You can get fake papers if you are not 'in the system'. But if your photo/fingerprints are already in a database (an arrested or convicted criminal, for example) that fake ID can more easily raise an alarm.

In Australia, if you get charged with DUI, the police have to have evidence. This can be in the form of a breathalyser reading or blood test but not in the form of "I smelled beer on his breath".

Once you're charged you have two options, the first is to contest it and take it to court. The second is to pay the fine which is considered an admission of guilt. Because the requirement for evidence for Australian Police is high, most opt not to go to court. High range DUI (over 0.08 BAC) has an automatic court appearance, most just plead guilty.

Even though we have random breath tests, you still go through the same legal system with the same chances to demonstrate your innocence. Convictions are not automatic.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. Abuse this privilege and it will be taken away from you.

If you dont like RBT's you have the choice not to drive. A lot of Australians like RBT's because it cuts down on drunk drivers. Whilst we're on that subject, you have no right to drink and drive.

The taxman can deliver an assessment that says you owe $xxxxx in taxes and you are presumed to be guilty unless you can prove you don't owe that much in tax.

That assessment is court admissible evidence that you do owe $xxxx in taxes. You have been demonstrated to be in arrears. The tax tables are published before the FY starts and the government it not permitted to change the tax tables once the FY begins. So you have no excuse for not knowing how much you owe. Of course as part of our legal system you get the opportunity to demonstrate those figures are wrong. This means you get the presumption of innocence as you get to challenge the assessment. The fact is most people choose not to because the assessment is accurate. You have no idea what presumption of innocence means.

What does Peter Garrett do? You strike me as one of those Freemen On The Land nutters. For the Americans playing along at home FOTL's are the equivalent of Tea Partiers, Libertarians and Rednecks all rolled into one completely retarded package.

Germany was spending far more on their military during that time than Britain was. If Britain and France had stepped in earlier, Germany would have been totally unprepared and the war would have ended quickly. Not to mention all of the horrors of the Holocaust that would have been prevented.

If Britain and France had managed to delay the war to "prepare" even more, say a few years, the Luftwaffe would have been dominated by jets, German ballistic missiles would have been longer range and more precise, and they might even have become a nuclear power. I really don't think this is the analogy you're looking for.

No developer worth mentioning runs OS X with a case insensitive file system, and there are only 2 sets of Applications that don't work on case sensitive file systems on OS X:
Steam - because ... well I have no fucking idea why steam doesn't support case sensitive volumes on OS X when it does so on Linux
Adobe * - Because according to Adobe the Apple development toolchain doesn't work right and so they can't support case sensitivity ... regardless of the fact that everyone else for OS X except Adobe and Valve are capable of doing so OUT OF THE BOX WITH NO MODIFICATIONS TO THEIR SOFTWARE ... oh and Adobe has never presented an example of how the tools are broken illustrating their problem, they just keep saying 'broken tools! broken tools!'

Technically, NTFS isn't case insensitive.

The APIs used take care of making it behave that way from an application perspective. NTFS is case preserving by default, and case sensitive in the data structures. Pretty much every API written to access NTFS drives would explode if confronted by a NTFS file system that had been used in a case sensitive manner, but thats another story.

Also we can record our cops.

For every traffic stop, my dash cam records audio. Plus because they use things like breathalisers, I cant be pulled out of my car because the officer "smelled beer on my breath", there is a standard of evidence to be upheld.

Not that I've ever had trouble with the cops. I get pulled over into an RBT (Random Breath Test) site about once a year and pull out a minute or two later with a "thanks for your co-operation sir". This is in my boy-racer Nissan Silvia S15 with fart canon exhaust, it really pays not to be a self-important wanker when dealing with cops.

... in dog years.

Yes, in the first hours there were various workarounds and fixes suggested, and people came up with ways to get around those first workarounds. About 48 hours after the release, consensus congealed around using Red Hat's fix.

There is a very limited set of cases where it could be a compatibility issue if you had custom scripts relying on the old behavior, but that was judged to be fairly insignificant.

By now would be surprised if they don't have at least a couple Taepodong 2s that have at least a fair chance of a successful flight. They're not impressive as far as ICBMs go, but they are ICBMs.

quite true, and part of the problem is the pyramid scheme of them all, designed to make pots of cash for the people who create the currency in the first place as they have a stash of coins before it starts.

What we really need is the government to create a virtual currency, with all the regulation and control that entails. Then you can have all the benefits of a cryptocurrency but with the benefits of it actually becoming mainstream for the majority of users, without the problems a truly anonymous one has with regard to criminal activity.

This was 1962. Living under an alias, with no SSN or ID (or a fake) was considerably easier than it is today.

I partially agree, but remeber this was SPEAR phishing. When you get an email from your boss, with your boss's normal signature, using terms and abbreviations that your company normally uses, your first thought probably isn't "is this a phish?"
