slow or stop completely, depends on the situation. Th one time i didnt, there were 4 cop cars coming up behind me at a light, they were going like bats outta hell, i was at a dead stop, so i jsut stayed there, figured that was the safest. they blew by on both sides doing about 60 in a 25.
Sign in front of the driveway of firehouse in my old city "Please do not block these doors, we may be going to you house"
Anyone who is using one of these to get through a red light should be lit on fire and left in the middle of the intersection. Lets see how long it takes the ambulance to get there navagaing the traffic gridlock these people cause.
Threres a lot of documentaion and specualtion out there about this. look up sunspot cycles and econnomy and youll find a lot. There does seem to be some sort of very loose correlation between them.
but eventually, the phrase "cute monkey"will be understood by all to mean "rabid 900 pound ball crushing gorilla". It dosent really matter in the long run.
youre gonna need to do better tahn that. ALl you had to do was hold down reset while turning on the game. My god. How do i remeber that from 25 fucking years ago??
I remember waking up at 5 am on saturdays to practice playing combat so i could beat my sister. ANd it kept me occupied too. WE had that and space invaders.
Look, you can slap together all the specialized hardware you want, and yes, a room full of top of the line silicon will probably be able to beat a human at any specialized task, especailly one with discrete soloutions.
Ill be impressed when they have a computer that can beat me at chess, write a sonnet, cook up lunch, play fetch with a dog, ponder a sunset, drive a car, change a diaper, laugh at groucho marx, and wonder if it has a soul. Anything less is nothing but an overgrown calculatior. A nifty goddamned calcualtor, dont get me wrong, but a calculator.
This way, any guy who works at the bar, or is friendly with the bouncer, can find out who that really hot chick is at the end of the bar. Get her home address, wait outsdie for her when she gets home. Call her to say hi.
Dont tell me it wont be used for this. I used to work someplace making IDs on a computer system. The security guys would come in all the time and ask "Hey, girl with brown hair, blue eyes, in this building, whats her name?" Pull up the list of pictures, get the info. Then they can go look at the security system to look up her schedule, then just happen to meet her going in or coming out of the building. Theres a very, very thin line between manufactruing an excuse to meet a cute girl, and stalking.
Theres going to be a booming busisness in fake ids though. I have absoloutly no problem with handing someone a fake id with the correct birthdate, and completely bogus other information. THe law requires them to check that i am over 21. That information is accurate, and therefore i am not defrauding anyone. THe law does not require them to take a mugshot and collect private data for marketing.
I am NOT gonna stand up for a fucking mugshot to have a beer. Ill go to the bar next door, ill go to the bar down the street, or ill just go hte hell home and have a beer.
Escept my standard dont leave home without it is a 4 inch opinel knife(may be the worlds best/simplest folding knife, look it up). I noramlly also always have a swiss army knife ANd a leatherman tool. Ive toned it down a bit since the boy scout days. Of course, living in DC i always also always have a dust mask(terrarists) and a glowsick and a flashlight in my bag(metro sucks). I use my folding knife daily, and the swiss army knife and leatherman tool at least weekley.
However, i live in Wash dc, the heat and humidity capitol of, well, the country. Adding one more layer i winter in fine, in summer, its suicide. I go with a shoulder bag/man purse. I blame macguiver for my tendency this way.
THe same people who are getting multiple piercings and tatoos with green hair and punk clotes today are the same ones who in 100 years will have the video screens built into their chests and the headlines playing across their forehead. Everyone else will just have animplanted hone and nanotech medical devices. Exelent comic series BTW

All my professors were adjunct part time folks.
What it will wind up being used for, as with every other computer technology, is solitare and porn.
