Re: How To Make A Right Turn WIth A Bike Lane

Turn your signal on and merge into bike lane well before intersection. Since you're a truck, you'll be occupying both lanes. Immediately before the intersection swing left back into the car lane, leaving your turn signal on and take the wide right turn.

Or you know, look for bikes as you're approaching an intersection and intend to turn.

I got one of these devices via their Kickstarter. I really wanted it to work, but ran into problems with it either constantly needing recalibrating or just being plain uncomfortable. I wore it under my shirt for awhile, but ended up setting it aside as the data wasn't worth the annoyance. Perhaps I wasn't wearing it exactly the same each day. Or maybe their software is getting better. One thing that was really interesting was using it while I slept. It can tell how much time you spend on your side vs front/back. I really wish there was an API or export functionality for getting my data out for my own analysis and comparison to other data.

That would be 250,000, not 25,000

Would also love to feature others and their use of their own big data and tools. Please contact me if you're interested.

No cap is one of the main reasons I chose sonic.net over everyone else. I think bandwidth caps at the commonly chosen 250GB level are penalizing to users like myself. I currently have over 700GB backed up "in the cloud". If I ever needed to restore it the download caps would get me canceled on most services.

The highest res photo I could find is linked to "Click here". Sounds like that's the one you're looking at. If anyone finds a higher res version, let me know and I'll update the post!

Re: GameStop Pollutes Downtown S.F. With Barrage of Red Balloons, Fliers

If they're so harmless and biodegradable, let's see a THQ spokesperson eat one of the balloons.

Technically speaking I believe that California Penal Code Section 653.1 applies to mylar balloons (i.e. electrically conductive). Regardless, Gamestop should be at least fined and forced to pay for cleanup.

Chances are it's not a front facing camera. Every sidekick model has had an ambient light sensor on the screen since the Sidekick II days that looks exactly like that. (Top and center on LX models, left of screen on SK3 and SKII) However lower on the screen it looks like there might be something else that could be a light sensor, so who knows

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I really like the super streamlined interface of Domainsite.com. Hopefully this won't be too lost in the switch to a new look.

p.s. Make an iphone app for registering domains when I'm away from a computer!

@Push I believe it has the potential to be both. To be honest, I have no idea if the real douchebags will show up. Perhaps they don't realize they're douchebags, will come for the laughs, and be educated.

In reality, what I expect will happen is that a bunch of people who aren't necessarily the in-crowd will show up, laugh at the ridiculous behaviors but also silently realize "oh shit, I do that" on some of the points. They'll then carry this information in their head and help point out douchebag activity in their friends to help save them.

Most people aren't douchebags, but a lot of people occasionally do douchey things. These individual douchey things are the cobblestones on the road to douchebaggery that we can help demolish before they arrive at Douchetown, USA.

gadlen,

I switched to Backblaze and so far I've had a great experience. No computer slowdowns during backing up. I checked out Crashplan, but rather than rely on friends or family, I'd rather pay someone to keep my data safe.
