Police, fire, ambulance, and other emergency vehicles have that strob-light thing that turns the lights green in their favor.
And my idea was just that. I'm quite sure it's not THE best way to go, I just liked the finality of it: you don't stop you get screwed, just like all the other people you're endangering by running the light.
You make a very good point. But do you see the solution more as ignoring the current offenders by not using computers to enforece the law, or more as the laws being changed to something much more realistic?
I think I'd much rather see a system that, when the light turns red, raises a bar of tire-shredders (like when you enter the 'out' section of some parking lots).
People would be much less likely risk running a red light, in my opinion.
Thought the two might work wonders in conjuntion, if the camera were instead tuned to people *speeding* through the intersection.
Oh, and I hate the term 'tough noogies' in this frame of reference. Like other people have posted, you're an idiot for thinking that the law only counts when an officer is looking. Red-light-runners (a minority among other law violators) kill people every day by using that very logic.
To quote rebelcool: (Blast Pressure) is measured in lb/sq. inch. The reason the blast is so damaging to buildings is because of wall size magnifies the force to a few tons of pressure on the side of the wall. The towers if you notice, are open, thin bars that present little surface area for the blast to contact. What is exposed is well anchored.

Mine went something like: "Hi, this is x and I can't come to the phone right now. So leave your name, Visa, American Express or MasterCard number, and I'll get back to you pending credit approval."
Nah, you're on crack. Inmates should not earn a living at all while in prison. It should be all about giving back to the community. If I ran the world, I'd make prisons more like the system in Arizona. It's no coincidence that the repeat crime rate went WAY down.
The real use of inmates should be to save the animals. In other words, test shit out on them....like makeup, for example.
But I would be saying the same things if the person I was talking to was across the table from me. So what's the difference, aside from saving someone some gas money?
At the same time, I'm a fan of cell phone plans with lots of minutes to them. That way, I feel comfortable pausing the conversation when I need to, without the angst of paying through the nose for the time.
Same thing for people in restaurants. So what if they're talking to a piece of electronics? So what if you can't hear the other side of the conversation?
I can understand the concern if it's an quiet, intimate place, but I see people casting dirty looks at people talking on cell phones while they eat...at McDonalds.

If you can't stop before you run a red light, I'd say you were 'driving too fast for the conditions' or whatever they call it nowadays.
Agreed, on both counts.
Yeah, they'll get it. And then they'll ignore the hell out of you when it turns out that your 'automated justice' is saving lives.

Same with California. I too got screwed.
Ah. Sorry.
Al, is that you?!?
You are assuming that 100% of Mac users will get satellite broadband...
Wow. To not see any difference, you must run everything in the same low resolution. Ever try running GTA3 in a higher resolution?
I would say that there are way more than just two games where you'd see a difference.
I think the point was that Blizzard only made the announcement a few hours ago, so how could there have been frequently asked questions so soon after?
In other words, who the hell asked the questions?
Good observation.
The comment was to be combination funny, and to link a face with a name people may more easily recognize.
*said with snarl* "Newman!"
Yes you are, according to a previous post.

Only to say that I'v heard a strikingly similar story. I'd not heard that the tech fell asleep.
Good one!

Too fucking funny! I can almost hear them pretending to say "GO GO GO! Move it, move it!" like those damn mall cops.
That's a great argument for an earpiece.

So slightly more = almost twice as much? (12 oz. vs. 20 oz.)
Perhaps you are correct, but my point still stands. They ARE being purchased.
Oh, and the reason they don't care is because no ones purchased an Xbox in 4 months.
Funny... I just bought four of them for my siblings and I.
