You could read the article, where your questions are answered. These systems don't seem to be aimed at competing with interstate - in one case a maximum length of 10km is mentioned.
I would envisage that this would be integrated with satellite navigation. You wouldn't say, "I want to leave the train now", you'd say "I want to leave at junction 12". Not much fun if you need a the toilet!
There's plenty of competition in the UK. They must think that their competitors are going to pull a similar stunt. I wonder what will happen when people on T-Mobile contracts start complaining to the regulator.
This was a story in a tabloid newspaper for idiots. A newly-elected Conservative MP proposed it but she is a nobody. The Register has a more accurate report.
I don't understand why you're not embarrassed to post that. Surely if you think that your approach would be better, why don't you create the graphs in the way that you think they should be presented? If you want to change the style of presentation, why don't you use your graphs in a more "appropriate" video and post it up to youtube? It's not as if this person was doing something that the average person couldn't do - if you don't like the way he has done it, do something better.
Converting from one to the other takes time. Kids tend to think and work in metric. Older people tend to use metric selectively. I prefer cm these days for short distances although I was taught in inches and feet. But I think of longer distances in miles. I think of my car's fuel economy in miles-per-gallon, although I measure recipe quantities these days in ml. It's odd to think that people should use all metric quantities as we don't use all imperial quantities - I have never heard anyone using rods or chains as a measure of distance and I don't think I'd know what somebody meant if they did. It takes time to switch from one thing to another - in Britain it's only been 40-odd years since they started changing things in schools.
I don't understand your argument. So when the US spends government money in the defence industries it's not "socialist" (by your definition) to do that in America but it is "socialist" if "socialist-leaning" countries benefit? Are you serious? If so, I'd love to hear your views on the bailout of Wall Street.
They might not have charged him under that act, but going up to some grieving parent and shouting abuse at them through a megaphone is not something that we could tolerate in the UK. At the very least doing that would be likely to cause a breach of the peace.
This story comes from the Daily Star. This claims to be a newspaper but, while it is certainly printed on paper, you probably wouldn't pay too much attention to what they call "news". The last sentence of the story shows you their approach. I don't think people normally talk that way.
To everyone saying "scam" and "this will never work" and "this is not art": this auction and event is clearly not for you. I think it is for all those people who played and enjoyed "pass-the-parcel" as a childhood game. In this case, it is like playing pass-the-parcel in reverse. Remember, everyone who "buys" the work still has the right to "sell" it afterwards and this can go on until the value of the art drops. The person still holding the parcel in that situation is unlucky as s/he will lose money. So long as the artist stays in vogue or becomes more established, people will make (small amounts of) money on each transaction - up to a point. It's just a piece of harmless fun for those people who can afford to risk up to £2500 on a scheme like this. I agree with those who say that the artist should have gone for a monthly or quarterly rather than a weekly scheme. But I wouldn't think that their aim is any more than illustrating a principle.
Especially if you are going to post critically about something, it will help you if you read the article first. It specifically mentions that they do their own videos so as to keep the costs down.

To suggest that people in Western Europe want their governments to spend money on American weapons is a little odd, I think.

You should have found one who could spell.
Why would anyone believe him?
They might not have charged him under that act, but going up to some grieving parent and shouting abuse at them through a megaphone is not something that we could tolerate in the UK. At the very least doing that would be likely to cause a breach of the peace.
You couldn't be bothered to read three words before commenting?
Have you read what he wrote on the page? On what basis do you conclude that he is not being honest?
I do live in the EU.
Dear oh dear.
He claimed to be driving at 140kph in a built up area. You're suggesting that this might be safe?
He pleaded guilty to this.
Oops. You're right. I shall RTFAs in future!
the father made some ricin.
You state this as a fact. I'm interested in what measure you are using to compare them. Perhaps you meant to say, "In my opinion ... "?

Is it only for successful businessmen? Pity. I might have liked it but I can't really claim to be a successful businessman.

This is one preposterous quote:
. This quote is rather contradicted by the next.
Here is another:
. Are you sure you mean "most"? Because the next sentence actually contradicts that.
Just exaggerating everything makes you look like an idiot.
