There's a reason why SOME traffic lights switch to blinking yellows at night, and there is a reason why some other do NOT. Risking killing yourself and possibly other people to save what will be 15-20 seconds at the absolute most is a pretty terrible lottery to play.
*Edit* True in America, Not sure about the rest of the world.
I have been running red lights, specifically left on red in a 4 way intersection, for ~6years now. So far i have no accidents and no tickets. At empty intersections there is ZERO threat of an accident. At full/semi-full intersections there are times when it is safe assuming you are the only person running the light. The times when it is safe to make a left on red have to do with the position of the green lights and current traffic flows, which with a quick graph theory model will reveal all of the safe times to make a left of red (again assuming your the only one running the light). For example, when your left turn light is red and your straight light is green it is safe to run the red light as long as traffic in the opposite direction allows for. This is because a straight green light disables all other traffic paths except the opposite direction's straight green light (and trivial right turns). Anyways it can be done, and be done safely, with proper knowledge and judgement.
Now lifetip: if you ever use an aluminum can to hold anything (cig butts, chaw spit, trash, ect), you can break the top open to increase the opening. Apply pressure to the original opening with your elbow to the point where it rips the aluminum at the the top *CAUTION* this could crush the can if you do it wrong, in which case you need the reflexes of someone alive to not hurt yourself (its not that hard). With the aluminum at the top ripped, cover your thumb with your shirt and fold it down, while following the edge of the can.
If you chew tobacco this is a huge tip, if not it then its probably not worth cutting yourself on the aluminum.
God I hate people like you so fucking full of their mad driving skills that they think it's safe to just disobey traffic rules because they think they're one step ahead 24/7.

Absolutely terrible advice. Earlier this year, this is how I lost my car due to an idiot running the same red left turn you mentioned. The messed up part was the person who ran the red light sued me for going straight on green stating that I was running the red light and she had a green turning arrow. After I got letters from her insurance stating that they done a full investigation and that she had a witness that I ran a red light which was all bullshit. I went back to the intersection and found out that there was no green turning light in existence and she was indeed making a left on a red light to beat traffic. Seriously I hate idiots who love endangering other people lives because they can't seem to value theirs. PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS AWFUL ADVICE!

Wow there are a lot of interesting things on this thread. I'll be sure to try out many of them. Here are a few of mine 1) Most of the time I remember important things I have to get to, while I'm having my morning shower, so what do is. I put my bottle of body wash or shampoo on the floor of my shower. Once my shower is done, I'll be more likely to remember what I had to do. 2) If you really need to wake up the next morning at 7:00am. Wake up at 6:00am and drink an energy shot/drink. And try to go back to bed. You will most likely not be able to sleep for more than 30 minutes to an hour. 3) Yes net books can play Broodwar. If my 200 dollar net-book can do it, so can yours. 4) If you have a sore throat, or a throat that tickles. Try chewing mint gum, I don't know what it is, but mint gum seems to numb out the pain. Avoid fruit flavored mints and gums, for some reasons they make the condition worse. 5) If you didn't wipe correctly and start feeling irritation, roll up some toilet paper with many folds and slightly wet it and wipe. You may need to do this a few more times, and I believe baby powder works fine as well. 6) Buy a room heater, when it gets cold in winter it will save money and your room will heat up within minutes. 7) If your having trouble sleeping because of a scary movie, just sleep with the lights on. 8) Pre pay phone cards with no contracts are indeed cheaper 9) Skype is indeed cheaper than landlines. 10) Blog, comment, or rate. Stop being a darn lurker! EDIT: Try using paper towels, instead of toilet paper, since paper towels don't rip when wet.
When you get your haircut ask for a rinse afterwards (not shampoo). What its basically a free head massage for a few minutes and gets rid of the clippings in your hair.

And bowls, and cups, and utensils. I'm sort of killing the environment, yes, but the absolute minute effect I have compared to say a corporation makes me feel not even remotely guilty. The amount of shit waste I use in a full year from disposable products is equivalent to the amount of waste one person may individually create in a single week or so.

I think cellphones can play bw now... I just dug up my bw box and quick-start guide to check the minimum system requirements. Says a Pentium 90 MHz or better processor and at least 16 megabytes of RAM. However 32 bytes of RAM is recommended for mac. It also takes 80 MB of disk space.

Yeah see this is the difference. I was talking about going through badly designed red lights with no one else by you, only when safe to do so. This guy is trying to beat lights in traffic which is TERRIBLE advice. Someone tried this on me last year as well and I hit them. They were found 100% at fault because they turned on a red as I was going through a green. How that guy managed to almost sue you is beyond all common sense.
If you flush the toilet right before your shit comes out, it'll blend the noises together so the guy in the stall next to you doesn't have to hear the awkward *thunk* when your shit hits the water.

I think that's even more awkward because since you're not done, they're just thinking you're taking a MASSIVE shit that needed a reflush midway through.

Just for closure how did that actually end up?
I contacted their insurance and called BS on their investigation. They told me to not sue them but file a claim on their client. I didn't file a claim because I was just glad no one was seriously injured.
