and if not MFJ, there's only 3 other possibilities. So they're really counting on the SSN/DOB to remain secret... except for every credit application ever.

the weakest side, however, is also the one with the least ability to add automatic preventatives.
at best, if it shows that the engineer did something wrong and it turns out they were trained to do that wrong thing, the training can be fixed. More likely however it's just to have a record of what the engineer did in their final moments.
your trek only takes you 1 mile from the pole. It hasn't melted that much yet.
and needs to land with a low enough velocity to keep it from being damaged too much.
That's one answer. Another is 1+(1/(2*pi*N)) miles north of the south pole (for integer N); you go one mile south, one mile west is N laps around the pole, and one mile north gets you back to your starting point.
Not seeing the parallel. I assume you mean "the extra cars just don't get on the road"? which means you're assuming the extra people don't have to commute...
Okay, so say all of your lanes are under this system. When the population increases, how is the system going to prevent an increase in congestion?
if they can't understand the difference between writing their own code and generating their own random numbers they're better off doing neither.
Deposit an amount "close to" 10000 and the answer is still yes, as you will be suspected of attempting to evade the monitoring of transactions of 10k+. And then your account is seized.
2c per mile is only a win if you get less than 15mpg. Remember, this is state level, so it's likely that it'll only replace Oregon's 30 cents per gallon, leaving the federal gas tax in place.
only if it brings the prices back down to self-serve rates...
why phone home? I have to get an emissions inspection; the inspector has to record the odometer reading. If you don't trust me to let the odometer do its job, how can you trust that any other phone-home mechanism within the car is working? Which means it's not going to be the car phoning home, it's going to be traffic cameras with license plate readers reporting everywhere car X went, from which distance traveled can be calculated.
Of course, that's still infrastructure, but it's infrastructure the cops have wanted anyway; just store the information for eternity^Wa reasonable period.
sure, but that's for pricing for a subset of the lanes, to control congestion in those lanes; it depends on there being un-tolled lanes where everyone who doesn't want to pay the express toll can sit. Doesn't seem like a match for "everyone on the road must pay their fair share".
yep, internalizing costs that used to be externalized always sucks.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
