Sounds like the other person was following to close to the car in front. Too many people have a bad habit of not leaving enough space to allow for time to stop. I've seen many rush hour wrecks because of this and none were new cars that auto braked. The driver in front stopped quickly because they were too close to…

Well hopefully this tech will lead to you not getting hit by someone who didn't see you in a blind spot, but their car was tracking the object (you) and warned or prevented a lane change.

Look I get your argument based on the fact that you come across a stop sign that should be a yield sign at best. And I get that you feel your free will to know that stop means stop when someone else is driving across would be imposed upon. But what about when it's not you but the other person who is focused on…

So are you saying you're a homicidal maniac? I've been in IT for 19 years, I'm the last person you have to tell that technology isn't perfect. But you seem to be implying there's nothing it can do to help save lives and that's asinine. Technology is no more perfect than the people who design it. Are you saying that…

I fixed my sister's iPhone with nail polish. The power button had stopped working because it wouldn't travel enough to click the internal button. Took it apart and applied a bit of clear polish to add a "bump". After it dried, reassembled and it worked.

Oh and for what it's worth the person who hit me had a suspended license and no insurance. The driver was the real problem, but a car with safety features could have saved me a lifetime of neck and back pain. At least the safety features in my car kept me alive.

So your assuming that the car you're driving is smart enough to know when to avoid an accident but doesn't know that you've just been or are going to be hit from behind? Engineers will have to take many type of situations into consideration when they program all this. Would you suggest that safety features should…

I agree, but man there are so many people who have no common sense or just plain shouldn't be driving.

That's exactly what I was going to say. As someone who got hit by an idiot who ran straight through a red light at full speed, I'm for making cars stop a lights. I wouldn't mind an override button (for emergency reasons) and a blackbox to log the override. That way if you override it and stupidly run through a red,…

This is what happened in Austin, TX but to a lesser degree. We have tons of hills and overpasses. It started with freezing rain and sleet, which hit warm ground and sat there as water. Then as temperatures dropped further and stayed below freezing, all the water turned to ice and much of it was black ice (the kind you…

Actually it is a preview of FF7 because on the FF6 Blu-ray they even say it's a exclusive sneak peak of the next movie.

I believe I made a purchase at this famous store yesterday. I bought my wife a new (bigger) engagement ring and a band that matched pretty well. Paid a little less than half of the original price. But those prices mean as much as a MSRP or an Amazon list price. Still it looks great and she was very happy.

What, that was the fun part. ;)

Ah, that's true it is possible to make a custom image for that particular feature. I've thought about doing that for the images I build at work but it's not worth the effort. Well as an alternative to using the ISO tool, one can run diskpart to format a USB drive and give it an active partition so that it's bootable.…

Don't forget Windows 8 itself can reset your computer back to a fresh install.

I hate that so many people especially "counselors" in high school pressure youths to go to college and yet many of those youths don't even know what to learn about. It's a waste of time and money to go for the sake of going. As for me, a top 10% hardly, but I did listen in class and had no problems passing tests.…

Fact: There is never good time to run out of toilet paper. It's all that separates us from the animals! Paper towels, conversely, may seem to be a less urgent purchase, but a minor kitchen spill can quickly turn into a Messapocalypse if you're out of Bounty or Brawny. The only defense against a dearth of paper goods…

I disagree with your statement but agree with your inference about higher education in general. I don't have a degree. I'm working the same tech support job and making the same amount as others and all my co-workers have degrees. I educated myself, because to do a job right you have to have knowledge about what you're…

I get gas at Costco (consistently cheaper than other places) and use GasBuddy to keep track of prices. Although it helps that Costco is on my way home and the fact that I have to use Supreme gas I usually save about $0.20 or more per gallon as compared to a normal gas station.

Here's the Costco link: http://www.costco.com/Winegard-Flatw…
