I'll be over here using Thunderbird/Icedove. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I used any Yahoo service or product. If Yahoo disappeared from the internet forever, I don't think I'd even notice. What does Yahoo even do that people find valuable anymore?
Your personal preferences != everyone else's personal preferences.
I use Yahoo Mail flat out. I also use their weather service and movie guide to find out what's on locally. Struth, I nearly choked when I read your post.
Reminds me of that other abomination of usability, the ZX80 keyboard. Also, I once saw someone use a PC monitor the same way, scrolling around different parts of the screen. It was painful just to look at it. I imagine it's like reading a vandalised web page where you have to scroll horizontally to read every line.
I'm sure California's laws are also rather restrictive regarding employment law.
Not true. California is an 'at will' state. You can be employed 'at will,' meaning that unless you're in some unionised job, you can be terminated as soon as your employer feels like it.
Form the Peoples' Republic of the ISS! The flag would be two horizontal stripes, black on top of blue, and a white star in the middle.
Seriously though, if Earth's orbit gets any more populated, this is going to be an issue. If orbiting settlements ever get going, they might wish to break away and become self-governing.
Every government wants to make itself more powerful and the rival government weaker.
Do try to refrain from projecting your government's imperial ambitions onto everyone else. There are a lot of governments in the world, such as European ones, that are more interested in just getting on with the business of making life better for their citizens.
I wonder will these politicians be as robust in their denunciation of China's human rights record the next time a Chinese trade delegation pays them a visit.
Say, a group of 20 terrorists goes to 20 of these stations and puts one bomb on one of these cars. Because of the 'sharing,' people would very quickly stop using these. I'm not saying it is going to happen, just that it could.
Jesus wept. This 'terrorists might be able to use it' mantra is becoming as tiresome as the 'beowolf cluster' one.
Sprry to hear your marriage is in such a bad way.
Yes I ama single guy but I've been in relationships where the little blue pill has brought it all back to life. It's all good.
Guess what? Communism doesn't work. See also: The Tragedy of the Commons.
Public libraries are the same. Let people borrow books? Yeah right, they're just going to steal them and not return them. These library things are never going to catch on. People would rather own books so that they can have them sitting on the shelf even after they're finished reading them.
And what's this I hear about a company called Zipcar offering hourly car rentals in cities all over the US? Ha! It'll never catch on. I'll bet those commies will find their shared cars being full of graffiti and ripped seats and radios ripped out for drug money.
Don't knock it, mate. That Viagra is great stuff. Could be one of the defining inventions of our time. Seriously, think about the number of marriages that have hit the rocks because the girl (usually younger) can't get all of her needs satisfied anymore. One drug has made that a thing of the past.

Most rural areas have not been deregulated. Unless the area was a "Bell Holdings Company" (owned by Ma Bell before the company was split), regulations still exist preventing competition in that region. Whoever owns the area has every [legal] right to say no to expansion.
Please tell me where competition exists in the provision of urban broadband internet access in the USA so that the country folk can emulate it.
What an under-rated piece of software. Its integration was way ahead of MS Works. I used Claris Works all the way through college, I had it customized like crazy and had a load of repetitive jobs all automated with ease. I still use Appleworks to this day for preparing documents and simple brochures. I'll carry on using it too. "Prying from cold dead fingers" and all that.
If Gore had campaigned on a platform of "keep doing what my predecessor did, except I'm faithful to my wife", he very well could have had an undisputable win in 2000.
Well he got half of that right by snogging / making out with her on stage.
You forgot to add "in the USA." The USA isn't the only country in the world. American motorists are not the only motorists in the world. Incidentally, what's with all these Minis, motorbikes and scooters I see parked around the streets of San Francisco and other high density urban centers, hmmm? What's with all the bicyclists everywhere? Bicycles aren't much good for bringing hardware home from Home Depot but it doesn't seem to stop people from riding them. Every single American wants to drive a Hummer? I don't think so.
This seems to happen every time a story is posted about a new small (usually electric) car. Someone pounces in with his personal 'need' for a six-wheeler Ford F250 to haul his fishing nets and 2x4 pieces of timber around at the weekend and he projects that fetish on to the rest of the human race. It doesn't seem to occur to some people that there is a thing called market segmentation. There's a place for small cars, there's a place for light trucks, there's a place for sports coupes, there's a place for AWD station wagons, etc. "Clueless" indeed!

I think I can take that as a no.

Do you understand the meaning of 'shared?'

'Scuse my ignorance but I thought Pioneer 10 was farthest away. Weren't the Pioneers launched launched before the Voyagers?
