The cut between local governments and various sports franchises are as varied and individual as the number of entities involved. There is only one constant: they do NOT make money for the local communities.
i have a 32GB iphone. i have only 80GB of music. if i listened to music on my iphone 24x7 it would take me weeks to listen to everything once. who cares about having access to your entire music collection if it's going to take you 5 years to listen to it?
i don't even listen to full albums anymore. i have a bunch of smart playlists with different conditions and one with only my favorite songs from the entire collection. and my faves playlist is over 1000 songs and if i could i would cut it down to 100 or so to sync to my iphone but maybe in a future version of itunes.
Because if I get a bug up my ass to listen to a particular tune or album, I want that tune or album, not some substitute.
Each strand of the cable gives way individually in many instances of cable failure. Looking at the ends can reveal a dozen frayed strands. In that sense, it is a gradual failure. But operationally, it presents as you indicate; when the last strand goes, it goes completely, but little warning if you haven't been performing a visual inspection.
No, it's not understandable at all. Operating a 4000 lb. vehicle capable of carrying a helluva lot of kinetic energy requires more than the 'hope and prey' approach to operator actions. How about we expect the slightest bit of effort from drivers in the US?
DoE contractor here. I don't know how much my company gets paid for my work, but considering how quickly they jumped when I suggested a salary, I'm guessing that they're making a few bucks more than I'm getting paid.
Your unsourced comments may be true, but you are ignoring a big factor: contractors. MANY of the low level workers in the government are farmed out to various companies under the guise of 'efficiency'. Considering the extra overhead involved, there is little there to make me believe that this efficiency exists, but, whatever.
While your point is made and understood, there are actually a few studies showing that both leeches and trepanning (or a modern day equivalent) have some valid therapeutic uses. No, I'm not going to bother with a cite as they're from some medical journals (dead tree, father is a traditionalist) which are at home.
I've only recently been turned on to this and I agree, the audio edition of The Economist is fantastic. I honestly don't know how they do it every week.
It probably starts with a copy of the article, someone who can read it, and a microphone.
Typical slashdot response. "I don't use feature 'foo' so it's pointless, but if it lacks feature 'bar', my nerdragometer goes into the red zone. Oh, and just do it yourself!" Give me a fucking break, the N900 seems to do everything except what, you know, paying customers want. People want phones, not phone construction kits.
The problem being that they typically don't reboot anything, but write a tortured explanation for why everything that has ever happened HAS happened and doesn't contradict the other stuff that has happened.
This is at its worst in comic book fandom (of the cape and tights sort of comic books). The latest issue of Superman needs to be consistent with ~700 issues of one book, ~500 of another, hundreds of spinoffs, hundreds more crossovers, etc. So bad for the past few decades that every few years they need a big 'event' that wipes the slate clean and starts over again.
Thank God JJ Abrams came along and saved the series from the Trekkies.
This, this, a thousand times this. What the GP doesn't realize is that blind obesiance to 40 years of crap is a serious bug, not a feature, to the vast unwashed masses who actually pay for these big budget releases. He and the rest of the Comic Book Guys hanging out in the nerdcave quite simply cannot do this. The even movies of ST were traditionally accessible. The odd ones, much less so.

I'm amazed you find time to ride a bicycle what with all the time you seem to spend on your high horse.

Which again makes it like the Wii. Rather than cramming an old scheme onto new controls, game designers need to think outside the box a bit more.

"But there’s no evidence that using public money to build stadiums is a sensible economic strategy."
Something economists largely agree upon

This is an old issue, and well settled, except among some sports fans, and most muni governments

All that hockey hullabaloo and that bitch Anne Murray too!

Training? What a fucking joke.
Your user-ID is a sign of the influx of all the trendoids back during the dot-com era.
And in my HS, I think we had a couple of Apple //e's stashed somewhere.
Now get off my... Oh, what's it called? The green carpet that grows... Sorry, memory goes when you get this old.
If you think Atlas Shrugged was a good story ruined only by a blatant and heavy-handed message, may you please stay far, far, far away from writing.

I like Android for the multiple concurrent apps
Plus the ability to install an SSH client and do port forwarding with an RDP client allowing secure connections to a terminal server.
With abilities like that, I can't believe my whole family doesn't have one already.

Conservatives expressing their displeasure with NYT and WaPo are akin to Br'er Rabbit expressing his displeasure at being thrown into the briar patch.
Last I heard, Hello Kitty was also ubiquitous in Japan; that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Look out! Nerdrage!
The Big Mac may not be haute cuisine, but it's good enough for most people.

It would be much cooler if they turned the bandwidth up to 11.
You've never appeared before a local judge if you think they have critical thinking skills superior to that of 12 laypeople.
I want a sheet of paper screen that I can crumple up and throw away when I spill coffee on in.
Sure watching videos is nice. But why is it called an E-book?
This is a step in the wrong direction.
You're the reason we can't have nice things!
