The current rail service is, for all practical matters, just for freight. The only passenger services is on that money losing AmTrak and some tourist trips here and there.
Rail carries gazillions of tons of fright now in multi-modal containers.
Self Driving Trucks that can't handle local traffic are useless.
This issue is something not addressed by Obamacare and is actually completely different from the question of how people get insurance.
One of the fundamental flaws in the old and current system is that it is completely opaque as far as costs go. People needing non-emergency care have no way to determine which provider has the best prices and what they will be charged for. It's like buying a car..you get one price from the Salesman but when you get back into the finance office, you have all this other crap added on that you aren't sure you need or even what it is.
Until this crap is straightened out, consumers will never be able to make informed choices and the people paying the bills, insurance companies or government, will never really know what they are paying for.
Fix this and you are a long way towards a better solution for all involved.
You go ahead and live in your little 1000stft apartments, riding on filthy subways, walking in the heat and the rain from the station to your work/home, getting mugged (by the cops or the bad guys), never really seeing the sun, etc.
I'll stay in my 2,400 sqft home, with deer in the back yard, a nice greenbelt in the neighborhood (where you don't get mugged), the smell of wildflowers, a 10 minute commute (5 minutes to the grocery store), and low crime.
Shitty Outlook integration, the security is a nightmare. It can't even handle multiple domains. Our company had them working our installation for 3 months straight trying to get it to work.
The scientists didn't say anything about a warp drive. They did say the other stuff, as did two other independent teams.
Honestly, it reminds me of fucking managers losing their shit when they inquire about the status of a large project and hear something they didn't expect to hear.
These guys simply reported what they observed and people are losing their shit over it.
It's ironic that Slashdot is objecting to these hearings yet at the same time seemingly against legislation that would mandate that public policy be based on publicly available Science.
A Protest is a perfectly acceptable method of expressing a positions/opinions. In fact, the Bill of Rights explicitly protects it. There is nothing extraordinary about a protest...whether it's over Piss Christ or the fact that a University is going to start charging for chocolate milk.
You might as well point out that people use Ketchup on their hot dogs.
Over 27,000 cycles of data (each 1.5 sec cycle energizing the system for 0.75 sec and de-energizing it for 0.75 sec) were averaged to obtain a power spectrum that revealed a signal frequency of 0.65 Hz with amplitude clearly above system noise. Four additional tests were successfully conducted that demonstrated repeatability.
Except the test results seem to indicate that it does.
But then you are a world class physicist and know better than this NASA team that's been testing this device for years, eh?
Wouldn't a more reasonable person think that there must be some interesting physics going on here instead of poo pooing the idea like a modern day Baron Kelvin.
It was his decision to record music and sell it to the public.
Fixed.
If you enjoyed his work, he happens to have a sale going on...$10 for the album and you can enjoy it anytime you want. You can put it on your computer, ipod, cell phone and enjoy it anywhere.
But if you just download it and do the same, then you are taking money out of his pocket just the same as if you lifted a bag of chips from 7-11.
Slashdot Mirror
There are over 100 million dead people who would pretty much see it as a black and white issue.
I forgot to mention its members are also self deluded.
The Greek System is for people who essentially have no self esteem and have to seek their self worth from a group of like minded losers.
Not sure how much weight a tranny can carry.

Yeah...fuck that.
Holy Hell...
Freight Trains, you know, the topic of this entire article?

If it needs a human in "more populated areas" it's no better than putting trailers on a train and having local drivers pick up the loads there.
Of course trans are more economical and I expect more "environmentally friendly".
CRM Dynamics suck donkey balls..seriously.
Shitty Outlook integration, the security is a nightmare. It can't even handle multiple domains. Our company had them working our installation for 3 months straight trying to get it to work.
Stay away from it.
Odds are you will see this report used in some anti-fracking publication as a reason to completely ban fracking.
So, extremism goes both ways.

He's an old guy. John Carmack is no spring chicken. Steve Capps, Andy Hertzfield, etc.
The only thing I can think of is that you are some kind of mentally challenged retard living in your mom's basement.
Seriously, Fuck You.
Hey, I invite you to come to Texas.
We are having an art exhibit next week. I think you'd like it.

Because so many people have been killed over Piss Christ.
Moron.
I think they have a lot in common with the sideways shooting gang bangers.
What the hell is up with that anyway?
Islamic Porn....before and after pics...Burka, no Burka.
Could be a game show too!
Odds are not many working there have ever heard of AOL or an AOL CD at the checkout stand.
The irony is they are steadily working their way to being another AOL.
Whatever happened to those guys?

Is that enough?
