At least Indiana finally adheres to DST in every county. Before that, it was really confusing!
Yeah, their time always stayed the same, so only Arizona could figure out what time it was in Indiana. This discussion should really be about the abysmal waste of money and effort that is DST. Pull the rest of the world back to sanity, AZ!
Neanderthals mixing with Homo Sapiens has nothing to do with marriage or religion. It likely happened 35,000 years before the Bible was written so it predates the whole marriage issue by tens of thousands of years.
So marriage only occurred after the Bible was written? Which part, the earliest part which was written by Moses during the 40 years in the desert? Even that described marriages thousands of years prior to Moses. Overt monogamy (with covert polygamy, or at least cheating) is a strong part of almost every ancient culture. Although, some cultures practiced overt polygamy, and some religions outright hedonism (the priestesses of some greek and roman dieties had sex with all comers).
There already is no 'right on red' in NYC, except for a handful of places.
I'm sure they could think up something even worse, like using them for pedestrian jaywalking fines or tracking arab americans.
Literally a handful.
While I thank you for the correction, I can't pass up a chance to focus on the use of "literally". I can imagine a literal handful of jellybeans, but a handful of intersections escapes my grasp (figuratively).
all expenses are covered by your part-time job. Which is very much impossible
Not impossible at all. If you have one or more roommates in a small apartment, a well-paying part time job that cuts off just under the hours that would make you full time (benefit eligible), and you take 9-12 credits a semester instead of 16-20. The best part is being debt free right out of the gate.
Nobody would even read that shit, anyway. Hell, the only time I even look at my local police report in the paper -- when I even BUY a paper -- is when I know work is going to be slow and I'm going to have a "stomach ache" for an hour around lunch time.
HR would whenever they hire someone. Normally traffic violations aren't something they can search for. "I'm sorry, we went with a safer candidate. We'll let you decide if it was your credit rating, your facebook profile, your traffic violations, or your mother's statements to the investigator".
Wouldn't the solution be for delivery firms to stop delivering until something is done about this? If even 10% of NYC crawls to a halt because nobody's delivering, wouldn't that create sufficient economic incentive to correct this issue?
Your solution would ruin the economy of those who require the deliveries, and the delivery people (if they could all agree to "strike"). The lawmakers wouldn't feel any pain until the citizens feel a lot of pain. The realistic situation though would be that rival delivery companies would start up that would be willing to pay the regular bribes^Wfines. Then nothing changes except the current delivery companies go out of business.
One other idea I had was to configure traffic lights to turn red for 5 minutes if someone is speeding in the road leading up to them, and a ticker at the intersection showing the number plate of the offender for all to see.
It's much more profitable to adjust the traffic light timings so that people have to travel 5-10 mph over the speed limit to get the green lights on a long stretch of road (and make the red lights last a long time). Then you have a steady stream of speeders to ticket.
The best recent breakthrough in getting people to stop speeding have been big signs that show you your speed. Now, just about in every school zone, I get a flashing light when I'm going over 20mph. No cop, no ticket, no privacy invasion. I get a personal message that I am breaking the law.
Yeah, I get a big personal message that I'm traveling at 17, no, 36, no, 60, no, 14, 20, 5?
If you are not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about. If your a dangerous driver then tough luck. It might diminish the number of injuries and deaths.
Do you really think *that* much effort is put into the system to prevent crashes? The reason is stated in the summary. It's about the money. And once there is a reduction in revenue from people driving more safely, the cameras will either be repurposed, or new laws will be put into place that can use the cameras to create more revenue. Laws like "no right turn on red" at every stoplight because it confuses the cameras, so now every time a camera takes a photo, it really is because of an infraction, and maybe any license plate in the photo gets the fine (unless you bother fighting it in court).
Steve Jobs is going to be patent trolling in heaven soon.
Members of the Sadducees approached RMS and asked him, "A man patents his design for a hammer but then dies, passing the patent on to his brother in his will. If the brother then dies, which of them owns the patent in heaven?" to which RMS replied, "In Heaven, patents are neither given nor retained." He then departed to a lonely place but the crowds followed him, and he fed them with crumbs from his beard. And the number fed was 4000.

That's a team building exercise we can all get behind.
When my grandfather was my age he didn't have an iPad. Therefore I'm a spoiled brat who expects everything to be handed to me on a silver platter.
If you didn't pay for that ipad with money you earned by being a soda jerk at the local druggist, maybe. 'course kids don't work for money until college these days, often after college.

Too bad. The last link was the potentially most interesting, but it's behind a login.

I search "Neanderthal sex" in the /. search and come up with 11 stories
Now try Google without the family filter. I bet you get more than eleven.
Code that was mostly unmaintained and didn't receive new feature support work in years.
Code that works doesn't need new features.
I hope they were in a state where wagering is legal. Otherwise, a public bet like that should be for token gifts and/or bragging rights.
Jigga, whaAt?
Jog in place on concrete, jog in place on a trampoline, and jog in place in some thick mud. There's a difference in the amount of work.
I've noticed a few people who aren't bringing their iPads to meetings any more. They're mostly just game machines.

Wouldn't it be great if the revenue from the cameras was used to create a new traffic system that creates better drivability in the city
Better drivability would reduce the revenue from the stoplight cameras. It would be great, but so would a pony.
