I use my shifter essentially none while on the highway (when I'm most likely to be on the phone).
I actually use hands-free now, but primarily for ranged of motion, not the hand. I also would say "gotta go" and drop the phone, without even hanging it up, if I saw something like traffic coming up. I think a lot of people clung to their phone too much. For example, those that get in accidents looking for the phone they dropped (this was the story of a no phone evangelical's son). You should not be reaching down, under the dash, swerving your car off the road and into a phone poll, that's not the phones fault though.
As someone who was on the borrowing side I will say this (and no I wasn't greedy, divorce cut household income in half, the purchase was made with the understanding that either of us could lose a job, and still cover the bills, as long as there was unemployment, followed by basic retail at least):
I did get helped by the bail out. BoA agreed to not pursue any deficit on a short-sale, this was not the way they acted before the bail-out.
If the user interface leads to accidentally sending things in the clear, it's a problem. If it's stupid feds, that's a problem too (but a different one).
Why shouldn't essentially everything be encrypted? That sounds like the sane default to me.
Wouldn't a failed MAP sensor cause an engine to go into fallback and throw a light?
Also, I prfer the modern cars where you don't need t fiddle personally. Verses ones where you had to fiddle quite often (relatively).
I'm not a huge driver, but I've probably driven around 300-400k miles, most of them on cars over 100k miles, I've only once had a car that wouldn't drive, and waiting a while got me the rest of the way to a mechanic (my belt tensioner failed, causing my battery to stop charging, after waiting 30 minutes I was able to got a few more miles).
The only tinkering I've had to do roadside was a tire change, cars are far more reliable than they used to be, yes you can't fix them with a screwdriver, but that is because they are more reliable, not a reason they were worse.
The only dead ECU I've seen was a friend's Jetta where water flooded the driver's side floor, apparently the ECU got wet due to poor placement.
Cars are so much more reliable than they used to be, in part because of so much computerization.
I think it's funny that my first car had an "engine light" and it meant either the oil pressure was low, or that the engine was over-heating. In newer cars, those are both separate lights, and "Engine" is still there, covering functions my old car didn't even know about.
100k miles used to be an accomplishment, a typical new car can do that with only oil, breaks, and tires. Cars are way more reliable.
I agree that the Avatar is stupid, much smarter to just keep the look-up table in the car, and display the translation, and maybe a button to get the recommended course of action (immediately go to mechanic, wait until trip is over, or wait until next oil change).
Gnome2 was it's own take on application menu and taskbar, kde 4 was a complete reimagining of the traditional desktop. Unity is it's own think, though I guess it has a dock bar (like windows and osx). Kde has an application menu,like gnome2 or windows. Gnome3 has a very unique interface. Unity has an application dashboard which is fairly unique.
Opera had tabs before there was a Firefox, or even a Firebird. I don't want to say it for sure, but I think it had them before there was even a Mozilla browser.
I rooted and used a Virtuous ROM, I really liked the sense dialer and miss it still, but the bluetooth issue eventually annoyed me (I couldn't use my phone as a bluetooth keyboard and mouse).
This was what I first thought, but was too lazy to check if iDevices and Android tablets use it (though I imagine the Lenovo think willl when it's out).
Does the fact that N uses the whole spectrum help (I would imagine the fact that other people's N does hurts at least).

I assumed in the system of sarcasm...

Don't they of one of three batches of smallpox in the world?
Strange,x look up on any given night where its dark, you should see them fairly frequently.
It looks like even basic movement causes trouble.
Does that mean you miss out on the reflectivity though?
Because I thought that was one of the main benefits to ray tracing.
your linked article sates " They found no relationship between a programmer’s amount of experience and code quality or productivity."
Not for the passenger that needs to blow him.
As a white american I'm a white invader. I don't self hate though.
I was pointing out the video was a bunch of hearsay by angry swedes, then a burning mosque.
I prefer harmless attacks on political views over those that would use politics to interfere with my life.
The only violence in that video was done by swedes, I find that interesting.

There is, you're allowed to Sue on behalf of the government if it doesn't do so itself. You get a 30 percent take.
Broken windows!
And what do you think "super" markets did to the local grocer?
In large cities super markets are subsidized to accelerate the process (still).
I don't shop at wall mart because it doesn't cater to how I shop, but they are a godsend in rural areas saving hours of time and many dollars.

Have you used windows, osx, gnome,unity, or kde?
They are not copying at all.
Gnome2 was it's own take on application menu and taskbar, kde 4 was a complete reimagining of the traditional desktop.

They really aren't copies at all.
That is so not even true.
Opera had tabs before there was a Firefox, or even a Firebird. I don't want to say it for sure, but I think it had them before there was even a Mozilla browser.

The big car, and the SUVs have gotten safer too, but there was a period where not only were they dangerous to others, but also dangerous to be in.
Small cars are less likely to get into an accident (better stopping, and better turning), and for a short bit SUV + ABS was bad bad bad.
