I have the solution. Wait for this to pass, take the GPS receiver out of your car, and mount it in your airplane. The only downside is, you'll be getting a lot of speeding tickets. :shock:

For that matter, how would the system treat an amphibious car?

It would be like dividing by 0, and it would explode.
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

You could cancel every welfare program in the country, including social security, and it wouldn't be enough.

Tracking chips can be sewn into every suit made, and wi-fi surveillance cameras can be installed in every bedroom across the country to make sure nobody is making their beds as well!
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Infected Mushroom wrote:The whole, ''X doesn't have a right to argue Y because they've also said Z'' is a character attack fallacy and not a legitimate debate tactic. Why? Regardless of whether or not X also said Z, the content of point Y deserves its independent analysis of whether or not its a valuable point (the authorship is irrelevant).

To draw an inference about the validity (or lack of) of point Y based on the character or actions of author X, would be prejudicial. Its probative effect (limited to non-existent) would be far outweighed by its prejudicial effect. To infer a lack of validity (or validity) of a point merely on the account of actions or character traits of its authors (which are in of themselves alleged), would be to commit a character attack flaw. Its a distraction from the main issues of the inquiry.

Please don't try to be all technically-minded on any of this, when its been clear for a very long time your primary function in posting any of this is to get a reaction from people - which they continue to give you, in droves, eeeeevery troll-in-sheeps-clothing OP you toss out there. Yes, me included due to my disbelief that so many argue so hard for so little for so long. Every. Damn. Time. Your OPs tend to be disingenuous, full of click-and-respond bait for the NSG forum, and you regularly get personal and then cry foul when anyone else responds even slightly in kind. You regularly ignore pertinent points in favor of vapid responses and pithy counterarguments that do nothing to give a worthwhile answer, and everything to drive the rabid 'take down the 'shroom with logic' mindset.

It's ridiculous, the whole thing. And frankly, I've better things to do having said my piece. Good luck - not that you've needed it in your rather long and spotted career here.
