" The car can be trusted to drive within its own limits.."
That is not the correct way to look at it, there are parts of London where it is hard enough to try and navigate lanes without having cars going at stupid speeds.
Just because the car can drive at 50mph doesn't mean it should, that would cause problems for non-computer controlled cars, bicycles, horses, pedestrians etc.
If the car is driving down a thin residential London road with a van parked and a gap behind the van, will it slow to 5mph so as to avoid running over anyone who might step out from behind the van? ( example road http://goo.gl/maps/wu4i6 ).
Well thank god for that, how could terrorists spread their message of hate and terror without Facebook's cooperation, thank you Facebook, from terrorists everywhere.
And that goes for the politicians and the news media too, thank you for scaring the shit out of people, rather than pointing out the low odds of being killed by terrorists, the terrorists would be nothing without you. You help to put the 'terror' in to terrorism.
If you knew the govt was killing Jewish people, coloured people, gays, unionists etc, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust#Non-Jewish ) you'd think hard about adding yourself to the list, most people don't wish to be martyrs.
I agree, and that's why I use ghostery, it blocks tracking and allows any ad's that don't track.... Which seems to be none of them, but that's their problem to sort out isn't it.
There is a description box which you could put serials in to, although I don't know if that can be changed at a later date, that would be a flaw if true.
The UK police have regular bike registering events where you can take your bike and register it for free, otherwise the service is commercial and costs money ( http://www.bikeregister.com/ ).
Wiggle.co.uk simply put the serial number on the new bike check list which came with the bike, so all the customer has do do is keep that list, Can't say if other bike merchants do the same.
No, it rewards blagging, it rewards *acting* honest, regardless of whether the person is actually being honest.
It also gives the police more scope than they should have, for example sometimes police will let people off for drink driving, because they get sweet-talked, that's not right and it isn't a fair system where the people best at persuasion and brown-nosing get let off.
is wrong. The police had other options, like shoot the tyres, shoot the engine, block the car, use spike strips, smash the windows, use bean bag guns, use taser, use pepper spray etc.
They say there was a child in the car, that child most likely just saw their mother being shot to death by police, do you really think this was the best option?
So, given the choice between disabling the car, boxing her in and arresting her or just shooting her, they shot her. How the fuck is that ok? That's called murder where I come from.
If this gets implemented, Slashdot will lose it's appeal, I'll lose interest and I'm not threatening to leave, I just won't like the site anymore and won't have any reason to visit.
If this goes ahead, it'll be the end of slashdot:-(
The commenting system is what makes slashdot what it is, without it as it currently is, there will be nothing here for us. We won't come here anymore.
"Only nine bald eagle collisions with turbine blades have been recorded nationally" Ever?
So, what is your point?
"Of 1,428 individuals from across the range necropsied by National Wildlife Health Center from 1963 to 1984, 329 (23%) eagles died from trauma, primarily impact with wires and vehicles; 309 (22%) died from gunshot; 158 (11%) died from poisoning; 130 (9%) died from electrocution; 68 (5%) died from trapping; 110 (8%) from emaciation; and 31 (2%) from disease; cause of death was undetermined in 293 (20%) of cases."

This just makes it too easy, too easy to turn off AdID or install a plugin which truly muddies the waters by giving back a random AdID every time it is requested.
It's much harder to turn cookies off because of all the functionality they provide. AdIDs on the other hand - no functionality for us.
God sounds rather weak to me if it can't tolerate someones presence and needs their subservience to be able to put up with them. Why would anyone want to follow such a complete arsehole? And if it's so powerful then why doesn't it deal with the devil?
And what kind of a stupid being expects to be believed in when it has shown no proof that it even exists, does it want only idiots as followers?
Seriously, how can you believe in a god when there is absolutely no proof that it exists.
And god is very poorly defined, how are you supposed to believe in something without definition?

Would you say this to pedestrians? Because cycling is safer than walking for experienced (few hundred miles) cyclists.

I wouldn't expect those morally corrupt idiots to actually award him the prize. It would restore some of their credibility if they did though.
