Comment Re:Public land closures (Score 1) 48

The responses aren't that heavy handed. They just close things off and the yahoos who want to go off-roading in wilderness get pissed.

Honestly - who do you think this effects? The people going off the trails are not going to stop because there is yet another sign saying not to go off trail a bit sooner.

Comment Re:Established science CANNOT BE QUESTIONED! (Score 1) 719

It can be questioned, but in this case the costs of giving anything up to the denialists is too great. The fate of the human race is at stake. It's like suspension the constitution during a war.

I believe that is the justification used to imprison the Japanese during WWII and Germans in WW1 and communists during the cold war.

Comment Re:Arrest increase because they're looking for it? (Score 1) 484

That is common whenever the laws change when passing an unseen line. They do that in my city during New Years an July 4th since we aren't allowed fireworks in the city. Firework stands are set up right outside city limits and cops right inside city limits.

Only the city and big / influential businesses are allowed to shoot off fireworks in San Antonio.

Same with highways that drop to 15 miles an hour to sustain small towns via tourist tickets

Comment Re:No thru traffic (Score 1) 611

They don't even stop people from using store parking lots as a way around traffic or lights.

It is very frustrating when people cut like this because it takes longer for the people following the rules to make the turn since now they have to wait for the cutters to drive past.

Comment Re:Why Chrome when you can use Chromium? (Score 1) 107

Google has never provided binaries on their Chromium site and that has always seemed like a very deliberate choice to deter would be users.

To run Chromium (on Windows) you must to dig through third party sites which may or may not have the latest version of Chromium available and may or may not bundle adware garbage installers.

Here you go...
https://download-chromium.apps...

This is the raw build of Chromium for Windows x86, right off the trunk. It may be tremendously buggy.
