I don't think it's unreasonable to expect cyclists to have adequate lighting on their bikes at night. It's very rare that an entire journey would have street lighting at any time of night.

Then again, I live in a village with green fields on all sides. It gets lovely and mostly dark around here.

Maybe you should slow down if you can't see properly.

http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/1000... isn't enough light for you? Mount two of them, you'll put out as much light as a car.

None of which justifies their light illuminating your property, and particularly your windows.

It's not a major issue for me and I already have nice thick lined curtains, but the council are obliged to act on your behalf if light pollution is causing you an issue.

You can also choose not to ask them.

'Disable' apparently means 'keep sending shit' unless you're on Enterprise edition.

Depends how frequent an extreme it is.

Live somewhere with a monsoon season and it's probably both extreme and the norm.

You can ask your council to step in and take action against a neighbour that is causing unnecessary light pollution.

Just as the council can baffle their lights, so can your neighbour.

They do, here. Lights go off at midnight, GMT. They don't recognise daylight savings, so you get an extra hour of light in the summer.

Only if you go with the trendy flashing LED "look, I'm here and I'm trendy and important" bullshit lights favoured these days.

I was cycling down dark country roads with more than adequate visibility using proper bike lights over 20 years ago, don't pretend you can't get a decent light these days.

If you knew anything about us, you'd know we eat faggots.

In my village approximately none are dimmed and (guessing) around 80% are shut off.

It's lovely.

But separate them out and you have self-commenting easily maintainable and more easily debugged code.

Using the ternary operator is laziness, not advanced programming.

Worse, he's now started posting bullshit trying to pretend he's being downmodded by people supporting adblock.

Not only is he stupid enough to spam slashdot, he's stupid enough not to realise that spam gets modded down.

It really has made this whole article a fucking waste of time from a comments front. Slashdot editors really need to blacklist his IP - maybe using their hosts file.

I don't need to prove him wrong. His constant spamming shows that he lacks morals, business ethics or consideration for other people, and that means his software is getting nowhere fucking near my PC.

He's a twat and his spam is obnoxious, irritating and (due to the point above) totally irrelevant. I can't and don't trust him or his software.

It's easy, just shift a couple to your mouth while you type.

You should practice, it'd be educational for you.

No. I own several dictionaries and none of them explain why you're using a term intended to belittle others and discount their opinions.

You don't appear to be able to either. You truly are a cunt.
