Thanks for explaining this for us. What is missing from this compared to what I see on the roads is trucks. The truckers always leave large gaps and it's a sure bet that jerks will cut in front of these rigs. I don't think the trucks are leaving that much space to "smooth out" the traffic but it's more a matter of safety and efficiency (saves fuel) when all the nimble passenger vehicles are stop and go and zipping all over the place. Truck drivers are so patient, they have to be, especially in rush hour I've seen cars jump in front constantly and the trucks keep making more space for them. The other half of people seem to just follow at the same pace instead of cutting in front, and every time some one does cut in front it slows them down another 2 seconds. So my theory is aggressive drivers aren't much affected by trucks but easy drivers are slowed down because they won't get in front... But if nobody gets in front of the trucks then everyone makes it at the same time. Basically the trucks are blockers for the aggressive drivers, so if you use them they'll get you home ahead of others. I don't imagine any truckers are on HN?

Whoa me too, in about 15 years of surfing the web I've never noticed any .int TLD. Not old enough for .arpa but this is cool. I would have not seen this without your pointing it out. Thanks for the life experience! ;) With mobile browsers these days most of the time the URL isn't even shown.. So I hope everyone can appreciate this

The headline was very misleading fud indeed... ironically after reading this I have the strange craving for fresh tuna, or even a guided tuna trip off the pacific coast. I'm convinced its delicious and safer than a banana. Was this some kind of tuna industry media reverse psychology?

The estimate of 2007 being the end of it assumes the devices were plugged in and being used the whole time, right? I still see bad caps happen at some of our clients, but they are old machines that aren't powered on all the time...
