That just shows how sucky it is to work in a large city and work for companies that don't provide parking.;)
Most of the metros in Europe are in the $1.50 - $2 range for a single ride, Paris is around $1.90, Marid is around $1.25, London the most expensive at $5.00 with discount, close to $8.00 without. You do have decent discounts if you purchase monthly tickets, and those long distance trains are good discounts, but from workmates who use them they are linked to specific sites and have limits to make them usable as work transport.
Now for some reality, here in Germany if you are in the rural areas mass transit is like in the US. I could take that discount for trains but the train comes by once an hour, each direction. The bus comes every 15-20 mins during morning and evening times but besides normal users they are also used as school buses so are filled with kids; trains are also used for school transportation.
There are reasons that the streets are filled with cars even with the "great" mass transit.
The proposed site is not going to display tax spending it is going to display how the money is going to be/is being spend to get an economic recovery going.
This is important because one of the major parts of getting out of the economic problem is to get people to think that things are going good and they should start spending and using credit again. If people start seeing that things are getting better and more money is going into the economy, and that more will jobs available there is a better chance that they will start spending.
While the recovery.gov site mentions taxes it mainly is about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the 1-2 trillion dollars that barak will be wanting for this is not coming from taxes it is coming from US Government loans and if they cannot get the loans then it will come from the printing of more money.
Ignore that he is not going to push to make them law, it has no bearing in the previous message. However to bring it up the executive order is a good start but having no plans to give the orders the backing of federal law points that the signing was to fool his followers only. It is like his stance on Gitmo, it is very bad and should not exist but as President I will keep them around for year and hold meetings about them.
If you were not blind to the truth you would know that his intention to ignore his own executive orders was demonstrated on the same day when he sent a person who would not of qualified under his executive orders and would of not qualified under current law if President Obama had not signed a waiver to the law.
I guess one other change we get under Obama is that telling the truth is now hate.
Government requirements and practices prevent it.
Laws and orders basically require that you be on site and in as an employee before accounts can be created. Then what slows it down is that you are required to have certain training and that has been verified and your security has to be verified before your account can be authorized. That so many people got accounts on the first day indicates that a lot of work was done before hand and once everything was approved accounts were given.
Since this is another US centric article and from the reads most people don't understand who Palin was and how the USA is setup is here is basic intro.
Palin is the governor of the STATE of Alaska who ran for a FEDERAL position. During the time she ran for the federal position she was still the state governor and did work as the state governor. She did state and political party work on a Yahoo account.
If she had been elected as Vice-President or had been working for the White House work related documents on Yahoo would of been illegal but she was not and was doing state related work and so far no-one has pointed to an Alaskan law saying she could not do it.
Not that this should be a shock, she had many claims put against her that were correct and permitted under Alaska law but members of the opposition political party figured they would use to attack her.
Now in the USA federal and state laws are separate and while many federal laws must be followed by the states, the laws that the article are complaining that governor Palin did not follow do not deal with the states.
That chart is worthless, look at the list of items it is said he accomplished. What he has signed have huge loop holes are just signing what President Bush already put into effect.
For instance sets look at lobbyists a very simple thing, and we will ignore that he has no plans of making these changes law just an executive order he have change at anytime.
On the same day he signed the lobbyist order he sent William J. Lynn for confirmation. Mr Lynn has been appointed to directly manage and award contracts for people and projects he lobbied for less then 6 months ago. Must be a change in the definition of lobbyist. He is not the only person Obama has appointed who lobbied to Congress less then 1 year ago, but those are easy to pass off since they were not registered lobbyists.
BTW, all the time leading up to his swearing in he kept saying that he was going to ban lobbyists all the way; "No lobbyists in my White House!" In addition he use to say that he would place limits on people who had family members as registered lobbyists, looks like his word on that is gone.
There are a couple of other sites that have been discussing the code and that is the general thinking. It is not just the lack of metatags but the lack of tools that use jQuery and generate asp.net code.
From the personal side it looks like my code when I hand write asp.net and run it through a code beutifier, without knocking down the indent size.
And if was just the failure of the items with a blind faith in free markets it would of not been a problem, some companies would of failed, some people would of taken a loss in money but it would of not been that big.
But those blind faith free markets, the regulation removed back with Mr. Clinton, got big from banking on non-free market structures, they were able to get so big because they were betting on markets that had the government backing that would not allow them to fail.
Also lets not forget what lead up to alot of these problems, the high cost of fuel which lead to high costs for other goods which was the final item leading to the housing market bubble burst. The gas and oil market is hardly free market, just try to be a supplier if you think it is.

