Probably 'fixed' like the same glitch in the Matrix that let the cat out of the bag about the brace position being designed by the airline companies to produce the best-looking corpses.

> brake hard

There's your problem. Take your foot off the gas and wait. Once there's a two second gap, you can put it back down again. Hard braking is something that should only happen in an emergency, unless you're driving for the exercise, ie, not commuting on a crowded road.

Also, sticking in the outside lane at 5 miles an hour under, you'll always have a gap in front of you.

Driving 50 miles at 55 instead of 50 will only save you six minutes anyway. Over 25 miles, it's only three minutes difference.

Sure, the signs are there now...

The only place where a warning was given in all of the eastern Indian ocean was on Maikhao Beach in Thailand, and that's only because one of the tourists there had been paying attention in school two weeks before. The whole of the Indian Ocean tsunami warning system only came into being as a result of the 2004 tsunami.

So really all they need is to have a Kerbal aboard to give it a flick with a fingernail to get it started.

Ah, the old "somebody getting the same as I am means I am losing something" gambit.

With hot grits poured down their pants!

Little sister wouldn't do that anyway, she's too busy out in the back yard, playing like this

To clarify: Scratches on a one hundred and fifty thousand dollar piano is what happens.

A lot longer than the laptop you spend $300 on from Walmart?

Actually, they better be, no they need to be prancing about on "Failure is okay" island as hard and frequently as they can. Crash it, burn it, boil it in glue. Because that way, they find out all the ways to STOP THAT FROM HAPPENING.

That way, when they do get out into rough, tough "Failure is not an option" land, they won't have to spend nearly as much on nasty expensive lobbyists and politicians to make their little faux pas go away.

I think, being geeks and not greeks, we should throw slightly smaller squares of plastic at him instead
