It's possible that the Google car is not giving out "body language" that telegraphs behavior before it happens. If you are about to slow down, you might move your head to check your mirrors, let off the gas a little bit, possibly maneuver in the lane, little things that humans could detect subconsciously. If the Google car just enters a slowing-down event, it might be undetectable.
I know as a motorcycle rider, I've suspected someone was about to do something stupid just before they did and it's saved me a few times.
It may not actually be the fault of the Google car per se but I think it definitely is worth considering that it might be driving in a way that would increase the number of accidents around it. I've certainly seen human drivers do so.
Heck, I have possibly even done so myself. Twice, I have been at a red light turning right, started to go and stopped, (having seen vehicles coming too quickly for me to pull out safely) and been rear ended by people who thought I was going. Clearly I was not at fault but that start-stop action was definitely a factor. Some people also drive in a way that might encourage others to take risky actions in order to get around them (driving below the speed limit, slowing down to read the street names at every intersection etc).
This is largely because the government should not be getting into all this stuff anyway. Therefore you get the tension between what they need to do what they're doing and what they shouldn't be needing to ask for in the first place, leading to these half-arsed compromises.
Q21: When did Social Security cards bear the legend "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION"?
A: The first Social Security cards were issued starting in 1936, they did not have this legend. Beginning with the sixth design version of the card, issued starting in 1946, SSA added a legend to the bottom of the card reading "FOR SOCIAL SECURITY PURPOSES -- NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION." This legend was removed as part of the design changes for the 18th version of the card, issued beginning in 1972. The legend has not been on any new cards issued since 1972.
Unfortunately the motofone is dual band so you have to pick which you use. Most are of the European frequencies but US frequency models are available from what I've seen. I bought mine while I was visiting the UK and was hoping it would be quad band. I still keep it around for the occasional visit.
Hah, wow. Have you ever actually been poor? This is exactly the kind of mentality the GP was talking about.
Having wealth gives you options, including the options to take steps that will give you even more wealth. Being poor means you rent whatever you can and take the windows that come with it and hope you can keep your car on the road for the next months and cross your fingers that you don't run over a nail because even a new tire would mean you don't get electricity next month (and then somehow have to find the money for the reconnect fee).
The left are delusional about what actually benefits the poor (though many of the right are too).
Interesting. Several people I know have lost all their bees and they live in more rural areas. I live in a semi-urban area and my hive is thriving. This is purely anecdotal though, of course.
The Pet was my first experience with networking. All the Pets in the room were connected to the same printer with Centronics cables (each plugged into the back of another). The printer was written to by outputting a byte to a port. I decided to see if it was possible to read the port and see the bytes that were being written by one of the other computers and it was.
Of course, "real" networking was already around by then but I thought it was cool.
Satellite really isn't all that bad for some methods of working. It's the latency that's the problem so if you need to RDP or VOIP, you're out of luck. If you can work locally and upload/download asynchronously, you're probably in good shape.
A lot of the problem is modern workflow practices are geared to fast, low latency networks.
I would like for something like Diaspora to succeed but, to be honest, I haven't really cared enough to look into it much (I don't really facebook much either though).
The thing too is that I already had a login that worked with gmail, voice, youtube, chat and the play store. All of a sudden I need to register for a G+ profile to be able to leave comments on Youtube and Google Play because.....

It's not as simple as assigning fault.
"that matters"
He just needs to add some indicator fluid.
They're all addicted to other peoples money, the lot of them.

Easy, they are not taxing the miles you've driven, only the change in your odometer.
(Sophistry yes but not out of line with some of the other mental hoops other things the government does are based on).

Course, the only reason Vegas exists is because governments like to interfere in voluntary interactions between individuals (gambling).
Georgia actually has its own water issues.

This has been happening since at least a year ago. There's nothing at all about this story that raises it to the level of "news"

Hats off to you.

Facebook also didn't impose theirs retroactively on a huge amount of users who had been using pseudonyms for a long time.
Sky type?
Though, of course, the Youtube one was after they *forced* me to merge my gmail and youtube accounts.
The thing too is that I already had a login that worked with gmail, voice, youtube, chat and the play store. All of a sudden I need to register for a G+ profile to be able to leave comments on Youtube and Google Play because.....
You tell me.
about:blank is the most streamlined social networking site around.
Sounds like something a plugin could handle easily. You might want to see if someone has already cooked one up for you.
