Again, the camera wasn't the problem, the corrupt officials were. This is why independent audits are crucial. Video recording would also resolve this, as the records would show whether the yellow was operating correctly at the time of the recording.

That's no different than letting the police do the testing when you challenge their radar guns' accuracy. Have an independent review system. Then if someone challenges the RLC, you have documentation to back up the claim that the yellow timer is reasonable for that intersection.

So why not mandate a standard for yellow light length based on speed, so you eliminate the potential conflict of cities "tweaking" it to maximize fine returns. Instead we get the boneheaded idea that we should just ban the cameras, as if they were the problem...

And once you've done all that, and you still have people running the red? My city did all of the above, and now people run the red because they know the other side doesn't get the green right away, so it's "OK".

The "D" size parcel bins can hold a package up to 30cm/30cm/45cm. which can fit a standard sized document storage box. Some setups include a few "C" size, which can fit the "medium" FedEx/Purolator boxes, or the legal sized envelopes.

The newer community boxes have several larger boxes on the end for smaller parcels. The key for them is dropped in the smaller mailbox it's destined for. You drop the key in the return slot after you fetch your parcel. Most mail larger than a letter that I receive needs a signature anyway, so I'm always going to the local post office anyway.

It's someone who wants to walk the walk, but can't talk the talk.

Most scanners at airports and movie theatres I've gone to are all geared to read paper tickets, and require all sorts of intervention when you try to use the airline's app to display your e-boarding pass. e-paper would be a lot easier to read than LCD.

Apple didn't invent a lot of things. What they did was find a way to make existing things better in ways that made them mass marketable. Not the fastest, not the most feature rich, not the smallest, but enough of all three to make it appeal to a bigger slice of the market.

Now that Samsung has failed so miserably, Apple knows what worked and what didn't, and can better bring their design to market when it is ready.

IMHO Samsung failed to include the front-facing camera and the ability to play video. This is supposed to be a Dick Tracy watch dammit!

More people die from nut allergies each year (about 150) and I don't see us declaring a War on Nuts

Tried to pack a kid's lunch lately? Or held a birthday party? Or baked anything for a bake sale?

Nuts are the new communism party. "Are you or have you even been in contact with nuts?"

Before it was scrapped, the Canadian government had shelled out over a billion dollars to pay for the federal gun registry. It was initially budgeted to cost a few hundred million. Why the bloat? Because they didn't factor in the cost of every single department and major player having a different computer system, and wanting integration with their systems, and they didn't want their individual departments to pay for it, or have to change their own internal systems. So it all got added into the registry's budget instead.

As opposed to TFA, the actual law says:

Nowhere in the law does it say they have to apply for reimbursement. They can challenge the order to hire the archaeologist by stating they don't have the funds to hire him.

The Star does that a lot. Gins up a headline, then reports the actual facts down at the bottom after they've finished editorializing.

You must pay. Unless you can demonstrate it's a financial burden. These clauses are within a few lines of each other in the legislation. How is that lazy?

In some jurisdictions in Canada, the state will do some things to maintain the sidewalk/edges of your property (pay for repairs to concrete, maintain trees, etc) but you are still responsible for others (shovelling sidewalk, mowing grass, etc).

It depends on the local bylaws.
