Why would you need to report accidents? Once we have in-car jamming, there won't be any accidents. Just like there weren't any accidents before the cell phone was invented.
It's not the flying cars we're waiting for. It's the flying bulldozers. Without them, there won't be any way to have road construction delays.
There have been computer games that let you play as the "bad guys" almost as long as there have been computer games, in eras ranging from pre-historic times, through to the World Wars, Cold War, Vietnam and even fictional SciFi enemies such as the Sith.
I realize Custer's Revenge was a primitive game but the 1980's were hardly prehistoric times. I don't think those cave paintings in the south of France count as video games.
I had no idea that the classical inventor of medicine was also a war documentarian. What a hypocrite!
Exactly. That's why it goes to eleven! Bits, that is.
I fully welcome our new Cat5e overlords but I just want the madness to stop.
Screw that! In a couple weeks, they'll wrap up the spec for 802.11-HD and we'll all look like chumps.
Maybe I should go around and write "computer" in English on all my computers, as a service to future language researchers.
Just don't, like many would do, put your label on the monitor.
The response largely misses the NSA video's point: If you think you're a good fit for the NSA, the polygraph shouldn't stop you from applying for a job.
It's crap science, but the NSA can erect whatever arbitrary hoops it wants for employees. Any fool watching the NSA video for insight into other uses of polygraphs does so at great peril. The response is most informative when he says, "This is true of NSA employment practice, but . .
Accusing the NSA of intellectual dishonesty is as useful as accusing water of being wet. Polygraphic prospective hires doesn't have to catch anybody to serve a purpose. It's enough to drive the pissant commie sympathizers to bother someone else. Or maybe not.
Jella's Friends deserves a couple points for using a more-or-less correct 16-color VGA palette.
Just wait until someone tries to trade 100 <illion dollars and the whole system crashes!
Cops are not, and should not be, in the punishment business. (that's a different department)
Dude, do you realize who signs up to be prison guards? Ex-cops and wannabe cops. You may as well have said, "Cops are not, and should not be in the [airline passenger screening | private investigation | security guard] business.".
I'm sorry to be pedantic, but did you read what you copied?
First, MUTCD is an administrative manual that sets forth the relationship between federal, state and local government, not a public law that would give a private citizen a defense to a ticket. Second, I'd hazard to guess that in any particular jurisdiction, 90% of the road-miles are at statutory speed limits, so this section wouldn't apply. Third, and most glaringly, 85% of the average speed could never equal the 85th percentile speed. Unless the average you're talking about a mean that is being skewed to Hell by all the rocket-cars on the road today. (And can I get one?)
It just means that there's a consensus among civil engineers, that 3 speeding cars in every 20 an acceptable level of scofflawry.
I'd wager my left toe that absolutely nothing comes of it.
If the reason you have only one left toe, is that you lost the other four in similar wagers, then I don't like his chances after all.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
