  1. Re:$100 billion for 150 miles? on Maglev Train Exceeds 600km/h For World Record · · Score: 1

    5% of the fuel cost? Maybe if it's an express route with no stops (which will never happen - every town you want to build through or near demands a stop).
    No security theater? You wish. The TSA would descend upon it faster than flies on shit.
    You still need to get to the train station just as you need to get to the airport. If train stations are more common than airports then you're going to be subjected to stop after stop on your journey. If they're as or less common then it's the same problem as getting to an airport.

    You should've taken a left turn at Albuquerque because you've missed the point by half a fucking continent. Google's practices are akin to the practices MS got busted for (and continues to get busted for).

  3. If there are any Grammar 'experts' out there, could someone tell me if the following sentence is incorrect or correct?

    The case, Rodriguez v. United States, 13-9972, all started with Rodriguez was stopped in Nebraska for driving out of his lane.

    "all" should be removed.
    I'd change "driving out of his lane" to "driving outside his lane", but it's not necessarily wrong.

    Stop calling these things "gumstick". It's not going to happen. Stop trying to make it happen. They're considerably larger than a stick of gum, are not chewy or delicious, and you're a piece of shit for trying to make that term stick.
    Further, who cares? 1.4 GB/sec is nothing noteworthy. This is a /vertisement through and through.

    It is. It takes an explicit effort to remove something from the contract when you're parceling out jobs to subcontractors. It takes explicit effort to remove a major component of the design in your diagrams, models, and plans. It takes an explicit effort to have no one on the staff say anything when it's blindly fucking obvious that thing your building is structurally unsound.

    No they aren't. They feds came down on him recently and couldn't do shit because there is evidence that the supplements he peddles are beneficial as he claims.

    Flavor of the month shit at GMC or Trader Joes's or ground up rhino dick are quackery.
    Actual supplements from reputable sources (so you actually get the supplements you buy) are widely recognized as being beneficial, to the point of us adding them straight to our fucking food so people don't die of iron and iodine deficiency (see table salt, enriched bread, fortified milk etc.). Doctor's prescribe supplements all the fucking time.

    Ban California wine and other ridiculously wasteful agriculture.
    The drought will solve itself once retards stop growing watery-heavy crops and then shipping them out of state, water and all.

    Asked why ESAB did not reinforce the foundation as it was supposed to, May said only it was a result of "a miscommunication between two [Boeing] subcontractors and ESAB."

    Which is why current processes remove as much fluid from the body as possible, inject various chemicals, and freeze as quickly as possible to prevent the formation of ice crystals.

    Animal tests from decades ago show that even "standard" freezing and thawing results in a living, resurrected animal for a few hours.

    100% of web sites could be defined as "malware" by that criterion, because they all depend on sending your data to a remote server.

    Horse shit.
    By definition, data you explicitly send via a GET request (what little there is) is not "data that the user wants to keep private" as it is the user who deliberately and explicitly sent it.
    Further, responding to a GET request does not in any way require spreading that data.

    Are you stating as fact that Google is preventing your bank from publishing their app to the Amazon store (or any other android app stores)? Isn't it more likely the case that your Bank chose to only publish to the Play store?
