Comment: Or just use Timed Lights (Score 1) 299

When I lived in Detroit, all the major roads had lights timed for the speed limit..so we could drive miles without a red light, once you got going "in" the cycle. so at most one red light and then all green. worked great! During peak rush hour you had to make sure you stayed in the pack, but at midnight, coming home from the airport or gentlemen clubs...it was smooth sailing. BTW lights timed for 45mph...are also timed for 90. -KI

Id like to see a bird who could/would choke on a case for an iphone. Itd be a big un. Maybe it landed next to my verizon phone, which did end up in a ditch one day. Switched to nextel and was happy until Sprint got a hold of them. so now the phone karma gods are getting their revenge. Cant switch to verizon again, hate em. AT&T isnt a good choice, capped, limited. Virgin Mobile? maybe.

Back on topic...class action lawsuits work most of the time, as a deterrent to future business practices. Of course Apple might have 300mil to throw around, but i doubt they make the SAME mistake again.

Progressive sent me one back in the early 2000's. Not at my request. It came with a letter that said basically "Plug this in, and we will use your excellant driving abilities to give you up to 25% discount on your current rate." I sent it back in the postage paid envelope. I know my kind of driving would probably raise my rates. Funny to see them now offering it again. It also tracked everywhere I went, and when i went. No thanx, ill keep my privacy and pay more. If someone else wants to "save" 25%, go ahead and use it. I figured by now it would be mandatory to have it installed to get insurance, im sure that day is still coming.

The lake is AT seas level, but the top 1656ft are frozen. They were finding things in the top layer of ice, but werent sure if they had already contaminated it. SO they stopped drilling until a new system was in place. IIRC they had found some life forms in the top layer of ice already when they stopped drilling.

Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive.
