3/9 If I get a few moving violations from my motorcycle, will it
affect my car insurance rate? What about the reverse? Just curious.
\_ hell, getting violations on your bicycle (for which you need no
license) can affect your rate.
\_ So I have always wondered about this. What if when the cops
pull you over on your bike, you refuse to give them your
driver's license? You are not required to carry ID, are they
just going to arrest you for not being able to prove your
identity? Perhaps when you bicycle, you should carry an ID
other than a driver's license.
\_ People like Tom just carry a California ID, no big deal.
You know not everyone in the state has a driver's license.
\_ If they are pulling you over for a moving violation they
have the right to know your identity. If you can't
give them some proof that you are who you say you are they
have the right to take you in to determine you identity.
It isn't being arrested though.
\_ This is basically correct. One thing I am not sure about
is whether bicycle moving violations show up on your
driving record. Cops say that a fair amount, but cops
generally have little idea what the law is, and I haven't
been able to find any code which is explicit on the matter.
It's hard to believe that a 14-year-old who gets a ticket
for running a stop sign on his bike would start with
points on his driver's license.
I'm relatively certain that motorcycle violations would
show up, though. -tom
\_ I would argue from a practical implemntation standopint
that they would. Bicycle violations are so rare that
I think the state wouldn't bother differentiating them
from normal motorized vehicle ones in their record
keeping and processing methods. -ERic |

3/10 Oklahoma Rep Sally Kerns thinks teh gay is the "biggest threat
our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam". Hear her
full on "not gay bashing" rant on youtube. Did you know they
"indoctrinate" 2 year olds into the "lifestyle" and it spreads like
cancer?
http://preview.tinyurl.com/23azxm (wonkette)
\_ So what? We need fewer breeders. This planet has 5.5B too many
people on it already.
\_ And yet the "gays will destroy the human race because they
don't reproduce" argument is actually attempted with a
straight [pun intended] face
\_ Actually, isn't the think these people fear that gays will
breed (e.g. T. FORD) but that their kids will be gay? |

3/10 When Mom or Dad Asks To Be a Facebook 'Friend' - washingtonpost:
http://csua.org/u/l02
"I am excited to make a new friend so I click on the link. I could not
believe what I saw. My father! This is an outrage!"
\_ I think kids under 18 have to expect this and deal with it. Kids
over 18 absolutely have a right to privacy. I am more scared to
unexpectedly find my *parent's* facebook page.
\_ If that 18 year old is living at home, then no, not really. He
who has the gold makes the rules and all that. |

3/10 I love this expose of the liberal media circle.
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/7060
thinkprogress -> media matters -> Keith Olbermann -> media matters ->
new york times
\_ So if I go on national tv and ask if George Bush rapes little
boys that's totally just you know, sillyness?
\_ You haven't watched the clip, obviously. -emarkp
\_ Even if done in jest, it is the sort of thing that adds up.
Especially when done on a serious news program.
\_ Sorry, you're an idiot. Beck has called the people who are
asking if Obama is the Anti-Christ, "crazy" and "nutjobs".
Mockery and sarcasm are common and reasonable ways to express
an opinion. -emarkp
\_ It's the way the mockery and sarcasm are presented. Find
me a talking head asking "Is George Bush a Nazi?" on a
national news show. I doubt you'll find it.
\_ So you still haven't watched the clip? -emarkp
\_ Ah yes, the "liberal media."
\_ Yes, precisely. -emarkp
\_ Exactly how "liberal" did you find the NYTimes series on WMD?
A little bit, a lot, or extremely? Damn liberals!
\_ How fair did you find the front-page utterly fabricated
smear on McCain? A little bit, a lot, or extremely?
\_ The Times sucks. No disagreement from me. But calling
them the "liberal media" is ignoring reality.
\_ Yes, you're repeatedly denied that they're liberal.
However, they consistently err on the side of
criticizing the right. -emarkp
\_ Except for their years-long crusade on behalf
of the Whitewater investigation, their shameful
series on WMD from Judith Miller, etc...
\_ Ah, I wrote "consistently". My bad. I meant
to say they do so in the overwhelming majority.
-emarkp
\_ I'm not sure what you base this
"overwhelming majority" assertion on.
They infuriate me on a daily basis.
--liberal
\_ Hypothesis: The right is worthy of
criticism more often.
\_ Odd hypothesis, and probably difficult to
test.
\_ Eliot Spitzer, the Democratic mayor of
[prove]
\_ Eliot Spitzer, the Democratic gvrnr of
New York just got busted on a connection
with a prostitution ring (!?). -- ilyas
\_ ... which the Times is doing a huge
story on.
\_ yes. And note, he wasn't
"connected with a prostitution
ring"; he hired a prostitute. -tom
\_ Governor of NY State.
\_ Yes sorry, fixed. -- ilyas
\_ I disagree. They just tend to go after
whoever is in power, which is part of the
role of media as government watchdog. See
the huge above the fold story about Spitzer
right now. It has just been so long since
the Democrats were in power, that people
have forgotten the role the NYT played in
attacking Clinton, Rostenkowski, etc. The
NYT might be slightly more liberal than
most, but that is just a reflection of
their readership. Overall, they are just
another big corporation, controlled by
billionaires and in the business of selling
ads. Why do you believe otherwise?
\_ If their role is to go after those in
power, why did they play such a major
role in aiding and abetting the WMD
shenanigans and in going into Iraq in
the first place?
\_ War against a foreign country only
happens when the moneyed classes think
they are going to profit from it.
-George Orwell
\_ I guess I've never seen Keith Olbermann before, he looks like he's
made of plastic. |

3/10 The Long Johns on the credit crisis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ_qK4g6ntM
\_ Very funny! Is subprime a unique problem in the US? Or
is it widespread to other countries?
\_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Rock
\_ Northern Rock did not underwrite sub-prime
loans. They ran out of cash when the short-term money
markets dried up. Giving people a loan w/o confirming
their income, and the investment banks'
securitization conduits w/o regard to underwriting
and risk were mostly Americans'
stupidity/genius. Those burned overseas bought our
mortgage bonds.

3/10 Is there a reliable way to control spam on soda?
Can someone write an "any undergrad can do it" level FAQ? Thanks.
\_ echo "/dev/null" > ~/.forward
\_ I use Thunderbird to check my soda mail.
\_ Forward to gmail. Let google's spam filter work for you.
\_ I use spamassassin. I just checked and it caught all but one of
the 358 (!) pieces of spam I was mailed today. I only had two
legit emails though, so perhaps answer #1 is better for me.
I actually forward my csua email to google, as well, which
does further filtering.
