If you see someone following too closely, slow down. They're going to rear end you if you have to step on the brakes, so you need all the space in front of you you can get. Slowing down when you're being tailgated decreases the risk of a crash, decreases the risk of injury from a crash, and encourages the asshole behind you to pass.
I'm not advocating brake checks here. That's just stupid. Just ease off the gas and go as slow as you have to to be safe.
Getting a second chance to bone that cute chick from history class is anything but a waste of time. Sure, you could have sex with anyone, but she's been in your spank bank for 20 years.
No, the problems with Window's UI go far deeper than which side of the title bar the close button is located. Someone familiar with UNIX who finds themselves on Windows would do best to just install Cygwin.
The fact that Bradley Manning has suffered almost a year of solitary confinement and only now getting a hearing would lead one to believe that this is all a show.
3. Contrary to what you wish to believe; military court martials aren't show trials. I'd argue that they're ultimately far more fair and impartial than you'll ever find in a civilian courtroom where a DA and/or Judge may have a political agenda to fulfill.
Bradley Manning was held in solitary confinement for almost a year before he was even indicted. How is that consistent with your even handed, non-political picture of military justice?
I can't imagine doing productivity work with less than 24 rows by 80 columns... but I remember getting a lot done with that.
Yeah, it's possible to do real work in 40 columns, but not unless you have to.
The games on my double-1680x1050 PC are much more awesome, though.
Games might inspire more awe in high definition, that's a fair point. But that's significantly different than "fun". The sense of awe only lasts an hour or so, and then you have to rely on gameplay.
And clearly WYSIWYG is a lot more rewarding.
I prefer to get more than what I see. ZSH, LaTeX, and R are quite a bit more powerful than Explorer, Word, and Excel are, for instance.
Really, gaming is all old PCs are good for. The Apple II, TRS-80, Atari 800, all over 30 years old. I can't imagine doing productivity work on them but the games they play are as much fun today as they were 30 years ago.
Are you implying that a theist who believes in an afterlife would be more cavalier with their physical health since they consider life on Earth as merely a speed bump on the trip to eternal salvation?
Yes, an honest theist who believes in an eternal paradise after death would embrace and celebrate death.
most religious people I know are generally not smokers and drinkers.
Because most religious people don't think critically about the implications of what they ostensibly believe.
This is not easy. That's just what the Buddha was doing 2500 years ago. And he seemed pretty good at it - there are references to thousands of Arahats (fully enlightened people) in the Pali canon. Yet now you will be hard pressed to find one person claiming they are an Arahat. What happened? I don't know.
Of course it did. Carrier IQ is not part of any government surveillance program, so the government loses nothing by pretending to care about surveillance. This investigation will find that nothing illegal took place, and the carriers will at most pay a token settlement. If it were a government surveillance program, it would just be defunded and reestablished under another name.
True enough. But making sharp observations and reaching conclusions well founded in reality was Hitchens' stock in trade. Getting Iraq right should have been a slam dunk for him.

So what we really need are yellow lights of infinite duration.
Directed emails addressed to a specific individual that explain how and why a potential partner or provider is contacting them are not only legal
Legal perhaps, but no less annoying. If it's unsolicited, commercial, and email, then it's UCE.
necessary as the "cold call" of the internet age.
Cold calls were never necessary. If you make cold calls, DIAF.
What if the personalization did include elements such as whether or not you're in the market for something?
That's even worse. If I'm in the market for something, I want unbiased information. Not ads.
Come now, let's attend to the plank in our own eye first.

Notice how no one went to jail for any of that. It's almost as if corruption were permitted in the US.
Long yellows to give everyone a chance to stop, and red light cameras to catch the bastards who don't take that chance.

It does feel a bit like 1930s Germany, doesn't it?
What reason do you have to believe that the SCOTUS respects the Constitution any more than Congress does?
4) The SCOTUS makes blatantly unconstitutional decisions all the time. They're every bit as corrupt as Congress, if not more so.
Which, when you look at it is a very tiny problem. You should be more concerned you that you have a decent bath mat than you should be about the WBC.
I'll buy one of each.
Adjustable chairs are pretty easy to come by.

Chances are they made it all up.
It's a lot more honorable than sending other peoples children off to die from the comfort of your congressional office.

Funny that article writer wrote "authoritarian". This applies to almost any country - with USA being the prime example
That's not funny, that's accurate.
