- my garmin has free traffic from a national company, gives me alerts about the traffic via a radio signal it picks up. - tRuMaN Jul 16, 08:55 7
  - free? I thought I had to pay for that for my garmin. not true? -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 08:56 6
    - depends on the garmin. mine, a 605, has it free. others you have to buy it. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 16, 08:57 5
      - err, 765. I it tells me where the traffic issue is, and the estimated delay, and offers a reroute. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 16, 08:58
      - follow up: Is it good enough that you would pay for it? -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 08:57 2
        
        it was one of the features I was looking for (free lifetime traffic) - tRuMaN Jul 16, 09:08 1
        
        I wish I had done more research. didn't know that was an option. It would be good in DC. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 09:08

  - No clue. I remeber seeing an ad for one brand. -- nm - lileve Jul 16, 08:51 1
    - I think you are right about Tom TOm. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 08:51
  - I think the system gathers data from users. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 08:50 4
    - wait, the units talk to each, not the drivers...that would make more sense... -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 08:51 3
      - I thought the system was "learning" favorite routes, rather than map routes. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 08:52 2
        
        most current ones do that, no matter what the brand. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 16, 08:56 1

    - Testify! -- nm - Spawn Jul 16, 08:53
    - Can I get a witness? -- nm - Jim Jul 16, 08:49 5
      - I was *just* going to say this. somehow I think that rap music has kept word at least a little relevant. "word" is also spelled correctly and doesn't - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 16, 08:52 4
        
        Now you know how I feel about "jamming". (nm) - musubi Jul 16, 08:58 1

  - I first saw it on Usenet in the mid-90s. Dilbert popularized it in the late 90s I think. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 08:39 4
    - That doesn't really matter to me. And doesn't change the validity of the B2 posts you're referring to and trying to prove wrong. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 16, 08:43 1
      - you're welcome to hate it. I hate lots of words people say here. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 08:43
    - I love this. The tradition must be carried on. -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 08:41 1

- The more I hear about the Twilight series, the more I wonder if it's actually satire. -- nm - Roger More Jul 16, 08:41
- are those exact quotes? If so the writer should be flogged. -- nm - Beaker Jul 16, 08:38 1
  - she should be, but for entirely different reasons. that's me paraphrasing. -- nm - mafic Jul 16, 08:41
- Ican see that. For me, it was the end of the first sentence. -- nm - Spawn Jul 16, 08:37 2
  - yeah they're shit, but I'm willing to read shit as long as it's relatively internally consistent. see also: dan brown. -- nm - mafic Jul 16, 08:39 1
    - lawyers of the world salute you. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 08:48

- Absolutely. Government works best when it's most open. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 16, 08:39
- I like the idea of cameras in the courtroom, but if they are allowed, there should be some sort of delay, 24 hrs perhaps. - znufrii Jul 16, 08:38
- sure. could we vote for our favorite justice too? -- nm - Guy Jul 16, 08:36
- yes. -- nm - Beaker Jul 16, 08:36
