Leaving Early May Cost You Time

markmcb writes "OmniNerd has an interesting traffic article demonstrating how leaving early for work may cost you time. Brandon Hansen uses a year's worth of data collected on his urban drive to and from work along with statistical analysis to show the effects of varying departure times and considering external factors like nearby school districts' schedules. In the end, a minor shift in his departure time results in saving driving hours equivalent to over a third of the vacation time given annually by his employer."

What really raises my blood pressure:

[Inoshiro]

Seeing words like "raiseing" in the middle of an otherwise well thought out, referenced piece of writing.

I suppose that's to be expected from, "So good [sic] you'll punch your mom in the face."

1 simple spell check is not too high a price to pay.

If I had my wish..

And how much time will I save?

And how much time would I save if someone would mirror this site so I can read the article now that it is slashdoted?

Independent Journalist writes article detaling 9/11 in depth; is poisoned two days later

http://www.rys2sense.com/anti-neocons/viewtopic.ph p?p=9116

"911 was an inside job which was part of a larger plan for perpetual war hatched in Israel. 911 and the wars in the Middle East were carefully planned attacks carried out by a faction of Zionists neocons and the Israeli Mossad. A lot of films have shown the problems with official 911 story, the demolition of building number 7, which the 911 commission didn't even address, the firemen's reports that the fire was almost out, the numerous reports of secondary explosions etc, many people can recite the arguments in there sleep. But what has been hidden from you and the dots which have not been connected in any 911 films is the Israeli connection. We will start with PNAC and then jump and work backwards from the Iraq War to 911."

However, two days later Ryan Dawson was hospitalized by being poisoned.

"[Ryan] is in the hospital... I was there all night and Day I had to leave. 39.9 C fever and poisons. I do not know how he was poisoned or where it came from."

This is serious; this guy has written a lot of information regarding neoconservativism and other government related articles and after writing a lengthy article detailing Israel's connection to 9/11, suffers from a conveniently timed poisoning. Coincidence, or not?

I hope you understand that nothing is free and that health care in those countries are paid by everybody. I don't know much, but I know that taxes are higher in those countries. The question is: what system is more efficient and take less resources. I think that's open to different interpretations, however one thing is clear to me, I prefer to pay less taxes and prefer people to pay what they consume (including health care) since that's what has proved successful in history and a free economies are performing better than heavy taxed economy and the "distribution or resources" is better when is done by free market than when is done by committees.
