    And you assume that not one of those things NYC pays for generates revenue for NYC. I'll let you in on a little secret... All of those things generate revenue for the city and the people it taxes.

    you know... I use an 8 button scroll wheel bluetooth mouse with my powerbook... I cant figure out why people still think you cant use a multi button mouse on OS X.

    I use the logitech mx 900 the dock/charger doesnt need to be plugged into the powerbook. Also you can use any AA batteries you want with it, not just the built in ones designed to be recharged by the dock.

    You obviously never had a close family member die. The shit you may need to get ahold of for lawyers, the government, taxes, etc is huge, and enough of a reason for yahoo's policy to be forced to change. But these people wanted a keepsake, and because of the above sentence, should be able to get it.

    800 bucks for a Desktop PC that wont get virus infestations, can be directly hooked to the net, wont get spyware, and doesnt crash that my grand parents can use? Or a 300-400 dollar PC I spend hours building and setting up that any moron who comes along can trash?

    Don't assume that just because the eMac is the crappiest mac it is useless and overpriced. peace of mind and keeping people from being dependant on techies to use their computer is worth a lot imo.

    his statement is the same as saying:

    I am very sorry that there are horrible frats out there that give Fraternities a bad name. It's not something I would pick a fight over, but im sure as hell not going to let that statement be said without voicing my own opinion. It hurts the whole greek system for everyone to think that Fraternities are like those worthless frats.

    or maybe... just maybe... there are good reasons to not have them there, such as:

    Coast Guard rescue choppers wont be able to pickup stranded people.

    They are not cost efficient but are using energy bill taxes to subsidize their cost giving profit to the manufacturer.

    The company is run by a man currently under fraud investigation in either Rhode Island or Conneticuit for other "clean energy" companies he ran.

    They don't lower the obscenely high energy prices on the cape (about 2-3x as much a killowatt hour on Cape Cod than Boston), yet are using the taxes on those bills for subsidy.

    In 5 years time they could be put 7 miles out, out of trade/sailing/fishing areas, where they wouldn't be seen, could use more efficient fan designs, and actually become cost effective.

    Jesus, I don't even live on the cape, nor am I upper-middle class, but I knew better than to just assume capewind was correct.
