I am not sure about navies, but armies have long used various colors to designate branches. Though usually the colors were trimming on a uniform or incorporated into insignia, not the main color.
No need to be an asshole if you can just watch the game in the car. The need to get from point A to B as quickly as you can changes when you can do most all the things in the car that you would be doing at home or whatever. The vast majority of airplane and train passengers are perfectly patient to wait out the trip and most of them don't even have the luxury of their own space to do whatever they want in.
It would make no sense for it to work the other way round. A human's reaction time is far too slow to intervene when (s)he thinks the car computer will do something bad.
Just as long as they aren't running Windows. I find myself intervening with Windows PCs all the time when I think they are about to something bad. Given their speed, my reaction time is plenty fast.
I make a 10 hour round trip every month. The past few months I have started listening to audiobooks and my conclusion is that I would much rather read. I find myself going back a lot because my attention is distracted by something on the road or my mind simply wanders because I'm doing the same thing for hours. The other downside is I often do not know how things in the audiobook are supposed to be spelled. Things such as character and place names. I feel like I am missing a lot from the experience of actually reading where I can follow the story with a map and visualize the places where events are taking place. Or if the work is one of a technical nature, I often wish to research supporting concepts or try things out myself along the way.
Since spending time in the car is necessary (much easier and cheaper to travel this route by car) I'd much rather spend my time there as a passenger who read, nap, eat, whatever, anything but being chained to the wheel.
This means that, given certain common physics and certain standardised car parameters (such as maximum permitted acceleration), the cars will work out the safe following distance for their speed and (importantly) stick to it at all times.
THIS. I'm sick of all the tailgating morons who think that 5 - 7 MPH over the speed limit still isn't fast enough.
Actually it would be like detaining an Irish pagan on suspicion of being an IRA terrorist. Hinduism and Islam are entirely unrelated to each other. Episcopalians and Catholics on the other hand might as well belong to the same religion.. Oh wait, they do.
Ironic how the kernel of your post was about ignorance.
You seem to be forgetting at the very least the venerable Senator Orrin Hatch, whose only necessary campaign slogan is 'experience'. Indeed I wouldn't trust anyone with any less experience to take so many campaign contributions from lobbyists.
I've had two HTC phones (one being the Nexus One) and have noticed no significant problems. I have noticed that most of the apps that came with the second one are not worth using compared to the stock Google apps (Calendar, Music, etc) but that probably goes for most brands of phones.
I would recommend abcde for ripping/tagging. It's a great, no-hassle CLI tool. I'm sure there is a CLI based album art downloader which you could combine with abcde into a short shell script.
The M60 has been supplanted by the M240B for years now. By 'M243', you must mean the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon. The M16A4 is hardly new. We drew them during basic training at Fort Benning over twelve years ago. The M16 has been supplanted by the M4 for a number of years now in all but the most neglected stateside arms rooms (in the Army anyway).
That's because you can actually get some work done on a good Linux distro, instead of spending all your time rebooting and getting popups out of your face.

So you're saying that seat belts didn't work so well when they were a new and developing technology but they do now? Hmm..

Still, you make a good point.
Would it happen to be a slight drift to one side at the opportune moment..?
Don't worry, I'm sure there will be some Amish or Mennonites that you can hang out with for their manually driven cars.

Not good enough. We want it within a millimeter!
It's posts like this that make me keep reading Slashdot. Brilliant.
If you knew anything about Stallman, you would know that he prefers the term 'free' as in freedom (does that ring any bells?).

Valid point but I do have to nitpick.

Awesome sketch. Thanks for the reminder!
So, I can use this to throw virtual chairs?

You'd be naive to believe they don't have a few robotic Gates' stashed away somewhere "just in case".
Don't worry. The government is too big to fail.
We're not deploying a hotfix on a production planet on my shift, dammit! You can do whatever you want after I go home though.
Five years?! Needs more torpedoes.
Slobovia is somewhere near BFE if I recall my geography correctly.
Hurrah for the Pirate King! And it is, it is, it is a glorious thing to be the Pirate King!
