Oh, you don't have the kdawson->English plugin installed, do you?

You do!

* That the evidence shows that the risk of having a crash is increased both for vehicles traveling slower than the average speed, and for those traveling above the average speed. [Of traffic, not posted speed limit.]
* That the risk of being injured increases exponentially with speeds much faster than the median speed. [Same.]
* That the severity of a crash depends on the vehicle speed change at impact. [Yeah, thanks Captain Physics. Never would have guessed that one.]
* That there is limited evidence that suggests that lower speed limits result in lower speeds on a system wide basis.
* That most crashes related to speed involve speed too fast for the conditions.

Anything else?

Having worked for the police in multiple cities, and for the government in many more, I can safely say that you'll never get a ticket for going 55 in a 50 zone. Yeah, I know there are exceptions, but just don't use that as an argument. It's silly and wrong.

Having said that, I agree with everything else you wrote. Some of the speed limits around here are insanely slow. Cars are different now - they can handle it. It's just the people I worry about. Everybody thinks they're a better driver than everyone else, but none of them are really as good as I am.

They've given me just under a thousand bucks over the last year and a bit, including buying a Wii and an N900 (20% off each). It was easy to use, I didn't have any problems, and it's a shame they won't send me money to complete my shopping trips anymore, after I found what I needed with Google.

Pretty much my favourite detection system.

Dating myself a little here (although this is /., we all date ourselves amirite?), but when I was younger, the Amiga was in my room. For good, most of the time, but occasionally I'd wake up at 3 am and find one or both of my parents hunched over the keyboard, clicking away in the darkness, waiting for that goddamn green one to show up before the stack got too high. They had a pretty serious addiction.

Poor robot.

RTFA.

Shine a price scanner in her face! That's the cure.

Then she'll be horny *and* talk dirty all the time. :-D

And give her ebola and plantar fasciitis? Are you out of your mind?

Trying to build a monopoly! They want to have a stranglehold on the... oh. Tom. Damn.

Gimme your /etc/shadow too. What's the problem? It's encrypted.

This is where you put your money where your mouth is, Google. You always want chances to prove your little slogan. Here's a great opportunity to change some people's minds who think you've grown into Everycorp.
