Online Forum Speeding Boast Leads To Conviction
Meshach writes "In Canada, a nineteen-year-old man has lost his driving license for six months and is facing one year of probation after the police arrested him for dangerous driving as a result of a post on an online message board. The tip apparently came from an uninvolved American who called the Canadian authorities after he saw the post bragging about how fast the man went."
In this season's last episode of Top Gear there was a review of iirc a Ferrari where the same screen was used for the satnav and the digital speedometer, so one can have either one or the other, but not at the same time. The perfect car for Heisenberg. :)
People replying to my sig annoy me. That's why I change it all the time.
In what universe does it make a difference if a person has done something "wrong" in the past in determining whether some action is "wrong" now?
I stole a transformer toy from k-mart when I was little, does that mean I can no longer say that stealing is wrong in any situtation?
I got into a fight in high school and punched someone in the face, does that mean that I'm forced to accept that it is OK for someone to punch their wife in the face because she burnt the toast?
I'm not allowed to hold ideals that I fail to live up to in all of history?
And of course it's impossible that the officials in charge of the speed limits might have decided to leave them up without informing you of the reason, because you are omniscient.
