I completely agree that there is too much advertising out there, and alot of it is crap, and many advertisers like to use underhanded techniques to get their product in our minds. However, to suggest that all (or even most) advertising needs to be abolished is absolutely insane. I think you (and everyone like you -- that is to say the ad haters) need to sit down and take a look at how vital advertising is.
I think you are missing the point of tickets. The Government doesn't issue tickets or make laws to make money, tickets are punishment for breaking the law. Taxes are for funding.
Also, it isn't the Government's responcibility to make sure you get your daily excercise. By your logic the Government might as well disallow cars from entering the city center. Plus, this is Canada, not America. Our obesity stats are going up but we can't possibly compete on that front.
maybe you should try to RTFA before you judge it's accuracy. The few sentences above that very screenshot make a note that it is not from Beta 2.

You gave them permission by choosing and installing iTunes. They arn't exactly forcing this on you, and arn't you getting a little worked up over a feature(that many people actually use) which can be easily turned off?
buzzwords like "dark fiber" "secret underground garages" and "dropped off overnight" and even "peering points"
How are any of those buzzwords? They seem to indicate exactly what they mean in an accurate and efficient way. I'm guessing the author chose those words because that is exactly what he wanted to say.
If anything YOU are guilty of useing the "stylish or trendy word or phrase" buzzword
Although your idea is technically correct, this is a hydrogen fuel cell car. There is no combustion; they bond hydrogen to OH and make water plus electricity. The electricity runs an electric motor and thusly the car goes.
Assuming that you've actually played a console game before I am rather surprised in your disbelief. May I point all the nay-sayers to something ALL of us has gone through: attempting to pull your character over the chasm you just tried to jump by moving the controller. Everyone moves the controller in responce to what there character is doing, and without serious training it's quite hard to stop this behavior. Just stop and look the next time you are sitting with your buddies in front of your console, those controllers will be flailing in every tense moment. Why? Because that is the intuitave thing to do, and this is exactly the behavior the Revolution will be tapping into. At least attempt to think about the subject before you make your baseless claims.
Why provide cellphone signal in uninhabited areas?
It's not as though people only bring their laptops to and from work/school. I for one would love to be able to stay in touch with e-mail on a camping trip (or any other outing for that matter), especially if someone gets hurt.
Also, people travel through those uninhabited areas on a regular basis, it would be kind of useless if you could only get access near your destination/beginning point.
I'd like to know where the hell the lifeguards were if they needed to be paged about a drowning patron. You'd think sitting there and watching the pool with your own eyes would be enough.
Keep in mind that our economy is completely virtual too. Money is just a promise from the government that this particular peice of paper or hunk of metal is worth something useful. Our "real world" isn't as "real" as many people choose to believe.
Actually, this kid lives in residence on the University of Waterloo campus, the water from the taps in the res rooms is very cold (I am a student in Waterloo, with many friends in rez), just like getting it from a fridge except this water is cooled by the ground. So there is no heat generated by a fridge or freezer. If you had avoided the your ass umption that he had used a fridge for the water you would have been correct, but as it stands, you are the "retard".

What people need to understand is that kids are people, and when they are treated that way they behave that way. Just like anyone else.

Maybe you should read the article:

or even some info on the car itself:

The current price here is about 45-60$ CAD a gram. So that would work out to (at most) 100 grams. For you americans that is roughly 3.5 ounces.
