This is CLASSIC literature, it should not be censored in any way! I was shocked when a few weeks ago I saw the early version of "Huckleberry Finn" on THiS-TV network, and they BLEEPED the word "nigger" from the character's name "Nigger Jim" when Huckleberry Finn said it. Inexcusable and should almost certainly be protected by the First Amendment (at least here in the USA).
Yup - look at the "Green Line" in Los Angeles... Goes up to one miles from LAX... AND STOPS. THEN you have to take a taxi and/or bus. Period. (unless you wish to hike a mile with luggage/family in tow). It's all politics. (Kind of unrelated to the original post about photographing it, but related to some of the feedback). The Green Line was STOPPED from going all the way to the airports by taxi unions, primarily. The bus service kind of already existed, but only runs every hour or so.
When I fly out of Fort Lauderdale, I take the "Tri-Rail" up there, which, granted, the station is over a mile from the airport, but the "Tri-Rail" used EXISTING tracks when it went into service, and the bus that takes you (for FREE) to the airport, runs about every 10-15 minutes. (btw, it's a "full sized" train, so it'd be a little more difficult to "extend" to the airport, when it continues on for another 100 miles or so, than it would be to make a NEW construction, like the Green Line in L.A., to go straight to the airport)
Actually the last bunch of rent-a-cops Miami-Dade hired (Wackinoff...er...hutt...whatever) - just got fired for overcharging the county 100's of thousands of dollars a year.
County/government screws us, private industry screws them right back. Nobody can win.
Here in the states, it's actually publicly/government owned and operated, but they contract a private security company to sleep in their cars at each station (er, sorry, I mean, to make sure nobody jumps over the turnstiles).... But the SERVICE itself, is government owned...
....and again... the Metro in Miami doesn't GO anywhere even remotely interesting... IF someone were to blow it up (no, I'm not suggesting someone does, relax DHS), it wouldn't do much harm....
Living in Miami, the Metro-Fail (er, Rail), is pretty much worthless anyway. It doesn't go to the airport, or, for the matter, anywhere else useful. It's long been said, the Metro-Rail was built so the people in the Kendall area (southern point) could go up to north Miami (northern point) to buy drugs - and for the most part, I still agree (though, personally, don't do drugs).
Regardless, look up WHERE the Metro in Miami goes. It's one of the worst designed rail systems in the WORLD (well, ok, L.A.'s isn't much better - another failure that somehow doesn't go to the airport).
Don't install 10.1 if you have even a slightly older video card. I'm running a Core2Duo with 4gb, my video card is a nVidia 9600GSO (about a year old!). Flash 10.1 causes green artifacts with online Flash playback now (10 didn't).
Even their release notes say they "fixed green artifact on some video cards". Apparently, they didn't fix it on others. No convenient way to "roll-back" to 10, either.
Flash 10.1 is Yi Da Tuo Da Bian. (words from FIREFLY - look it up:) )
... but having been a victim of bullying in school myself (many MANY moons ago), I say give them all the chair - get them out of the gene pool NOW, before it's too late.
ummmm.... Darwin Awards ( www.darwinawards.com ) is still up and fully functional and still handing out awards, albeit posthumously.... Girl that started it is from "near me"... More power to her:D
Seems to be the problem with the environment - VANITY.... People must drive their Hummers and Mercedes and Ducatis.... Keep driving them, and your precious roads will be half under water in no time as the polar icecaps melt (ok, maybe not much to worry about with the diesel Hummers, but still). Drive an Eko - and you'll still have roads to ride it on...
I'll take two....
Someone needs to check this guy's bank statement - because they ONLY way I would recommend -switching- to a Microsoft product, is if I were getting paid for it....
This is like the story of a 22yr old woman innocently filming her sister's bday party, and accidentally capturing part of the new "Twilight"....and subsequently being arrested... Except this is MUCH worse - because now this guy is going to jail, AND be branded (anyone read "The Scarlet Letter"...or know any lepers?) as a "Sex Offender"..
I myself have accidentally downloaded files I suspect were illegal - but never intentionally. Thanks to FrostWire's preview feature, I was able to see them for what they were, before they completed. Thanks to File Shredder (to which I have no affiliation), I was able to rid myself of that garbage. (make sure you wipe the "preview" file, too!:> )
The government is going TOO far... Go after the people MAKING this shit and ruining kids lives, and the people that download it INTENTIONALLY. A deleted file should say, right there and then, that the person was trying to OBEY the law. Files on the internet/p2p are like buying stuff off TV - you SEE what you're supposed to get, but when it gets there, it's something TOTALLY different.
Actually Muvico is rather large in the south Florida (Miami-Dade/Broward/Palm Beach) area... I've still never been to a Muvico - and thanks to this post - never will. 'nuff said.
....but WHO the frak is Justin Bieber, and do we care if he gets trampled?
Granted, being arrested for not "tweeting" is a wrong on so many levels it's not even funny (I don't have a twitter account, don't plan on getting one any time soon), but still....
There goes my Rum and Coke, with my Jager & Red Bull chaser..... (Kidding! I'd never corrupt Jager by mixing it with Red Bull... Drink it straight, like a man!:> )
Just google "linux rogue" - there are numerous versions, but use the KISS methodology for choosing your flavor.... Beware of Grues.... Oh wait, wrong game...
I'm sitting here wondering how many people are on Microsoft's payroll and/or getting kickbacks or some various other form of compensation, for giving this "new" product such rave reviews....
I've been using AVG (both free and purchased) for YEARS, and have had NO issues and NO viruses/trojans/malware....
Sorry to be skeptical about a Microsoft product, but I DO still use Windows, so I know full well of what kind of bad programming they're capable of releasing....

All the more reason for the mandatory aluminum foil hat :)
When one steps upon the soap-box, one should know the distinction between "have" and "half".
Everything I delete gets shredded, once you click OK there is no going back...

Robots are known as Robots. ROV's are known as Remotely Operated Vehicles. This is a human's fault, not a machine's.
