  1. A Special Drivers License? on California Opens Driverless Car Competition With Testing Regulations · · Score: 1

    I hope it's not the same special training that Law Enforcement gets for driving at 70+mph without a seat belt on. I think the lesson on sudden impacts loses a lot of students.

    The Tea Party lives in a fantasy oil world of thinking they will benefit. Yet, I've not seen any, why?

  9. Just A Thought on Driverless Cars Could Cripple Law Enforcement Budgets · · Score: 1

    But with all those Law Enforcement folks that will be out of a job, maybe they can use the same advice the I got when the H1B Trade Schooled Geniuses showed up by the millions. "Go and retrain yourself." I've heard of a lot of people that studied to become hair dressers, and message theapists. It could be a good fit?

    The only thing cheaper than the pathetic moron that said, "ya, this is good idea, do it." And then emailed it to the new CEO is the parser that will run against the emails with the phrases reversed back.

    This would be a interesting application using AIML.

    One has to wonder about several things. 1, how does the U.S. know whom to indite? 2. jurisdiction of the U.S.? 3. And are we finally seeing the ignoring of this Pin Headed concept of BRIC Nations?

    Also, is the U.S. going after the person who said, "ya, it's good idea; do it." or just the teams of rank and file only?

    There was a time when one used IE, but along came Mozilla. Mozilla proved more successfull because it was DRM intollerant. I guess I have to find a browser that is DRM intollerant; any suggestions?

    Initialy, NetScape cost about $30, but it was quickly discovered that browser technology wasn't that difficult to create. Prices fell quickly. Netscape, and that funny sounding browser called Mozilla were free. And as I recall, Mozilla was more friendlyer that IE; go figure that.
