Yes, but this could mesh dangerously with the various ethanol fuel initiatives . . .

Officer: [sniff] Have you been drinking?

I've drivien in New York. There, it's the accelerator and horn that are binary. . :)

Crashes, hydroplaning, erratic driving?

this is Nevada. Have you *seen* our bad drivers? We have bad habits from all over the country. The last times looked, my uninsured motorist coverage was higher than my liability coverage!

Quite frankly, the average AI driver in my Judson' Mario cart game has more business on the road than our "real" drivers . . .

"remembering" to use the clutch or downshift???

I thought you said you were familiar and experienced driiving manual transmissions.

These aren't things to be "remembered"; they are just as instinctive as which way to turn the wheel, or "remembering" to use the brakes to slow down.

Now, with an automatic, downshifting for engine braking is generally a conscious decision, which must be remembered. In a am UPL, you simply do it.

We've given up on them figuring this out.

Oh, wait--that *must* be backwards . . . :)

There are still perverts out there measuring in metric tons?

No, that wouldn't have been successful--the context of the question was thT he was a defendant in a sexual harassment lawsuit; as with any other type of suit, the plaintiff is entitled to investigate similar incidents where the defendant might have behaved similarly. It's really no different than asking the drunk driver that hit your mother about the rest of his driving record.

Now, if he had answered, "Yes, she came on to me, and I happily took what she offered. We did it all over the oval office every night that week, and I'm glad e did," it would have shut down the line of questioning and pretty much ended everything there--it wouldn't have been the similar conduct Jones' attorneys had been looking for.

Huh?

Debian, stable, update: pick 3 . . .

Err, that's not fair.

Debian, update: pick one . . .

And it's not my fault! The only time I personally caused a Debian release to be held up, it was for less than a week. :)

But who would have thought that *snipers* of all people would have to worry about becoming obsolete due to new technology . . .

Next: a self-administering poison . . .
