If there's no other lane, then this is possibly obstruction by the cyclists, then again, a tractor would give you the same problems and no recourse for whinging.
I live in an agricultural area. I get behind farm equipment quite often. You know what the operators of the farm equipment do? Pull off the road at every opportunity and allow drivers to pass.
I have no problem whatsoever getting behind a combine, because I know the operator is on the road out of necessity and doing what he can to minimize the interruption to traffic.
Many cyclists are exactly the opposite. They seem to relish obstructing vehicular traffic. *shrug*
I've never seen a rural area that isn't mind-numbingly boring, has nothing going on and smells faintly of shit. I could never live in one.
Uhura: Peace and quiet appeals to me, Lieutenant. Liuetenant: Well, maybe that's okay for someone like you whose career is winding down. But me, I need some challenge in my life. Some adventure. Maybe even just a surprise or two. Uhura: You know what they say... be careful what you wish for. You may get it.

It's more than that. For example, a big part of ipv6 is trading off some degree of address portability for routing efficiency. And stateless autoconfiguration. And ipsec. Address deprecation. Mobile ipv6.
There's lots of advantages. (Granted a few of the advantages end up being disadvantages...)
Free software developers lose exactly nothing when someone uses their software.
Free software gains ubiquity when someone uses their software. Which translates into things like vendor support (drivers, etc.), the advantages of greater adoption for certain technologies (Metcalf's law type stuff), etc. etc.
What y'all are missing is that there isn't really a "charity" status where taxation is concerned in the US. Most churches are "not for profit" status, it has nothing to do with charity.
Churches are tax exempt, and donations made to them are tax deductible, but the same can be said for NPR member stations, various clubs and organizations, etc. etc.
(N.B. There *are* special provisions for churches in the whole 501c3 stuff, as I understand it mostly pertaining to the application process, but I'm no lawyer nor tax professional.)
There are federally mandated warranty periods on emissions systems that can actually exceed the warranty period of the vehicle. Some components are covered up to 80,000 miles.
The only correct answer to the question, "Have you had anything to drink tonight sir?" is "No." Anything else you say can cause you problems.
Incorrect. Lying will not fix problems, only make them worse. And not only that, you're sacrificing your integrity.
The only correct response is to not answer, either cleverly redirecting the question: "Do you have reason to think I have?" or flatly refusing to answer the question based on your fifth amendment right to refuse to answer questions whose answers may incriminate you.
Ask him how the premise wiring in every commercial building in the world is installed. They order patch cables from some commercial patch cable vendor for every run, riiiiiiiight.
There is a big difference between premise cabling and patch cables.
The former is static, tied to structure, hidden in the walls, and punched down onto blocks or jacks that are rarely touched. It is very difficult to pre-fabricate cables for premise cabling, otherwise it would be done as a matter of course by professional contractors.
Patch cables are moved often, crimped, easily snagged, etc. Factory cables are manufactured through process, and are generally far more rugged.
If you suspect that the cable isn't performing well, rent a Fluke DTX series tester, and test the cable. It only costs a few hundred bucks for a week to rent. This will tell you if the cable *is* verifiably going bad (or, more likely, the jacks and/or punchdowns).
As to what cable you need for what version of Ethernet:
If you're doing gigabit Ethernet, you'll need Category 5 or greater.
If you're doing 10 gigabit Ethernet, you can achieve up to 55 meters with Category 6 cable. You can get the full 100 meters with Category 6a cable. I don't really even know if you can find Category 6a cable in too many places, it's a fairly recently ratified standard and I don't do a whole lot of cabling anymore these days.
Not if you believe that the presentation contributed to the error, as I do. Everyone who knows who Colbert is knows that the show is on at 11:30PM.
Or perhaps the person is in Central time and had a brain fart? Who knows? Why get pissy over the person wanting to use what they consider to be a better system of measurement?
Heck me for example, I've used 24 hour time for years, it's on every e-mail I get, it's on every *nix computer I work with, it is how I think about time (in fact, I usually have to do a conversion to PM times in my head) I write 24 hour time instinctively, and it might well be the same case with the submitter. (Or, it might be that a/. "editor" inserted it.)
As for nomenclature, call it what you wish. Interestingly, I will point out that in the US military (and possibly others), the colon is omitted. In standard 24 hour format (ISO 8601 and the like) the colon is present.
Complaining about someones presentation of time when the thing that is in error is the value of the presentation is silly.
Calling it "military time" is also silly, since it's used way more OUTSIDE of the military than inside, especially in circumstances where time ambiguity may be problematic (Did your nurse administer that medication 13 hours ago, or 1 hour ago?)
Smart companies have long since learned that you do NOT piss off your "pro customers". It eventually comes back to bite you in the backside with such regularity that it almost goes without saying in most industries.
Yeah. Except if all of their customers leave, they'll demand a government bailout a la GM.
And on that note, I drive a motorcycle, and quite often a motorcycle does not generate enough of an EM field to be noticed by the sensors. Pull up to an intersection that is slow in your direction and you can wait all day if you like and never get a green
Most red light cameras use the same type of in-road inductive loop to trigger them, so if it doesn't work for the signal, chances are it won't work for the camera either.
BTW, I, too, ride a motorcycle and have occasionally observed the same phenomenon. I can usually correct it by moving forwards and backwards a few meters.
I've often (half) joked that as far as I'm concerned, after 1AM all stop signs become yield signs, and all red lights become stop signs.;) At least, in the rural area in which I live...
Supplying the password to encryption under warrant is no different from supplying keys to a safe under warrant. Keys are not protected by the 5th, and neither are passwords.
Justice Stevens puts it better than I have seen it anywhere else in his dissenting opinion in the 1988 Supreme Court case Doe v. United States, 487 U.S. 201:
A defendant can be compelled to produce material evidence that is incriminating. Fingerprints, blood samples, voice exemplars, handwriting specimens, or other items of physical evidence may be extracted from a defendant against his will. But can he be compelled to use his mind to assist the prosecution in convicting him of a crime? I think not. He may in some cases be forced to surrender a key to a strongbox containing incriminating documents, but I do not believe he can be compelled to reveal the combination to his wall safe â" by word or deed... If John Doe can be compelled to use his mind to assist the Government in developing its case, I think he will be forced "to be a witness against himself." The fundamental purpose of the Fifth Amendment was to mark the line between the kind of inquisition conducted by the Star Chamber and what we proudly describe as our accusatorial system of justice.

Also, bicycles are regarded as vehicles (in the US), which means traffic laws apply to them as well.
Tell that to practically every biker I have ever seen at a stop sign. Not stopped.

One of the questions asked if they'd ever had sex with animals.
A friend told of a coworker who, when asked that question (during a poly, no less) replied: "Do bears count?"
Apparently the investigator couldn't not laugh at that one.

t was a Mini-Linux distribution in size of four floppies which I downloaded from some BBS.
It was a BBS for me, too (Christmas 1994, IIRC...) I was, humorously enough, looking for a copy of Minix. And I ran across a copy of the SLS distro.
I don't much recall what I did with the installation early on, though. Mostly just fumbled around with it.
Too much misinformation going on here.
Here's all you need to know:

Would you be upset if companies were allowed to contruct paying-subscriber-only lanes on the freeway?
You mean like this?
Come back when you understand the terminology used by the Supreme Court.
You conveniently left out that I said "Justice Stevens puts it better than I have seen it anywhere else in his dissenting opinion"
I said nothing of agreeing with the court's decision in the case, I said I agree with Stevens' interpretation.
Supplying the password to encryption under warrant is no different from supplying keys to a safe under warrant. Keys are not protected by the 5th, and neither are passwords.
