  9. Re:Inflexibility means brittle. on UK to Put Monitors in Every Car? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I've always thought an in-car speed limit warning is something we need.
    I've always though that speed limits signs are generally well placed and visible.

    A lot of drivers want to drive the speed limit, but often don't pay attention to what speed they are actually driving.
    I realise that alot of drivers need to pay more attention to thier driving. Better control should help keep us all safe.

    Seriously. This plan looks like a perpetual drivers' test. And if anything could raise the quality of driving and road safety of a nation, that looks like just the thing.

    The world is actually already full of self-replicating nanoscale bots, and at this very moment your very own precious body contains billions of them! Scary, huh?

    ... akin to cheating at solitaire, a source of false accomplishment and just one more instance of the fraying in society's moral fabric.
    Don't you think that the fact that, violent video game play was positively related to aggressive behavior and delinquency, is a bit more of a worry?

    From the WINE FAQ:
    Is Wine an emulator?
    Fortunately, no. Wine provides low-level binary compatibility, but currently only for OSes running on Intel-compatible chips.

    From the article:
    Or maybe I think SCO sucks sweaty monkey balls and their customers should be redirected to a web page of ranting and ravings about why they should cancel their contracts or somesuch.
    Okay, so they made a mistake, be nice.
