Have something like the old railroad signal flares. If you can read this, you're too close.

Also if you launch these particles off at FTL speeds they're going to hit something. We'd need something to stop it, maybe a giant wall or something. As a nice bonus it would also freak out first time travelers a bit too.

This is already available in Mercs and most high end cars. You can buy one today that can "control the phone, audio and navigation by saying city names and your phonebook contacts normally" Does this add anything beyond apps? Does anyone care about anything beyond making calls, adjusting the nav, and the stereo?

Bad is also quite subjective. As the same mechanics their definition, and you'll get different answers again.

As an example, as reliable, well built and featured as some cars are, I would consider them bad if they weren't spirited and fun to drive.

Comment FUD. (Score 0, Troll) 188

This is overrating to call this SOPA-style. They were temporarily closed because it was being used to phish information from customers of several different banks.
This is more analogous to the police closing a business after a robbery to preserve evidence. They'll be back up soon enough, and are actually still operating under an alternate domain.

Maybe things have changed for the worse since I last dealt with them (about 3-4 years ago).

My rationale is the cost of better service has to come from somewhere, and you know they're not going to lower their margins for it. So either prices go up across the board, or you pay for it. I'd be willing to pay, but Joe Everyman, probably not so much.

Yes the mother may be in the wrong here. There really isn't enough detail to make a real judgment. However, the point that concerns me is how the doctors were not willing to discuss it. Is it because she only said "I don't want vaccines" without a reason, or is there more to it?

Generally I would agree, but it depends on where is the line drawn? I have never gotten a flu shot. Is that enough to turn me away?

The other concerning part is only in TFA though about a child who had a preexisting condition that was exacerbated by vaccines, and was still refused by several doctors without even discussing the issue.
