Actually, the real solution is to burn down the suburbs.
It's the suburb, which were designed around the car, that's the problem.
There are smaller steps that could be taken to eliminate the suburban problem, though, such as putting small grocery stores right in the middle of the neighborhoods, and implementing telecommuting. These would help reduce total miles driven.
Let's not assume your craptastic American rail experience is representative of a REAL rail system.
The train system in the US doesn't work because it is only a half-assed system. A real train system incorporates end-to-end solutions. It should be faster, cheaper, and more efficient than your automobile.
Look at Switzerland for a real rail system example. MUCH better than driving.
We need a wholesale replacement of the automobile transportation infrastructure system with a rail-based system.
Your car is expensive. It costs you $1000/month to own a car, with depreciation, gas, insurance, and so on. A rail-based system is MUCH cheaper to you than that.
Additionally, the constitution gives the federal government the right to create a postal mail service. You can take the mail definition and give it an internet meaning for the 21st century. Same thing.
BTW I'd much rather have a socialist government run internet, instead of private corporations. A socialist internet provider would be MUCH cheaper than any private corporate ISP. Think $1/month or so. Don't believe me? How much do you spend mailing a letter via USPS? 42 cents?
Now, how much would the same letter cost to deliver privately via UPS or FedEx? $10? $20?
There you go.
If you use the postal system, or the interstates, you are a socialist. Welcome comrade.
Let's be proactive about it, too. Let's start with children, by teaching them that religion is a problem, instead of a solution. Let's treat religion as a mental disease like schizophrenia. Let's go ahead and remove the first amendment "freedom of religion" clause and actually make religion illegal and dangerous.
Nothing good has come from religion that can come without religion.
Why is he allowed to waive a person's rights for national security purposes?
National security is HIS problem, not the individual's problems. The constitution doesn't limit the right to expression, assembly, and so on, on the condition that it be used to protect national security. If he can't protect his country without infringing on constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of individuals, then well, sucks to be him. I can has new country, pleeaz.
The individual is more important than the government, not the other way around. The government can die, for all we care - it can be replaced by another piece of paper quite easily.
Toshiba is right: the physical disc is dead. No one is going to buy Blu-Ray players like no one bought HD-DVD players. Everyone is going to download their HD movies onto servers.
Their next steps should be to create some new secure TCP/IP protocols to replace the outdated HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and so on, while signing in at the OS level.
Indeed the most important element of a home theatre is THE ROOM itself. Anyone that takes a microphone into an empty room is going to record about 50db of ambient noise, from everything from the air conditioner and refrigerator, to the rumbles of cars and planes outside. Most sound systems are going to output at most 100db. This limits you to a 50db signal to noise ratio. This will destroy the theoretical 96db signal to noise ratio of a CD, or the 124db signal to noise ratio of DVD-A/SACD. Additionally, reverb and room modes are going to destroy all sense of ambience if there's too much interference.
The first thing one should do in building a home theatre is to build a room that's as dark and acoustically perfect as possible. Then you can worry about speakers/amps/screens/etc.
Study how to build a room. There are many techniques to make a room sound isolated, especially from those that have built home recording studios.
Since they're the ones using it commercially, and the photographer had no commercial intentions. (which would be separate from copyrights that creative commons allow.)
Basically put in dozens of slow low IPC, but area-efficient, processors per CPU. Later on, throw in some MMX/VLIW style instructions to optimize certain classes of algorthims.
The first Niagara CPUs were terrible at floating point math, so they were only good for web-servers. The next generation I hear are supposed to be better at FPU ops.

This is what IBM did during WWII to avoid the ban on sales to Nazi Germany.
You are with the free market system, or you are against it.

Stop rambling.
The first amendment guarantees a federal ISP is censorship free.
What's funny is that a private company DOESN'T have to give you your first amendment rights, whereas, a government does.
I don't see how it's unconstitutional, since it's part of the federal government's authority to regulate interstate commerce.

They'll ask you for the decrypt password. If you don't give it, they can seize laptop.
We need a distress-key decrypt password system that unlocks a false filesystem when ordered to decrypt.
Just stay calm, don't be nervous, don't look at their faces, and don't say anything..

The MacBook Pro was updated in November.
Tell them to cease and desist from existing.
Anyone can sue anyone for anything, might as well tell sue them right back.
Applications see people (and their data) that approve the applications.
So, if a person approves an application, then that application can go ahead and broadcast to the world that person's data.
Their next steps should be to create some new secure TCP/IP protocols to replace the outdated HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and so on, while signing in at the OS level.
Facebook is pretty much going to own.
Murray still has one in his office... until it was replaced with a PC by the office IT girl.
Only 20 years and these things already need to be replaced.

The world of art is about the unexpected and abstract. The state of the arts gets pushed when something new and different happens.
The war on terror fights the hardest against artists.
It's no suprise that artists are the ones most likely to be harrassed because of terror concerns, for example, the lite-bright signs.

for not acquiring a model release before putting his image out for commercial use. Both the girl and Virgin could sue the photographer.
I've always wanted to go there, but just couldn't afford a real vacation. Now I can finally visit Mars.
Now, what sort of options are available for the memory implant's "ego trip"?
