No, but I'll bite your nice bit of trolling since you also seem to be one of the unsafe drivers around here.
AC are a nice feature, but should be inoperable while the car is moving, ditto for the radio (in fact as I recall you are not allowed to fiddle with the radio while driving in Britain), same for GPS, seats and map lights.
Clicking from turn signals is needed since you get audible feedback from your action so you don't need to look at the dashboard to see its blinking. Also the clicking actually tells you if one of the lights has gone out since it will be clicking faster - again a safety measure.
Cruise control should be abolished, it just helps the driver falling a sleep - and on top of that people I've seen with cruise control take their foot of both pedals - this means their reaction time is now measured in seconds.
Getting rid of all seats except the drivers is just silly and kinda removes any insightful input you might have wanted to come across. Any passenger in the car should however not be allowed to engage the driver in casual talk.
Not being native English I have no idea what "tilt" or "the tach" is.
No, never in my life have I had to speed up to avoid an accident.
Just like all the others claiming its nice to do so, you sir do not belong behind the wheels of a car. The reasoning behind you speeding up to avoid the collision are all indicators of you being unable to proper factor in your environment.
You should at all times be aware of your surroundings so should the need to get away arise you can safely go around the trouble; if the car behind you is too close you should take the foot off the speeder and let him get by you since he is a hazard to both you and himself. At all times you should be keeping a safe breaking distance to the car in front of you - again this might mean taking the foot off the pedal and easing back a bit, live with it, getting to your destination 30 seconds later might end up saving your life.
Lets see, you are justifying speeding because you can't be bothered to make sure the lane is clear. On top of that you need miles and miles to overtake at 80 which means (as the GP said) you didn't need to overtake in the first places.
So actually you would be prime target for these devices since you obviously cannot be trusted with a car.
No you don't need to go faster, you need to stay within limits, with amble breaking space - even if you are dumb enough to be too close to the guy having an accident in front of you, you don't need to go faster, you need to get out of the way; doing that is best archived by going around rather than through at top speed...
Anything distracting the driver is a huge danger, I can't even count the number of times I've been in near collision with a driver on his cell, looking on a map or otherwise engaged in anything but making sure there isn't a bike in his way when taking the next right.
And as to the people claiming you need the extra horse powers to get away; not bloody likely. Most will panic and do silly things, you don't need horsepower to get away from an accident, you need to keep your head cool and go around it. Going faster doesn't help you if you are already doing the wrong thing.
Also just put the shows on at times where its expected to have children put properly to bed. For instance here in Copenhagen a local TV station is showing hardcore porno between 0 and 4:30 am; of course this has lead to some share of people shouting think of the children, but they got told to get bend, children are not supposed to be up at that time.
But then again we are pretty liberal with what we accept; only TV censoring I can think of is airing children oriented commercials during children shows (yes you are not allowed to show commercials for toys during programming targeted for children) and any commercials for gambling.
Indeed the climate changes over time, but this time around 6 billion people are going to be in the ways of Mother Earth - this means we are going to see climate refugees and climate wars, again nothing new, we have always had something to run away from or fight over, the difference this time is the scale its going to happen on.
Oh also, it might be part of a natural cycle, but you keep saying that to yourself when standing knee deep in water, hoping for someone to pick you up.
Global warming is the wrong term anyways. Global climate change is what we are looking at - and just because it ain't getting hotter where you are, some areas of the world are seeing 1-2 degrees higher average temperature, which is a big deal.
Yeah don't get me wrong, I think security is a big issue, but I (we) are not Joe Average.
I got KDEWallet to store my passwords, use different passwords different places, and if the site is just slightly shady I use different login compared to my default (splab).
A good example of forcing security (I think) is the way we handle pin codes at work (used for signing in on your phone). Rather than using a 4 digit code we require a 5 digit and suggest they should not use any part of their credit card pin. Now we could ask users to punch in alpha numeric code when logging in (they can chose so), but phones really aren't good for punching in those passwords.
and I don't really care. I might have access to the source code, but fuck me if I'm going to wade through it. I use both open and closed source software, the right tool for the right job.
Well he is right you know. The information about server state might be considered privileged information and since you are no longer with the company you don't have the privileges to the information.
Yes the new guy is an idiot for not following instructions, but that doesn't excuse you - you should contact them and tell them to fix it.
Why? Well a premiere DVD movie costs 200DKR ($40), a premiere BlueRay costs 300DKR - playing a DVD on my PS3 on my 40" TV looks absolutely beautiful - BlueRay would probably look nicer, but definitely not 50% better.
Also the BlueRay market is very limited around here, even shops specializing in music and movies carry a very limited set of BlueRay movies.
When the prices for BlueRay starts to drop below 150DKR then I'll be buying, but I wont even pay the 200 for a premiere movie, so there is no way I'd ever pay 300 for one.
There is a huge difference between editing some online thing like Wikipedia in your spare time and paying for the roof over your head and food on your table with your job editing lexica.
Also; Wikipedia admins carry quite a lot of power, usually changing the history of a country was reserved to the ruling elite - now it can be accomplished by a disgruntled admin.
The pig go. Go is to the fountain. The pig put foot. Grunt. Foot in what? ketchup. The dove fly. Fly is in sky. The dove drop something. The something on the pig. The pig disgusting. The pig rattle. Rattle with dove. The dove angry. The pig leave. The dove produce. Produce is chicken wing. With wing bark. No Quack.
Stolen from the daily wtf. (who got it from someone else)
As I understand it they are searching the drives when you enter the US, so in fact you are done flying, the data in question is to determine if you are a threat to national security (I guess).

