  1. This system will likely do just that. Fewer people will need to be used to scan plates, and will instead be able to focus their eyes on what's going on, on the road. License plates are there for all to see, and they are issued by the government for purposes such as this.
  2. Criminals and thieves also make a mockery of private property. Fortunately, a system like this may help to catch them while driving stolen vehicles. Agreed. The big brother argument is invalid because the people operating these vehicles could very well be endangering other people's lives while they drive. Libertarians maintain that people can do what they want, as long as it doesn't cause risk to others, and driving an unlicensed, unregistered or non-roadworthy vehicle does just that. It's not as if police don't already do this anyways, only now it'll be more efficient. That means they'll be able to be used much more effectively.

    WHY??

  4. I don't have the best sleeping habits, but I always manage to get 7-8 hours. Some things I've done to help me sleep better is to drink milk before bed, and use earplugs; although that might be a problem for your significant other when it comes to alarm volume. Another thing I do is not use the computer an hour before bed. Instead, I just lie down and watch the news on TV. For some reason, the computer kept me awake, whereas the TV on a low volume mellows me out. When it comes to my mind wandering while awake in bed, I try to think about Intel P45 boards. Puts me out real quick.
  5. I doubt this particular potato chip wants tortilla chips crossing the border.
  6. But sales taxes are also regressive, and impact the poor the most.
  7. A GNX?! WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF?!
  8. Strange, I find myself preferring the original front ends. Still looks really cool, though.
  9. Anyone get a screenshot of the ad? It's been flagged.
  10. If Eddie Griffin is any indication, drivers surfing mobile internet porn will kill us all.
  11. Buying Chinese commands a premium? Who knew?! I was under the impression that jizz stains and fat chick sweat would lower resale.
  12. Wow that Brandi chick is dumb. Seriously, two accidents from texting? I hope her parents are keeping her off the road, or she turns the cell phone off and throws it in the trunk every time she drives.
  13. X6's are selling like gangbusters in my area. My school has quite a few students who drive them, and I can't for the life of me understand why someone would buy an X6 over an X5. Yes, they do make their drivers look like tools.
  14. I've heard of them, but I don't know too much about them. Are they just more people who are famous for the sake of being famous?
  15. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: What are those things? :/
  16. That's probably the best description ever. For enterprise use, Twitter is a a godsend, but the majority of its use confuses me. My buddy's girlfriend's Twitter is just filled with her talking about her nails or how much coffee she's consumed in a day.
  17. You don't believe in user pay for facilities? It's not like I'm a Smart Car driving granola here, I drive a big truck, and I have to so I can move big things for my work. At the same time, I also commute with mass transit, and realize that many of the people who drive single-occupancy vehicles don't really need to, which infers that using a car is a luxury. My taxes go to fund roads, but our transit system is incurring a massive shortfall this year, and the roads aren't in great shape; something needs to change, and the best way to get that money is to implement measures like road taxes, tolls, or distance based insurance. I guess it's down to where you're located. I'm in the city, where people don't travel too far to get to where they need to go, but congest the roadways, and that creates many problems. If you're out of town, in a more rural setting, where there is little to no bus service, and your distances are longer, than it's easy to see why there'd be rejection.
  18. On one hand this really sucks, but on the other, it's good economics because we need more user-pay systems to curb car use. The revenues from this could be used to put effective mass-transit systems in place.
  19. I was under the impression drug use amongst teens has been sliding over the past few years? Same goes for drunk driving. Although, those have had advertisement campaigns that don't just focus on gore.
  20. One of my old bosses had the real bad habit of confiding to others about the people under him that he disliked, and saying some nasty things to boot. It always made me wonder if and what he said about me to others. Plus, I was very certain he was a coke fiend.
  21. Killin' Love - Danger Danger
  22. Chances are, it's a custom splash screen that was loaded onto the Garmin unit. I'm sure an end-user can probably change it with general ease through their computer.
  23. Wow! Fantastic work, especially with the GPS/dash integration! The GXP cues on the front and back look awesome too! Looking real sharp!
  24. I was taught cursive in 3rd/4th grade, but kept getting in trouble because mine wasn't very good. The teachers sent me to the 'special' class so I could continue learning it while the rest of the class went to gym. Naturally, this pissed me off so I just refused to learn to it, and continued to print. Till this day, I still think cursive is bull$h! and not terribly efficient for a lot of readers, especially for those people whose second language is English and are from Asia.
