There's nothing you can do about this. It's all about human stupidity coupled with the limited stretch of road each person can see. Each driver needs to break more than the car in front because they can't see past that car.
A birds eye view would show people behind the ripple what is going on and they could 'iron out' the jam (see grand parent)
By the way, if someone cuts in front of you, just report them to the police. I'm sure if the police had 10-20 complaints about a single driver they may get of their fat arses and do something about it.
That's the funniest thing about watching American TV in the UK. Everything in America *seems* to be made out of petrol and dynamite. Every car crash ends up in a giant mushroom cloud. But the divers get out and keep shooting each other.
On UK TV most cars crash and crumple, bits of metal spear through people.
If you drag and drop files on the same drive it moves them.
If you drag and drop from one drive to another it copies them.
And if you need a context menu you drag and drop using the right mouse button.
You can drag things to the task bar and hold it over the window button, after a second that window will open and you can drop whatever onto that window.
I guess I'll get modded down, but in my last job we were forced to program for Windows because that's what everyone uses.
But we move from C++ to C# and suddenly 95% of our code was cross platform. I think you'll find that the more companies that shift to C#, the more software will start appearing on Linux.
Mono is a good thing. OK you may hate if from a 'freedom' point of view, but it sure enabled my program with freedom to move to Linux...
God I hate opt out. Imagine you produce films and TV, then google suddenly says "Yeah, it's all on YouTube by default. But you can opt out using this huge complex time consuming method."
Is this evil?
I mean, isn't anything where you get spammed by default even if there is an opt out option, evil? I know this isn't spam, but it must be pretty annoying for some people (like the BBC who I help fund through my TV license.)
Damn this is going to make crash recovery a nightmare. When my hard drive crashed I was able to read the data off by opening it up and using a magnifying glass, pen and paper. Using my notes and a typewriter I soon had my old drive data mirrored onto my new drive.
Is it possible to do this with a solid state drive?
(laugh:-D -- for it's both a joke and a poor attempt at promoting my project, which given the reference to the Streisand effect is irony! Get it? Funny eh?)

I thought it was the default login for live journal - that's a lot of site right there.
You've never seen an OpenID login? Crazy. I done see tons.
Horah! Now the FBI can track me everywhere!

Re-naming something no-one uses?
That isn't new technology or 'news for nerds'. It is PR and Link Bait.
Which they've done very well.
Wouldn't you harness them to a pole that is perpendicular to the shaft of the generator.
I'm sure they used to grind flour with the same sort of technology.
Wet wipes.
Run at, what, 70p a packet for 20 or so.
You wank off other blokes for a living?
ugh
Oh, I did went an' fo'got: SNAFU
But comming from the UK, we tend to use "that's a bunch of turd burger" a lot
And instead of Burger King, we use Turd Burgerler King. Or Kurger Bing.

Please MOD informative. ;-)

How long before Storm is better than the Internet?
It seems to be peer-2-peer, can host files, must be reliable (DNS and all that), encrypted traffic.
If you assume Internet is past its sell by date, what would the next generation network look like?
:-)
(OK, maybe it wouldn't be owned by the mafia (insert USA joke here))

Damn, that made me double take. Like WTF is that?
haha
Oh yeah, cos phone cameras are, like, 2,000 times better resolution then my eyes.
Honestly, in most photos taken on phones you can barely make out a face, let alone a dragon fly at 20 meters.
duh.

Overclocking!
Mind you, we've had speed (amphetamine sulphate) for ages. And it never really caught on with geekers.
Shame. Imagine Einstein on speed? 2x as many MC^2 per year.
And your presentation to the board would be along the lines of:

Not much by the looks of it. I doubt he could find his asshole with both hands.
