Agreed and trapster and other apps do the same crowdsourced speed trap locating trick.

Trapster had better audio alerts but they don't work on my new phone so I use waze now.
It also flagged "likely" speed traps even when the police were not yet reported in the location.

Using the app to locate a speedtrap is about as productive as driving along the road and observing parked police cars then circling back around and attacking them now that you know where they are.

The police have a problem because they have been killing united states citizens at a rate of roughly 1200* citizens per year (via 528 validated trustworthy news source reported face page reports). More of those citizens killed by united states police were children than all the citizens killed by the police forces of england, france, and germany combined. It is literally (not figuratively) about 120* citizens vs under 20 citizens in england, france, and germany total per year.

Not to mention countless beatings, illegitimate property seizures, and a solid reputation of "good cops" standing aside doing nothing while the "bad" cops commit crimes.

*People who are police officers killed about 1450 citizens but 528.com found that about 200 of the killings were not related to their police status or police duties.

** I support the police and donate to the police fund but our police are out of control and have terrible community relations. We need to get them out of dealing with drug gangs and drug money and swat teams and military equipment. Move that activity to the FBI and return the police to ordinary police enforcement actions. Having a tank and heavy automatic weapons misleads them into killing 7 year old girls when they were at the wrong address.

Actually since 2007 They're a division of Northrop Grumman and responsible for the X47B. They have a free creative hand but let's say instead of advances in aviation of a civilian nature they're now in the military business. They still have contracts with Virgin Galactic so don't expect them to be completely out of the picture. Burt retired in 2011 so he's no longer involved with any of it.

Admittedly, Roswell barely qualifies as 1990s, because it began in 1999, but it was one of the better sci-fi shows I've seen. Among other things, it turned the genre on its head by being told from the perspective of aliens, in the present day, on Earth. It had a lot of things going against it, of course, with network politics being the big one, and season two strayed awfully far into X-Files territory, but it had good writing, good acting, and much like Stargate, it didn't take itself too seriously, somehow managing just the right blend of humor, romance, dramatic tension, etc. And in spite of the main characters being teenagers, it managed to almost entirely avoid the usual teen drama that you'd expect to clog up such a series.

My favorite funny moment had to be when Jonathan Frakes (playing himself) told one of the alien teenagers that he just didn't make a believable alien. And my favorite episode was the Christmas special; it was almost pure character development, did nothing to drive the plot, but it was a breathtaking tear-jerker that gave a lot of insight into the main characters' personalities.

If you haven't seen Roswell, it's worth a look.

Which is why the UI design should be more straightforward. Contextual order in UI is more troublesome and more difficult to learn, hence trying to avoid nesting menus beyond two layers. In the literal sense there's nothing quantum in a UI and when we're talking Windows, nothing transforming to come close to it. I can only hope that the folks who have brought Start Menu sanity to 8/8.1 produce something that we're used to at least however I could also assume that MSFT has gone out of their way to prevent it. So either I'll have a reasonable Start Menu or I won't but just starting at the screen figuring out where/what to click seems inevitable.

The M3 I drove last year begs to differ. As did the SLK the year before. :-)

Maybe they have problems, I don't know, I don't own a car, I just rent them pretty often, and I'll take one of those every day over almost any brand. At least until my car rental company gets Teslas.

The school that put its children on the fucking Autobahn, a high-speed road that is by law off-limits to pedestrians, bicycles and anything else that can't reach and maintain the minimum speed of 60 km/h.

Are are aware that VW is our low-end brand, yes?

BMW and Mercedes are the high-end brands, as is Porsche.

I'm glad to hear that as I'm sure everyone else is.

Now if you could give up trying to spy on all the other guys, we could become friends. You see, the problem is your "kill 'em all, let god sort 'em out" approach of just vacuuming everything in and leaving the decision about who the bad guys actually are until later.

Your heart is true, you're a pal and a cosmonaut.

For once, this troll is on topic. It demonstrates why voice recognition needs to improve. After all, it's hard to wreck a nice beach.

Correction: Even the China Mobile iPhone 6 and 6 Plus aren't truly carrier-neutral, because they don't support CDMA. So you can either have LTE support in China or you can have CDMA support in the U.S., but not both.

youtube at 240p works fine at 768/128 for me as does amazon prime. I don't have netflix but I
remember it working fine too. I can't watch HD and 320p requires me to buffer it first but is doable.
Hulu also works fine but amusingly enough I can't see any commercials as the commercials are
hardcoded at 320p or possibly something higher so it just jumps all around for me. Luckily it still only
lasts the same length of time so I only ever see half the commercials. So yes, video is completely
doable at 1M or slightly less if you go with the lower resolutions.

The iPhone 5 had LTE. And it was not carrier-neutral. Each came in multiple models, none of which supported all the LTE bands. AFAIK, even the current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are not fully carrier-neutral unless you buy the model designed for China Mobile.

We're back to the chicken/egg problem. Your average user doesn't upload much because they
have a crappy upload and it's even sometimes actively discouraged.
If the average user had a 25/25 connection then you would see alot more services catering to
things like online storage of photos, online backups, or even storing your entire desktop environment
online aka thin clients.

But do realize, that was an outlier and is atypical of what Apple does.

No, it isn't atypical, at least for early-generation Apple products. The average support period for Apple is about three years, and there are a fair number of products that got less than that (mostly early models). For example, here's the time between the release date and last supported update of some other first-generation and second-generation Apple iOS devices:

• Original Apple TV: 3 years, 1 month, and 1 day
• Original iPhone: 2 years, 7 months, and 4 days
• iPhone 3G: two years, four months, 11 days

The support period tends to vary based in part on how many of the devices are out there in active use, and in part on how badly underpowered the hardware was to begin with. So later products in a given line are likely to have longer support periods than earlier products.

So I won't get the "Big Ass Panties" effect then? I'm disappointed.
