Well, after the third accident, we took her car away. She never drove again, and died many many years ago.
Her driving degraded over the years, as she became more timid driver. But it was that last year when it became clear, she was a danger to drivers all around, because she did "unexpected" things while driving, but nothing illegal.
It was very late in coming to Windows, and early implementations on Microsoft was horrible. They almost did the same thing to Firewire, and killed off the floppy long before it happened on PCs. SCSI implementation on Mac was also better. Mac tend to lead, PCs tend to "me too".
I have a theory on why this is, and it goes... something like this.
Apple looks towards the future, and builds what will be "standard" in 3 years with their top of the line products. Things like USB, SCSI, Firewire, No Floppies, etc
Microsoft (and PCs) are always looking to build the least expensive product, and aren't very good at forward thinking. They wait for Apple to have "standards" they can use (USB) and the struggle to make those standards fit inside PCs. By the time PCs catch up, three years later, the re-announce "new" features that "just work" (sort of) that Macs had three years before, and thus become "standard".
Now it doesn't always work out that way, Apple has picked some horribly slick albatrosses along the way. Good ideas that never caught on (FireWire) But if you look at the "standards" today, almost all of them were "standard" on Mac long before they were standard on PCs.
I am not a Mac/Apple fanatic, I'll use anything you put in front of me. Computers are tools, and a craftsman uses any tool that's in front of him.
I actually agree. However, I do know that old people can cause accidents that are "not their fault" technically and legally, but still cause accidents. My Aunt had three accidents in one year and yet NONE of them were her fault. She was just not where people expected her to be because she "froze" in the middle of an intersection during a light change. She didn't enter illegally, and the other driver wasn't paying close attention so technically, the accident wasn't her fault. But she shouldn't have been there in the first place.
This is the same woman that would make "three rights" to avoid making a left turn, and then would get "lost" and freeze in an intersection trying to figure out which way to go. Not her fault. She obeyed all the traffic laws perfectly.
This kind of shit it just pathetic. But it works in Liberal crowds. People like you can't actually point to anything specific, so you toss out huge nasty sounding challenges, that have no basis in fact.
Take a look at Chicago, DC and NO, and tell me, what good has (D) policies done for the Minority Communities there?
With Uber, the problem isn't with the City, it is with Liberalism. Uber is Libertarian and is fucking with Liberal "regulation" of "Cab Companies". When cities decide We are only having four Cab Companies", that is liberalism in a nutshell. Guess what, cab companies have abused their oligopoly and deserve to die a painful death under the new economy.
And with automated cars coming, it is going to get even messier. I love it! FREEDOM IS MESSY!
I love people who don't know or understand Libertarianism try to describe it. Libertarianism oppose to abuses of power, and only want a government big enough to stop abuses of power. But we also know that abuses of power will exist. It is much easier to control "Boss Hog" in some rural county than it is to control "Hitler" in Europe.
Liberals love to describe Libertarianism as unworkable, simply because they don't like liberty. They like big centralized power that can control the masses. I would dare say that things like the IRS, NSA, DHS and all the other "abuses" of our federal government are exactly the result of Liberals wanting to control the outcomes of everyone's lives. They don't arise in a land of Liberty. Period.
I want unbridled liberty. It is messy, ugly and free. If a nice tidy society is what you want, you're a Fascist. But hey, at least the trains are on time.
Liberals are people who see "Excellence" and think "That's not fair" and want to make the playing field "level" for the players that don't work and practice hard. So they saddle those that do work hard with extra weight "because they deserve it for taking advantage" of those that don't work hard.
"sell drinking water, you can dump your sewage in the river and sell your own clean upstream water"
Bull and Shit. Libertarians believe that people causing HARM to others need to pay for it. This means that if the water is being polluted, that those polluting the water are jailed and have to restore the river back to the way it was.
But like all Libtards, you love to set up strawmen just to knock them down and try to look impressive doing so. But if you want to play that game, "Liberals want to take all your money and give it to people who don't deserve it, just so they can create more poor people to vote (D)!"
Which is a strawman, but still is much much closer to the truth.
"some ideas are objectively terrible" You mean like a junior senator with a background in "community organizing" would be an effective government leader, and leader of the free world?
But at least he isn't GWB, he is GWB and then some!
How is something that is pure unsupported drivel considered "insightful"... oh right, because it fits with a certain mentality of (R) bad, (D) good and any (R) is evil rich white man wanting to oppress the brown and black people.
The biggest fallacy is that people want it harder for "minorities and poor to vote, to hold jobs", which is pure bullshit race baiting crap. Take a look at the places that have (D) leadership, and then look at the poor souls who live there and tell me the (D) people have done ANYTHING for the poor colored people, besides keep them poor and segregated.
The world was once rich with opportunity, not it is stuck in quagmire of equity of outcome, in which the poor colored people are trapped in poor segregated neighborhoods. Now, you can blame this on rich white men, but Oprah and Obama clearly show that most Americans really don't give a shit about your "color". They give a shit about your actions and appearance. If you want to dress like a prison whore with your pants down around your knees, by all means do so. But don't blame white people for not accepting idiocy in the name of "Ghetto Culture".
