  1. Re:Let me tell you about the One Big Union on U2's Manager Calls For Mandatory Disconnects For Music Downloaders · · Score: 1

    It probably wasn't fair to mention Haymarket. There is defiantly lots of doubt on who started that, but I personally believe it was the anarchists. I'm kind of curious why you hope I don't consider myself a libertarian.

    Its also fair to point out that the IWW is deeply in bed with anarchists and hard line socialists. There is a reason why they aren't mainstream anymore. Here in Dallas the local chapter won't allow anyone from the "ruling class" which they define as anyone with the power to hire or fire people. I'm looking for my union to help me band together with my co-workers to get better pay, not to make some lofty statement about the ruling class in America and how we should all be equal. I'd rather not be involved with another Haymarket Square bombing. Thanks again, anarchists, for fucking up a good thing.

    A bunch of anime nerds and trolls on a forum talk bad about Scientology and some of them take it too far and make a press release? I think I'll file that in the "don't care" bin. Its pretty sad how people can take the *chans seriously, almost as sad as when anon takes itself seriously

    The only time I've seen a toll road without a free counter part was highway 90 (I believe that was it. I was taking it from Cleveland to Boston) in upstate New York and that won't apply to this cause I doubt there is ever rush hour traffic on that road. And as for the pollution in neighborhoods, which is worse? Cars driving through on a major local street or cars sitting in traffic for much longer wasting more gas and putting off more emissions on the near by highway?

  5. Re:motorists being forced off the road and into bu on IBM Patents Pricing Motorists Off Highways · · Score: 1

    Lets say someone has a 1 hour commute taking side roads. But they save 10 min taking the toll road, which is low balling it. 20 min a day 100 min a week 500 min a year
    A lot of people would love to be able to just get a little of the time the waste in the car back and thats a fair price to pay. No one is forcing you to take these roads and you still have plenty of options open to get there. You still have side streets, car pooling, mass transit. And these are all positive outcomes compared to everyone sitting in dead lock in the highway. And as for extinction of the middle class, I've got no loyalties to some economic class that I've been put in. Something tells me the middle class is resilient enough that a toll booth that charges depending on the demand isn't going to kill us all off.

    Oh God I know. Only those rich fat cats will be able to afford the huge sums of money those toll boths will demand. Oh think of it, it might peak out to a ungodly amount like a dollar. Maybe those capitalist pig dogs will demand two. Oh the humanity.

    That if you really need to get somewhere you take the tollway to get there faster. Tollroads always have less traffic than their free counter parts. You pay a little bit to get their faster. I hate the morning commute enough that I'll pay a little extra for a road like this. And on the other hand I always feel like a moron when I'm taking a tollroad home at 3AM and I'm the only one on the road. I'm glad to pay to different charges for the two different times

    If ya want stories that matter(slightly more) filter out the games section and stories posted by kdawson. Thats why those options are there for you. I come here for tech news, but I've also been excited about this game. So its a bonus. I'm sure I'm not the only person here who is excited about it.

    Plus you can't compare this to digg until we started getting a millions stories titled "MOST AMAZING _______ YOU WILL EVER SEE [PIC]" with the blank being either being ridiculous multi-monitor displays or a gallery of crappy wall papers. Even /. is slightly better than digg about the "SOMEONE AT CONICAL SNEEZED: THAT MEANS LINUX IS READY FOR THE DESK TOP" stories.

    The gas station on my way home from school has something similar. It blares audio only ads, but it has a mute button on it so I have no problem. Hitting the mute button has been as much of my gas pumping routine as hitting "no" for that car wash they are always trying to pimp.

    We had a similar idea at the turn of the century with sterilizing criminals, the mental ill and retarded. It worked out well for us. So well that it was a major inspiration for The Final Solution in Germany. This "strip away one of the poor's most basic rights" sounds about on par with that. Sounds fun.

    Once I was with my family driving around looking at lights when we saw one house that had a huge nativity scene set up in their front yard. It had Mary, Joesph, the wise men, the whole nine yards. But it also had a huge fucking grim reaper behind the manager leaning over it all. I guess they were too lazy to take down the Halloween decorations all the way before setting up for Christmas, or they were just ape shit insane. Probably a little of each

    FTFA:

    Thinking that a prowler was roaming his back yard, a resident of the home, identified only as Doug B. in the district attorney's complaint filed in court, walked outside with a kitchen knife as SWAT officers from the Orange County Sheriff's Department waited with assault rifles.
    He thought they were prowlers at first and tried to defend them himself and then droped the knife when he figured out who it was. I imagine this is pretty standard among people who have their houses raided by the police. And no I don't want to find out, so no "hacking". ;)

    As another poster has pointed out, the article makes it sound like this "hack" was just caller ID spoofing which is pretty disapointing.
