with paper too - ballot theft, miscounting etc. You can't ignore problems like an overzealous volunteer counting a few hundred more votes for his favorite candidate.
Isn't this solved by putting the ballots in envelopes, having two (independent, separate of each other) persons count the envelopes. Then having two (also independent separated persons) count the votes. If there is a discrepancy, start over?
I get this screen when my 6 months old Acer PC is resuming from standby and I try to type in my password to log in. I have to wait a few seconds before I can type. There's no visual cues or anything preventing me from starting to type.
It's kind of similar to the bug that was in an early version of the firmware on Siemens ME/S45 mobile phones. If you opened the calendar in the month of April, the phone would promptly turn off (If the phone crashes, it turns off, presumably to ensure a reset). Some bugs just boggle the mind. How do they manage to create a bug like that at all?
That all rests on your "family and friends" also living nearby. If not, you either spend a heck of a lot more time on public transit, or just as much gas/time in your car (which you would also have to pay hideously expensive parking for). Or, (far more likely in this case) you're just a asocial geek with no friends/family...
In the case of a democracy, this means buying off the other branches of government and the media. (This differs from a theocracy, where instead they buy off the media and the other branches of government.
There also were some studies relating to the evaporation of water. As it turns out, evaporation rates are not only affected by such things as ambient temperature and wind, but also by photons hitting the water surface.
No shit? You're saying that light (especially the IR part of the spectrum) helps evaporate water? That can't be right...
"Bug" is more concise than "a software flaw which causes behavior the developers didn't intend", "bootstrap" is more concise than "software which loads the boot-loader". "Cloud" is just "internet".
"Bug" is just "flaw", "Cloud" is more concise than "an enormous, globally interconnected network".

Mind if I come over and DUI on your roads? It is my right, as you point out. Read a few of mine (and other) replies to similar posts.

And... "Old-timer"? I was frequenting a year or two before I signed up, and I'm not that old.

I have the exact opposite reaction.. The more police I meet, the more I like them. That might just be me being lucky meeting goodguys though...

Still won't solve the problem of support though

William Shatner - LSD
Happy Days themesong
Weird Al - White and Nerdy.
Any more obvious songs?
I think the part the GP meant was actually "Happy Days", which is the favourite theme song of the geek in the music video

I believe the number is 97% from other sources than humans.
