  5. Re:I'm a loser on Toyota Offers Automatic Parallel Parking Option · · Score: 1

    Try this:
    1. Drive forward beyond the space entirely, about 24 inches from the car on the right.
    2. Back up until straight you're halfway past the car in front, then turn the wheel all the way in.
    3. Back up another quarter of the car then turn the wheel all the way back the opposite way.

    Adjust a little as needed, and you should be OK. It's a great rule of thumb to learn.

    Ah, another common mistake. A fast lick might be fun sometimes, but the long drawn out ones are generally better.

  7. Re:Purpose of regulation irrelevant to VoIP on California PUC Calls For A Public Hearing On VoIP · · Score: 1
    That whole regulation model is somewhat messed up. Anytime you have a regulator, they have to know very well what's going on in the field and be able to act accordingly.

    You're presuming competence and transparency anytime you regulate like this- you tell me how well they're doing!

    The free market way to regulate this is to accept that the physical network is a natural monopoly, and then to put up operation of it up for bid every 3-4 years (in regional chunks of course). That way the market ensures transparency itself (by providing information in the bidding process), and they don't have too long to reap enormous profits if the situation changes drastically. And you've cut out a major part of the regulator.
