I personally think it should be restricted to motorized vehicles. I do agree with the general negligence category, but having laws for bicycles is pointless since there's no test or requirement to own or operate one and children will be the most caught for this "crime".

I see that we inherently have different opinions on the matter and I doubt either one of us will change stand points at the end a discussion, but I appreciate your opinion.

Why does it imply that I would want bans in the rest of the places when I pick cars? Is this some kind of reverse psychology slippery slope?

I'd ban it in cars, and ONLY cars. And naturally only for the driver.

And surely it's already "banned" in classrooms? Unless you want to press criminal charges against children who happen to have a social life and *GASP* an inability to not pay attention every day in a classroom.

Watching back your life will literally take a lifetime worth of time to do. Not to mention how long it would take to edit it into something comprehensible.

Here's a suggestion: Live your life and look forward instead of focusing on how you can dwell harder. Spend more time doing things you love instead of remembering the things you used to love.

Actually my peers noticed it before I did. I work in Graphics and have had a long technical background where a lot of them come from art backgrounds. They were peering (no pun intended(...Ok, maybe partially)) over my shoulder and were amazed with how fast I was typing. That's when I started noticing how slow they were. Of course they're faster than me at certain other tasks.

Different backgrounds different skill-set.

I should totally steal their idea and start a tech company in the UK called Orange.

Oh, wait...

Exactly this. When I get asked if my bios is the latest version I usually just lie and say yes and then they end up providing me with the information/service I originally requested instead of badgering me about my bios being the potential culprit.

That is actually really interesting. In addition imagine the potential of having similar software on the google glasses or any other head mounted display giving you visual feedback on objects you may not be able to clearly see in real time.

Another laser, duh.

You think you feel silly? Imagine how the Mayans felt!

They kept updating it and changing things around in very small ways which seemed to break my add-ons and browsing methods on a regular basis. Like adding the awesomebar, taking it out, breaking the addon I had to replace it and probably putting it back in again by now...

  I know updates are generally considered a good thing, but Mozilla chased me away with theirs. I just wanted my browser and daily routine to work every time I started it up without having to worry about whether or not they updated it.

I've spent all my mod points, please down-vote parent to -1 to prove a pun.

I've changed cities 3 times in the same number of years, but London was my favorite so far.

I celebrate the Gregorian first, but I enjoy the Chinese New Year celebrations more and try to drop by the local Chinatown for the dragons.

Think of the children's [times 1500] children's children's children's children!

And yes, I tried to copy paste 1500 "children's", but apparently slashdot has some sort of "spam" protection... Who knew!

Serious question: Fair enough that they disrupted a lot of traffic, but did it get redirected anywhere positive?

Did sales go up? This is a pretty important question that they don't seem to be answering.
