I tend to agree with you, but can see where he's coming from. When there's a lot of traffic, trying to leave a safe gap between you and the car in front turns you into a moving chicane.
I heard a good rule of thumb a couple of weeks ago; Never eat anything with more than 5 ingredients. If there's that many ingredients, odds are that at least one of them is bad for you.
See, once you achieve fusion, it messes with the Tachyon fields and sends you back in time. The trick is to reverse the polarity of your own Tachyon fields, so they cancel out with the Tachyon fields of the fusion reactor. You'll probably be killed in the process, but the rest of humanity will get to enjoy fusion power for the rest of eternity.
I read somewhere that for what the government is spending on the war in Iraq, they could just pay every citizen double the average wage not to do anything we don't like.
Wouldn't it? I suppose it depends upon the nature of the 'frictionless' surface, but I would have thought that the blood could join into the crystal lattice of the existing ice...
Yeah, but those other countries didn't leave the town planning to retarded monkeys. American cities make it very difficult to do much without driving long distances.
(My experience is basically only Houston, which is one of the worst examples, so it's probably not as bad as I see it.)
It depends on how the do it. If they display the little girl right in front of you, I'd wager that 8/10 drivers would quickly find themselves in an unsafe situation. If it's a little ways up ahead and it's more of a reminder that you should be careful then it might drop to 2-3/10.
Crime isn't like of CSI, they don't just find one piece of evidence and say "OMG, Doug did it!"
The fact that you happen to own a pair of shoes in the size that match footprint at the scene of the crime, combined with other evidence might make life a little difficult for you.
Of course the next step could be a national shoe database, where you have to present ID to buy shoes, and borrowing someone else's shoes becomes an offense. That would be crossing the line.
/. uses a variety of symbols to indicate what each story is about. Does the fact that Bill Gates doesn't work at Microsoft any more, nor was he ever assimilated into a borg mean that they shouldn't use that symbol? Further more, military technology has come a long way since roman times, the earth doesn't cast a shadow, software doesn't always come on CDs, there's more to space than Saturn and whatever other planet that is, Robots don't usually look like the goofy one in the symbol, and crime often doesn't involve handcuffs.
I could be a little prejudiced though, I'm Australian, and until I lost it I wore a hat like that to work every day.
And worse, what happens when people get used to seeing it and start ignoring it? Then not only is it not making people slow down, it's a potential for making them disregard a real child in the road.
That's the first thing I thought when I heard about this on the radio this morning. I'm quite disappointed to see this story hidden in idle.
I think part of the rationalization is that concealed carry laws make it safer for everyone, as the prospective criminal has no idea if his target has a gun or not. If enough people do have guns that you can't be reasonably certain your target is unarmed, then you'd have a good reason to stay straight.
Not saying I agree with this reasoning, but that's how it's justified.
Oh those poor people being forced to live in a nice house in a nice area. How tragic that they have nanny or 'elite day care' to watch their children for them. I bleed for them, I really do.

I could make a nice soup out of yesterday's chicken carcass. You can ditch the 'study' but leave me the carcass.
No!
I love it when people start with a simple analogy and then extend upon that idea, then tell you that you can use the idea in the original scenario.
All I need to do is put a drink machine next to my software, and then I'll be able to double my profits!
I'd like a -1 mis-informative, to undo +1 informative mods when people are flat-out wrong.
Australian legislators define it in much the same way. Even if a girl's tits aren't big enough you can get into trouble.

He updated it for a contemporary audience. Where would Libyans get plutonium these days?
If I wasn't at work I find you links to an example of each.

Don't eat that yellow snow!

Well, I hope you've learned something.
You just blew my mind.

This calls for further research.
Yeah, but they do take longer to use than their electronic counterparts, so you're still giving the language-impaired a bit of a disadvantage.

That's because the English and American languages have diverged.

Maybe they're trying to make it sound like Yoda narrated the book.
