It really doesn't matter if the average colorblind person can't tell that the car in front of them is autonomous. The colored plates are more likely for police officers and such who need that information.
If someone is driving correctly, it won't make a bit of difference if they are following a real driver or a computer.
The other thing that people seem to forget about is that many of those same deductions and exemptions apply to everyone. The couple with 2 children will pay no taxes on $26,500 of income, whether they earn $26k per year or $100k per year. That first $26,500 is untaxed either way (not counting sales tax, gas tax, etc, etc).
This. Exactly.
I don't believe in any sort of higher power, mostly due to the lack of any sort of proof. However, should that proof become available, I am open to the idea that there may be someone or something out there.
I won't go around preaching my disbelief, because one of my main complaints about organized religions is that many do exactly that, trying to force themselves on other people.
So, I could call myself an atheist, since I don''t believe, but I prefer agnostic, because it really doesn't affect my life at all, so I don't worry about it.
Unfortunately I don't think all the people who get their houses torn down to make room, or all the taxpayers that have to fund a redundant road system, would agree that this is the best solution at this point in time.
"You know nothing and you care less, as people say." is saying that you care less than nothing, which kind of implies that you couldn't care less. How does one 'care less than nothing'?
Pavement is the material itself, such as asphalt, concrete, etc. The word "pave" means to cover a surface.
Sidewalk, road, driveway, and such refer to the use of the paved area.
You don't typically call your house "bricks" or "wood" or whatever it may be constructed from, so why call a sidewalk "pavement".
Of course, you could ask Google "what is 15% of $14.56" and get the answer you are looking for. It is even in more natural language than '15% tip on $14.56'.
Sure there are exceptions, but many townships (at least the midwest US) have ordinances that limit property splits to a 4:1 depth to width ratio. So the worst your six acre lot could be in that case is 256 feet wide.
Well a sensible person would step over to the gravel shoulder if a car was coming, or perhaps even into the grass, if thats what it takes to avoid being hit. As a walker, I never assume that a driver will move over for me, or even see me as they speed by. Sure I have the right-of-way, but why even take that chance? So...walking towards oncoming traffic IS important.
I'm in the same boat on this one. It isn't so much that $5 is a whole lot to part with, it is the principle of the thing. I don't feel that I should have to pay for a patch, or a service pack, or whatever other name you want to give it. With the earlier upgrades, much of that functionality should have shipped with the device, not been added later and then charged for.
The vast majority of other hardware and software give you free updates once you have made the original purchase. Why should this be any different?
Actually, a 5' DIAMETER hole, would have a 30 inch radius, and therefore an area of 2827 in^2
2827*150000 = 424 million pounds of pressure.
However, it is actually an 18 inch drill hole with a pressure differential of around 13,000 psi (see various calculations in comments for this post http://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1651510), which puts you at just over a million pounds of pressure.
The blowout preventer that didn't work properly was a 450-ton device. It isn't much of a stretch beyond that to get a 500 or 600-ton block of something down there to just plug it up.

There would still be someone in the car. I imagine it will be quite a while before cars are allowed to drive themselves around unoccupied.

He did say that he has a lot of down time.

5-6 inches? I hope you meant feet. The frost depth in southern Michigan is 42 inches. I'd imagine ND could be even deeper than that.

Not true, we have football fields and libraries of congress as well! He meant to say it is just under 1 football field.
