>Cut the deficit all the way to negative. ASAP. Because austerity has worked so well for everybody else, right?

Look up how delta-sigma ADCs work some time.

No, there is no audible difference, because the harmonics of that 22khz sawtooth which *make* it a sawtooth instead of a sine wave are above the limits of human hearing. Filter out those harmonics and what you have left is a sine wave. Not to mention that 22khz is itself arguably above the limits of human hearing itself.

The F1 engine only ever flew aboard the Saturn V, and only 13 of those were ever launched. Still not the greatest odds, but much better than 1/33.

What, for having different hobbies than you? You're the one who feels the compulsion to make your commute interesting, is that because you don't have anything particularly interesting to do on either side of it? That sounds a lot more sad to me.

I perform music. The rush of playing a packed house dwarfs anything that you could do even remotely safely on a public roadway. Sorry if I don't share the same emotional attachment for what I see as a tool for transporting myself and equipment between the things I do which are *actually* interesting.

Yeah...but that will make my drive to work a bore.

Too bad. My drive to work is boring already, automated driving would allow me to spend my time in the car productively rather than having to pay attention to the road the whole time. I don't understand your need to turn a commute into an adventure, I get in the car to go to the place where I will be having the adventure.

Same with motorcycles...are we going to ban them from the open roads too?

Yes. By the year 2100 people are going to shake their heads in disbelief at how reckless we were for operating our motor vehicles manually. And they'll look back in amusement at the first generation of automated vehicles which will still have manual controls, in the same way we look back at the first motor vehicles which had wooden horses attached to the front.

Recreational driving should be separated from regular commuters for the same reason that you separate skate parks from pedestrian traffic.

Again, I'm sure that once manual driving becomes illegal on public roads, folks will start opening more private roads and tracks where you can do whatever the heck you want.

I'm sure there will be a market for private roads where people can continue to drive manually for fun. Honestly, I don't want people having fun on the road I'm using to commute. I want them to be focused on operating their vehicles safely.

The only sensible thing is to give the video more exposure.. Anyone got a link?

Harmonizing standards is about long term gains, and I fully support it, even if it means temporary inconvenience.

No youtube links or NWO/FEMA ramblings? My conspiritard isn't ripe!

99% of people would just click "OK", and have their metadata, including GPS coordinates, uploaded.

While you could say it's their own damn fault, it would still be a huge privacy problem.

I'm not sure how serious you are, but for 99% of the population there is nothing clear about that statement.

I would think that someone, somewhere would say "wait, can't we make the argument that the provision of federal government services should be based only on the need for those services and no other factors?" Or is that the argument that they made when challenging the drinking age thing?

Base 2 or base 10 megasignatures?
