Should the elderly be required to take yearly driving test?
Push replied to AggieDave's topic in The Bonfire
Heh. I just got my renewed drivers license (my old one was stolen). It came with an organ donor card. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. -

If they're capable, let them show it. Kids and elderly should legally be a high risk group, not just in terms of the insurance. I'm 20. Most drivers my age should not be driving. I would happily go through an annual, semiannual, or even more frequent driving tests. All the other morons my age should too. Insurance is cure. Legality is prevention. You know what they say.

I do. We discriminate on the basis of their age. Funny how calling something by a different name changes the way you percieve it. Everyone should continuously prove that they are able to operate a couple of tons of steel at a very high speed without killing me or my family. I will be more than happy to go through the same demonstration. EDITED TO ADD: Notice how I don't care a bit whether you kill yourself or not. You can go ahead and get yourself killed, it's your right. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

First, let me say that I'm very sorry to hear that. CNN was saying 8 deaths yesterday. Looks like someone else died. My condolences to all the families, even if none of them actually read this. Second, this is what happens when people as a whole take cars for granted. A couple of tons of steel and plastic moving very quickly is NOT SAFE! But we are used to it, so we don't bother. Besides, it's convenient to drive, and the majority drives, so no politician in his right mind would go anywhere near this percieved "unalienable right". It's way too easy to get a driver's license in Canada. Any 16 year old idiot can get a license here. Then they drive like maniacs, drive drunk, race, and kill people. I've been almost killed by a teenage driver three times that I remember, and I do mean almost killed. I mean that if I had slammed on the breaks half a second later or had jumped away half a second later, I would have been crippled or killed. One of those times I even posted about on the forums. I watched a fatal accident on the 401 in which someone died. Sideseat passenger wasn't wearing a seatbelt, the driver slammed on the breaks... Driving is not a game, cars are not toys. Why are they treated like toys? I agree with requiring the elderly to take tests. Difficult tests. I'm guessing that there is only one in ten or so 70 year olds that has the motor and psychomotor skills to drive. Therefore, there should only be one in ten 70 year olds that can drive. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

As far as I know, though I'm only really starting to learn real analysis, there is no real use to the actual value of the series. Maybe in statistics or other more applicative fields. The method used to actually calculate it's value is important though. The divergent series you're thinking of is probably the harmonic series 1/x. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

It is possible to make a surface with only one side. Take a long strip of paper, give it a half twist, and join it at the ends into a circle. This may seem like it has two sides, but if you take a pen, place it anywhere on the surface, and start moving the pen in a continuous line around the surface, you will draw on both sides of the paper. This is called the Mobius Strip. A closed, one sided surface with no holes is possible. Such a surface has no volume (yes, even though it's closed) and it does not intersect itself. If you try to imagine this surface, you will fry your brain. This surface cannot be constructed in less than 4 dimensions. This is known as the Klein Bottle. The infinite sum of 1/n^2 converges to pi^2/6. This is extremely difficult to demonstrate. In fact, the calculation of that limit is considered one of the turning points of mathematics to the abstract analysis we have today. This is because it requires Fourier calculus, which was considered mostly a curiousity and wasn't taken seriously until it solved this very difficult problem. Fourier used abstract reasoning in his method akin to what we use today. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

I actually had to go to msdn.microsoft.com and find out how that crap plugs itself into IE to clean this one. However, I'd rather not give instructions about this type of removal over the forums because it's too easy to misunderstand. You need to manipulate your registry, and the stuff you're working with could easily break your IE, which is not easily reinstallable. If someone really needs to remove some crap from their system that neither Spybot nor Ad-aware will take, PM me and I'll help you personally. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

Well, it could translate into several forms, of course.

I received an email from what looked like my bank today. Coincidentally, what was written sounded like something I dealt with recently. I opened the attachment. You can guess what happened then. Now I'm getting internet explorer popups every 5 minutes or so, while I'm trying to work. Thankfully, I know how to deal with this. In case someone around here doesn't know what to do, this might help. Go to www.lavasoft.de and download a program called Ad-aware. It's like an antivirus for spamware. Run it and have it erase everything it finds. Then run it again, until nothing is left. If you have Kazaa installed, Ad-aware will break it. This is because Kazaa comes with about three different spamware programs. If this happens, go to http://www.k-lite.tk/ and download Kazaa Lite. This is a free version of Kazaa which is exactly the same as the original Kazaa except it doesn't have any of the spamware crap in it. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.
