  1. Schedule = work of art? on New York MTA Asserts Copyright Over Schedule · · Score: 0

    Does this mean the MTA concedes their schedule is a work of creative fiction?

  2. Re:1 Million split 7 ways on Netflix Prize May Have Been Achieved · · Score: 0

    First burn 70 large for laffs. Then say the prize isn't impressive. In that order.

  5. Not quite ready yet on Public Notices Going Online, Not In Newspapers · · Score: 1

    First off, notice in printed media will probably never disappear completely. Online notices over time will simply be added to the required list of places to post. Along with the additional requirement, state-based legislation will likely address issues such as data retention and external review.

    Not possible to spin control when you don't control the media anymore.

  9. In Melbourne AUS on Your Commuting Costs By Car Vs. Train? · · Score: 1

    I don't own a car, and I live in a suburb about 20 miles out of Melbourne. My bus to the train station is a 3-minute walk from my house, and the bus takes me directly to the train station. The train into the city takes me directly to the tram stop that takes me to work. Everything I do for fun, I do in the city. I get my groceries and pizza delivered. My monthly transportation cost is a flat $170, or $2040 a year. It costs me 25 minutes extra commute each way. In exchange, I am rested when I get to work, and more importantly I'm rested when I get home. I have the energy to cook, tidy, and enjoy my evening. To drive, my annual costs would be $1000/year for insurance and registration, $8000 for fuel, maintenance and depreciation, and $3000 for parking, so I save $10,000 post-tax dollars a year not owning a car. It obviously takes planning to live a sorted life. If you buy a house in some random neighborhood, and accept a job in some random business park, your commute is going to be screwed. That's literally the trouble with "you Americans". You all drive random directions, and then you act surprised when nothing moves.
