You already have failing towns that are massive speed traps because the revenue stays within the town, and you'd like to ... increase that effect?

The trouble with the 85th percentile rule is that it works against people that want the speed limits higher, even if they're in the greater percentage.

i.e. traditionally the unlimited speed was assessed on a road, and the limit set at or below the speed that 85% of people were travelling. Now, the enforcement here is so strict that people are generally doing 5 under the posted speed limit, so they're dropping the speed limits all over the place!

The problem you have with your system is that the fines are retained by the police, they should go into state revenue without earmarks.

That said, they're still really enthusiastic to fine speeders here; they still get to swagger and chide you like a naughty child after breaking more laws than the person they're "in pursuit" of, that hasn't actually fled.

Exactly so, but would you think it's acceptable to write a contract in "redneck"? The introduction to the article implies that small groups, "youfs" for example, write correctly because they write as their contemporaries write, it's not comparable to entire countries.

Admittedly, the body of the article is a long way from the opening paragraph and I suspect a (sub?)editor is at fault. The body is about obscure grammar rules most people don't know, and elements of style which even Oxford and Cambridge can't agree on.

ah doesn't reckon yer thesis is necessarily co'reck, an' thet th' article is cornfusin' dialeck wif language.

I don't fink yor thesis is necessarily correct, right, and that the article is confusin' dialect wiv 'am sandwich.

Or maybe you reckon the above is "English"?

I think you can blame the people that over-egg the pudding by putting multiple full-screen ad breaks in videos and generally making the experience so bad people seek a technological fix to their perceived problem with those videos and yours are collateral damage.

Naturally, most of the really bad videos are things like BBC shows that people have no moral right to watch or monetise.. but I'm sure both can give you lots of reasons why they're not hurting anyone.

Seen this twice now, and have to ask, "umm so?"

Are their primes worse than $1000 primes? Or do you have some proof that their backend is insecure?

I'd post as anon too if I was recommending Jira to "non-techies".

Good?

The baby boomers are going to be sitting on an ocean of "urealised wealth" while insisting they're paid pensions and medical costs so they can eventually divest their property onto the next generation which will be at about the same time of life by the time they die... WHY do retirees need to live near work?

^ this. Exactly my experience, twice in the last few years. How are they going to sell books of photos if they allow everyone to take their own?

Yeah no, there's a straightforward schedule of reasonable costs: http://www.federalcircuitcourt...

If you *really* love your legal team and want to spend $5 million on your defense against an individual, I think you're probably going to be $5 million out of pocket (rounding up).

Hahahahaha, good one.

So the edge case is losing information about the mugging? Which for most people would be none at all.

This is related to fitness monitoring and privacy/insurance/big brother concerns... how?

I'll miss you most of all, scarecrow.

I assume you're very keen on some kind of edge case where you are unable to get to your home in time to offload your extensive GPS/fitness records, so you need to upload them to a cloud service (which really, could be under your control fairly easily if it wasn't /forced/ to be under theirs) via a mobile phone uplink, because the loss of those records would be .. catastrophic if you were mugged in deepest Africa and unable to sync to your desktop, but somehow still had good mobile phone coverage.

Is that right?
