    Sir,
    Your point does not go unnoticed. However I am sick to death of listening to the BS of trolls be regurgitated by (and i dont know how nature allows this) the more ignorant and more stupid.

    I don't know i think sniping at Ulanoff was, if not warranted, at least amusing. I would have dragged him behind a '47 ford pickup down a gravel covered southern road myself:)

    Indeed, however you may or may not be aware that amtrak was also a party to the design and engineering of the acela trains. IIRC they were built for Amtrak to Amtrak's spec. And besides id you buy something to 'resale' to someone else its also your responsibility it will work correctly for your customer. there is only so much you can put off on your supplier.

    Im sorry, I do and i wont be riding amtrak ever again. One time i was taking the train from NYC to Schenectady (1 stop 20 mins west of albany NY) We get all the way to Albany, and we sit and wait. and for nearly an hour no one tells us why. We finally learn that we are waiting to meet a train from Boston, that hadnt left by the time we arrived in albany. so a 3+ hour trip turns intos a 6+ hour trip. No amount of politics is to blame for that.

    You are indeed correct. However that alone does not make an excuse for the rampant ineptitude of amtrak.

  12. Re:Trains are obsolete on Money Problems May Derail First U.S. MagLev Train · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well I know from Amtrak as i rode it for 4 years while dating my wife. And the problem is not trains themselves.. Amtrak problem is Amtrak. the NEC (north east corridor) Is extremely busy and would be close to self sustaining, but any money it makes is used to subsidize the running of otherwise dead rail lines elsewhere. In NYS the train from NY to albany, montreal, and buffalo are nearly always full. So the passengers are there.

    But when you get an organization like amtrak, that launches a supposedly 'high speed' service (acela) that is only 15 minutes faster than the normal train on the same route and costs you twice as much to ride, and cost several millions to build, and was late on its maiden voyage (i think it even broke down). Well This is not a problem with train being obsolete, its a problem with the operator, the operator in this case is Amtrak.

    I have about a millions seething hate stories about Amtrak. remind me to tell you one some time.

  17. there autta be a law! on Police and Lawyers Love E-ZPass · · Score: 1

    The plain and simple solution here is that corporations should not be involved in primary law enforcement (tickets for reaching your destination too fast when using a toll device) and corporate should be barred from making a profit on primary law enforcement. (getting a cut from speeding/ red light cameras).

    Basically the police have to be the first and primary intervener in these situations.

I wonder if mr self satisfaction actually has a timeline of windows exploits and issued patches. I doubt his wall would be long enough to hang such a thing.
