  4. Re:Democratic intersections? on Traffic Light Switcher Makes Critics See Red · · Score: 1

    This device already exists. It's called a Roundabout. They have them all over the place in england but not in the states. They work relly well. (Even when the power is off! ;) ). I honestly don't know why they arn't in use more in the states.

    Go to the EA site and read the reviews from the beta testers. Most are less than complementary.

  10. Re:metric calendar on Calendar: Code, Free Speech, Or Mathematics? · · Score: 1

    So do you suggest that we spin the Earth on it's axis slower to get 100 days per orbit of the sun or are we going to decrease our orbital path so we can have the same length day but a shorter (and hotter!) year? Until you decide I guess we'll stick with the 365.25 day orbit.

  11. Re:Odd place to start on The Code Book · · Score: 1

    He did, and the book goes as far back as that (and then some). Singh just uses the Trial of Mary Queen of Scots as a dramatic point in history where a life was at risk if a code could be broken (and it's a good hook to get you interested in the book). I also liked the chapter on the 'decryption' of the hyroglyphics and other lost languages.

  12. Re:The Code Book on Information On Cryptography And Effects On Society? · · Score: 1

    I have also read this book, If you want to add some social history to your report while still being able to give technical detail then I would also recommend it. It talks about such events as the trail of Mary Queen of Scots and the work done during WWII on enigma. I belive the author of this book is Simon Singh sorry I don't have an ISBN.

  13. FCC and local charges on 2nd lines. on Modem Tax - Urban Legend Come True? · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many 2nd lines are already in use simply because the home owner does not wish to tie up their own primary line when they use the internet? I also wonder how much money the local phone companies make from these lines.
    It must certainly be a lucrative area as bell south recently aired an advert showing this exact problem an encouraging thier users to get a second line.
    I have just reviewd my phone bill and see that I am paying an FCC charge for not having a long distance provider and an FCC charge for Network Access for Additional Line this is dollars and not just a few cents.
    I hope the FCC take into consideration all the money they and the local phone companies make on 2nd lines.
