    Since when would increasing funding for mass transit in preference to highways take away your ability to drive?

    It will not. But if you have confortable public transportation, quiet, with free electricity and Wifi, and twice faster as a car, why would you drive? I think US, which more than 50% richer, can afford 1st class seats of the ICE, Shinkansen, TGV, or second class of newer french regional trains. Combine that with decent and frequent buses and metro.

    God, that's the truth. I've got this ugly desk with my cinema display, and the desk just looks like crap compared to everything else. See for yourself:

    Any way you slice it, the compuer always looks better than the desk. I'm trying to find a decent glass desk to compliment the computer, but then I'll need to see about getting rid of the crappy carpet in here.

  15. Main reason I ordered one... by berniecase · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Interview With iMac designer, Jonathan Ive

    I've ordered an iMac mainly because it's not much larger than the Pismo PowerBook I used to put on my desk, compared now with the Blue & White G3 I have (which takes up a lot more space). Then you have the G4 under the dome, with SuperDrive, and 60GB of space and it looks like a good computer.

    I don't use my computer for gaming so much, anyway. That's what my PS2 is for. And, I'm more interested in using my computer for organizing media (pictures, mp3s, movies) and using it as my MP3 playback server using iHam on iRye. The iMac will serve this purpose very well.

    Besides, it looks great.

  18. Re:My Generation's "Kennedy was Shot" moment by berniecase · · Score: 1 · on The Challenger

    I was 7 years old, and in the second grade. We had combined 2 classes that day to watch Where the Red Fern Grows, and half-way through the teacher came on and told us what had happened. She hooked up a cable feed to the TV and the entire class watched in silent horror to see what had happened.

    Nothing could have a more profound affect on my young life at the time. It was unbelievable.

    --Bernie
