Obviously some retard behind the counter at the DMV shouldn't.

If this happened to a private company they would be dragged into court and sued to death, or at least be forced to drastically change policies. Will that happen to the DMV? hell no. They might start a study on methods to control data, and in 3 years the company that got tho no bid contract to do the study will report that it will cost X to implement, which the legislature will reject due to budget constraints.

You have a lot more choice in the matter than with governmental agencies.

. . . ummmm every asshole does jump in a car, every day. Or do you think that the DMV regulates drivers? Because regulation means that some cant do it, and with tests for a drivers licence entirely on a computer and renewals online, they arent actually regulating -anything-, except for age.

These anti-regulation people would say that the market adjusts and insurance prices would keep the bad drivers off the road. Do you honestly think that without a drivers licence telling people that they can drive that millions would die? ...because.... no. A drivers licence literally only tells you that you are over 18, and that is it.

It might interest you that there used to be way fewer teachers, no administrators, no dept of education ... and the quality of education was way higher. It might also interest you that the DMV could actually be reduced in size and scope while still making insurance mandatory, same with licence plates. Vehicle registration? deos it really cost 100+$ a year to keep my VIN on record? Safety? The (federal) dept of transportation handles that, not the DMV.

So what does the DMV by and large do? Drivers licences. Which are worthless as they dont do driving tests anymore. . . its a computer test and you can get your license without taking the practical test... certainly not any indication of whether or not you can drive. And they can be renewed online, so you dont even have to pass a eye test -or- a practical.

If you really think that the DMV does anything good you need to think again.

Lets be clear here, it was criminal to use them for anything other than social security for anyone, private or government.

Now it is illegal for any government agency to require you to give your SS#, apart from the social security office.

But you get to choose who you want it on. 5$ for some random identity from a shady seller that may or may not be real or be abused already vs having a specific persons identity on request from your state.

This is a specific target kinda thing, not a dragnet of identity thieves.

1) The whole building will float up. You're displacing a lot of water with a hole 600 feet in the ground

2) Fire hazards. You want to climb 600 feet up while teh fire is sucking away all of your O2?

3) Earthquakes / floods.

... and the hot air moving up is sucking all the oxygen from the lower floors via the proposed open shaft and / or the regular ventilation. Unless we are literally air-lock sealing people 600 feet below ground, fire is still a big problem.

If they were smart they would put 3-4 floors above ground to help with this problem, as well as not wasting the space above ground level.

Except that it cant restore blanked sectors, or at least it hasn't been proven, only theorized. Even the theoretical only could work at an expense that your local or state attorney general wont pay.

If you are a terrorist and the DOD is after you, id start to worry. Anything less than that? no.

idiot. microsoft pays dividends.

Please. you can turn pages way faster on a kindle (push finger on physical button) that you can on an ipad (swype finger across screen with a pretty graphic). This isnt the kindle 1 we are talking about, that did have slowish page turns, still faster that a physical book though. The new generations of kindles are super fast.

And i doubt that anyone can read better from a LCD than a physical (or e ink) page. You might be -comfortable- reading from a LCD, but that doesnt mean that you wouldnt be more comfortable reading from eink.

um... no? my kindle is never unresponsive, and the only real "delays" are when looking up a word.

No, seriously, use a kindle. It is fantastic for reading. I have NEVER heard anyone complain about it being laggy or unresponsive. Sure, if you try to load gmail its going to take a bit, but its an ebook reader, and the experience when reading a book is fantastic.

Why? then you have to remember if its org com net or xxx. might as well not have them at all.

waterproof mics and speakers are -easy-.
