Comment Too much traffic (Score 1) 304

I used to ride bikes all the time as a kid, but that was in rural Oregon...

The last time I tried bicycling was in urban India and it was just too frightening trying to negotiate traffic. I was with an Indian friend who was comfortable enough (beyond being on a bicycle instead of a motorcycle) but he'd zip through intersections and I'd be left behind, not ready to run a red light, unsure whether to go to the left or the right of an oxcart and afraid of hitting pedestrians...

Now I live in NYC and I'm often tempted to try bicycling, but I'm not comfortable with the traffic. It's so much busier than rural Oregon.

I'm sure I could expand this list quite a bit were I to put some effort into it. But you get the point.

Animated dinosaur cursors?

Don't knock animated dinosaur cursors... I used to work for a company in the 90's, PC-Kwik, that sold a package of cursors, including dinosaur ones. Granted, it wasn't our main product, just something for the sales people to upsell for a few dollars more once they had customers on the phone.
