That's not true at all. My state has no such limitation, and explicitly authorizes an audible signal as an indication of passing.

As a bicyclist you should know from experience that motorists going around obstructions greatly increases the risk of hitting cyclists (not to mention pedestrians and other vehicles). A driver gets fed up sitting behind a stopped car and whips into the bike lane, right as you're passing by..

"People willing to add minor inconvenience to multiple people around them adds up over time."

QFT... and on a 4-lane highway, one asshole really can slow everyone down for miles by creating a traffic wave.

Are you the same guy that brought up Hop like 5 times on the other Blockbuster thread? Just buy the damn thing already.

Back when I still used them, Blockbuster definitely had a form of "all you can eat" for both movies and games. I don't remember the details though. Apparently they still had some plans up until the end: http://www.blockbuster.com/stores/membership

Must also consider that you could get actual comprehensive insurance rather than the junk minimum policy you have now.

Of course for most trips the time difference will be negligible. Going 10 mph faster for a 10 mile journey on arterial roads saves you a whole 145 seconds.

Useless analogy.

If Brazil spies on diplomats, to me that is a pretty clear reason to suspect that there might be additional surveillance taking place. It doesn't mean that it is taking place, but it doesn't pass the straight face test to say there is "no reason to suspect it".

The 'relevant access port' is typically the OBDII which is under the steering wheel. So you're back to needing direct access to the vehicle.

That is some Apple walled garden bullshit, nothing to do with automotive buses.

If someone is hacking around in the system, the warranty is void and the liability is on the one that does the hacking.

Legally no different than cutting off your cat.

The right to freedom can be removed and restored. The right to life cannot. Seems like a pretty good reason to me.

You could try to make the same argument about computers. But you would, and did, fail.

I remember, apparently you do not. Deem and pass was discussed, but was never actually used for the passage of PPACA. It's also not that unusual, has been used 30-50 times per Congress in the last 20 years.

Everything is made of chemicals.

Cocoa processed with alkali is known as dutch-processed cocoa and has been around for almost 200 years.

Cane sugar actually requires more refinement ("chemicals"), btw.

"The greasier the place the better it the sandwich."

Common mistake. Next you're going to tell us to go to Pat's or Geno's.
