  1. Re:Pedestrian problems? on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    Given where our energy situation is going in the west, any idea that forces people to walk farther to improve car traffic flow is plain stupid.

    energy as in gasoline and electricity? so people would refuse to walk around roundabouts because the price of oil is going up?

  2. Re:Oooh, phear the phishing on ICANN Domain Expansion Could Increase Phishing · · Score: 1

    What part of this is confusing you?

    The next paragraph FTFA:

    The new domains will also change how ICANN works, as it will have a role in policing how gTLDs are operated, bought and sold. Until now, it has overseen names and performed some other tasks but has been little involved in the Internet's thornier issues.

    So to take your example, '.llc', the owner of .llc will probably reserve and offer chase.llc to Chase. (and probably for more than $10)

  3. Re:Mining is dangerous. on Man Mines Midtown New York Sidewalks · · Score: 1
    From The Artice:

    "The stones are already cut and manufactured -- it's a step above a mine," he added. "I'm finding them already cut and polished. "You just have to get down on your knees and get it," he said. "It's the same principal as collecting cans on the street and redeeming them for nickels. It's redemption of reusable gold. This is the gold that has been on this street for 60 years. I know how to look, and I know where to look for it."

    The reason the article makes no mention of chemicals is because he doesn't use any.

  4. Re:A questionable business model, at best on Amazon Tests a Home-Delivery Service For Groceries · · Score: 2

    So explain to me why anyone would intentionally get into this business?

    Come to the UK and you will see that most of the major supermarkets offer this service.

    A company called Ocado have been doing this since 2002 and dont have any physical stores, everything is picked from a central warehouse.

    Tesco's largest stores will have around 4 or 5 vans that will deliver your order meaning your order wont come from a central warehouse but from a store that is closest to you. They even have a iPhone app that lets you scan the barcodes of the products you use to add to your basket.

    Who is your target audience?

    Everyone who shops for groceries who might want them delivered.

  5. Re:I skipped Snow Leopard on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud · · Score: 1

    Can you highlight in my previous post where I said you can install the app store in leopard? I see "upgrade" and "to snow leopard" in order to get "mac app store". I also pointed out my mistake in my first post "but failed to put Snow in front of the Leopard".

  6. Re:I skipped Snow Leopard on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud · · Score: 1

    Surprisingly I did read the link, but failed to put Snow in front of the Leopard in my post. I assumed that anyone with Leopard and read the link would see that they would need to upgrade to Snow Leopard in order to get the Mac App Store.

  7. Re:I skipped Snow Leopard on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud · · Score: 1

    you can get the App Store now which is available for Leopard: http://www.apple.com/mac/app-store/ Once Lion is available you can then upgrade from there
