also, it has options for choosing either the shortest path, or the quickest path to Country Kitchen Buffet. and also an alarm clock to wake you up if, say, you fell asleep behind the wheel and Country Kitchen Buffet is about to open.
a drink when you win? sissy stuff. when i played, you drank when you _died_. or got thrown. and you couldn't start playing again until you drank, so you had to do it quick in the few seconds that your character was still invulnerable.
good times
what i was attempting to say is that it's not always a race to the red, sometimes it's a race to the green that becomes red. i agree with you that some folk race ahead to the already-red light simply to be first, and in most situations this is retarded and unnecessary.
however, for the folks that did make it through the now-red traffic light before it became red, it was well worth going around the more conservative (ie slower) driver to make that green.
and where i live (chicago), _not_ driving like this guarantees an extra 20-30 minutes on your hour commute. and god help you if you're trying to get around on any major city streets when the freeways are backed up, it spills out onto city roads and creates all sorts of ass-hattery.
i am not knocking cohesive, cooperative driving. in fact, i try to practice it as often as possible, allowing people in ahead of me, not braking unless absolutely necessary, etc. however, to get anywhere in chicago you must drive like (at least) a slight asshole, or schedule yourself a good one- to three-hour buffer in the period which your drive will take place. it sucks.
..except it isn't just to 'sit there'. for instance, the route i take to work every day is either a 35-minute drive or a 90-minute drive. the difference? if i'm able to get enough momentum going to hit green lights. people don't race to the red, they race _from_ the green in hopes of getting going enough to make the lights ahead. it took me a long time to understand this; i used to chuckle at the retards that raced ahead just to stop at the next red light, until i realized that i was sitting at _every_ (red) light simply because i wasn't moving fast enough.
sometimes the light changes on the way to the green and you end up sitting at a red, and sometimes you make the green (and consequently a few more greens in a row) and look back as the jackass that was trying to guess when it was going to turn green (and as such creating a bottleneck on the road) sitting at the now-red stoplight.
and yeah, it does work the other way too: sometimes when you're sitting at the red you just came up on quickly, the guy that was trying to time his approach manages to blow by you with his momentum. however, the cases where making greens decrease your travel time far outnumber the cases where trying to time/coast your approach gain you an advantage.
Right? You think they would wise up and use this to their advantage. Benignly tracking what music is most pirated, and then producing more of what the public wants. No more having to pay radio stations to play crap, no more having to shove garbage down people's throats. Perhaps people would even be more inclined to _pay_ for their music.
wouldn't the next logical step be a worm that downloads a whole bunch of warez and porn for you? not only that, but GOOD warez & pron?
i'll infect my machines straightaway.
