When NK falls and the full extent to which its people have been oppressed is revealed, the entire civilized world will hang its head in shame over how long this abomination has been allowed to exist.
You would think that given the importance of finding the problem here, they would have teams working in parallel looking at all the possible causes. They probably do, but the reporters just don't understand.
That's like saying having a spate of burglaries on your block convinced everyone to install alarm systems so now the neighborhood is a little bit more secure.
The Kiosks where you get the bikes cost $40,000 to $50,000. The bikes themselves costs $1000. It will cost about a quarter of a million dollars a year to operate, a cost the membership fee doesn't even pretend to cover.
But that's OK, I made up for it it by misremembering the Commuter Rail costs. One hundred six million to build...on existing tracks! Guess how many people ride it per day. One thousand, seven hundred. Nice huh? It takes an hour to reach downtown from the outer most suburbs...me too...in my car.
To run about 10 miles via the route and maybe 3 miles as the crow flies.
Go ahead, defend it. Oh...and to a one, the City Council, which spends all this money, are Democrats. The Mayor has this dream that everyone will move to downtown and live in $400,000 lofts.
We have a 20 million dollar "commuter rail" that transports maybe a few hundred a day. Of course, it loses money.
They just decided to pay millions of dollars on a "bike sharing" program that involves bike shelters costing hundreds of thousands of dollars each. They charge people to participate, but the fees don't come close to paying for it.
The voters have twice turned down a Bond that would fund home shelters and other low income stuff, but the City Council has directed staff to prepare for another election. They'll get their Bond money (and go into debt) no matter how many times it takes.
The are also looking at Light Rail down town. No matter it doesn't make sense and costs Billions, they want to be like all the other " grown up and enlightened cities".
The State Government, on the other hand is debating on how to spend surplus money or just save for the next session.
Actually, it should be "Raise taxes and those taxed will find legal ways to avoid them; ways that the morons in Congress never anticipated." (not legals)
No, I said nothing abut avoiding civilization. You inferred that from my statement that the more Congress tried to raise taxes, the more ways people would find ways around it.
Not sure how you got from A to B, there really in no path there.

Democrat Underground is down the hall on the left.
Meanwhile, they learn the local language and culture.
Wasn't my experience in CA in the 80's
Self segregating, separate clubs, etc. Some were even hostile...just try getting a date with one of "their" women.

And here I though watching porn was going to get a bunch easier.
There is a sweet spot between paranoia and complacency in which all reasonable men should dwell.
The State is a wild animal that must be kept on a leash, yet can do great good when properly trained and handled correctly.
I guess we need those Rocket Launchers after all eh?
There was something like this that just happened in Houston.
What potential threat do they believe is coming that requires attack helicopters to respond and support?
" Attention has now shifted..."
You would think that given the importance of finding the problem here, they would have teams working in parallel looking at all the possible causes. They probably do, but the reporters just don't understand.
So that's a great big "Nuh Uhhh" from the AC eh?
Do as I say, not as I do is pathetic.
Don't lecture people about something you are not prepared to do yourself.
It's more a case of do as I say, not as I do.
Nice.
An A.C. all lathered up about Full Disclosure.

One has to ask, why would he release the code?
What was the point?
What was the benefit?
David Litchfield, the researcher who found the bug and wrote the exploit code that was later taken by Slammer's authors and used as part of the worm."
"Researcher"
I don't think that word means what they want it to mean.
See above
Take away (insert major industry here) and see how any state does.
Automobile Industry (Michigan)
Financial Industry (New York)
Farming (Midwestern states)
Tourism Industry (CA, FL, etc.)
What a moronic argument.
"on your own if something bad happens"
That's why we have insurance.
Alright all you people who don't believe, here are the "Citations Needed".
I misremembered about the bike stuff .

They want to do it again, but this time at the cost of Half a Billion Dollars.

Nutzos! Were talking Big Time Nut jobs!
So you're just going to pitch your kids out onto the porch at 18 and say Good Luck?
What a parent.
Austin is afflicted wit the same disease as CA.

I merely followed you dumbass tangent.
My mistake.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
DFW is NOT New York City by any means. Much more civilized and respectful. Saner tax policies and less crime.
I want no part of New York or North Eastern "Civilization".
YOU jumped from my initial statement to avoiding civilization. I merely expressed a disdain for what many people consider "our civilization".
Actually, it should be "Raise taxes and those taxed will find legal ways to avoid them; ways that the morons in Congress never anticipated."
(not legals)
Not sure about the semi-colon, maybe a comma?
Perhaps a Grammar Nazi could offer some insight.
