    To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice. It's time that we all came together, Democrats and Republicans alike.

    If you support the policies and character of John Kerry, please drive with your headlights 'ON' during the day.

    If you support George W. Bush, please drive with your headlights 'OFF' at night.

  4. Re:If they're anything like Canadian "Sony Store"s on Sony Quietly Opening Retail Stores · · Score: 1

    s/Canadian/Australian

    In Adelaide we have had a sony store for about 3 years, and it is the most expensive of the 3 sony stores I looked at to get a Sony T1 camera, about 1 month ago. The other camera store was second cheapest, but we have this other non-sony sony store, only sells sony gear, and was $150 cheaper than the sony store($1000 to $850).

    The most annoying thing is that it is stores by morons, who know nothing about anything in particular... didn't even know that there was a difference in the type of memory storage sold in their stores (memory stick, memory stick duo, memory stick duo pro). The most knowledable was the non-sony sony store, run by a couple of guts who have been around for ages.

  5. Re:OMG I'm turning my kids into gambling adicts! on Neopets Gambling Controversy · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but do you play them for their pocket money? I think there is a slight difference. The problem with this form of gambling, is that there is some reward given, so people begin to associate playing these games with being rewarded. A simple pavlovian response. If you can't see this as being dangerous, then you are being a little naive.

  6. Re:See a pattern? on Disenfranchised In Nevada · · Score: 1

    I really don't think that Disney are going to be that upset. They probably consider the goodwill they will receive from the GOP to be worth a lot more than they would have gotten from this money. I can't see anyone at Disney hurting that much.

    Of course, that is pretty sad, but it is indicative of how important poilitics is in the real world.

  7. Re:Old system on New Fee For Internet-Capable PCs In Germany · · Score: 1

    The problem with this system is that the policians control the tax flow to the public television station. And if it is anything like in Australia, they will give it less and less money, slowly taking away a fantastic utility.

    Good Luck, John

  8. Re:Easiest, most elegant solution? on Smart Cars Tell You About Road Signs · · Score: 1

    Yes, of course. It would be easier to go to every single road sign in the US and add an RFID to it. This would be much easier that simply adding THREE whole cameras to only the cars that are interested in this system.

  10. Re:Voters don't think on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    I am not sure you can blame the political system. It seems to me that you should place your blame with the Media, for they choose what to focus on. And they are really in a race against each other for ratings, so maybe you can blame the people who watch the majority of the media, and are so easily swayed towards sensationalist stories.

  11. Re:Most important feature.. on Samsung Introduces Phone With Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    OK I can beat that. I have an Ericsson T310, the second day I had it I dropped it, kicked it around the floor, and someone slid on it. I have dropped it while riding in the city onto the road, and it has survived. I have dropped it onto the concrete several times. And two weeks ago I was doing some downhill, went over the handle bars, and landed on it in my pocket. The outer screen is cracked, but it works fine, as good as the day i got it. It looks a mess, some buttons are scuffed of, but works great, over a year and a half of abuse.

    I would love this technology. Get the shit drivers of the road, who are causing trouble for everyone and most likely accidents. Sure, if you accelerate past the speed limit every now and again that is not a problem, but people who drive like maniacs have no right on the road.

    Anyway, I can't see how they are going to get you for speed infringements, unless it logs GPS data as well.

    OK, difficult to top, but I work as a bike courier in the city of Adelaide, a city which has a population of 1 million, and until recently three big car maunfacturers stations here. It is a city deisgned for cars, so every SOB on the road is a arrogant prick. I was abused fo being on the road twice yesterday, before even getting in to work. My office stinks, is full of rude bastards, I come close to being run over severl times a day, get spat on for riding on the walkway, ride around in 40 degree celsius heat, or when it is hailing, all for around $90AUS a day, ($64US).

    I used to believe the same as you, but after coming of one time too many, I will always wear a helmet. The very last time I didn't wear a helment was when i was hit by a pizza delivery car, and smacked my head into the road, completely totalled a mates bike. I survived, but it could have been a lot worse. Ever since then, I have worn a helmet, and I have been hit by 8 cars in total, lucky enough to survive all of them. Even if there is a small improvment in safety, I will wear a helmet. There are too many crazy people on the road, and I reall think everyone should be wearing a helmet.
