  Re: Re: Heh...

  I can imagine that somewhere down the line they’re gonna need an extra digit, if two unrelated people accidentally get the same license plate because the 9-digit usage doesn’t provide for unlimited license plate combinations (usually there’d be a limit somewhere down the line). Eventually they’ll have to add that 10th digit (probably sometime in the future) to make it harder to have two of the same license plate numbers.

  This is like a scarier version of The Purge saga, except the government doesn’t want its participants to know their hunting as well.

  The ICE is melting

  With all of the hate against the ICE, I think it’s begun to liquidate.

  Yeah... I suck at these things. It’s 8:40 a.m over here in Pennsylvania and I’m only half awake.

  Re:

  Well, not so much infinity, but I’m fairly certain there are dozens of them out there.

  True, true. Reddit’s a goldmine of these idiotic Tinder instances. Just like I mentioned on my first comment on this post:

  Oh dear, r/NiceGuys and r/NiceGirls found their way onto TechDirt

  I don’t mean to brag, no offense, but I watch a lot of MiniLadd videos on YouTube so I can tell how many different types of idiots are out there. Take the Area 51 Raid for example. A single person posts an event for Area 51 as a joke yet millions joined in thinking they were gonna clap some alien cheeks. However only a small fraction of them showed up and one of them Naruto-Run’d behind a news reporter. People just have their quirks and junks, and nowadays anything will stimulate their senses.

  F.Y.I.

  That’s a link to a short clip. I found that clip to perfectly describe the current police situation. ... If you didn’t want to click on it, here’s what the video said: ”I’m an Abomination!”

  Metal-Gear-Idiots

  Both of these could engage in direct retaliation without it being noticed (at least not immediately) by anyone outside of these entities.

  The Metal Gear Solid tactic by hiding under a cardboard box isn’t gonna work for long. It won’t take long for some random individual to peer under and catch them red-handed.

  Expect the Unexpected

  Seeing as it is your first day, I didn't expect you to know who OOTB is or that they now use a different alias for every article. You are an extremely fast learner, carry on.

  With the way the world has become, it’s a good idea to pay attention to every detail. Sometimes there’s something you see that everyone else misses or completely overlooked. But thanks for the compliment.

  Heh...

  …they managed to fit more characters on an American license plate than is possible.

  The company that made that license plate has some explaining to do, lol.

  ---

  To be fair, Stephen, I was honestly trying to make a clever witty technology joke because the main article talked about the license plate readers. And I accidentally made a mistake. I meant to put CTRL instead of CNTRL (silly me.) I looked up the abbreviation afterwards but by then it was too late. It sucks that I can’t edit my own comments to fix my mistakes.

  You can probably tell that I watch a lot of Mini Ladd videos because of my Display Name. Sbeve was from a subreddit video that Mini Ladd uploaded and it’s been a quote ever since.

  Authenticated but Not Correctly Translated? We’ll See.

  Noting how many non-English countries are in the European Union, it wouldn’t surprise me if the statement was altered in translation. That happened before with Italy, when the infamous Copyright Directive was brought to the hands of Italy back in May, but a single botched translation would’ve led to wide-scale censorship.
  It’s not impossible for this new statement to accidentally be mistranslated, causing confusion.
  Here’s a good idea, European Lawmakers: don’t rush the translation process this time.

  Some Cheeky License Plates

  If someone’s license plate is CNTRLALTDEL (CNTRL + ALT + DEL), those automatic readers would malfunction... probably.

  I just wanted an honest answer and you give me that response?

  • Bold move. Not Well Received
  • I’m starting to wonder if my question was even worth it anymore.
  • I may be American, but to be honest, even I was a bit offended by that.

  If this is what it’s like being on TechDirt, I’m gonna need more than just coffee to deal with this tomfoolery!
