I don't live in a city. Have used public transportation in the past, use a bicycle now. Never in my life have I been so fit.
Admit it, you are just lazy.
The closest bus station to my house is 10 - 15 minutes away by car going at an average of 55 - 60 mph. From there, if I choose to take the bus, I am guessing it would tack on an additional hour of travel when you consider the low bus count in the area. Even if it only tacked on 30 minutes, by the time I am at the bus station, I am only 5 - 10 minutes from work by car. Is it really going to save all that much if I just go all the way to work by car?
As far as bikes go, even if I was willing to pad on the extra time it would take to travel, I would probably be fired if I came to work all gross and sweaty everyday. There are no showers at work. I also would not be comfortable traveling on the required roads by bike. It just wouldn't be safe. If I lived closer to work, lived in a cooler area, had bike friendly roads between me and work, and possibly had a shower at work would I ride a bike? Probably but I don't. Another thing I would like to mention is that work is actually a little closer to me than everything else. Also, I am by far do not live in the most remote area in the country.
More public transit is all fine and dandy but for some areas it infeasible. Unlike many other countries, most of the United States built its infrastructure. cities, and towns under the belief that cars would be used to get around. It would take generations to change the infrastructure to accommodate the whole country if we lost personal vehicles.
Electric cars are not the answer. Better city planning, public transportation, and human-powered transportation are the answers.
Higher oil prices are the answer. They are the only external force that will cause Joe 6-Pack to care about better city planning, public transportation and the like.
What about those of us that do not live in a city? Everywhere I need to go is 20 minutes from where I live.
There are a lot of people who would participate in typing up the CC track for movies, especially if it was allowed to be copied around for noncommercial use. Unfortunately, I seriously doubt that the MPAA would allow it, for the same reason they don't want you to rip your own DVD for backup purposes -- their policies are directed by lawyers whose priorities rarely overlap with what's good for consumers. If they could sue the IMDB project, they probably would.
Wiki, really? I doubt Netflix wants a blind person to stream Star Trek II and all of a sudden see "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAApenispenispenis" as well.;)
I think you mean deaf. In any case, crowd sourced CCs would just go through a vetting process. If you want to participate in the creation or vetting of CCs, you opt-in with the knowledge that you might see "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAApenispenispenis" and then be give the ability to flag and change the CC. Some sort of scoring system could be used to determine when a CC as been sufficiently vetted and added to the video for those that did not opt-in to the vetting process.
I personally think the suit is dumb. Why should Netflix be forced to create content and put it on its site? The National Association for the Deaf should have simply asked if Netflix if they would be willing to add CC to its videos if the CCs were provided. I believe Netflix already has CC on some of its videos. They would probably be willing to add the CCs if they were provided in the correct format. The National Association for the Deaf could then either collect donations or start a Kickstarter in order to create the CCs. Hell, a project like this could be crowd sourced.
This is why I wish Cyanogenmod supported my phone. The next time I buy a phone I will make sure that there Cyanogenmod support for it before I buy it. Manufacturers should considered making a device with Cyanogenmod pre-installed.
What about the technologies we would develop to make a moon base? We could use many of the same technologies that we would use on a moon base in Mars. Also, what about making moon based mining, refinery, and manufacturing facilities. It is easier to fly off the moon than it is to fly off Earth or Mars. Mars should be the eventual target but the Moon should be the testbed.
You analogy does not work. If the internet was a road, there would be two types of roads. The first type would be like a normal road. If enough resources, you can monitor who is going where and whether what they are transporting is illegal. The second type of road cloaks all information about the cars except where they are going and how often they travel. With some clever tricks, a lot of this data can be obfuscated and to some completely hidden. If you scare all the illegal activity away from the normal roads, it will move to the cloaking roads that are just as good. In the end, you have done almost nothing beneficial and actually harmed some existing and possible technologies. It also harms those that are hit with false positives. Fighting online piracy is like Wack-A-Mole. Companies would be smarter to uses knowledge about piracy as market indicators and compete with it rather than litigate against it.
If your computer is setup to act as a node on Tor or another onion routing technology and a pirate uses your computer as a exit node, the pirate's traffic would look like your traffic to your ISP..
Your neighbor is a dick. People need to learn to mind there own business. I am curious what the police said to you. Did they come because they had to and then said bye or did they did they give you grief?
Thanks for the tip. My computer boots up so fast that hibernation isn't really necessary. I will have to do that this weekend. I have 16 GB of RAM so I assume that much storage space is allocated for hibernation use?
I'm sure as hell not gonna do a clean install and VLite to try to squeeze Win 7 onto some 60Gb.
I actually managed to get a Windows 7 Pro install on a 64GB SSD. I simply created a junction link in order to move the User folder to an actual hard drive without messing with the registry. I did the same to move my large programs (mostly games) to the hard drive. I love how fast it boots up. I do will I had at least a 120GB SSD through if not a 200+ GB one. Windows 7 takes up a vast majority of my SSD.
The statue was supposed to be a representation of the ideal. We currently have rocks. We want a statue. If you smash the statue, you are back to rocks.
But ultimately this is still pro-software patent, they just try to modify the existing rules somewhat.
It is better than nothing. One step at a time. You don't get a statue by smashing rocks with a bulldozer. You get it by breaking away rocks chips until the statue is realized.
I don't get why the government give aid to all majors indiscriminately. If they are going to be giving out students aid with our tax dollars, they should at least give out aid based on projected job demand. By doing so, they are reducing the number of students who graduate with no job prospects while encouraging students to fill market needs. It might also be wise to offer aid based on personality tests in order to encourage students to go into a field where they are most likely going to be useful and hopefully enjoy. This all assumes that the government should be giving out student aid. I am not so sure.

Not really. They have human pilots as backup.
It should also be disconnected from the government.

I hate the global menu bar in Mac. I want my menus as close to my mouse as possible.

The accuser should have to eat the £20 no the accused.
I use it legitimately every time I want to download a new Linux ISO. There is nothing inherently illegal about the technology.

Why don't we focus on colonizing a easier target before we start colonizing Mars. Baby steps.
Wouldn't this make onion routing potentially illegal?

Sounds soggy.
I assume so that people can move their installs from a hard drive to a SSD with the minimum amount of effort.

I never really understood why people who can barely afford their own expenses have kids.
