every one of the improvements you cited is a result of government mandated pollution controls.
So you give examples of the successes of government mandated pollution controls as a proof that we dont need government mandated pollution controls.
hmm ok.

And we must really try hard not to find out or we might have to do something about it.
So you think rail is expensive because of the land it takes up then what about one of those 6 lane highways they have in cali.
Even air ports are probably as expensive as a rail-line, because they need big chunks of land close to a city while a rail line only needs a narrow strip of land most of which is between cities.
I dont know about frezno and modesty but there surely will be enough traffic from la to sd for a convenient rail line, seeing as how the huge highway between them is regularly congested.
the reason why rail seems expensive in the northeast is because the other alternatives are heavily subsidized. Amtrack's subsidies ammount to nothing compared to what is being spend for building and maintainance of roads.
It has been proven that rail is cheaper than air travel and roads, for most urban environments. It just so happens the way our government is organized we end up spending big chunks of our local federal and state tax dollars on roads.
Do you think debt is free? It costs interest, and when communication companies take such large ammounts of unsecured debt during times of high interest, that debt is quite expensive. You can add to that high salaries for executives who obviously screwed up.
So yes we are paying for their idocy, and we shouldnt. Failed bussiness plans should just fail, they shouldnt pass their failures on to their consumers.
Remember the multiple stories about how Telco's are trying and succeeding in removing the requirement for providing connections to independant DSL providrs?
I am too lazy to link them but any regular Slashdot reader should remember them, there have been like 5 of them so far.
Well it seems to me those things are connected. Less competition means higher prices. It does not mean as telco's would like you to think "more innovation and exciting new services".
"Besides, I think he realizes that it's a suicide mission. "
i dont think so, in fact he is planning to arrange for a gang of hooter girls to wait for him on the ground. If it was a suicide mission he'd have the hooter girls before hand.
actually thats exactly it shoot back. Dont tell me you believe those national missile defence fairy tales, russian nukes dont have little homing devices on them.
Most disinterested experts agree that digital projection sucks compared to film.
I even read that one reviewer slammed a movie for being really terribly shot, it turned out he just had the misfortune of seeing that movie in a digital projection theatre and had to apologize to the filmmakers.
If you think they are biased then maybe you should point out how they are biased (and no ad revenue doesnt really work, one could say that if you are pro microsoft you can generate more add revenue by having microsoft buy adds in your paper), but more importantly tell us how their article is false or misleading as a result of their bias.
I really hope microsoft are not paying you for such general and lazy accusations. I heard they expect more thurough work.
The only way you will know for sure that your metworked devices will obey you and noone else, is to get ones that are user programmable and put your own, or open sourced software on them.
It kind of sucks but i have to admit that probably the best english language tv in the world has come from the BBC - Blackadder (my name sake), Faulty towers, Monty Python, Hitchhikers guide, red dwarf, etc.

microsoft embraced and changed the java standardon their compilers.
whenever i hear the words microsoft and open standard in the same sentence i have to laugh. yea sure just like java was an open standard.

the us is not all farming country. we have our dense population areas, like the north east, and the california coast.
SO high speed trains do make a lot of sence in a lot of places in the us.
Just because a theory sounds nice and fits well with other known theories (electro magnetism) does not mean it is true.
There is plenty of moving mass in the universe. Has anyone measured a gravitomagnetic effect?
i havent heard of it.
Of course you have to pay for their idiocy.

What is DSP?
Also how would you suppose one could get the neccessary knowledge of how experiments are conducted/ data is gathered and what equipment is used?
You go on autopilot flaming some imaginary "socialists" without even trying to understand what the issue is.
