    Actually no, the safest place is to be behind him, well behind him. As you can always stop if he stops, but you can't always speed up in time if he starts going very very fast.

    Problem is most people don't run redlights, so those cameras arn't creating a backlash. Trust me, 99% of the population would get a ticket on the first day if this thing was suddenly in their car for speeding fines.

  3. Re:Windows Backup? on Simple Windows Backup to CD/DVD? · · Score: 1

    I use two bat files to do this for me with winrar,
    rarbackup.bat and rarbackupfull.bat
    rarbackup.bat backs up eveything changed sence the last backup and rarbackupfull backs up everything so you can do nightly runs of rarbackup and weekly or monthly runs of rarbackupfull. These files backup everything from D: and put the file in E:\backup\ and called the file backup+datastamp .rar and are set at volume sizes of 4400 MB for DVD backup (I left alot of space yes, but thats just the way I wanted it) obviously change this for your own taste and read winrars command line manual.

    rarbackup.bat
    c:\progra~1\winrar\winrar a -r -ac -ao -ed -eH -m5 -os -v4400m -xrecycler -xpagefile.sys -ag E:\backup\backup D:\*.*

    rarbackupfull.bat

    And thus a clique is born, brought up from infancy by a single catch phase. But as it reaches maturity it begins to develop the potential to spawn.

  8. Re:Why, no, I HAVEN'T RTFA! on Robots for Air Force Protection · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure these robots are spies and are currently not equipt with weapons. The predator does carry weapons though, but I'm quite sure its requires a person to tell it where and when to shoot. Aside from defensive weapons (patriot missiles for example) there are no weapons that pick their own targets currently and probably won't be for a long ways off.

    Thats why people make Operating Systems so you don't actually have to use the computer. Anyways the first quantum computers will probably be co-processors as the normal logic based programs wouldn't run on them.

  17. Re:Good reliable voting solutions on Hardly Anyone Cares About Computer Voting Problems · · Score: 1

    I live in Leon county florida, we have a bubble sheet ballet, with a very good scantron thingy. So when you're done with the ballot you put it in the scantron yourself, and if its not absolutly sure on how you voted, it spits it back out and asks you to do it again. We were the only county in which the first and second times that the votes where recounted in 2000 that it didn't change at all from the original vote. Whoho!

  18. Re:Calendars are for Blizzard.... on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 0

    No Quake IV is on the slate soon afterwards, I'm sure they won't release a DOOM IV, atleast not for a long long time.

    FYI: For the future DOOM will be the brand name for single player games with small multiplayer addons, while Quake is the brand name for multiplayer Arena style games. There is a third code name for a future planned project that will be a Massive Multiplayer Games, but I can't recall it right now.

    Currently World population increases by 75 million people each year. At that rate it would very very difficult to send people out ito space quick enough just to stop population growth, not even mention actually decreasing the population. Either way being spread out among the stars simply decreases the single point of failure, it in no way would decrease total earth population without something else happening to do that for us.