As a Libertarian, I oppose all welfare, except those that CANNOT (not will not) support themselves. If you're healthy, you should be working, and if you can't find a job, make one (deregulation required). But like everything else, taxes, fees and regulation do help but actually hurt the poor and middle classes. That $100 business license your city requires, only keeps the poor people from starting a business, legally. Rich don't care.
And as for the outright LIE of 'no access to birth control", that is pure LIBERALISM in a nutshell. Nobody is saying women can't have birth control. Not even the Supreme Court. And nobody is saying you can't take four of the twenty HHS Required Birth Control pills either. What they are saying is pay for them yourself. And if you're a strong, liberated woman, shouldn't you be able to afford the cost of your liberation?
No, sir, a vote for people like you is a vote for stupidity. Because you take liberal talking points that have already been proven false, and continue to spew them forth. And typical of liberal idiots, are commenting as AC. Chickenshit
Yellowstone is the "most dangerous" because it is really acting up lately and is considered to be a ELE capable Super Volcano. In fact, Yellowstone may be the biggest volcano threat in the world.
It just doesn't scare people because "Old Faithful" sounds so reassuring.
But only so long as the Ponzi Scheme was working. The real benefits were to the DNC and politicians in general who now have a wedge issue to divide the over 65 crowd from the under 45 crowd. Divide and conquer. People are too stupid to recognize it because.... FIFA BITING CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
Unlike Facebook, in that there is intelligence. The way I explain it (someone said it before me), Facebook is for keeping track of people I care about, Google+ is for keeping track of ideas/issues/things I care about. The intersection is very small.
Here is the thing, that is often missed by these types of technology insertions into typical analogue world, they are usually LOCKED in such a way, that they cannot be extended or upgraded easily, and because they don't include "what happens when script kiddies can crack the security in two seconds" upgrade plans. Because replacing something that requires a small level of skill break (tumbler locks) with one that requires no skill (just download MSTRLOCK-CRK-ZIP) is infinitely better/sarcasm
I'll wait till 3.0 of the spec is released and all the kinks are worked out.
To be honest, this is Nokia's own doing. Hiring MS drone to take down the enterprise was pretty stupid. It was the least expensive option they had. It would have been better to pick one of the three lanes they had, and stuck with it. They went a fifth lane when that wasn't really a good option (fourth lane being Android). Even Microsoft is realizing that Windows Mobile / Phone / Whatever is not going to win in the market.
The result is typical short sighted vision of CxOs. But, I bet it looked good on paper, and instead of listening to the asshole who is usually right, they listened to the nice guy who lies.
My question is, does the Constitution apply abroad or not. The Federal Government is petitioning both sides depending on whether or not that particular case works in in favor of their goals or not.
You can't fix politics, until you fix the people voting for the politicians. We get exactly what we deserve as an electorate. However, there are signs on the wall (CANTOR), that given enough crap, voters will out vote incumbents even as they spend millions to hold onto a seat. I see more potential in the (R) side right now in outing politicians who deserve it. However, I don't see ANY such on the (D) side. There is no (D) grassroots with any power, including OWS (noisy, but otherwise ineffective) threatening Harry, Nancy, or any of the others who need to go as much as Cantor did.
But I actually blame the liberal mentality for this, because they like abusive power of Government butting into everyone's business and telling everyone how to live, rather than leaving us the hell alone. Liberal fixation on people like Sarah Palin (who doesn't hold an elected office), because she talks funny, while accepting Sheila Jackson Lee (a complete loon) is a prime example of duplicity that is amazing.
It is short sighted indeed. It is way more expensive to replace good workers than it is to retain them. But they don't teach this in Business school any longer.
That is not how money laundering looks like. Here is what Money Laundering Looks like
Illegal gained money is given to a Legitmate enterprise (Gambling) and is returned as "profit" or whatever from the enterprise. In a very simple case, mob money is put into a slot machine, and 98% of it is returned when the jackpot is hit. The gains, now washed (legitimate) are taxed and are clean for use elsewhere (deposit into a bank). Where if you just stuck the gains in the bank would trigger all sorts of investigations. This is part of the reason why deposits of $10,000 or more in banks are automatically reported to treasury, for an audit of the money trail.
The trick in money laundering is to hide the input (initial gains being laundered) well enough that it doesn't trigger the reporting requirement of transactions of 10K or more. A series of 5000 "high risk" transactions where you lose most of the time, but win big occasionally, is typically how money is laundered. The inputs are not traceable, and the earnings become legitimate.
The goal is always to hide the initial input, obfuscate the long trail of transactions and end up with legitimate money on the back end. The transaction you describe is used to obfuscate the buyer and seller from each other, and the authorities, not the transaction. Money laundering still has to occur with the seller, as the bitcoin to currency exchange still has dirty money written all over it.

Macs made USB!
It was very late in coming to Windows, and early implementations on Microsoft was horrible. They almost did the same thing to Firewire, and killed off the floppy long before it happened on PCs. SCSI implementation on Mac was also better. Mac tend to lead, PCs tend to "me too".

"... policy shifts to be extremely favourable to mobile populations and corporate entities, and extremely unfavourable to ordinary people."
We call that "Regulations". That $100 business license your city requires, doesn't hurt big businesses, it hurts small ones where every $100 counts.
