HP Kills Off Utility Data Center
pacopico writes "HP's much hyped and highly-regarded UDC system has gone the way of the dodo. The Register charts the technology's demise and points to the few other reporters who covered UDC's end. Spent some time at HP checking out UDC and am sad to see it go. Ahead of its time to be sure."

DEC what now?

Okay, the topic goes on slowly and the question has 99.9% chance of not passing as "ask slashdot" story anyway.
Okay, what decent Free (F, not f) MP3 player would you suggest for use with WinNT4.0 (at work)? Or should I just forget it and go with Winamp?

Most people are familiar with the current Dallas and Houston Tollway Systems. To illustrate one problem with the Austin Plan, compare Toll Road Miles per million people: Houston has 17, the city of Dallas has 13, and Austin will have more than 113! If you look at the Dallas and Houston maps, you'll notice those cities, (as other cities with toll roads throughout the United States) have a simple loop or E/W and N/S tollways as additional "new" road options. The toll plans we all know in the past are built with investor dollars, and they complement the existing highways. The toll plans we all know in the past are built with investor dollars, are new roads, took years to carefully plan and they complement the existing highways. The Austin toll plan is built with our tax dollars and the toll roads become our existing highways. The Austin plan was rushed and approved within 3 months. If this doesn't look like a boondoggle, what does?
The Austin Toll Plan - Download Larger Map:
Shifts allmost every local Highway to Toll Roads.
Uses Billions of our tax dollars to finance the Toll Roads. In the past Toll Roads were built with 80% bonds...these toll roads are built with 80% of our tax dollars.
Seizes over $100 Million of our tax financed roads/projects in Austin and converts them to Toll Roads. See .pdf
It's not a transportation solution, it's a "Revenue Generator", a Boondoggle for special interests.
