Besides, if a car is unsafe around a light body truck, it must be a death trap around a standard truck or a semi-tractor trailer rig...
And the trucking industry constantly lobbies for greater weights for their trucks. Which cause lots of wear and tear on the roads if nothing else. But now they can't stop as quickly, and they can't get out of their own way on a hill, resulting in mini traffic jams and high speed differentials, which are a dangerous situation.
You can't prevent accidents completely--that's why they're called accidents.
Actually, that's something that many are working to change. Most law enforcement agencies have started using the term crash. Accident implies something that you had little or no control over. Even when the other party is the one doing something that caused the crash, paying close attention on your part can help you avoid the crunching of metal.
Unfortunately for me (usually a pedestrian), cars wont get sold on the safety of the car for pedestrians. People might buy a car because it makes them safer, I dont think many people are going to buy a car because it makes others safer.
That's why is a regulation for new cars in Europe, not a choice to be made when purchasing.
They could at least spread out the approvals a little. The fact that all of his approved submissions tend to come in clusters makes them all the more obvious.
Shorter version: Icahn buys into companies, saddles them with debt, and makes off like a bandit. If Icahn thinks it's a good idea, it's only because it will have maximum benefit for him, and doesn't mean it's good for the health of the company.
Along with digital cameras and anything else that in some way can be considered computer-related. Dell is more of a retailer than anything else these days.
This is very likely to be the case. Many copmanies don't want their name used for a supplier's marketing purposes.
However, I still suspect that there aren't that many actual customers. The whole 'utility computing' concept will be another buzzword that gets lots of press in the industry rags, will find a few niches in which to operate, but doesn't really change the world they way it's touted to.
Not likely. Try gas taxes. In Missouri, a constitutional admendment was recently passed that required all vehicle-related taxes to go to our DOT. Because before, as in most states, the various taxes and fees collected far exceeded what was actually being allocated back to transportation projects.
Except that riding a motorcycle isn't very green in and of itself. Sure, they don't use much fuel, but until now they also have been required to meet any emissions regulations. So your average bike spits out more pollutants than the Expedition in the next lane.
I'd have more faith in such an ongoing investigation if it wasn't an Airbus fly-by-wire system that put their plane into a ground at an air show.
This after numerous problems had already been documented. And Airbus swapped the actual crash flight recorder to help their case that it wasn't a problem with the plane.
That's what I find so funny. If Google went to the city, and said "we want to open a facility here employing X people, and we're also considering cities B and C," they'd probably be falling all over themselves to provide tax abatements, etc.
Not only that but his analogy ignores that an entirely separate entity actively and maliciously misused or exploited the software to gain access to his personal information. Suing the software company would be like suing the acid manufacturer for doing enough to make sure it wouldn't hurt children!
Sort of. I was thinking along the lines of what if the acid was mislabeled by the teacher? That's more akin to someone setting up software but not configuring proper security around it.
however, it DOESNT easily let you file a mail in TWO locations, unless you make a copy of the mail, and that in itself is really awkward.
And that's a huge benefit. But until they implement a selection for 'no label' it's kinda tough if you've got several high-traffic mailing lists coming in to always find that single message you might otherwise miss.
And that's still something that bugs me about GMail - lack of folders. The labels are a cool idea, and provide flexibility that you can't get with folders. But it's still super-handy to be able to dump all mail, from, say, a mailing list into a particular folder. Alternatively, a way to view only messages without labels would be helpful.
It was the first distributed computing project I ever took part in, and as I was just setting up a lab full of then-screaming-fast P166 boxes, it seemed like a good way to test them out...
Well, the conspiracy theorist in me says that the DST changes were made to in order to garner the headlines, and help hide the fact that the 'energy bill' does little besides give profitable oil companies extra tax credits.
It is illegal to carry a portable scanner in your car to monitor police activity. However, it is perfectly legal to monitor those same police broadcasts while using an amatuer band transceiver that is permanently mounted in the vehicle.
Not true. The only federal rule bans monitoring cell phone transmissions. After that, it's state-by-state. Some states have laws that say it's illegal to use a mobile scanner for the furtherance of a crime. A handful of states ban mobile use altogether without permission. That said, there is a federal rule that allows amatuer operators to have a mobile scanner that superecedes state laws.

And more importantly, what great new method is this that isn't already covered by prior art or obviousness?
Not to mention the ecological angle.
I always wonder the same thing when I get an AOL disc. At least the old floppies could be reused for your own stuff.

Has "Skip Inbox" always been a label option? I don't recall ever seeing it when I first tried out labels.

Wow...I think that's the first time I've ever seen a GeoE referenced in a main page /. article...
Do they give news employees a training session in which they teach you to pronounce the company's name correctly? :)
Let the dead people rest in peace instead of turning cemetaries into hi-tech showrooms.
Well, it's already been done. The local ones here have video terminals in their mausoleums where you can view a 'Life Story' of a person.

The handheld vs. permanent rules again vary on a state by state basis.
This site:

And most current production of hydrogen is done by cracking natural gas, not scaling up grade school science class projects...
