    in my opinion, the best headline I will ever read in my life. It read, in giant lettering across its homepage;

  7. Re:Not just privacy concerns on California's Revised Pay-As-You-Drive Insurance Draws Continued Objections · · Score: 1

    the light rail system equally so in LA under the same circumstances

    For very limited sets of circumstances. All public transit in LA is based on the fallacious assumption that everyone wants to go downtown, especially the rail system.

    Want to go from the Valley to the Westside? Go downtown first. In other words, go 35 miles out of your way.

    I used to live 1/2 mile from a Metrolink stop, and work 1/2 mile from another stop, but I couldn't take the train because it only ran "inbound" (into downtown) in the mornings, and "outbound" in the evenings, and my work was in the opposite direction.

    The light rail system in LA sucks. Period.

    There was the row between Copiepresse and Google over Google linking to Copiepresse's newspapers. Google was fined and promptly stopped linking to the newspaper's sites.

    At which point, IIRC, Copiepresse sued Google to force them to link to Copiepresse, and have Google pay for said "privilege".

    RIAA: "We're dropping the suit without prejudice".

    Well, come on, since Australians come from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, this law makes perfect sense!

  16. Re:Not me... on US Postal Service Moves To GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    I am happy with the USPS, and, coincidentally, it happens to be mandated by the US Constitution.

    Not mandated, as much as permitted by Article I, Section 8.

    Congress has the power to establish the Post Office, but it is not required to. Nonetheless, since it is a legitimate Federal function per the Constitution, I have no problem with the USPS.
