Walmart Stores Get CCTV-Enabled, Breathalyzin' Wine Vending Machines 135

Select Pennsylvania Walmarts have found a way to work around the law prohibiting alcohol sales in grocery stores. It turns out the shortsighted legislature forgot to make it illegal to sell wine from a vending machine: "as long as the user is asked to take a breathalyzer test, swipe their state issued ID or Driver License, and then show their mug to a state official sitting somewhere in Harrisburg, who is keeping an eye on the proceedings via CCTV." I'm surprised nobody thought of this sooner.

eldavojohn writes "Recent betas of Google's Chrome browser are getting seriously fast. Couple that with better hardware, on average, and it's getting down to speeds that are difficult to demonstrate in a way users can appreciate. Which is why Google felt that some Rube Goldberg-ish demonstrations with slo-mo are in order. Gone are the days of boring millisecond response time metrics."

They don't have to prove anything. Under at-will employment, you can be fired for any (non-discriminatory) reason, or no reason at all. Fox News would certainly be within their rights to fire him for this, whether it's explicitly mentioned in his contract or not.

All those people that pull into the middle and wait to turn are actually breaking the law.

And even many of the anti-gridlock laws make exceptions for turning.

Indeed, pulling into the intersection and waiting for the light to turn is the only way to turn left in much of Chicago. It is explicitly allowed, and drivers in the intersection have the right of way even after opposing traffic gets a green light.
