    Put your blinker on immediately, there's an abutment there.

    If they had this in the 80's, Bonfire of the Vanities would never have been published (or filmed, what a disaster of a film.)

    This and the pull about the baby on the corner were very nice. RIP Dave Chappelle('s career) :(

    I used to work at a TV station in a neighborhood so shitty that pizza places refused to deliver there.

    I was standing out front one night, about to go home, when a co-worker pulled into the parking lot. A cop was right behind her. The officer stopped in front of me and asked "She's new, right?" I told him she was, it was her first week. He said "Let her know -- she doesn't EVER want to drive through the neighborhood she was just in."

    The bigger issue is that this sort of thing is patented at all.

    Most software developments should probably be the territory of copyright or trademark law, not patent law.

    I was slightly frightened driving through your 'hood. I still think we witnessed a kidnapping.

    There is nothing more dangerous than driving in a town with mothers tooling around in Suburban's while talking on the cell phones. This should also be an avoid option.

    We may have. But at least they didn't get US. And I didn't SEE any weapons. And I'm no snitch.
