What should worry you is people using cars. The pileup only happens with cars driven by humans. Computers notice the stoppage and stop in time.

This is my biggest fear regarding computer-driven cars:
In this situation 'unsaved information' means 'your ass'.

Then my work here is done But not my work here... I have *glances at clock* 75 minutes left of my 5 hour telesales shift. It's been a boring shift - loooooong waits on the dialler between calls - and a very high number of hang-ups/call refusals. Very frustrating when you've been sat there for 10 mins waiting for a call and when it clicks and you start to speak you hear the hang-up tone. Wait another 10 mins - but with a quick call (30 second wait) just often enough to know that you have to remain ready to speak at any moment.

It's OK because eventually Google punishes them for bad links when it changes the algorithms.
Not that cellar.org is considered a source of bad links, but they put their links up widely; And then Google finds the links on sites that are known link farms; and changes its algorithm to give negative scores for those links; And then the site linked to is heavily punished in search rankings, and their traffic suddenly just *boom* goes away, along with all revenue for their business; And then I get a message from Contact Us saying please, as a favor to us, that link is bad, it's hurting us, remove that link; And then I get a second message a week later saying this is a followup, I notice you haven't taken the link down, please as a favor remove that link; And then I send them a notice saying that the volume of requests for link removal is high, but if they pay my invoice for $5 for the work involved, I will take the link down. So far it has not paid off once, but the joy I get in sending those invoices is so great that it makes up for everything. |

So, i've caught myself up with Person of Interest - in about a fortnight. Now I've run out of Person of Interest to watch until they air a new episode.
It's left me with a teensy bit of an obsession with several of the actors. So now I have to start checking out other stuff done by Michael Emmerson, Jim Caviesawhatever and Amy Acker. What's the big one for Emerson? Fucking Lost - I dropped off Lost by the end of the first season - now I feel compelled to watch the damn show. And being the completist that i am, I'm not capable of just launching in at the point Emmerson enters the show - no, I need to watch the whole damn thing. And since I've forgotten most of season one, that means starting at the beginning. Just finished ep 1, and y'know, I'd forgotten just how unbelievably awesome the first few eps were.

It's from Carrot. I have no idea how he was able to send it or why it came to me. Maybe he sent PM's to all Dwellars. It goes on: Quote:

I thought he was looking more than usually shifty.

The pendulum swings after political wins, but often too far.
