You don't increase time on the yellow.... you let the yellow turn red on the same timer, but you leave both directions red for 2 seconds just to ensure the intersection is clear before showing a green light. That's how you make it safer.
But this doesn't stop rolling-rights-on-red which are the bread and butter of these revenue machines.
And I have yet to see any data that r-r-o-r are dangerous.
Ideally, if you are inside the solid lines when the light turns yellow you should be able to proceed through the intersection at the speed limit before the light goes red..
This has not been true for some many years, but is often thought to be the rule, like "You will die from the powder residue from a broken flourescent light bulb".
Legally, yes. I not only stopped for the red, I stopped at the stop line which is much further back than where most motorists stop. The annoying part is that if I drove as badly as everyone else, nothing would have happened.
Now whenever I stop, I end up questioning whether I'm doing the right thing.
The parents were notified of the defamation and took no action to close the FB account, which remained available for another 11 months. The parents were held directly liable for failing to act once notified, not for what was posted on the fake FB account.
It's all in the PDF of the decision linked in the summary above, if you're not too lazy to read it.
Being a fuckhead like Jobs or Torvalds is ONE way of enforcing order. But it's not the only way. It's probbably the most obvious and easy though. But no, I don't agree that Jobs and Torvalds have to be shitheads for Apple and Linux to succeed.
I think that Jobs and Torvalds confuse deference for respect. Both are components of successful leadership styles.
They also might know the difference, but just not care.
I can't code, but I can submit bug reports containing useful and valid information that is useful in fixing bugs. But in doing so, I've occasionally encountered a few asshats. I just move on to other projects that appreciate the feedback. Let those people wallow in their own inflated sense of self-importance.
Research suggests that a long summer vacation adversely impacts learning. The Copernican School Plan provides a reasonable balance of school and free time. Only institutional inertia and ignorance precludes it wider adoption.
Most people blog on their own sites due to the obstacles involved with contributing good documentation. Fundamentally, it's a coordination problem, and that's something tools are good at solving.
I have found https://wiki.archlinux.org/, the Arch Linux Wiki to be the most useful single source of information taht is generalized enough to apply to most other distributions.
As an early adopter of Linux, I too found the existing documentation appalling and started writing better documentation, which led to co-authoring RedHat/Fedora Unleashed with Bill Ball.
My advice is to contribute to the documentation yourself since it appears that no one else, including the software authors, care much about it.
But the barriers to contributing are high. You may not only need to learn about the application, but you need to learn any number of arcane editing and versioning tools, and then convince someone in authority to accept and include your changes. It's really no different that contributing code to a project and for your average writer, that's a huge hassle and likely a big part of why more writers don;t contribute.
AFAIK, he told the agent he made the tweet, so his "I'll show you" attitude figured into the equation. The agents' "You're not the boss of me" attitude was also a part. Result: Two asshats vie for the title of "Biggest Dick". And they both won.

Clearly the only solution is to take the bus.
Now I see their clever plan . . .
Also, can we stop pretending these are about anything other than revenue generation?
This. Just the mere fact that they actually budgeted against the ticket revenue tells you everything you need to know.
And that they have access to the revenue data but have no idea if the roads are safer.

I was just notified by email that the anonabox Kickstarter project has been suspended by Kickstarter for violating their TOS.
All funding has stopped and backers will not be charged for their pledges, according to the message.
A sad result, but you have to credit Kickstarter for their actions.

Lie detectors themselves have been proven time and time again to be utterly unreliable in actually detecting lies.
Apple behaves more like Microsoft every day.
Your parents, their character as you describe it and their unique, unchangeable circumstances present an unsolvable problem given your goals.
You must let them go and allow them to deal with their own problems on their own time and spending (or wasting) their own money.
You cannot save, much less help, your parents because their circumstances and behaviors offers you no alternative.

The deputy did put a knife in Olin's hand, so it was self-defense.
... but I strangled my neighbor's unicorn, last night.
Or you could have sodomized that unicorn. That would have been OK as well.
But mention the word "gun" and everybody goes batshiat insane!
Some people are too stupid to breathe. Or breed.
The stupid people appear to breed quite well. It's the neckbeards with the Cheetos-stained fingers that are unsucessful at breeding.
They will think that satires are some kind of automobile wheel.

Where's the source code for the FOSS project? The license is GPLV3.

That the direction I took: http://maximumhoyt.com/ until that became too much of a hassle.
Now I use Zim for creating personal documentation. One day I'll get around to putting that stuff in my blog.

I'm glad to know that DHS has solved all the critical security issues of our nation so that they can devote their resources to Expendables 3.
I feel safe and secure now.

There has been an active Linux community for these games for quite some time. Many can run on DOSBox or WINE with alittle tweaking.
As well, a lot of theses games have hi-def visuals available as a substitute and other enhancements.
If GOG can package all tghis together as an easily insrtallable package (insted of requiring a HOWTO), it will be great.
