You see, the problem is that there is a critical mass of individuals with graduate degrees in various social sciences. This causes them to think that by virtue of such educational achievement such gives them the right to order the lives of people who have not achieved such education (a.k.a 'the rest of us'). It's the closest thing to having a nobility class in a republic. These are the sorts of people who believe that money is 'more at home in the hands of government' than in the hands of regular folks. These are the sorts that believe that morality is being on the 'right side' of public policy issues than any sense of ethics whether derived from revelation and/or reason. There is a large segment of humanity that is dominated with the idea of an enlightened and educated overclass, but the last time I remember, I do not live in that part of the world and the Pacific Ocean should serve to remind US (pun intended) of the difference.

The image that is evoked in the minds of many is the petite female college stOOdent who drives the parent financed Prius with all sorts of obnoxious bumper stickers encrusted thereupon, who thinks that she is a citizen of the planet Earth, who eats the tofu-burgers, who demands that every animal be preserved yet demands that every fetus must be aborted, who is a fixture at every protest march and demonstration and who 'services' (think 'reciprocating vacuum pump sounds') the professors to maintain her grades.

I drive a real vehicle (Ford E250) with some intense illumination. When I get stuck behind one of these voltswagens, I simply flick on the RetinaRoasters(TM) and sure enough these let me pass. From time to time, I get calls from the National Reconnaisance Office complaining about 'false nuclear detonation alarms' (just kiddi|$~!#
NO CARRIER

This contest is nothing more than a fishing expedition to see those who are smart enough to break codes and brazen and stupid enough to have the testicular resources to demonstrate the same in public.

File under the heading "Let every flower bloom".

Do I have to mention that worn out clause 'driving is a privilege'? This allows the burden of proof to reverse. Until the Football Thugs whose ancestors taught me their language and traditions exhibit the 'fifty millimeter bronze rollers' and get their act together and fight to preserve liberties threatened and restore liberties lost, let them continue to get sloshed in the pubs and submit to the yoke of tyranny.

...and be detained indefinitely without charges in solitary confinement. We have an equivalent to that in the USA. It's called the Timothy McVeigh mask.

That is because one does not need a license to walk. However, assess license points for jaywalking and that will change.

I know that someone here will rip me a new one for suggesting more oppressive laws. We all know that [sig plagiarism] safety is the tyrant's tool; none dare oppose safety.

Why has that loophole not been patched? This is why laws are passed that compel the vehicle owner to identify the operator lest the owner be charged with the offense. This sort of thing is usually addressed in any jurisdiction's first enactment of vehicle and traffic laws (VTL).

Oregon, eh? Does this have anything to do with the right to assisted suicide?

I find this hard to believe that owners of such vehicles cannot be traced. That is why there is a chain of paperwork for vehicle title. This makes it impossible for a vehicle not to be owned (and thus liability be PEGGED on someone). In a nation state that is on the cutting edge of paternalism, the very idea of 'ownerless motor vehicles' is a scandal. Unidentifiable vehicles are impounded in every jurisdiction of which I know. Do police in the UK patrol the parking lots of public housing or not?

The type of power supply used in LED lighting is called a 'buck/boost' converter. It is a switching supply that merely PWM's the filtered line voltage down at high frequency (40~60KHz) to the operating voltage and current of the load The difference between this and a standard switching supply is that no isolated secondary circuit is required and thus the only 'large' components are the rectified line voltage filter caps, load filter caps, choke and heatsink mounted FETs or IGBT's. This also neatly eliminates the surge problem because the operating frequencies of said supply is high enough to keep the caps relatively small.

Blue Light hazard? No wonder my eyes hurt after shopping at K-Mart.

The answer must contain at least one expletive.

The white LEDS are doped to generate three distinct colors of light (R,G,B) whose combination yield a very cold blueshifted white light (>6500 K). If one seeks to use these for video, better check to see if the camera works well with such light.

The LED tail lights are PWM controlled and I see that flicker! Wonderful! Moving epilepsy triggers on the roads and now stationary ones as well!

EMP generators, anyone? How about Mooninite patterns?

Keep an eye on all of those disease-proofed humans. Wouldn't it be ironic that all of these died violent deaths in youth in all 'freak' accidents that could have never been foreseen even with all sorts of preventive measures. The parents chose the world's safest car just for protecting their GMO (genetically modified offspring), but it was no match for the liquid oxygen tanker truck with defective brakes that crossed their path, even though it was properly inspected and serviced. Enter lightning strikes on clear blue days, meteorite strikes and other events whose odds are greater than winning the PowerBall Lottery. Dare I say as if something greater than ourselves is PISSED at our attempts to subvert its sovereignty over humanity as expressed in terminal disease. So much as if to say that if not by disease then by VIOLENCE all must die before their time.

I would not be surprised in the least at the possibility that as people become closer to genetic perfection, they exhibit more and more psychopathic and genocidal behavior by reason of the idea that they KNOW that they were purposely engineered to be 'better than the rest of us'. Enter Nietzsche; exit humanity.