This persistent cookie is used by YouTube to help maintain the integrity of video statistics. A waiver has been issued by the White House Counsel's office to allow for the use of this persistent cookie.
Also read the governments requirement on cookies you can have them but you have to give a reason and purpose. It came from when you had that mass scare of cookies are evil and should be blocked and has never been changed, all federal sites just have the same boilerplate comments and ignore the it.
One year is a decent to prevent the revolving door and most people in the government you cannot take a job,even after that year, directly related to contracts you awarded. This change is really something that should of been changed in federal law, this executive over is worthless.
To back up how worthless Obama's change is, on the same day he signed this he sent William J. Lynn for confirmation. Mr Lynn has been appointed to directly manage and award contracts for people and projects he lobbied for less then 6 months ago. Must be a change in the definition of lobbyist. He is not the only person Obama has appointed who lobbied to Congress less then 1 year ago, but those are easy to pass off since they were not registered lobbyists.

And the reason the messages were not recorded on the automatic systems were that they were using blackberries and other systems that were provided for private and political reasons. Since they were not able to get similar devices for official purposes and people being people they used what was around.
Oops my mistake should of read the whole message then I would of seen you are the fools who is fabricating illegal actions.
Yea,
Here I was expecting to see something like that and I all got after all the clicks was some guy plugging an Atari peripheral into an Atari computer.
Make yourself famous record a video of yourself plugging a PS/2 mouse into a computer and using it with Vista.
part of the problem with this one is that connects to one of 5 time servers to get the date. Once it has that information it follows a formula to determine what "master" web server to connected to; once connected to the "master" it downloads more software and can upload info. The people running the "master" have been generating a bunch sites each day using fake information, so each day you have figure out what the real site is and then get the blocked or shutdown. However once the new day come around you have all the clients attempting to reconnect to the new site.
With the way this thing is going it will be require for ISPs to monitor and then block the port and alert the zombie customers, but once this it is publicly known that this is going to happen the next days version of the software is going to have a different port in it.
At the very least give a free upgrade to those who purchased Vista Ultimate, so far the only things of worth they have gotten is a so-so poker game and a neat puzzle game called Tinker.
I would do it and I have an 11 year old car.
I am somewhat thinking about getting a new car but everything I like is not that much of a change from what I have now, or in the $40,000 range, and my current car easily has a bunch of more years in it. With a blue book value of my current car under $2000 a rebate of $2500 plus whatever I can get from the scrapyard would probably make go car shopping.
It has already been done unless you have some proof that Star Wars Galaxies actually had some thought behind it.
The nice thing about this article is that Raph is out spending his time on worthless stuff instead of sending his time creating a high profile game. He is really good at writing papers on how stuff should work but he cannot implement his own ideas.
We could call it the National Medal of Arts and award to people who are "...are deserving of special recognition by reason of their outstanding contributions to the excellence, growth, support and availability of the arts in the United States."
BTW Stan Lee was one of the winners this year.
However probably the most know are the Kennedy Center Honors which while not given by the nation are well known because they show up on TV whenever they happen.
The benefit of the GPS system is that they are tied to reporting hardware so that you can be billed on a quarterly or monthly time period, if you removed the GPS you would have to tie it into the odometer system which would vary per vehicle. States don't want to have to wait a year for your money.

while not in XML the people and volunteers at http://readthestimulus.org/ have posted a google spreadsheet at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pV-c6t5fOVmNorqMpHvnCMw complete except for a final validation check.
As the bill gets changed they plan to update the site and spreadsheet.
