    Texting Ban For Commercial Vehicles

    Actually, "just laptops out there with Internet connections" is exactly what they are. A few police departments experimented with 800 mHz closed networks several years ago using Motorola data radio modems connected to laptops, but the 9600-baud narrow bandwidth was extremely limited, limiting...

    Texting Ban For Commercial Vehicles

    Dialing a number, even a single button press for a quick-dial, could be viewed as texting, by someone who looks over and sees it, or by a camera (which are ubiquitous these days). Just holding the phone and looking at it to get the time can be viewed as texting. I've done it, and I'm sure most...

    Grid 325, Sector 001 of the Borg Spacial Designation, right there on the border between the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, on the north side of the parking lot.

    bought a garmin

    Yeah, the T is for Traffic. It's mainly major cities, about 90 metropolitan areas. The Traffic works primarily from data collected by radio stations and the city or state highway department, which gets reported over the air via an FM radio signal that the Garmin receives. Road closures are...

    Could there be an iphone app for EO?!

    A stylus, women with really long fingernails, or a gloved hand, won't work. The Droid (and most Smartphones including the iPhone) uses a capacitive touch screen. A capacitive touch screen uses an insulator, like glass, coated with a transparent conductor like indium oxide. The human body is also...

    But the above aren't claims that require proof or substantiating. They are a statement of facts that anyone can obtain by doing their own cursory research. The only reason they would require substantiation would be if I have a history of making unsubstantiated claims and fabrications. Asking for...

    Yup. The corruption on this one is likely to go long and deep. We'll likely never get the real story, but it'll be a whopper when it's all said and done. There's just a snotload of money that's been paid out to farmer who don't exist. I wonder where it really went?

    Yeah, I'm like, totally discredited. <snort> If you don't want to believe anything I say, fine. But I still won't do your homework for you.

    When Shirley lost her job

    It's not entirely baseless, as I've just posted in two Soapbox threads and you immediately responded to me with a contradiction in one thread, and asking for a link to prove what I'm saying in this thread. Then there's your history, which speaks for itself. "You're the one that made the claims...

    When Shirley lost her job

    I'm not going to get into it with you. Do your own homework. This is about the issues, but as usual you want to make it about who posted it rather than what was posted. Everything I stated is 100% verifiable. If you want to verify it, you doing it independently is far preferable to my serving...

    Googling American Thinker should be easy enough. It's also easy enough to Google Pigford vs. Glickman and find the court rulings on the case.

    The joy of a Muslim women

    That date at Snopes is the date Snopes first saw it in an e-mail (as submitted from someone, or from the Snopes couple themselves). I have a copy of it in my mailbox dated December 4, 2008, sent vial ListMail. It was also posted to Usenet in alt.politics (crossposted to several other groups, as...

    When Shirley lost her job

    It's from a story from the American Thinker. As usual, there's some truth to it, but it's wildly played up with distortions, half-truths and sometimes outright lies to get people all frothy. This is exactly the kind of stuff that costs the GOP elections, stooping to the level of the kind of...

    The joy of a Muslim women

    You'd think so, but alas, no. No it wasn't. Some of it does relate to some concepts she (a real person, founder of Arabs for Israel) has written or stated, but none of it is her own words. Mainly, everything listed has a kernel of truth to it, highly distorted though it may be, but it's been...

    insanity finding a good driver

    He's confusing the voicing of a reality, that he doesn't want to see, with jealousy. Happens all the time. Won't take long for reality to sink in, tho. That happens all the time, too.
