You are assuming that a person using a one time key isnt going to copy the data or screen some how and either give away the purchased data or sell it at incredibly low prices. This idea would be very expensive,and push customers away just as the GP says.
Years ago I took a pic of my girlfriend using a polaroid to work around her privacy concerns. Then we scanned it and sent it in to consumptionjunction.
Take caesarean sections, for example. In the US, 31% of births are by caesarian section. That right there is 31% of the future population who would not exist in more primitive times, and who carry genetics that make it at least more likely than average that they themselves will not be able to give birth without modern medical assistance. You can't tell me that doesn't change the overall makeup of a population in terms of its ability to deal with that specific problem.
That is pretty straightforward... 100% of the 31% of births by c-section should have eliminated the woman therefore strengthening future generations.
and this is the reason that the nice parts of town are more likely to be found north of the city, and the airports and industry are likely to be on the south. The affluent people throughout history have moved to the cleanest water.
C section is a horrible example. A great many C-sections are done out of convenience. Who can have childbirth interfere with vacation or social requirements?
My wife had an emergency c-section. It turned out the a fall from a horse many years before had damaged her pelvis to a point that natural birth just didnt work. People like her should not be allowed to pass on the genetic trait of broken bones and physical trauma during teen years!
My car is currently compaining about ABS, and the brake light problem indicator on the dash is on, and the traction control is disabled. I used a friend's code reader to watch the sensor in the right rear break not detect any speed, so we replaced the sensor. We then used the reader to watch the new sensor detect speed correctly, so the problem is fixed. The error that was thrown is apparently a "hard" error code, and cannot be cleared without reflashing the entire computer. This requires the super expensive dealer owned reader. So basically... no one can restore the safety features in my car that are perfectly usable except for the dealer, and only at dealer prices. I feel this is intentional sabotage, so I just drive like I learned to years ago, before there was traction control... I use my brains and skill to stay out of ditches.
He should gain respect from all of the people who think their spouse/child should be free of temptation while using the internet.
Im not debating that this is possible, or useful, or wanted, but I do think there are quite a few people in SC that would enjoy forcing beliefs on the world.
The speed change, your reaction time does not and you should keep distance x meter where x is same as your speed in km/h. That is the thumbrule to avoid crashes.
Faster you drive, less time you have time to notice small things what can cause accidents.
I agree, the faster you are going the larger the following distance needed.
And when there comes water/snow/ice/sand between road and your car tiers, more harder it is to get that car stop.
So this system will be able to detect ground conditions also? If the decision making process is left to GPS, then it should not be my fault for driving too fast on ice as the machine let me do it.
So go a head and be stupid and drive faster, you do not only risk your life but all others as well.
This statement is absolutely true at every tier. Every time any of us get behind the wheel of a car we are risking our lives and the lives of those around us. This needs to be drilled into eveyone's head. This is a dangerous activity, and accepted speed limits and capabilities of the vehicles can easily kill.
And I hope you can say how the most common cause danger to accident on highways is the safety distance to next car, when in front of you jumps the moose or rabbit or any other animal and you get panic and you try to avoid it and.... yeah... the distance really saved your life when your car is trashed to tree, next line car or you have droved car few times around.
If a moose jumps out of the woods 10 yards in front of a car moving 60 mph or 10 yards in front of a car moving 40mph, do you think that either car will not crash, or that the moose isnt going to cause significant damage to either, or the potential of death is gone by reducing the speed by 20 mph?
I am not advocating driving 100 mph through city streets full of pedestrians.
Many cars, we will say about 50, are spread across 4 lanes of traffic over a total distance of a few hundred yards, all traveling between 65 and 75 mph. The faster cars are further to the left, and no one in any lane is driving too close to the car in front of them. This pack of cars is traveling safely, although the posted limit is 55 mph.
A single car, with the user texting on their cell phone is in the left lane, or second to left lane, driving between 50 and 55. The rate of closure between the pack of cars and this driver is quick, and suddenly everyone on the road is braking and shifting lanes. Following distances are severely shortened between many of the original 50 drivers as the highway is effectively 3 lanes for the time that they are navigating around the one person who has decided that they will take the left lane far below the accepted speed of everyone else in relevant proximity (and these people are not going excessively fast).
Any wreck caused in this situation should be considered the fault of the slow idiot.
I disagree with your first conclusion. If there are less wrecks in general, there will be less cost to the insurers. Having more accidents that cost less each will end up with the insurers paying out a larger total because the minimum payout is already very high. Decreasing the likely maximum payout slightly while increasing the number of accidents (at the same time increasing the potential number of cars in each accident) doesnt sound like good math to me.
You other points are dead on... licensing is too easy, and not allowing bad drivers to get their initial license, or quickly removing bad drivers for repeat or significantly bad decisions would provide a much safer roadway much more quickly.
An artificial limit on the number of licenses would be an interesting study... I would live to see how government bureaucracy and corruption could screw up that concept.
This is a common idea that speed is the cause of the crash. Speed can make a crash worse of course, but the most common danger on highways that I see is people driving close together because one person is driving too slow in a fast lane. The bunched up traffic scares the hell out of me.
The very few times that I have been forced to give a CC number to an organization that I didnt trust who intended to debit without my approval (earthlink, I am looking at you), I have immediately called in my card stolen after the transaction was completed. This way, the auto-charges fail, and I get a paper bill that I can then pay. If they make noise and try to force me to allow them to autodebit again, same process. The CC company actually laughed the third time I called in a lost card in less than 6 months.
Seriously, I never see this addressed but I find it highly relevant. I keep my golf clubs in my trunk. People tell me all the time to remove them to save the planet, but no one ever points out that I can lose some weight.
I have to focus on cars with a proper seat design. Sportier seats tend to sit low to the floor. My current Altima has plenty of room, but I had to get the highest trim level with the most power (and worst gas mileage) to fit into it properly. I test drove a different model, and the seats did the typical trick of faking interior cabin space by moving the passengers butts off of the floor. This creates more space for legs as they go down, but removes headroom for people my height. There may be less space in my back seat as I slide back further, but this shouldnt be a common issue for about 10 years as my 2 year old son is the most common back seat passenger.
The only reason that long haul trucking is so much cheaper than rail is that the roads are paid for by the government. If the truckers had to maintain the infrastructure than the economic model would fail. The true cost of shipping by truck is not completely calculated.
it depends on which subset of the media you consider to be the "media" . There is plenty of liberal bias if you look for it. There is plenty of conservative bias if you want to find that.
I find the mutable definition of mainstream to be absolutely hilarious in regards to the MSM meme.
Which was hilarious as Coolio more than sampled Stevie Wonder for that song. The only thing he could be pissed about is Weird Al tying braids in his hair.

my two year old son can beat the shit out of a keyboard and write something that people cant understand. It is no reason to show off!
I dont want to think at all about people sexting at 118 !

but the three digit code is there as proof that I am holding the actual card. If I memorize it I will have broken the entire security model.
Take the extra crap out of the trunk.

I was wondering... my work proxy pops out somewhere in France or Switzerland and I never saw any problems.
I prefer iron filings to magnets for a packing peanut substitue. They are much softer and absorb vibration better.
cool...
