You might try reading my post, it really does help. I'm asking about why passengers shouldn't be able to use that phone. But, then again, I'm sure it was much more useful for you to call me stupid for failing to properly read the post...
There's no cop out, there's no reason why you can't fiddle with it at a stop light or better yet before you start driving. Nothing in my post suggested that you should be fiddling with it while driving. That and I specifically said listening to the radio.
You shouldn't be adjusting your mirrors when your in motion. That requires concentration and attention, both of which you're supposed to be paying to the task of driving. You cover your nose or mouth to prevent other people from getting your cold, I think it's safe to say that the greater risk in that situation would be losing control of the vehicle.
As for the transmission, manual transmissions are going to be a thing of the past in the near future. Electric cars don't need a transmission and ultimately the time you have your hand away from the wheel you're still engaged in the task of driving as opposed to those other things.
Cell phones don't cause the accidents, they will however contribute to the accident. I'm not sure why it's OK to bar drivers from driving drunk, but driving distracted is perfectly OK. Ultimately, as long as drivers can maim and kill other people there's going to be justification for restricting what they can do while driving.
The real problem is that in the US we've been way too lenient.
What about the passengers, is there any particular reason why they shouldn't be able to use their cellphone? Or the driver for that matter. The risks related to cellphone use while operating a car are from operating them both simultaneously. Having one sitting on the seat or in a purse receiving texts and emails isn't a risk factor for causing an accident.
Texting while driving is something which shouldn't be legal. It's not a matter of morality, it's dangerous enough that it should be banned. Same goes for talking on the cellphone without a handset. Eating lunch and really anything else that's distracting and requires one to take a hand off the wheel.
Now, when it comes to talking with a handset, listening to the radio etc., there's room for debate. Personally I don't do any of those things because the last I heard they were significant risk factors for having an accident. Should those be banned, I really don't know.
The problem ultimately is that the laws regarding motor vehicles are lax and ultimately it's not just the driver that can get killed, it's the other drivers, passengers and pedestrians that are also at risk.
Freedom of speech isn't unlimited and ultimately it doesn't override noise ordinances. You can stand on a street corner and say whatever you like, but if you stand on a street corner with a bullhorn you could be cited for violating the local noise ordinances.
OK, then how do you explain the rather large numbers of companies that give back to BSD projects? This anti-BSD FUD that the Linux and GPL camp seem to need to spread got old many,many years ago.
Without a permissive license the internet would have been greatly delayed as MS and the others would have had to develop their own TCP/IP stack from scratch.
I kind of miss that sound, I wonder if there's a sound that could be made to play every time I open my browser that would give that feeling. Thanks to the high latency of the DSL around here, I already get a long pause.
There's no such requirement to have freedom of speech. The point of freedom of speech is that the government doesn't always know what speech should be allowed and as such doesn't regulate it except under specific circumstances.
This wouldn't typically be excluded as the information was apparently factually correct.
And precisely what were the options if he didn't consent? That's the crux, it might not be literally duress, but threatening sanctions if he didn't sign is hardly the same thing as signing an NDA to get a job.
Restraining orders are also supposed to bar harassment as well. I'm personally troubled by this order as it tramples all over his 1st amendment rights and if this isn't over turned it represents a serious threat to freedom.
What memory leak? I remember a while back hearing about one that affected pages with a huge number of images, and they were going to fix that one. But most of the memory leak reports aren't Firefox and for most people Firefox uses less memory that the competition does.
I've used Fx since it was an alpha release and apart from the horrendous memory leaks of the 2.x days, there really haven't been too many problems caused by memory leaks.
If you've found a memory leak, then perhaps you ought to provide them with the appropriate documentation rather than complaining about how there's a memory leak that nobody cares about. They can't fix it if they can't reproduce it, and given the small number of affected installs, I have to wonder about it.
Because it's not always posted by the person to whom it applies. Personally I don't care about what other people post about themselves. I do however care very much about the things that they post about me. That and the crackers that trojaned TD Ameritrade and released my contact information to the net at large.
That's where they're trying to get the water to. Most of the areas where they're trying to get more water are pretty much as downwind as possible. I think the wind patterns there are generally west to east there, although I could be wrong.
Ultimately, the water gets into the ocean eventually, it's mostly a question of whether it's via run off or rain.
Depends on the weather patterns. If somebody did that on the west coast of the US, that would cause all sorts of problems for people down wind. But, if they did it just upwind of the east coast it would have negligible effect.
I'm not sure precisely how the wind patterns are in that part of the world, but I have a feeling that the impact will be relatively minor. I'm not sure that rain falling on the ocean is really that much different then rivers flowing into the river. Apart from differing types of pollution.
Short term memory is based on neurophysiology of the brain. That's not going to change that much over just a couple decades. Now, the amount of stress that we feel as a result of constantly paging between things would elicit that sort of response. And it's been studied, not conclusively yet, but multitasking is bad.
That really shouldn't have been modded funny as it's spot on.
Communication like pretty much everything else takes practice to get good and stay good at. If a person is left completely alone for months or years that person is probably going to have severe communication problems even without any abuse. Now, take somebody that practices effective communication day in and day out over a prolonged period of time. They will get better at it and the brain will get somewhat used to it.
Cultural isn't the word for it. Calling it cultural gives it way too much credence. Women crowding out men almost entirely in teaching is the direct result of social engineering to save money on salaries. Men used to be the only teachers out there, at least in the US, until about the time of the founding of the public education system. At which time it was found to be too expensive to employ men. Women were willing to accept a much lower rate of pay in large part due to the limited options available for work outside the home.
Medicine shouldn't be much of a shocker as women in the US greatly outnumber men in most institutions of higher learning receiving fully 2/3 of all college degrees every year.
I have absolutely no idea about civil service except that it's probably related to the poor rate of pay and the history of men being unable to afford to take jobs like that and support a family.
Shrink wrap legal agreements aren't enforceable and it's a shocker that the judge didn't know that. You can't have a legal agreement without a meeting of the minds and the ability to back out. Unfortunately, shrink wrap licenses don't permit for review as one typically has limited ability to return the product, and in many cases no ability.
As opposed to 2000 and 2004 when President Bush was "elected" before the ballots were completely counted. Or 2005 when the Georgia Governor's race was given to the GOP candidate after a set of mysterious patches were applied by Diebold to voting machines in Democrat leaning districts.
The difference is that the GOP has a much more illustrious history of whoring itself out to special interests. I take it you've forgotten about the Jack Abramoff affair.

That would be a step in the right direction.It's been ages since I've gotten a new line, but I seem to remember having to opt out of being listed.

Just as long as they leave our precious bodily fluids alone, I say what's the harm?

And yet, Aussies, Kiwis and West Virginians seem to have no trouble with it. I guess not all sheep are equally prudish.

I don't know, last time I loaded up IE, I got the irresistible urge to watch Fox News.
