I live in the UK, so I used to spend a lot of time on trains. Here's some questions that people often forget to ask though...
So you drive to a station in SF and park - where does all this space magically come from for parking? Parking in SF felt like getting mugged, only less kind and polite.
Then you hop onto a train and head for LA... You get there, and then what? How do you get around? You rent a car at the other end? That might be fine for a business traveller, but for someone with kids, etc. that makes it a nightmare. It also negates the cost savings of using mass transport.
Then lets chuck in delays. I don't use trains in the UK any more because I can't afford to. Missing a business meeting costs me money, and on the three occasions (over 5 months) that I used trains for long distance travel, I missed my meetings. That's despite planning to arrive 1 hour early on each occasion! So unless you have 100% confidence in your ability to deliver, no-one is going to use the system.
You need a lot more than just some track. You need convenient mass transit at both ends of the journey, you need a lot of other infrastructure to make this work.
To be fair, most people are too timid in real life to ever confront such a person. And it's worse in the UK where you risk getting stabbed or otherwise killed for asking people to act like decent human beings.
You have left out too costs, costs for cosmetic retouching where you have run the cable, and cost of asprin to dull the headache from your wife whinging at you non-stop for 3 days about when you're going to be done.

The only thing that even comes close is an L1, but that requires that you work for a company with a presence in the UK and the US for at least 1 year, and then have an offer to work for that same company in the US. And it's non-trivial to get, unlike the E3.
Jeez! I can't believe how low the self esteem of the US posters here have got.
As a country, you used to want to be the best in the world. The American people I knew 15 years ago were full of pride, but they were true patriots.
Today, all you want to be is better than China. Or better than North Korea. As a nation, you've forgotten what true patriotism is and what sacrifices freedom requires, and you just want to get by.
Once, you wanted to be great. Now, you just want to be good enough. How sad:(
Does that mean it's ok for me to grind babies to make dog food, as long as my employer demands it ? Even if I make a public statement saying that I don't agree with grinding babies into dog food, I'm still making it happen.
It brought a large smile to my face when I opened the box on my original Dyson (DC08 maybe?) and found along with the instructions for use, a rant about patents and how little they helped when he had to fight a bigger company.
From what I can tell, even though he had patented all of his work, it still cost him an arm and a leg to stop Hoover from just copying and destroying him.
Having said that, I'll never go back to another vacuum cleaner. It's sad, but Dyson has seriously increased the quality of my life. The pet brush and power attachment for the one I have made my house a LOT cleaner than before, and instead of 2 hours (sweep carpets THEN vacuum), I'm now down to 1 hour to do the whole job. And I'm healthier:)
You probably did sign such a document... You would have signed something that said you agreed to abide by the student handbook and some other docs. Any of those could contain the IP clause.
I'm not so sure you should be posting stuff like that here... Forget about the RIAA minions that lurk, think of your pride dammit! Do you really want people to know that you downloaded any of those artists ? yuck:p
I will keep adding them as I see stories posted (but I normally get in late due to my timezone:)).
Hopefully NYCL can start adding these... we just get a list of artists for each label and attach them to the bottom of each story that concerns that label.
Making the artists face up to what is being done in their name will do more damage than ranting about the RIAA.
Yeah, look, I'm really sorry about that... I was really hoping to do a list of awesome artists that people would care about, but I couldn't find any on this label.
On the flip side _someone_ is buying this dross, looking at their album sales.

I've never heard this before. Any references ?
Too costs? WTF are too costs? I meant TOOL costs obviously :D
You have left out too costs, costs for cosmetic retouching where you have run the cable, and cost of asprin to dull the headache from your wife whinging at you non-stop for 3 days about when you're going to be done.
How much less could you care ?

Just hang out at the studio where, as I type this, he is recording his next posthumous album. That man is more prolific than most _live_ people :)

Who knows - there might actually be someone you lot actually like in there
Unfortunate?
That's a sad understatement.

They may have their own label now, but their back catalogue will still most likely be owned by UMG, so UMG will continue to profit from their works.
Please note that the following artist's revenue is helping to fund this action by UMG and the RIAA:
Amy Winehouse
Bon Jovi
Charlatans
Counting Crows
Limp Bizkit
Live
Ocean Color Scene
Puddle of Mudd
Sonic Youth
Texas
The Who
By buying anything from these or any other UMG artist, you are helping to fund these lawsuits. Please stop!
We don't live in a barn, but we do have 2 pets. The hair got stuck in the carpet and even vacuuming (with a number of devices) didn't get it out.
Because of my allergies, we had to sweep first to get all the hair out of the carpet, then vacuum for dust, etc.
It brought a large smile to my face when I opened the box on my original Dyson (DC08 maybe?) and found along with the instructions for use, a rant about patents and how little they helped when he had to fight a bigger company.

And the main reason Double Jeopardy doesn't apply? Because it's a civil case not a criminal case!
Damn this place is sad... Does no-one honour the memory of the great man Leary anymore ? Where's the funny people ?
I'm not so sure you should be posting stuff like that here... Forget about the RIAA minions that lurk, think of your pride dammit! Do you really want people to know that you downloaded any of those artists ? yuck :p
Yeah, but since he's dead now, he can probably still vote there.

I have heard of stories where LINUX has turned off the sun
:D
Those stories are all true. I have personally witnessed Linux turning off about 200 suns.
We replaced them all with better performing, cheaper Linux boxes and saved a fortune on per CPU licensed software as well
You left out a bit... FOAD
