No, avoid the doorzone, don't cycle in it at all, I could well be dead right now if I cycled in the door zone - I had some driver fling his door open whilst a bus was coming the other direction up the road, the door just missed my handlebars.

Watch this and tell me you have any time to react when someone opens the door at the last moment.

Why endanger your life? - stay out of the doorzone and show this video to anyone who cycles because I'm sick of people cycling in the door zone and confusing drivers as to the correct place a cyclist should be cycling - I end up getting harassed for staying safe because of them.

Because they weren't going to test the cardboard helmet anyway?

The whole helmet debate is a big red herring., the real problemb in most countries is poor driving and poor cycling infrastructure, most cyclists are woefully unaware of good cycling practices re door zone, shoulder checking, when to take the Lane etc.

My understanding is that this is a non-issue, they can make the cardboard with chemicals that cause it to be fully waterproof proof all the way through.

"Assumptions are: drivers don't suddenly start being dickheads around you because you're wearing a helmet,"
Your assumption is incorrect, study has shown that drivers drive worse around cyclists that wear helmets, so much so that it could well be safer not to wear one. The theory is that the safer you look, the more risk drivers take around you.

Cardboard can be treated to make it water resistant all the way through.

Fuck war, fuck the people that start wars.

At no point did I want or attempt to create or agree to a google+ account.

The bastards gave me one and linked it to my gmail without my permission.

And I still can't post comments to youtube videos.

I am so sick of everything wanting to upgrade all of the time.

FFS my phone wants to constantly update a ton of crap that I'm not even interested in using, Occasionally I let it upgrade and it asks me to agree to some BS user agreement at which point I say no, fuck Samsung, why the fuck should I agree to some BS to use my phone?

Or proportional voting like it's done for EU MPs not some weird complicated crap that doesn't work to represent people.

1. Is hello world easier to code now? When I had an a bit the program was

(type)
print "Hello world" (hit enter)

That didn't seem hard, now - what steps to you have to go through on a modern PC you've just bought. Not as easy is it.

2. Agree with other poster, why are compilers throwing 99.999% of redundant code in to the software? Pathetic.

"and sure you can disable updates but what does that really get you exactly?"

Mod compatibility.

Garmin Forerunner 310XT GPS Sports Watch

It has a processor, inputs and a display. It might not do Facebook or be general purpose but it's a computer and its wearable.

Hitler started WWII, are you saying he was justified?

So, hitler was justified in going to war?
