Couldnt agree with you more.. try getting a bottle of Everclear here... (From Wikipedia) Consumers may legally purchase Everclear in Pennsylvania but must first obtain a permit for it and agree that it shall not be consumed as beverage alcohol and shall not be furnished for any reason to another person

Best comment ever.. wish I had mod points...

This would have been a lot better if he just made jet noises, and a plane shape out of his hand, and after going.. boom and thrusting his hand forward exclaimed.. "And that's how I broke the sound barrier!"

Dear Patent Office, I am happy to help you figure out which patents are valid.. I assure you that all of the patents of my competitors are not, and will mark them accordingly. Love, Business taking advantage of the stupidity of the patent office.

You still have every right to make a stupid decision. It doesn't mean there are not consequences for those decisions. For example is it a stupid decision to buy small magnetic desk toys (e.g. BuckyBalls, Zen Magnets). In and of itself the answer is clearly no; however, a child may swallow them, and get injured (which is clearly the parents fault). So the solution should be to eliminate the magnetic desk toys from the market therefore insuring that you cannot make a stupid decision such as letting your children swallow magnetic toys. When you try and legislate away rights to prevent stupidity you end up with stupidity inevitably (e.g. banning magnetic desk toys. This is a real example as the CPSC in the US is attempting to ban this right now. Visit http://savemagnets.com/ if you want to sign the petition to allow me to be stupid if I wish with my magnetic desk toys. Ultimately you have the right to make a decision, and society has a right to enforce the consequences of that decision.

Wow what a slippery slope that is... So for instance should H1N1 vaccinations be required? What about flu shots? If everyone got the flu shot we would likely run out before the high risk people (the young and elderly) had a chance to get it. Not to mention the potential side effects of many vaccines. Personally I and my children are vaccinated for everything I consider a serious disease (polio, etc.), but not H1N1 for instance because the chance of death is practically non-existent. In a free society you have the choice to be stupid... If you take away that choice then its no longer a free society.

Its actually quite well documented... for instance http://blog.motorists.org/6-cities-that-were-caught-shortening-yellow-light-times-for-profit/

I cant speak for LA, but I know in Philadelphia the move on most of the lights between green - yellow - red was roughly 1 second of yellow... its almost impossible to not run a red light there...There actually are several cities other than Philly who have intentionally shortened duration of the yellow light to get more of these tickets.

My name used to get emails all the time from the Veterans administration with medical records and all for a guy with the same name as me (I owned my name as a domain).. I contacted them and told them... they never did anything about it.. now I just filter them out.

If this was any other business I would agree 100% that they shouldn't have such a ruling forced onto them. In this case however the airlines accept a large amount of government money every year. If you are going to accept the government money when its offered you have to play by their rules.

Why does your website only say Error establishing a database connection? This seems an odd way to sell music.
Slashdot 101 - Beef up your webserver prior to doing a interview :-)
Love your music BTW.

But by copying the money you would put more into circulation which more or less devalues the money which means you are stealing from the value of other money... Of course the US government does this everyday anyhow...
