Comment: Re:Citations? They need to be sued heavily (Score 1) 505

I could care less about the money. I don't even care about the safety. If folks would just stop as the light turns red, safety would just happen.
What I do care about is this:
  When the the left turning lane of the opposing traffic gets the yellow, act proper. by the time I get the green, I should not have to wait for three more assholes to chain together and run the light. They should die and their loved ones should pay a fine. Problem would solve itself before long.

Install Collusion add-on into your Firefox browser and monitor it while surfing. After visiting a few web sites you will see links forming to ten other sites. etc...
It becomes apparent that everyone is telling everyone else about you.

looks like this...

  I think It's a legal problem. MS lawyers were asleep at the wheel when it came to phones and tablets. MS was able to force exclusivity on the likes of HP, Gateway, Dell etc... back in the day. "Sell something other than Windows and you will pay dearly for each copy of Windows."
  Because MS didn't get their hooks (crooks?) in early on the ARM front, They have no leverage in the phone and tablet arena. At this point the manufacturers are not stupid enough to let MS rule their lives anymore.
  My view of Microsoft is this: You are either still still forced to use MS products or you finally found a way out.

Not so much, It's like this (from my previous post...)

    Seeing how the internet is more of a virtual thing, I think the physical location of the router is not relevant in this case. Having a router unsecured is like leaving a box of cookies on the sidewalk, in the middle of town. Folks can't get upset when someone has a look at the contents of the box. The 'intruder' has no idea where the router is physically located.

It's like the following differences...
1) Someone peeking into your window.
2) You standing naked in front of your window.
3) You standing naked in town.

The unsecured router would be 3 more so than 2. definitely not 1. :)

Motion can be told to act on or ignore a light switching off/on using a threshold.

It can be setup to detect large or small amounts of motion and long or short periods of time before triggering.

I'm not sure about singling out specific parts of the screen as triggerable/not triggerable.

"It's in process": So wrapped up in red tape that the situation is almost hopeless.

Working...
