That sounds amazing, where do you live?
The closest we have are those sensors far enough ahead to change the light before you get there. But they're pretty rare, and only seem to be in rural areas surrounding large centres of population.
Far more frightening is when a traffic light goes out... it is supposed to become a four-way stop, but few people seem to know this - usually there are many people on the main road that fail to stop because, hey, they are on the main road!
Kinda. If you meant right out, ie no flashing lights or anything, then youre right. But if the signals are broken, but flashing, those with red flashing must stop, and those with amber flashing continue on.
This actually came up during my driving test. I came upon a broken light flashing red (power had just gone out), and the other way had flashing amber. The drivers coming the other way kept stopping, and expecting me to go. Although legally, I couldn't. After sitting there for a while my tester just got fed up and told me to go on ahead, swearing about peoples' incompentence.
I figured all these cruel slashdotters would add you to spam lists, so to try to offset the damage, I went through my spam folder and used some of the 'unsubscribe' links for you. Hopefully this will lessen your damage.
Yes. I'm in favor of the idea, but want something based on science instead of something that comes across as something designed to hamper some economies and boost others. Re-write it so it includes reductions for all. No increase. Reductions for all.
That sure sounds to me like it would hamper non-developed countries, while doing little to the US, etc. Why should the US get to have much higher per capita emissions just because they got polluting earlier in the game? That my friend is the hogwash.
Let me take a stab at some of these *A full screen iPod would have worse battery life, all things being equal, than an iPod with a smaller screen. I don't think apple is terribly concerned with battery life. Their players have never had amazing life, even compared to replacement batteries for the same players. I can double the life of my 3g by putting a new battery in. While this point is valid, there are larger capacity batteries around that they could easily switch to.
*A non-physical-clickwheel would be harder to use blindly, as in a pocket. Yes, but only the buttons actually click. Are we sure the buttons are part of this new screen thing, or is it only the wheel? Even if they are going to ditch the clicky buttons for touch sensitive ones, it worked on the 3g. Though I do think this is the most important point. Easy in-the-dark operation is a must.
*A non-physical-clickwheel would be an abandonment of the most iconic part of the brand. The brand is starting to get stale. Not very stale, just starting. I think they are trying to be smart enough to change it up before everyone notices.
*A "true video" iPod would involve compromises making it a less ideal music player. It depends what is meant by 'true video'. While it is basically true, look how happy people are watching videos on their tiny tiny ipods as is. Any improvement will be hailed as a 'true video ipod' by the masses, even if a handheld or other video player would be a much better solution.
I am here to help you. Say whatever is in your mind freely, our conversation will be kept in strictconfidence. Memory contents will be wiped off after you leave,
1. Get another e-mail address
2. Use it instead of the university one
3. When people mail you at the university account, point them to the address created in step 1
I'll leave out the profit joke, but you get the drift.
Personally I'm not sure where I stand on letting alumni keep their addies. It means people 10 years from now are going to be getting addresses like jrichards24242352@university.edu.

So I'm on a roadtrip and after a few hours the battery goes dead. You're suggesting I call up apple and get them to give me roadside assistance to recharge my battery? Wouldn't it be easier if I could just put in my spare that I charged up earlier?
Anyone who cares that much about music quality would never let their music touch a device like this. There is no way lossless would be of any help with the puny opamp output stage in this type of player.
Besides, I'm willing to bet you can't tell the difference anyway vs high rate ogg (unless you own some HD650s or something, but even then..)

That sounds amazing, where do you live?

No, their light was flashing amber. That means proceed with caution, but don't stop. They were stopping and waving at me to go.
Guys, guys. Too much useful land there. We only need one more great lake. Observe:

Cruel and unusual.
sounds like a form ready to be abused by spambots. I'd assume this is the reason you rarely see 'send me a copy' checkboxes.
Remember, though, that recycle isn't only about energy. It's alsto about saving materials.
Yes the zealots are annoying, but please don't be so damned ignorant.
Not all of us are like that, just the noisy half.
wow.. it worked.
the only tag showing for me is !itsatrap.

I don't think that type of virus fits through these tubes.
If only it did...
Ah ah ah ah! <---- Sarcastic laughter

I don't think you'll ever get your packages delivered if that's all the accuracy you've got to offer.

depends how much they get now. At my school we get 20 megs. 20 MEGS! WTF? +5 insightful please. :) (interesting would do)
Probably a lot of people. But, what's wrong with that? It's natural for people to think of how an event will affect them.

that's good!
I certainly don't expect 8.

Lossless?!
