Yes, that is a ridiculous suggestions. I'd bet that far more than 9/10 Americans have electricity, running water, regular meals and a roof over their heads.
The difference between 60mph and 40mph is getting there a third earlier, i.e. in twenty minutes rather than thirty. Even a five minute saving can mean the difference between getting a parking space and having to park at down the road. Even if the time savings aren't that high, it definitely feels faster. I hate going slow, especially when stuck behind some old cunt on an afternoon drive...
I wouldn't want to read the paper in the car anyway. For one I don't read papers and two it'd make me sick, especially on the roads I drive on.
Youtube is pretty crap for TV anyway because it's all cut up into five minute 'parts', the picture quality is awful and their bandwidth can't keep up so it keeps stalling.
Funny how most of the music being pirated is not these 'local bands', but RIAA mass-manufactured music. If piracy kills the record industry, there'll be nothing left to pirate.
No traffic tickets - the AI can go closer to the speed limit than I have the patience to
So if you're forced to go at the speed limit, it would take much longer to get to your destination than with a normal car. I don't see how this is an advantage.
Today, family and friends ask me to not mention any of this to their kids finishing high school/starting college.
That's because nearly all dropouts end up working deadend menial jobs their entire lives.
It's not the dot-com era anymore, companies aren't going to hire 17 year old dropouts as sysadmins. Your case was a complete one off, you may as well advise people to buy lottery tickets for a living.
1. When the Romans conquered the Greeks they actually adopted Greek culture and didn't kill off the Greeks.
That would be the pro-Roman view. Another view is that they went round Europe, raping, pillaging and murdering, and took many as slaves. I don't see any indians being forced to fight lions in colliseums or feed grapes to George Bush.
Why are the street lights in the middle of nowheresville still on at 3AM when the only eyes looking at them are foxes?
So people can drive there safely. Streetlighting also reduces crime. I drive to work on a road that's unlit at night and there are accidents there all the time, usually in the morning when it's dark.

It can cost hundreds of thousands to produce and market a CD. That's why record companies are still relevant.

That's bullshit, you're telling me that one in ten Americans are homeless and starving?
Surely with modern technology, we should moving away from pilots, not towards them. More high pilots wages just squeezes tight margins even further.
If planes aren't fully automated within the next twenty years then something has really gone wrong.
What was the life expectancy of a Hawaiian before and after the conquest?

If you don't get a degree then how do you get a job? You won't have any experience because you haven't got the job in the first place.
No wireless, less space than a nomad. Lame.
Face it, Slashdot is crap at predicting the market.

Well, then maybe that restaurant should have got a union, I get half an hour's break every two hours, paid.
Actually I've never heard of any company cutting your pay during breaks. It's not your own time if you're at work is it?
How are they going to check you're on a break anyway? It's not like they have cameras trained on you. And what do they define as a break anyway?

Except the file wasn't worth $38 billion. That's like saying if you lose your bank statement, you've lost your life savings.
Face it, native Americans are NOT a special case.
Last I looked, people use phones to make bomb threats, and companies use them to harass people.
If he meant that the city was New York, he'd have said 'I grew up in the suburbs of New York'.
The way he phrased it suggested that the city he was in was itself a suburb of New York.
