What should the limit be on sleeping with female employees?
How long did these studies take data for to show the change wasn't temporary? How did the studies account for the bias of their test yellows being made longer relative to the average yellows the drivers encounter everywhere else, a bias that would disappear if all yellows were made longer?
If drivers have adjusted to how long yellows are now, aren't they certain to adjust to how long they are after we make them all a little longer? Isn't another thing drivers have adjusted to is the historically low likelihood of being caught running a red, and the new cameras have upset that, and drivers have yet to adjust (in this case by taking yellows more seriously)?
I also remember an ignorant review... this one of a jet fighter game. The reviewer wondered how the sound of the aircraft's cannon made it out of playtesting the the sound garbled. He didn't know modern aircraft cannon make a 6000RPM braaaap instead of a 450 rpm WWII movie pop-pop-pop-pop. When letter writers informed him of his ignorance, he dug in his heels and said it "still sounded wrong" and didn't make for good entertainment because it was counter to gamers' expectations.
My uncle got a ticket for a speed higher than he was traveling, and the officer testified in court that speed was determined by time over distance between two very close markers. The officer thought the closer his markers, the more accurate the measurement. My uncle, a professor, tried to explain that human timing error meant that the closer the markers were, the LESS accurate the speed measurement was. The judge didn't understand, was frustrated, and finally said he thought my uncle was a speeder, and let the fine stand.
The "result" of unarmed police is a non-violent society?
Not to mention the day we talked about sarcasm.
Internally, 420p is completely plausible. however, that's not the idea... With NFC, and an appropriate receiver (or a simple dock and cable) 1080p connection to a TV is completely within reason. Further, a tiny adjustment to the mini displayport on upcoming mac notebooks (and PCs as well, since it's part of the standard), and video in to a notebook through playback on an iPod/iPhone is completely plausible.
In 2006 after the VA hard drive got lost we were looking into an encryption solution for our backups, the thing we finally decided on was a 2U box with a tamper resistant case that would zero out the encryption keys if the chassis was opened, and the encryption chip was sealed in a resin that would destroy the chip if tampered with.
We ended up with the CryptoStor instead of the DataFort, right before CryptoStor fired all their hardware engineers and decided to focus on the software side of their encryption solution.
I would presume the encryption chip and memory of the Swiss Army Stick are embedded in a similar kind of resin.
The trouble is that apathy is convenient. Fighting for your beliefs is just too much like hard work. -- Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons. - Bertrand Russell
