You are correct in your assesment of a car's impact on your environment. You could always move, you know. What if that person needs that car to get to the grocery store or the doctor? Public transportation in this country is less than urgently run. Sure the car's pollution might affect you (less than you think...suicide by car-in-garage is almost impossible these days) but the lack of that vehicle can certainly affect a person's quality of life.
The extended use of graphite pencils in zero-G Russian space habitats has been stongly linked to "drafter's lung". The inhalation of wood and graphite dust builds up in the lungs, impairing the ability to move oxygen to the bloodstream. Fortunately for the Russians, US patent law does not apply to their territory, and they do not have to pay royalties to the estate of Buck Starwell, inventor of the "Astronaut Pen".
My girlfriend teaches in a shit-poor school in our city. Guess what? The little bastards don't behave worth a damn. They run away whenever possible, go outside and piss on the building (this is K-5) fight all the time.
Contrast to a white suburban school where the kids behave and actually learn.
Looks like you've had a bit too much caffine already buddy. My post wasn't about physical impairment, it was about the mental state reached when a person has had a lot of caffine. Irritable, argument prone, aggressive. Do you think a person in this state of mind is more likely, or less likely, to lose their shit after they get cut off on the freeway?
All these fabulous projects coming out of the collapsed Soviet Union will bear no fruit. Remember the super-fast chip technology that was supposed to conquer the market? Where are the chips? The Mir space station couldn't be maintained, and they're going to build this ludicrous tunnel? I know the Russians have alot of pride, but come on...Reality Check!
Shit, in Australia they have huge signs that say "Smoking Kills" at the counter in convenience stores, but people still smoke!
What else can society do to discourage this behaviour? Nothing! People KNOW it's dangerous. People know eating high-fat foods in dangerous, as is speeding, and about a bazillion other things commonly done.
The statistics are there, the odds are there, and people keep rolling the dice.
Ever think that perhaps the other students who "just want to use it" were getting distracted by the relocation of the icons and graphics? Or perhaps some oh-so-funny losers were deleting icons, software, whatever. Just cause you can do something doesn't mean you should, and those were not your computers to diddle with. How would you like it if I encrypted all your goat porn? hmm?
Not to be redundent, but from time to time I have access to 5 to 10 4-way RS/6000 machines which have become idle for a few weeks. I fire up my setiathome clients on them and take a lead forward in the stats. When the machines are re assigned to new projects, I turn off my clients.
And who here plays VO:OT? The docs don't explain the 5 different control configurations, and I can't get the goddamn thing to spin my robot. The Saturn controls worked much better.
Ok, Mr. Wong, what would *you* do if you were awoken in the middle of the night by someone testing the security of your house? Call the police? Throw a lamp?
More reason to run Mozilla. Hack the source code to detect and nullify javascript that pops-up adds. Won't be perfect, but you could probably cut down on most of the crap this way. Use RegExps for a tasty treat.

Why can't Apple keep up?
Well spoken.

Explain THIS one?

No...
I was wondering if he felt driving while on caffine is OK...
Cause I know a few people who get edgy and irritable on the stuff, making "road rage" much more likely.
ha ha ha
Get a little wired on coffee and hop behind, no problem right?

Alot of the carriers I had to use did not have adapters in coach, where I usually had to fly when travelling inside the United States.
I was never coordinated enough.
I used to fly alot for my job, so I bought a color gameboy. Got Pokemon, Mario Bros and Tetris. It's all you need.
Damnit!

And the type of windows...
and how well the windows are secured...

doh!
quite badly formed ignoring your inclusion of a non classical noun. Better re-check your near perfect memory
