Maintaining a constant distance between yourself and the car in front means you are driving the same speed as the car in front, irrespective of the distance from that car. That distance might be two microseconds of travel time, or it could be two seconds.
Being two seconds behind the car in front does not mean you are going slower than another person who is two milliseconds behind the car in front.
Idiots like you are the reason why autonomous cars will be a boon on the road.
How can this be modded insightful. 100 countries have adopted 0.05 due to the carnage caused by drunk drivers.
On second thought, this is the country that thinks so little of mass shootings in schools that they refuse to regulate the access to firearms. Deaths on the road due to drunk drivers is nothing when compared to that.
Rights come from the government and the legal system. They do not exist outside of a legal or government framework. Saying that you possess rights independently from your government is an idiotic statement.
Yeah, those Japanese and their Sarin gas attacks, they just have so many of them. Probably had six or seven last year, like the mass shootings in the USA.
Idiot.
Admit it, guns give you a stiffy. That is the beginning and the end of it.
Google maps was vector based on Android for well over a year before the iphone5 came out.
I would be interested to know why google never made it vector based on iOS. Maybe they had been burned too many times by Apple refusing to pay for stuff.
I work with someone who truly believes everything Apple does is flawless. He pre-orders all ohessex releases and installs them on his machine immediately - then spends the next week fixing everything that was broken. He does this every single time, and has for every release of ohessex. It never occurs to him to wait a few months and install something not still-born.
He would call us Linux users idiots for saying multiple desktops were useful - who would ever want such a stupid feature. Then Steve Jobs invented multiple desktops and they were the most amazing invention ever. They changed everything. Again! After a few years I learned to never discuss computers with this twit.
He refused to own a mobile phone. His relatives (wife, sister, brothers) would ring the office looking for him and we had to act as his secretary. Suddenly Apple invented the mobile phone and he immediately went out and bought one. He has now owned three of them so far as I can tell. This guy is seriously into the Apple cult.
At every single iteration he would proclaim that Apple had perfected the interface. Nothing other than exactly what he was using could be useful, because if it were useful, Apple would have done it. Never mind that the next release of ohessex would mean Apple had improved on perfect - and they would do it by a timetable.
While what you are saying is probably true, by google banding it a nexus device they are saying that android development will target that device. That is a pretty big deal.
Just get on your bike on the weekends and go for rides. Slowly build up the number of km/miles and do not rush it.
When I started riding my bike my first ride was about 8km (5 miles), and I was wasted at the end of the ride. Over a period of a few months, riding on weekends and early some mornings, I built it up slowly to 30km (~20 miles) rides. It was then that I started to consider riding to work. Work at that time was 20km away.
It did not occur to me at the time, but I could have ridden to work and then caught public transport home one day. Then on the following day caught public transport to work and ridden home. That would have had me riding to work after a few months. It took me a few more months before I was riding to work and home a couple of days a week. By the end of the year I was riding to/from work every day - a total of 200km a week.
Last year I was working further away from home, and my commuting had me riding 320km a week. That was a bit extreme, and thankfully this year I am back down to a bit over 20km each way.
Everyone has to start somewhere, and I was extremely fat and unfit when I started. It seems to take forever to get started, but that is a distant memory now. The sooner you get started, the sooner you will look back and wonder why you did not do it earlier.
I disagree. I read The Hobbit about 30 years ago and remembered it as a small book that did not take long to read.
Recently I picked the book up to read it again before the movie and was surprised at how much actually happens in the book. I have no problem believing that there are three movies worth of material in the book.
So according to your logic we can disprove the theory of gravity (or any other scientific theory) just by finding someone obnoxious to claim it is true.
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Before upgrading my machine with a K6-2/300 in an EPOX/MVP3C mainboard, I tried some Intel chips in another series of mainboards. I had nothing but trouble with the Intel junk.
This K6-2/300 has never frozen, never failed to boot, never failed to detect devices, and so on. The AMD K6-2 is the best CPU I have ever had.
A friend of mine spent quite a bit of time getting a mirror script that grabs an i386 slink/potato Debian distribution minus some of the "unnecessary" stuff. If you have provided your email address, I could have sent it to you.

Human civilization is doomed if this site is representative of "intelligent" humans.
You can prise the steering wheel out of my cold dead hands.
So if you are correct, which I can't be arsed checking, your logic goes like this:
Some scientists were wrong once, therefore they can never be right again.
You are a genius.
Where did he pass away to?

I ride my bike to work every day - clocking up 220km / week.
Last year I was a bit lazy about riding on the weekends so my average week dropped from over 300 km to 200 km. This year I am trying to reverse that.
So by your excellent logic, the blackberry OS and windows phone 7/8 must be way better than iOS because almost no one uses it.
So you only vote on comments to gain a benefit for yourself, not to actually inform other people about your opinion of the comment.
Seems like you have missed the point of the moderation system.

I am going to keep atheism as my *lack* of belief.
Atheism is a belief system in the same way that not collecting stamps is a hobby.
Having a low UID does not mean you have anything meaningful to say.
A case in point.
I used to use pine for a while, and I quite liked the program.
I now use GNUS which is very nicely packaged under Debian. The only thing that I think could be improved in GNUS is the funny MIME handling.
You never have to do 'dpkg -i' multiple times.
If you have tried to install a .deb and it complains about a missing dependency, all you have to do is installed the missing package, then do a
The original package has already been installed, it just has to be configured.
Well, I can counter that with my own experience.

Probably because lawyers get paid to provide legal opinions. Why would they do their job for free :-)
