Comment Re:But does it work? (Score 1) 707

Actually, research I read when I got my DUI in 2007 seemed to indicate the release of alcohol vapors into the air by the lungs can vary widely between persons, by as much as 20%.

...

I don't know about 49 of the states, but in Washington state, if you want something more accurate than a breathalyzer, you have to demand the police take you to the hospital to have blood drawn at your own expense. They are required by law to comply, but 99% of DUI suspects know nothing of their rights.

We have these little portable devices that can check a person's blood sugar. Why don't the police have blood sensors that can check blood alcohol content... via blood, instead of breath?

1. Software-as-a-Service already exists in the form of World of Warcraft and other for-pay massive-multiplayer online games.

2. Your idea is most sinister, and I hope to never see it succeed in my life time.

3. There hasn't been a legitimate second-hand market for PC games since CD-Rs became affordable, and consoles use hardware to enforce against duplication. So this whole second-hand market issue seems moot.

"There's only one of him, only 9 (or 15 or 30) bullets in that gun, and if we storm him he won't be able to reload. Sure, one or more of us could die, but we aren't going to sit back and let fear and the threat of violence rule our lives."

Guy 2: Okay. You go first.

You could storm him if you want, but the smart thing to do would be to catch him off guard.
