'It's only a matter of time before regulators catch wind of just how many times we're being charged for the exact same thing.'" They do know this. they do not care. The regulators are in the pockets of those they regulate. Look at any regulated industry. Most of the time they support being regulated because they use those regulations for their own benefit. Oil, gas, Finance, banks, autos, pharma, etc. Even if an industry fights against initial regulation, they support it afterward, when then end up controlling it. They use the regulations to justify anti-consumer actions and to drive UP the cost of entry to keep competition down. Or even to eliminate competition if they can slip in a regulation that damages competitors. That is why lobbying is such a big business. the lobbyists win no matter what happens with regulations. They get paid to fight against or for any regulation that comes up. They are worse than lawyers.

"No end in sight for the politicizing of the science and research surrounding climate change." Duh. Since the funding for it comes from government it is politicized from the start. What the OP is saying is that only disagreement or challenge to one viewpoint is politcs, the other side is pristine pure selfless logic. Crap. It's ALL politics. Why else do progressives attack anything that questions AGW? True science accepts challenges either as corrections to a theory or as test of validity.

7 projects, 2 of which are corporate mandates with no additional funding or 'resources' to do them, 4 other administrative tasks, plus an hour or so each day dedicated to HR-related corporate marionette-ing to satisfy the Political Correctness Police. All for 2 shell scripts and a mainframe extract. That took 3 months to get done. And this isn't even a government job.

Only when done correctly

So you are saying they are Democrats?

Too bad. I was hoping there might be an equivalent to C or even perl or Java that could be used. While I develop on mainframes and *nix, I know absolutely nothing about mobile platforms. Obviously.

Why all the love for a single platform? Is it so hard to write an app that will run on multiple platforms? Rim, WinMobile,, Symbian, Android/Linux.... Why all the hate for other platforms? Most outsell the iPhone

Or did they retire that category?

OK just downloaded and it seems to include the navigation. Started it up and it accurately showed where I was, and after entering my work address it showed the most direct route there. Too bad the Nokia site is so confusing. Themain page says only certain phones are compatible, but when you download the app for your phone, it does NOT say it is the one with free satnav. Now I just need to verify that this IS satnav and not something else. But that is for tomorrow, I need sleep. Hey Nokia: Redesign your site. It is a mess of poorly designed pages, and confusing if not missing information.

Replying to myself, while I can update to v3.0 from the v2.0 the E75 came with, I do not think it is the free nav version. The OVI store is not well laid out. However the new map data required is claiming a 127 minute download over wireless. Hope work doesn't call with a crashed DB. Sigh. US gets screwed in phones and cars due to stupid regulations.

That is the EU site. I am in the US, and no mentioned there. I believe the OS versions are different.

Just checked and they do not offer it for the E75, one of their pricier, GPS enabled phones. Man, do I feel like an idiot for buying one now.

In the U.S., and I suspect Canada, cars are the instrument of death more often than guns are. Count then by gross total or per-capita population or per-capita car-owner/gun-owner, cars are more dangerous.

I know people that have been killed or injured by drivers distracted by lighting cigarettes, changing the radio or reaching for something that fell on the floor, like a CD or cassette. It is no different than if someone carelessly shoots a gun off without aiming or caring where it is pointing. Only luck prevents something bad happening.
I have been injured while biking by idiots not paying attention while driving, had my car hit by other drivers changing the radio.

So no, this law does not go too far, in fact it does not go far enough. It should mandate that anyone found driving while distracted be charged with reckless endangerment of human life.

Any driver involved in an accident while their car was moving should immediately have their license suspended and car impounded until cause can be determined. If they are at fault charged and if convicted of a simple infraction their license revoked. If injury or worse is caused they should be jailed. They are a danger to others.

Everyone has a right to travel. No one has the right to endanger others. Those that do endanger others need to be held accountable for their actions, no matter how they do so: Car, knife, gun, chemical spill, whatever.
