I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their sugar caves. In fact, forget the rounding up others, I'll toil just fine. And forget the blackjack.
All they have is a picture of a fake license plate changed to look like mine on someone else's car which is purposefully running redlight cameras.

Over the course of my life, I've come across any number of people who have a tendency towards sequential fallings-out with one person after another, who project the "fault" as being the other's.
And you're positive that it's the "any number of people's" fault? Good for the goose, good for the gander.;)
They get the same dumbed down software solutions that they've been getting all along. Example: first generation iPhone can handle video and speech recognition on jailbroken phones, but only the 3GS gets those _software_ features added in vanilla iPhone OS 3.0.
one of the reasons why there will never be a true Democracy. The elite in every society tells the commoner and new initiate what to think, and for the most part they fall in line.
Except this prof proved he was elite by making the mobiles kill his victims. He tried to dictate like in your example above. The commoners would have none of it. He wasn't an initiate either.
If we all have unique id numbers to identify us, then someone can impersonate us by knowing that number.
But of course, if we did not have unique id numbers to identify us it would be even easier for someone to impersonate us.
Without ID: "I am Napoleon!" "Here's a white coat, sire. Long Sleeves, befitting Imperial majesty."
With ID: "I am Napoleon! Release me!" *displays falsified ID* "At once! Please forgive us you majesty!"
In other words, once people get used to using ID numbers, they stop getting used to thinking and using webs of trust. "I called Jim over in the hospital, Mr. Napoleon. It seems he knows you. He's coming by to visit you in a few minutes. Juice?"
It's worth noting that the deterrent in question [...] is applied pretty inconsistently. Only a tiny percentage [...] are targeted[...]. Someone has probably researched how such things correlate to the effectiveness of the deterrent, but I haven't looked into it. Purely talking out of my ass, I suspect it weakens the social effect considerably.
Slightly edited, this fits speeding laws, enforcement, ticketing, and the revenue stream of such. Imagine if speeding laws were enforced uniformly and swiftly (a la the GPS system suggested recently); no more ticket money. The RIAA wants this kind of money, so they'll be sure not to over-fish these waters.
I for one welcome our new mental overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a slashdot poster with excellent karma, I can be helpful in subjecting
others to their written equivalent to earworms.
Try to listen to some popular music with an objective standpoint, or popular movies, and see exactly what Western culture is.
If you think popular* media represents western culture, you haven't spent a lot of time in western society. Do Japanese anime and sushi encapsulate Japanese culture?
*heavily marketed, because people wouldn't care for it otherwise
Any privilege elevation exploit will benefit anyone seeking elevated privileges on your equipment. This included law enforcement, the mafia and your mom.
My mom's a dirty cop working for the Mafia, you insensitive jerk!
What disturbs me significantly more is that a child can have such deep and painful psychological problems without a parent, or a teacher, or a neighbor, or a peer, noticing this and doing something about it.
Depression can be isolating, often to the point where it's hidden until it's too late. Unless you're used to looking for the signs, they're easily overlooked.
Gambia's president claims he has cure for AIDS: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17244005/
No need for a vaccine, people. When will people learn that science can't hold a candle to sympathetic magic?
FYI, I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice. Ask your Doctor if Gambia's President's magic is right for you.
Not to mention that using sidewalks are impractical as a cyclist.
Huh? Whenever I use a bicycle I _always_ use the sidewalks, stop at intersections, and generally behave like a pedestrian. It's much more practical and safe for ALL parties involved. I even see bike cops doing it unless there's a dedicated bike lane.
That car in front of you that is being inconvenient and a nuisance, should they drive on the sidewalk as well?
Pedestrians have the right of way on a cross-walk, should they jump out into traffic? Your analogy is flawed. If bicyclists could drive at 45-60mph, and wore leather like motorcyclists do, I'd welcome them on the road, and treat them like motorcyclists. As things stand now, a bicycle is no different from a go-cart or suped-up lawnmower, and go-carts and lawnmowers aren't road-legal.
I bet the real money's gonna come from the iPhone app based on the movie.
I can see it now. To turn your ship, you have to use the 3GS's new compass mechanism, so you'll see iphone users spinning in circles, looking at their phone and saying "pew, pew!"
People don't watch for cyclists on the road, they are even worse looking for cyclists riding across driveways. It's far more dangerous for the cyclist to ride on the sidewalk.
Then maybe the cyclists shouldn't ride across driveways where there's a car backing up. No matter what, if I'm riding a bike, I'd rather hit or get hit by a car going 5mph than one going 40+mph.
On a bike, I can:
easily see 340 degrees around me
stop much faster than a car
react to danger better
easily not hit a pedestrian if he/she is in my path, and warn them too.
Bicyclists are so much like pedestrians; they're like skaters or push-scooters in terms of their performance capabilities and safety. They do not belong on near-highways, they belong with the pedestrians.

This is the fundamental aspect of business that many in washington do not understand.
Just because they act to the contrary doesn't mean they don't understand.
What are you worried about? They obviously fall off. BTW, read up on female hyenas some time...

Cyclist are not allowed to use sidewalks.
Because of stupid laws from 1920-1930
Not to mention that using sidewalks are impractical as a cyclist.
