We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.
Sorry, couldn't resist. One of my all-time favorite quotes.:-)
And if our politicians get too out of hand, and we don't want them in Texas any more, we send them to the white house to get them out of the Governors mansion. And I think we are about sick of Perry... Sorry.
Short/narrow sighted thinking like this is what brought us the ADA and Jarod's law. You can't accommodate every specific need in every situation.
If there's a passion for something, it will happen. I'd prefer to see the app written or the function implemented WITHOUT the specialized features than to have it not done at all.
Not that it isn't important, but if a need exists, a solution will be found. If the need is so tiny (compared to the whole) that it has not been addressed, then evangelize a solution that doesn't penalize the majority.
Don't be a presumptuous shit. I live 40 miles from work because:
1) I couldn't unload my house even if tried to give it away (no jobs, depressed job market) 2) If I moved closer to work, I'd be compelled to send my kids to private schools because the public system is crap (big bucks). 3) The difference in taxes between my rural home an a more urban/suburban house nearly pays for my annual increase in gas (my car gets 37+mpg). 4) I have a side business that requires more acreage than the typical urban slice of hell (additional income). 5) Moving closer to work would mean higher population density, which means an increased risk of living next to a hipster shit like you.
Telecommuting, while being discussed, isn't necessarily a viable solution for my situation (Even in the "sticks", I have a slow DSL connection).
Personally, I enjoy urban living and would gladly live closer to work as an individual. But, in the near term, I'm making personal (and negligible environmental) sacrifices to keep my family in a more peaceable and positive environment (not spoken as a homeschooler religious wackjob, either).
You don't seem to understand that if you don't pay for it yourself, they subsidies will cost you 50% more at least, as you not only have to pay the taxes to run the train, but for the bureaucrats who distribute the subsidy and prevent fraud. Not to mention the fraud itself.
Multiply that times tens of thousands of subsidies, and you wonder why western economies are all floundering?
You do realise the trucking industry in the U.S. is subsidised by a mostly free interstate highway system?
Just to keep things in perspective... The transportation industry paid $37.4 billion in federal and state highway-user taxes. Commercial trucks make up 12.5 percent of all registered vehicles, but paid 36.5 percent of total highway-user taxes in 2006.
So their lack of support for this in their home routers is astonishing.
Not so much, considering that the only influence that Cisco has had on the Linksys line was the addition of a logo on the boxes and device bezels. It's the same consumer-grade rubbish it's always been.

But, apparently, enough of the other 97% still click the link.

Someone tell me their thesis was rejected...

Fuck you.
Stated so confidently.
You're obviously an agent of the government. :-P
Agreed. Quite fetching, in my opinion.
Frankly, I think the government should build and operate all nuclear plant
Not much of a solution.
Re: real estate agents
Trust the opinion of no one who is earning a commission on what you wish to buy.
Inane pedestal mounted whining.
Please.

Or do it your damn self.
Was there ever a doubt?
Churches (as institutions) putting strict rules on sexuality: it derails the mind from what they are preaching (fear) and their control.
(in the above, church != religion)
The doubt still doesn't exist, only it's certainty manifested as denial...

Exactly; I'll believe it when I see it (might have to go look soon, just to satisfy my masochistic side).
A jury is made up of 12 people too dumb or too lazy to get out of jury duty...
Which is like buying an Apache helicopter and using the 30mm cannon to mow your lawn.
*stunned silence*
That's an option?

I think this is an invitation for all of us to crash this wedding.
Hmmm... Is there a precedent for /.'ing a physical real-life event??
Move out of your parent's basement and I suspect your belief in Santa Claus will subside, as well...
Do you know why truckers keep a dog as a traveling companion?
Because a sheep would be too obvious.

Granted, they travel more miles than private passenger vehicles, but they are also designed to impact the infrastructure less.

They already did. Why else do you think the WRT54GL and WRT160NL exist?
Not quite.

They get like that about anything. Hot climates, hot heads, cool climates cool heads.
Eerily insightful. Well said.
so does my church
Not so ironic when you think about it...
this is why we don't have ordinary people practicing medicine, and priests teaching anthropology, or use the Bible as textbook on history.
I gather you've never visited a flyover state?
