WiMax Delayed for more Testing

sebFlyte writes "The much talked about potential wireless broadband technology, WiMax, has been hit by more delays that may reduce its chances of commercial success and hence widespread application... so those of you wanted to play Halo 2 multiplayer while driving down the freeway may be in for a bit of a wait." A spokesman for Aperto blames the delays on being "optimistically aggressive" on shipping dates.

Driving, remember that game?

Yeah, you'll have to wait for your sanity to return! When you're driving a car you're already playing quite a challenging game in which you only have one life (not Half life 2) and one life alone and there is no save or restore.

This site explains how 86-year-old George Russell Weller killed ten people with his automobile at a farmers market in Santa Monica CA. At least one of the dead was a 10 month old baby and three year old was also injured. Mr Weller decided that he was capable of operating a motor vehicle in a safe fashion. He started the automobile and went about his business. Apparently Mr Weller was not able to operate his automobile quite as well as he though. He "confused" his break and gas pedals. When his "break" pedal did not stop the car he pressed the pedal harder in an effort to stop the car. It accelerated as it crushed and trapped shoppers and vendors. Mr Weller got off with minimal punishment for causing a great loss for so many in the community.
