1- It's a "UX" decision that has been implemented long before cars were equipped with it. That's why there are rumble strips on the sides of the road: to wake up sleeping drivers before they slide into the ditch.
2- If you are using the signals appropriately, it would never trigger the alarm. If you need to make an emergency maneuver, who cares if the yoke shakes? You know you are doing it on purpose.
It also depends on what the police officers are doing at the time. If they are on traffic patrol, they will be more likely to pull you over than if they are transporting a prisoner...
So just raise the gas tax. Road damage squares with weight, but MPG is linear-ish. Bigger vehicles should be paying more, smaller vehicles should be paying less. If the current rate doesn't pay the bills, raise the rate.
If they did it for every car, on all stretches of the particular road, AND implemented it loudly and openly, then god bless them. People will follow the laws, or they WILL get a ticket. The result? Speed limits will change to be more fair. It's pretty easy to implement in software- if the driver is within say 5% of the stated limit, nothing happens, because speedometers vary. If they are within 10%, they get a written warning. If they are within 20%, they get one fine, more than that they get the big one. My car has an average speed since reset indicator, and it is REALLY hard to get it up to the actual speed limit unless one is speeding excessively.
Another algorithmic way to solve it is to use the "wisdom of the crowds" and only issue tickets to drivers who are traveling more than X mph faster than the rest of the traffic.
It's perfectly possible to get a ticket for both of those things simultaneously. Many states have left lane pass/move over laws that say that drivers need to move to the right and leave the left lane open. Yes, even for speeders. If she was doing 70 in a 65 in the left lane, and cars were zooming around and trying to pass her on the right, that is a very unsafe situation created simply by her poor driving skills.
Yes, but that danger is probably less harmful than crap information held out to be legitimate. The more likely the "not invented here" syndrome is, the more likely they never were all that good to begin with.
Are you saying "head down the road apiece until you git to where the old Johnson place used to be, then stay on that road until you git to the oak tree- no wait, they cut that down- tell you what, you just go for about 10 minutes until you see a guy on a thresher and ask him," isn't good information?

They break in predictable ways. All equipment will have failures. Do you want to spend the time swapping power supplies and hard drives that tell you when they have failed, or figuring out what the fuck is the matter with this broken box?
A good example is something I've experienced multiple times. A hard drive in an array fails hard. In a Proliant, you get a red light and the machine keeps running. In a Dell or IBM, it takes down the whole disk bus and you have to take time pulling individual drives and reenabling the array until you figure out which drive is the bad one.
Methamphetamine is a perfectly acceptable and normal stimulant. You can even (try to) get a prescription for it! It became a scourge because it is easy to manufacture, doesn't require importing stuff from south of the border and thus it is cheap and available, and idiot junkies don't know how to properly dose themselves. They take the stuff practically by the gram, and they smoke and snort it, which might as well be hitting yourself on the head with a hammer. I imagine if you smoked 500mg of No-Doz on a daily basis, your teeth would fall out too.
There is nothing magic about "herbal" remedies. Nature makes some of the most deadly stuff out there.
I feel stupid too. Faster than light is still measurable time. If lightning and thunder don't violate causality, neither does the concept of faster than light communication.
NON governmental bonds. Mortgages and corporate bonds. The point is to flood the market with money when deflation is imminent, and vacuum up money when inflation is imminent. Selling the assets slowly, or simply letting the issuers pay them back as they mature over time, slowly removes the excess money from the economy as the economy picks up and starts creating money it on its own. The point is that a stagnant economy shrinks, or at least generates deflationary pressure, because there isn't enough capital to go around and interest rates naturally want to go up, compounding the issue and making things worse. Whereas an overheated economy creates more money than it needs, and this naturally drives down interest rates because there is excess capital looking for investment, which causes bubbles. The Fed's job is to counteract this process by adding or removing money from the economy at large.
As for the Treasury's problem with debt, this will be made largely irrelevant because a hot economy generates excess tax revenue. The Treasury can keep the costs of borrowing flat, at least, because they won't need to borrow so much.
Every laptop I've ever been in has the ribbon cable taped to the back of the panel to keep it in place. next time, use better tape. Or fix the cable routing which is obviously messed up.
He's talking about real inflation, like the shit we had in the 70's. A couple three percent a year in a $15 trillion dollar economy is NOTHING compared to that bullshit.
There is nothing more real about the faith that you'll be able to exchange gold for things you need than that you will be able to exchange dollars. Every currency is based, at some point, on the belief that it will be able to be exchanged for something. It doesn't matter if that faith is direct, as with fiat currency, or indirect, as with metal backed currency. The dollar has been more stable since we got off gold. Yes, inflationary, but stable. That's a good thing. Our currency is worth what people think it is worth, instead of being pegged to the whims of the gold market.
What is supposed to happen: the Fed will raise interest rates and sell some of the trillions of assets it is holding and vacuum up some of that money to balance the money supply with the demand.
I'm not sure what is so subtle about showing video of "conservatives" making fools of themselves. Fox makes their point via implication and omission, MSNBC makes their point with quotes from sources.
One of my favorite tricks is where they publish a completely stock AP wire story on their website, but with an inflammatory headline that has almost nothing to do with the content. The story will be about Obama leaving Israel or something, and every other source will headline it something like "Obama concludes Mideast trip" and foxnews.com will headline it "Obama abandons Israel". Both count as "news" but one clearly shows bias.
If you can't say something without being misunderstood, then your command of the language isn't as good as you think. Or you simply shouldn't be making that comment in the first place.
Bad intent can make things worse, but good intent is less likely to make things go better. If I yell "cocksucker!" because I saw it in "Nixon" and thought it was a great expletive and nothing more, it makes no difference if someone near me misunderstood me to be denigrating them. I shouldn't be yelling cocksucker in the workplace (and a conference where you are representing your employer counts as that) in the first place. I'm not going to be absolved of responsibility just because I didn't mean it that way. But yelling "hey Mary, bring me that wrench" is, on paper, harmless. If I'm talking to someone named Mary. If I say that to a gay guy in a mean sounding way, my intent is obvious.

Brown is a form of orange. Black and white aren't colors.
All the colors are in the color spectrum. Cyan is between green and blue. About 500 nm wavelength.

license embedded in the firmware. But I gather that's the standard way of doing things now
That is true. Instead of the older generic code in the bios that was only manufacturer specific, now each board has a unique code.
1- The percentage of the budget that services the debt is very low.
2- Quantitative easing. They own tons of non governmental bonds that they are sitting on.

That's deflation, and you don't want it in a currency.

So is talking about sexual body parts inherently sexist or something?
Unless it is germane to the line of work, yes it is.
