Detect vandalism and other "unapproved" activity and take the accused directly to a transit station or worse a police station for processing. They aren't driving so "big brother" can enforce a disciplinary detour to discourage unwanted activities.
The beauty of these "pods" is that one is at the station waiting for you whenever you show up. You don't have to match your schedule to the train/bus schedule.
The issue is integrating the tracks into current urban settings so that you only have to walk a couple blocks between the station and your destination. Elevated or submerged tracks and stations seem like the only feasible solution but both have enormous investment costs.
These pods will never work over longer distances which might be what you are referring to with door-to-door travel. But people would be far more likely to take a train from LA to SF or NY to DC if they could count on a pod being ready at the station to take them to within a couple blocks of there destination within the city.
I've only been working the 9/80 schedule for 4.5 years but I LOVE it. I'm looking forward to 4 days off this weekend.
I haven't had any trouble with working off-Fridays. Our entire company works the same schedule which probably helps. In fact I'd rather (and have) come in on a Sunday instead of an off-Friday.
It's a bit of "pulling the ladder up after us" to insist that China take a harder path than we did during their industrial revolution.
They have an advantage of using the technology "the West" developed to reduce their pollution. Just like African countries can skip the copper stage of telecommunications and deploy cellular. China should be able to steal^H^H^H^H^Hutilize the technology available to limit their pollution. They just need an incentive or mandate to spend the extra money to install and maintain it.
The iTunes store is online so it can't be considered the "SAME SHOP ON THE SAME LOCATION." When you visit the iTunes store from the UK it is like the iTunes store is now "in" your computer in the UK and must follow British trade regulations. The servers are in the same location but the music label contracts charge iTunes different amounts based on which country the customer is from. It is simple economics that the cost is passed on to the consumer.
When you buy things from online retailers they check your credit card mailing address and charge you sales tax based on where you live.
Check out AnandTech's Real Time Price Engine. It tracks product prices at lots of vendors and shows price history. You can watch the price fluctuations on a pretty graph.
My Verizon DSL gives me access to ESPN360. It is pretty sweet. Mostly ESPN Motion with higher quality and more shows. They had quite a few bowl games cut down to 15 minutes showing highlights and interviews.
I like http://diggvsdot.com./ Using their scoring system Slashdot doesn't look that bad. However, if they had a -1 for delays longer than 24 hours Digg would score much better.
Slashdot may post earlier sometimes but Digg rarely is more than 24 hours behind. Slashdot was 30+ hours behind on a number of stories.
I read Slashdot for the great comments. Digg looks like a good alternative if/.ers are annoying.
When you type in a zip code there is a huge ugly white space on the left that dominates the page. Having the results or directions on the right side would make the page layout look cleaner.
Identity theft most definately deprives the victim of a very large amount of their personal time. Not that I agree but copying something does not take anything OUT of someone's back account. At worst it would prevent putting anything IN the account.
Identity theft is tangible in the sense that the victim is deprived of their time and money to restore their credit.
I think it would be interesting to see what the results of this would be. Consider that the average soldier/sailor is in the prime target age for MMOGs.
If nothing else it would help the DOD better understand how soldiers/sailors spend their time and if there was anything to be gained by creating something like America's Army. I think it is interesting that the DOD is looking to use games for more than just entertainment. Full Spectrum Warrior was pretty fun. I would think that two competive privates would have fun going head to head with a realistic game like Full Spectrum Warrior.
You can already get "real" rosters for college games for Xbox and PS2. Plus people go in and update the NFL rosters to include things such as Ricky Williams retiring right before the season.
ActionReplay (Xbox) has 43 "Power Saves" for EA's NCAA 2005 which include
13 different rosters for Div 1A.
If you don't want to pay for their memory card you can download their software and use a USB memory stick or your

Nice to know that India would extradite spammers since that offense seems to have a 9 year prison sentence
I don't know about teletubbies but I would say they have a striking resemblence to Playmobil
Especially the Pirate Playmobil
You might want to post murder suggestions as Anonymous Coward.
Especially with a user name like "future assassin"!!
