Idea: Have devices in emergency vehicles that can change red traffic lights to green... for the direction they are headed or the lane they are in.
-crabby3 (January 13, 2015, 12:00 PM)

Some cities might already have these. I think I even remember seeing one - there's a special little strange light that can flash on top of the stoplight when the override flashes. I really think I recall seeing one in action once even years ago, where all four of the regular directions were red, to reduce the mental load on the driver.


-TaoPhoenix (January 13, 2015, 07:38 PM)

It's already been done. See here.

Now all i have to do is live long enough to see the local implementation.   ;D

In the meantime i think i'll get one of those LED middle-finger-salutes and stick it in my back-window.
For the next asshole ambulance that stops behind me at a clogged red light.

Let's follow the logical outcome:

If the government can read it --> so can the terrorists --> and so can other unfriendly governments --> and if encryption is banned, then the government can't use encryption either --> so state secrets won't be very secret.

Yep. This is definitely for "homeland security" and the children! :D

This is exactly why I have been dying for mouser to add "upvotes" on the forum...Because I would make 1000000 accounts on DC just to upvote that comment that many times.
-Stephen66515 (January 13, 2015, 12:34 PM)

If upvotes is another name for kudos... they don't mean squat... anywhere.   ;D

Oh, and by the way...don't think that just because this is a UK thing, that other countries won't follow suit...if the UK allows it, the USA and the rest of the world would quickly follow suit.
-Stephen66515 (January 13, 2015, 08:59 AM)

I believe the US has ways to snoop already.  They just don't and won't admit it.  Plausible deniability still works.

RE: Beware of Freeware downloads
The title of this post is exactly what freeware authors fear -- that our software will get a bad reputation because of some bad sites.

The lesson is not to beware freeware -- it's to beware these third party download sites.
ALWAYS go to the source, the author of the software, to find the download.  NEVER trust a third party source unless it is directly linked from the author's web page.
-mouser (January 12, 2015, 11:00 AM)

The problem with this for the average user is Chrome.  Not sure if FF/IE do this also, i.e. this file is not one that (we think is) downloaded commonly, so you shouldn't download it.

*sigh*
-wraith808 (January 12, 2015, 11:14 AM)

Seen that so many times on both Chrome and FF...if a download hasn't has many hits, then they are labelled as "Dodgy as fuck" by the browser which will turn 80% of normal users away because they don't understand.

DC should become a freeware download site  :mrgreen:

I agree..this has to be one of the more horrific titles that appeared on DC.
-Stephen66515 (January 12, 2015, 11:33 AM)

Me being part of the 80% of the 'normal users' ... isn't it better to be safe than sorry?  Don't believe anything you read and half of what you see.  I heard this long before the Internet earned my mistrust.  Why would any semi-informed non-geek take a chance with their machine?  They wouldn't.  When IE9 or MBAM or... warns to stay away... i do.  Mousers view is my view.  Go to the source; the author of the software.  (Just beware be aware of what you click at the authors site as well).  ;D
