FTFY. Most of the rest is just general tax money, from everyone...no matter how they get around.

I am curious to conduct an experiment on this. What does someone have to do at a light/stop sign to get a negative response from someone in a car watching?

Example, if you ride thru in a car....yes that is very dangerous to all and everyone would disapprove. If you walk thru...would not get a response from most (I suppose) because that is only dangerous to that person...and since nobody wants to be hit by a car you assume that they can see there is no car coming (even though this is still against the rules). On a bike....the same rules apply that do to the person walking, you might scratch someone's paint but you are really only putting yourself at risk. However, I suspect that the bicyclist would make more people angry.

Since I don't think that we are naturally wired to dislike people on bicycles, there has to be another reason why. Probably that there is a small percentage of cyclists who act like complete douchebags when they get on the road? I wonder how close that number is to the number of people in cars who do the exact same thing?

Full disclosure. I commute by bike. If I can see that nobody is coming...I am riding thru. I live in a medium/small city with a very small downtown area...if I lived in a larger city I would certainly take another look at that strategy.

I commute by bike every day. It has to be pretty windy from the right (wrong) direction for me to breathe much harder than I would be if I were walking. Some people want to show everyone how into cycling they are and what great shape they are in (in which case, they probably aren't breathing that hard either).....but some of us are just "pedal pedal coast, pedal pedal coast"ing to work.

You probably use FF because you just like it more in general. But in case anyone wants to know.

In our new era of HGH fueled older action stars he may be able to pull it off. Between that and the camera swinging around everywhere.

Trust me. I will be.

They couldn't prove damages because of the episode. I thought that even Clarkson came out and said he wished the episode had gone differently. Top Gear is a great show, the second best car show behind Leno's garage (seriously). But, the bits they do aren't exactly reality based...it is pure entertainment.

Having said that....this seems like Tesla are being crybabies.

I outsmarted myself when I was young and ran into this. Maybe the angriest I have ever been with another person. She thought so too, because the cops showed up very quickly to escort me out. I thought I heard something about a bank(s) getting into trouble over this a while back (several years)?

No mod points, so I will have to reply stating that this is a pretty interesting point.

Not sure if you are just pointing out that you hacked that together or not...but this isn't over the air radio either.

BitchX bitches!

It is going after bittorrent. Most people who are downloading movies and TV shows aren't going to be able to find another way if they can kill the torrents. Well, until the next thing comes along.

Those are the same people that are most likely scared away when they hear about this, or when they get caught the first time. My mother, who knows nothing about computers and does not care to learn, told me to "be careful downloading movies, because they are cracking down on that".

I guess it depends what field you are in...or maybe just where you happen to work. The Sysadmins here are all complete 100% windows guys. They couldn't get a job in any other environment. Some of the employees are windows only at work people...but the infrastructure guys are all windows only. It has been this way at the last couple places I have worked. I haven't changed companies in a while, however.

not nearly as bad as me wondering why they filmed the helicopter and not the volcanoes for around 2 minutes before I realized you can move the camera.

Computers are my forte.

While I am sure the parent was kidding...I have a friend who is only moderately stupid that firmly believes that the moon landings were faked. I found this a couple weeks ago, an interesting point of view.

We would have faked it...but actually doing it was easier at the time.
