and most models should also state the duration of the preceeding yellow light.
The first picture is triggered when crossing the line (or a few cm behind), the 2nd is triggerd with a timer. So you can see if the car actually drove into the intersection (huge fine), or stopped, but simply missed the line. (smaller fine)
BTW: You also can get fined while crossing during yellow. (really small fine, and hardly ever prosecuted as the city would have to find proof first, that you would have been able to brake and stop instead of accelerating)
But I'm in the lucky position of having a short- and an (almost normal but still) farsighted eye. So I still see rather well without glasses, but have to concentrate more to shift between near and far objects. I guess my brain just learned that trick in the years before I relized I have a good and a bad eye.
Watching magic eye without glasses works even to a certain extent, but is really straining. I start to actually feel the muscles around my eyes....
Beeing not able to fool your eyes into focusing the "wrong" distance (twice the distance eye picture instead of once) is not per se a problem with your eyes.
But you didn't boycott color movies until "The Matrix" because that was the first movie that depended on the difference between the red and blue pill to tell its story?
One-eyed-short-sightedness isn't the problem. I suffer from the same thing (-4.8 left, +0.5 right; + and - might be swapped, sorry...) and see Magic Eye stuff just fine.
Thats how it is supposed to be. (when done right).
Or are you still aware that the movie is in COLOR? That was all the rage umphty years ago, but people became less aware of that technological progress over the years. It stayed, because it brought movies closer to the viewing experience of the "real world"
Note to all directors: In said "real world" I * watch most objects from greater distances than 20cm in fromt of my nose * hardly see stuff hovering in front of me * hate having things hurled at me. If I'd enjoy that view, I'd play goal keeper at a soccer club. * don't have friggin sharks, snakes et al jumping at me every five minutes!
3D is here to stay only if directors stop to treat it as a gimmick. They have to make it as normal as color - before the audience gets bored of it. "how to tame..." made a good job of it. mainly because the movie would have worked perfectly well in 2D also!
3D is just another means of picture composition. With lots of fantastic opportunities and a few new things to keep in mind while shooting. Avatar was good at this, as they used 3D to give the movie more (visual:-)) depth, not shove something into your face, gave you some time at the beginning to get used to 3D (more close ups and confined sets) before moving into the open jungle, resisted the temptation of having that rhino-dino charging directly at you.
And they found out that in 3D, actors have to walk around the subtitles.:-)
If the Trailers for Alice and something that looked like "Findung Nemo" starring a turtle are somehow representative of the actual movies, they failed.
But he is right........just for a different kind of "fix". Or rather a different evaluation of that "automatic channel flipping". Is it an "usual feature" or a "support for legacy device"? Try to look at it like that and you'd be less surprised that you have to pay a premium for it.
old monolithic media organizations provide an invaluable service, in terms of investigative reporting and on site presence of people during important historical moments.
That was true until (at least over here) started to only regurgitate Reuters and dpa
"Keep selling a board with the original rules" is not exactly the definition of an optional rule. It's rather taking advantage of the people who never realized that ALL rules are more or less optional.
It shouldn't take the players more than 3 minutes to decide if proper nouns are allowed or not. Sure as hell they shouldn't have to buy a different board for that!
if we're lucky, we might get theleaflet with the "classic" rules as an "expansion set" for half the price of a complete game....
OTOH: Hasn't everyone overthrown this rule with "Counts if google has more than 1000000 hits for it" anyway?
I don't know how it's going to be implemented, but at least over here we have also mandated health insurance, but still can vote with our Euros from which insurrance company I want to get it from. (Basically. In realtiy it's a bit more complicated)

No, I simply wear glasses :-)

at least color TV over here had it.
The first TV show after color TV started, was a gold-sequined nightmare. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_goldene_Schu%C3%9F#Fernsehgeschichtliche_Bedeutung
Don't worry. Collecting 'Magic the Gathering" trading cards, comic books or AD&D miniatures counts towards slashdot-demographics too.

And out-of-screen-effects suck anyway.

who are you to decide that?
what keeps us from turning it into a game about Pop culture by only allowing proper nouns?

The gpl guarantees fixes as fast as you are able to debug the code yourself.
Thats what is guaranteed. But what you can expect is getting a fix as soon as someone debugged the code. (usually pretty fast, but not guaranteed)
and even that CMA-guarantee is much better than what you get for closed source.
... google IS a US-based company.... what did they expect?
Well, then there are the SIngle Malts....
you actually use miles per gallon but km to the next service??

The given link is less critic of the trend of not trying to produce "good" wines, but rather producing wines that Mr Parker is going to like.
Because quite often quality == 'likes' of some guy who wrote a book about it.

Hmmm.. seems like i didn't get the memo with the "shall never ever take care of public health"
Common fallacy:
very few wines are suited for aging well... most actually become worse after a few years.
Hmmm...
Logan's Run definitly IS older than 30 years by now....