Such a load of crap.

Indeed.
Also just put the shows on at times where its expected to have children put properly to bed.

Yeah because pimple faced fat smelly guys are the defacto trendsetters.

Who are you to come here and ruin his anecdotal evidence contradicting the smart guys with facts?
Mix it up with something known, yeah someone knowing the procedure would still be through, but as you said, it beats nothing.
However, still not a good solution.
Yeah don't get me wrong, I think security is a big issue, but I (we) are not Joe Average.
I got KDEWallet to store my passwords, use different passwords different places, and if the site is just slightly shady I use different login compared to my default (splab).

I mean seriously, most sites transmits their passwords in plain text - most people use the same credentials everywhere so whats the big fudging deal?
If you can't trust your upstream provider you should be using someone else anyways.
Good point, except I think Xerox lost their trademark status because they failed to protect it.
and I don't really care. I might have access to the source code, but fuck me if I'm going to wade through it. I use both open and closed source software, the right tool for the right job.
Uhm, hope you are joking, cause you just gave away your login to your supposedly email address...
Google it, should be pretty apparent what BDSM is.
He is talking about a safe word for when things get a bit out of hand - but the other way around; a word to allow things to get out of hand.
Well he is right you know. The information about server state might be considered privileged information and since you are no longer with the company you don't have the privileges to the information.
Yes the new guy is an idiot for not following instructions, but that doesn't excuse you - you should contact them and tell them to fix it.
and so far no BlueRay movies.
Why? Well a premiere DVD movie costs 200DKR ($40), a premiere BlueRay costs 300DKR - playing a DVD on my PS3 on my 40" TV looks absolutely beautiful - BlueRay would probably look nicer, but definitely not 50% better.

No, you forget this is the RIAA, what we are looking for is disemboweled.
What the hell are you raving about?
Want me to attack the US to get them to fix their stupidity or do like the rest and just boycott them till they get some sense?
Konquerer usually gives me a splash screen with something crashed when I try to use it.
The pig go.
Go is to the fountain.
The pig put foot.
Grunt.
Foot in what? ketchup.
The dove fly.
Fly is in sky.
The dove drop something.
The something on the pig.
The pig disgusting.
The pig rattle.
Rattle with dove.
The dove angry.
The pig leave.
The dove produce.
Produce is chicken wing.
With wing bark.
No Quack.
