If they want that information all they have to do is go down to the DVM and get it
No, they can't. The DMV only tracks the license plate, vehicle VIN, and registered owner. It does not track when and where what plate was scanned by what camera. The DMV can't tell them, when they discover that a particular house was a meth lab, that your car was parked in front of that house every Tuesday night for the past two years. The DMV records won't show that your car, over the past two years, had made stops on subsequent Wednesdays at a few neighbourhood school yards, and Fridays around the block from a sleazy hotel.
What a small,sterile little world you live in, where the only source of genetic material in a child is its mother and father. Do a little bit of research on viruses, especially retroviruses, and horizontal gene transfer.
Just one comment, it is very likely, that as a billionair, all the money you have on you will be in plastic cards, giving you a very small wallet, while poor people may have a lot more money in coins, which are thicker and add up pretty quickly.
Not that I am insinuating that your manhood is not of monstrous proportions.
Coins are also easier to keep in a sock than a wallet; which is handy because, rich or poor, problems are often best dealt with by bringing financial weight to bear.
Actually, I knew a treasury advisor before he died - the man advised COUNTRIES on how to handle their treasuries and finances. I'm not suggesting its related, but the world financial scene has gone downhill quite a bit since he died. My point though is that finance can be offshored. As a matter of fact that's what the Cayman Island and Swiss bank accounts are all about.
Here's one from my wife (native Californian female):
Hey, it's me. I just cannot. I about bye bye do hanging in there. Later has hey, if you're gonna you know I love you bye bye.
Still not so good.
I don't understand... isn't that just how California girls talk?
No. Notice that the word "Totally" wasn't there, nor was "like", nor "to the max".
"Hey, its me. I, like, just cannot. I'm totally about bye bye, like, do hanging in there. Later has hey, like if you're gonna, you know, I like totally love you to the max. Bye bye".
Actually, it was an optimizing compiler. My code ran something like this:
If (Func1() or Func2()) then...
The compiler decided that if Func1() returned true, there was no point in executing Func2(), as it wasn't going to make the OR statement any truer. The debugger had different ideas, though, and ran both Func1() and Func2(). Both functions needed to run for the program to work properly.
Tell me about it. One stray semicolon can ruin your whole day. Also, what's up with code that fails to work properly except when it is connected to a debugger?
Back in July 2010, Microsoft claimed that SmartScreen on Internet Explorer had already blocked over a billion attempts to access sites containing security risks.
So... was that from virus infected machines attempting to access further malware, or is that a TSA style stat about how many "terrorists" they've stopped.
Many have already pointed out that making an unreadable font would really only protect against physical letters (as in, mail, not email) being read, or perhaps text being distributed through raster images.
That's exactly what he's trying to do. He's trying to make an un-OCR-able font. Of course, that will only last until the OCR software is trained against his font, but hey! It'll be good for a week.

This isn't about license plate data. This is about which vehicle was where at what time data.
Yeah, It's all fun and games until some schmuck who borrowed his buddy's car to grab a pizza gets gunned down by the cops at a drive through ATM.
Couldn't there be, at most, 50 different guys?
What? Canadians, and South and Central Americans can't drive there?
I know that I want this. Being able to stream PC games to a handheld anywhere in the house opens up more gaming time.
Anywhere in the house, eh? Why don't you just read the shampoo bottle, or count tiles like the rest of us.

It's a side effect of a failing education system and the reoccurring theme that problem should be answered with fists instead of the brain.
So we should head-butt them instead of punching them?

Fill out forms? Get tossed in the trash? What kind of tin plated, vacuum tube, backward part of the country are you from?
Resumes are submitted electronically, and they are filtered by keyword before a human ever looks at them. Sheesh!
Stress causes grey hair. Show me an IT person who has a stress free job... I dare you.
Tell them, you want to gain a level in your career and that your age should help you there.
Don't say age. Tell them your experience should help.
You can't just increase the strength of one link on a chain and call it good.
You can, if it is the weakest link.
To the best of my knowledge, my fingerprint does not exist in any database, so good luck linking one to my address.

It's an easy problem to solve.
Yeah, somebody needs to code up an answering machine app.

Ah, yes! It all becomes clear. Google is simply a front for the NSA.

They've spoken to Barr and it's entirely possible he indicated he would rather then not shut it down at this point.
If that were the case, he wouldn't be ranting about it on his blog, and we wouldn't have a story.
This is exactly what the asteroid mining dream is like.
Adecco has publicly admitted it was "a mistake" and they want to "make it right".
So why is "Around the World in 80 Jobs" still plastered all over the Adecco website? Step one of "make it right" is to cease infringing.
... unless the "make it right" was a public outcry publicity stunt by Barr and Adecco.

A point that doesn't accomplish anything is pointless.
