This has little to do with understanding motorcycles. It's about balancing a huge speed machine on two wheels; I doubt it bears any but the most superficial resemblance to regular motorcycles. When you make such a stretch to call it a motorcycle you might as well just abandon the wheels altogether and have a rocket powered sled. Or just fly around on a rocket dragging a long cable behind you so you can technically call it a land speed record.
But drastically reducing the number of guns in the country would drive prices way up on the black market. If every gun had to be stolen from a cop or smuggled across the border then they'd be way expensive.
See, what happened in my case was that my vote got disqualified. Why? Government agencies don't talk to each other perhaps? I registered with my license. Why would that happen? Fraud perhaps? If the system didn't work for me the first time, why should I trust it the next?
I don't really have an opinion on gun control but I think this is wrong:
People murdered each other before guns were invented, removing them might make a few cases go away but won't impact the vast majority of homicides.
Premeditated murders maybe, but crime in general is greatly assisted by the availability of guns. The problem is that they're just so powerful. If you go into a bank with a knife and start waving it around and telling people to get on the ground they're just going to run away. But pull out a gun and everyone 10 meters around is going to obey every word because you can kill them instantly.
And people are defenseless against a gun but they can at least run or throw a chair or punch an attacker with a knife. And gun killings are easy and impersonal while with a knife the attacker has to struggle and get covered in blood and listen to screams or whatever.. much nastier
Swords are a problem I guess but they're impossible to carry concealed
I can't believe I even penetrated that wall of text far enough to where you start spouting nonsense
go ahead, ask any german. and this is superior to two parties how? you honestly believe it is the two party system that is keeping your FRINGE beliefs from gaining traction?
If the vote is to reflect public opinion, people should vote their own opinion. They don't need to try to help the system by guessing the most popular option.
Smuggling information has to be the easiest "crime" ever imagined. One-time pad it and email it across the border. CC a copy to the NSA for all it matters.
The single wheel on the U3-X is made up of many tiny motor-controlled wheels, packed inside the bigger wheel, allowing the device to swerve in any direction.
Sup dawg, we heard you like unicycling so we put some wheels in your wheel so you can unicycle while you unicycle
Hahaha what? Firefox's UI is by far the slowest of all major browsers. Layout is specified in XML and loaded dynamically every time it's needed. XUL is one of the most embarrassing aspects of Firefox. I don't think even a ribbon could make things any worse than they already are.
No way that it's as complex as that. My guess is that it gets used to linear motion like cars driving by and develops a tolerance for humans walking by on the way to work, but when there's lots of irregular motion in different directions (ie not just from one side of the frame to the other) there's a good chance something unusual is happening.
Your system lacks the element of "no human training" mentioned in the summary

But does it... run... linux... *head explodes*
To give you a more concrete feel of just how fast that is, it's about 3.25922905 * 10^-67 Universe diameters per Planck time.
That's true. Criminals will get guns anyway.

Huh?
Very good points. Fortunately, our two-party system helps with that. If you only have two candidates then there's no need for strategic voting.
If the vote is to reflect public opinion, people should vote their own opinion. They don't need to try to help the system by guessing the most popular option.
Presumably you have an existing relationship with the person across the border..
You mean steganography.

Pleasant? That would be terrifying. Not that the US is any safer, but at least we have this nice security theater to calm my nerves.
Reminds me of the jetsons

Personally I never use any computer with a monitor output just in case there's a TEMPEST rig nearby..
Well it's in their constitution, right?
Yeah, it's almost like Germany never ratified the United States Bill of Rights...
You'll know more than most slashdotters after the 3MB of images linked from the summary brings that server to its knees.
Funny you should mention what? Or are you just hijacking the first post?
I found this page and regret my words
puppet is powerful (ridiculous that it uses its own scripting language when it's written in Ruby)
still, that list of checkboxes in the AD group policy editor is pretty nice, with all the descriptions there and such for the most common properties
I was going to say something to this effect too but I don't use them enough to be confident. RDP really is a fantastic tool.
Don't forget Google Calendar which can be shared across workgroups or organizations
