I'm colorblind and I did learn that. But in some places in Southern California (for example), the traffic lights are hung sideways. Maybe it's for aesthetic reasons, but it makes it tough to figure out yellow vs. red on the fly. For me, another issue is the flashing yellow lights at intersections. Or is it a red light? Or a yellow light? Or... Depending on the ambient light, the current bulb lights (I'm guessing they're bulbs?) aren't distinct enough for me to be always able to tell and so I sometimes just come to a complete stop (which tends to piss off the people behind me.)

A dozen years ago I was a reporter in the Texas Panhandle and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice used "telemedicine" extensively.

As someone red-green colorblind, the polarized ones (a) allow me to see the images in 3D and (b) contribute significantly to looking like a dork when someone suddenly walks into the living room and catches you watching Captain EO.
Funny you say that. I've been curious if someone has been behind the company, financially supporting maybe their legal time to test the waters of the issue.
From the article, it sounds like they're talking about using the format for their news publications (or whatever the equivalent is for Fox):
"Content producers will also struggle to get people to pay for magazines and newspapers because many also offer free versions online."
That's absolutely their content. When you're a reporter and you file a story, the story belongs to the newspaper, magazine, whatever. It's in no way yours (although, as a reporter I was allowed to use clippings of my stories as writing samples when I applied for jobs.)
One thing I will say, in response to Murdoch's comment:
"News Corp. receives a little more than a third of the $14.99 monthly subscription fee Amazon.com charges for The Wall Street Journal, but it has limited access to subscriber data, Murdoch said last month, describing why the relationship was "not a great deal."
You know what? Fuck you Murdoch. You have zero rights to that data. Buying it for the Kindle or whatever is no different than buying it at a newsstand or a bookstore. What? I'm supposed to go to the cashier and say, "Hi, just this Time magazine. Here's my home address should the publisher be interested." Murdoch is a douche and the bag it comes in.
Why is this a YRO story? In all seriousness, it's a "newspaper's rights online." They have every right to do with their content what they wish. If they suffer financially for their decisions, then it serves them right. But there's no inherent right to free access to the content they produce.
It's not that they don't care. It's that they know it's not realistic so there's no reason for them to pull money out of their Bribe-a-Politician fund and put it toward a program that will never happen.
As much as I think "there, fixed it for you" comments are moronic this time I had to: "Depression is usually a treatable illness." I have an aunt who has been suffering with post-partum depression for more than 15 years. She's gone through treatment. She's tried dozens of medications. She goes through the highs and lows that I guess are not uncommon with depression, but the highs rarely last. Thus far, treatment hasn't been able to do anything.

Sounds like every conversation I ever had with my ex-wife.

Already happened. It's called "Fox News." (Or "MSNBC," depending on one's leanings.)

How does something look, "just like Windows XP" in one sentence and, "Really, really similar" in the next?

That's only because Jack Thompson didn't think of it.

Whoops. Thanks bertoelcon. And that happened even after I chose to preview. :)

I, for one, welcome our clone overlords.
I'd hardly go to people working naked for help with any kind of laundering.

Isn't that one of the achievements, too?

This one goes to 11.
Yet this could end up being some sort of goofy precedence setting case for when things like Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash Metaverse happen.
You were late on payments for it more than three times so it was repo'd.
Wonder if it might make Fukung funny again.

If he is acquitted, could he then be tried in a military court?
