I spent 25 cents on it. I put my quarter in and started the game. I watched the intro, and then I was dead. Evidently the intro was actually the game. Anyway, this pissed me off so much that I've hated it ever since.
I have never heard of this before, and I'm skeptical. Can you cite a source specifically stating that children do not enjoy the benefits of the first amendment?
It doesn't spell trouble. In cases where someone behind me wants to go faster than I am going, they do the same thing that they would do if I was in a car. They pass me when it is safe to do so. This isn't rocket science.
I don't think any bicyclist, including pro riders, can sustain 35mph for more than a few minutes on flat ground.
But I haven't seen a minimum speed posted anywhere near where I live. In fact, in the city, 35mph is usually the maximum speed I see. When traffic is heavy, I can usually keep up with the average pace. On roads with a 35mph minimum speed, I agree that bicyclists should not be there. On roads with a 35mph maximum speed, I don't see a problem. If you're driving so fast that you can't react to things in front of your vehicle, that means you are driving too fast for conditions.
I bike all winter in Wisconsin. Bikes and snow mix just fine. Last winter, there were no days that I was unable to ride due to weather. I commute to work 10 miles each way by bike. Snow is not a problem. Ice can be tricky, but if it's ever so bad that it's impassable, you wouldn't be able to travel by car either. If it were really bad, I could get studded tires, but that hasn't even been necessary.
His assumption would have been correct then. I hope you see gowen's reply.
There seems to be this bias in cases of motor vehicle vs bicycle collisions that the bicyclist must have been at fault. I was involved in a collision in January in which I was travelling straight through an intersection and an oncoming car turned left through my path. I was following all the rules and indisputedly had the right of way. The police shared my opinion when they arrived at the scene and issued a citation to the driver. I received a settlement paying for 100% of my bicycle repair and medical costs, which came to about $2500. Fortunately, I didn't suffer any long term consequence from this incident, but as far as I know, this careless driver is still on the road. And she's not the only one. I see a disconcerting number of motorists on the road who are not fit to operate 3000 pound machines at high speed. Driving should be treated as a privelege, not a right.
I do see a lot of cyclists doing really stupid and unsafe things, and it bothers me because I know people form opinions of all cyclists based on these people.
>And lets face it...no one drives the speed limits anymore...making it even more dangerous for a bicycle on a busy street.
So the solution is to let them keep speeding and just get bikes off the roads? I don't think so. Enforce the existing laws. Ticket speeders. In the city where I live, I don't know of any roads with speed limits higher than 35mph, and traffic is rarely moving that fast. Riding at 25mph on the sidewalk is probably at least 10 times more dangerous than riding in the street where cyclists belong. It would be fine if it weren't for driveways and intersections. Motorists never look for fast moving vehicles on the sidewalk when they're determining if it's safe to cross a sidewalk. They always assume the sidewalk will only have people moving at a pedestrian speed. I've been hit by drivers pulling out of driveways while biking on the sidewalk multiple times because of this problem. Now I never ride on the sidwalk, and I have noticed that I stopped getting hit by cars. I don't think this is a coincidence.
You've probably figured out that I bike.
You're right that I can't maintain 35mph, but the speed limit is the maximum speed you can drive. If it's ok to go 45 when the speed limit is 35, which is 10 over the limit, then it surely must be ok to go 25, which is 10 under the limit.
Occasionally, drivers have to wait behind me, but I don't think any individual has ever been delayed by me by more than 10 seconds. In fact, the vast majority of delays encountered on roads are due to motor vehicles. Maybe they should get on the sidewalk. In the real world, there is no guarantee that you won't be delayed when you're driving. All road users delay all other road users. In fact, cars delay me more than I delay cars on the average day.
That is some bad ass handling on the part of the mystery hand... damn. It takes all my concentration just to follow my line through a tight corner in a pack at speed. I can't imagine handling some n00b's handlebars too. (yes, I know I'm comparatively n00bly by these standards as well)
Quite right. Most of the geeks I know get some kind of exercise. My personal vice is biking. I have over 2000 miles accumulated since 1/1/06. Using geekiness as an excuse holds no water with me.
I have used it and am currently using it, but I it has a few problems that I suspect CL2 will not, given the standard to which google seems to test their products.
There is no way to skip a day for repeated events.
Repeated events show up in list view with the wrong dates and in the wrong order.
Repeated events do not show up in RSS feeds.
There is no RSS feed that will show you the next x days. For example, on December 31, the week, month and year feeds will not show you events for January 1. What I really need is a feed that shows me the next 7 days.
There is a lot I like about calendarhub, but these problems make it unusable for me. 30boxes is looking good, but it doesn't seem to have an import feature, so I might wait for CL2.
There are many rights that we US citizens do not have. I would hardly consider driving while intoxicated to be one of the rights that we have as citizens. Other rights we don't have include:
Arson
Yelling fire in a crowded theater
Punching strangers in the face
Robbing banks
Bombing churches
Not being offended
Sawing down trees in public parks
If you have been drinking and need transportation, I reccommend calling a cab/taking the bus/train/subway/walking.

Downsides to running as compared to biking:
But then, I might be biased. I like to ride a fair amount.

What's a chane?

Cheney donated over $6,000,000 of his ~$9,000,000 income in 2005.
Yes, I imagine that is unpleasant. Hope that never happens to me.

I don't think you understand how to calculate precent reductions. Let me show you:
OA=Old Amount
NA=New Amount
Your savings, expressed as a percentage according to the commonly accepted definition is:
100 * (OA - NA) / OA
Assuming both amounts are positive, this percentage will be less than 100.

Are you using dictation software?
Quite right. Most of the geeks I know get some kind of exercise. My personal vice is biking. I have over 2000 miles accumulated since 1/1/06. Using geekiness as an excuse holds no water with me.
These are hard for me to compare.
Not only is it the lowest positive integer, it's also the multiplicative identity.
My personal solution is to never turn my ipod off. When not playing, it doesn't seem to burn any noticeable amount of battery, on or off.
No, it's not useless. I use it every day. If you don't like, why are you using it? If you aren't using it, what's the problem?
I use the lock to prevent buttons from being pressed while I'm biking.
That would mean that there are at least as many 0 and 1 legged people combined as there are 2 legged people. I find that hard to believe.
Let me give you an algorithm for computing median. Sort your data. The median is the datum at index round(n/2) where n is the length of your list.
In this case, you will have a list containing a vast majority of 2s. Therefore, the middle of the list will contain a 2.
Yes, that it is what is being referred to. Poster is referring to now.

Uhhh.. why not? The bank shouldn't be sharing that. Personal data can be shared with pencil and paper too you know.
