Many places allow lane-splitting (in California the law was you can split lanes, but no more than 10mph faster than the other vehicle in the lane and you may not exceed the speed limit while doing so) because many bikes are air-cooled. No movement, bike overheats, bike dies.

For me, I loved the morons in cages who would pinch off bikes for no apparent reason.

I dunno, but perhaps try less agitating and more dialogue?

Honestly, take a step back and look around and you'll see that everywhere we are inundated with declarations that "we" are bad and demands that "we" change our ways. Few seem willing to establish mutual respect, they always demand that "the other guy" provide that courtesy. And most attempts to point this out end with no more progress than the topical equivalent of "he started it!!!!"

That is not a good starting place for compromise. ... all this IMHO, of course.

Yeah, here in the Pacific Northwest, we 'account' for the fish by removing the dams, not updating the designs.

I, for one, welcome our new salmon overlords!

1 - 10) It takes a Loooooooong time. I'm 10 months in thus far. Took 5 months to be 'pre-cleared' alone. ... and I was RECRUITED to apply / to the contract.

Other random questions / comments I found interesting:
1) Have any significant debt? Showstopper.
2) Have any debt at all delinquent? Showstopper.
3) Argued with a superior in a past job for any reason? Big concern.
4) Can't remember / haven't kept track of people you knew 7 years ago? Concern.
5) Traveled outside the country for any reason in the past 7 years? Concern. (where did you go, when, how long, etc)
6) Been unemployed at any time in the last 7 years? Concern.

It's a stupidly ridiculously bureaucratic process. And yes, I understand the reasoning. That doesn't mean I agree with it.

(who wants to bet this post will cause things to slow down again?)

... just a few of the ones I found good that are within arm's reach. That is assuming you learn by reading.

Oh, and the vast majority of exploits target one form of buffer overflow or another. Stack based, heap based... learn your buffer overflows and you're in the door.

You don't have to 'bribe' anyone. You generally have to develop a plan (and perhaps a prototype, depending upon your desired equity position) that demonstrates to investors that you have a way of increasing their money. See? No bribes needed! Just good old fashioned work!

MMMmmmmkay.
