but if the bus isn't wide enough would have to split into segments
- might hurt if it's a slow bus or long time late-ency

They use number schemes like that to prevent ram raiding.

Yes but they should put more attention to the quality thant to the speed. Getting a car through badly numbered streets is a hard drive.

Quote:
The Movement is loyal to a train of thought, not figures or institutions. In other words, the view held is that through the use of socially targeted research and tested understandings in Science and Technology, we are now able to logically arrive at societal applications which could be profoundly more effective in meeting the needs of the human population. In fact, so much so, that there is little reason to assume war, poverty, 95% of most crime and many other money-based scarcity effects common in our current model cannot be resolved over time.

While I applaud the idealism, I worry that this train might be bound for glory with some loco motives.

«Differences between Big-Endians, who broke eggs at the larger end, and Little-Endians gave rise to six rebellions: one Emperor lost his life, another his crown. The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. Big-Endians gained favor in Blefuscu.» J. Swift, 'Gulliver's Travels,' 1726CE

Watching items like this, I always try to understand the underlying agenda. This item smacks of a kind of nihilism: Being anti - progress and anti - man.

I can't just be me ... but my memory is weird.

Allow me to explain: yesterday I was out with the wife at a place called Dinefwr: it's an 800 acre Estate that is run by the UK National Trust as a "living museum", and they allow - nay, encourage - you to touch the exhibits. So you can feel the fabrics, try on the hats, sit on the furniture, feel the weight of a chain mail shirt. You can open drawers and check out the dovetails, play the piano, whatever - except for one are that is roped off as the Stuffed Ox Head in the Stockman's Office was preserved with Arsenic and they don't want dead visitors.

But ... we went by coach as part of a group she's involved in, and I realised that we camped not far from it for a week back in the nineties. And I could remember the roads. Really clearly: "It dips here, then rises, at the peak it bends sharply to the left (watch out for a bump near the apex), then down to a fast left-right-left to the short straight before ... "
I'm sure you know the type, particularly if you ride motorcycles. But it was about twenty years ago that I last rode there, so why would my memory recall it so clearly? I have difficulty getting it to remember phone numbers and dates, faces and names, but it happily stores complete GPS info for a road I rode on maybe 7 or 14 times 20 years ago?

Does this happen to anyone else, or is it just me?

The first thing would be that the brain does not store images or something as clumsy. It stores a description which can later be used to reconstruct the original information, with interesting ways to fill in the blanks where information got lost in some way.

It could be as simple as that this particular impression lent itself well to this approach or that 'filling in the blanks' worked very well, giving you an impression similar to a deja vu.
