  1. Re:It just doesn't work on How Would Driver-less Cars Change Motoring? · · Score: 1

    For the simple pleasure of driving. That's why. Just because you find it a chore (or so you seem to imply), doesn't mean we all do. My record for longest drive is 26 hours stopping only for the necessities.

  2. Re:I trust on In Nothing We Trust · · Score: 2

    I'll vote for New England to secede but only as long as you take S. California with you. And leave, New Hampshire. I like that state.

  3. Re:Kaputnik on North Korea Shows Off Space Center and Launches Missile · · Score: 1

    Oh, byte me. If you can't see the difference between the US having nukes (and, btw, that was a World War we were involved in and go ahead and ask some older Chinese how they feel about the US dropping a couple on Japan) and NK, you haven't done much reading.

  4. Re:Stop multi-tasking! on Carmakers Prepare For Augmented Reality Driving · · Score: 2

    Maybe we'll get lucky and the car will drive itself?

    How is that lucky? You know, there are some of us who just enjoy driving. (You can tell. We're the ones with manual transmissions.)

  5. Re:To be fair to Obama... on Why Richard Stallman Was Right All Along · · Score: 1

    Spot on, Artor. He has never been able to close Gitmo because Congress has repeatedly denied funds to do so. OTOH, presidents, historically speaking, are not judged by what they said they wanted to do, but what they actually did.

  6. Re:Turn signals are a good thing on Ford System Will Warn, Correct Lane-Drifting Drivers · · Score: 1

    Slightly less than 1 million miles driven and no at-fault accidents. Yeah, I'd say I'm better than average. (And I also use turn signals 99.99% of the time even to the point of catching myself using them when the road does curve.) And I also understand that if two drivers are turning into a multi-lane highway (one turning left and the other turning right), both drivers turn into the lane closest to them. In other words, turning onto a multi-lane highway is not MULTIPLE CHOICE!

  7. Re:What an unfortunate name... on Netflix Creates Qwikster For DVD Only Business · · Score: 1

    It's also backwards. Qwikflix should be the name of the streaming service (as in "quick"). Of course, from a PR standpiont it makes sense. They want to people to use streaming instead of DVD's. In my case, until a lot of the old movies are streamed, I'm sticking with DVD (well, both, actually).

  8. Re:The solution is obvious: on Anonymous Kills Websites, Cartels Kill Bloggers · · Score: 1

    That wasn't the point. It was to dispel the reason of halting violence by legalizing drugs. And I agree. The mafia did not go away when Prohibition was repealed. OTOH, the drug war has been lost and any future monies which would have gone to the 'war' could best be spent elsewhere.
