Meh, sometimes you have to tear it all down and start again to get rid of the rot and corruption. Perhaps some people just like to see how wrong thing can get before it all breaks loose, and have hedged things that way.
From the very short article
There is no train on the route--Amtrak's Desert Wind between Los Angeles and Las Vegas was canceled in 1997 because of low ridership. This has to be a joke/troll. 45 Mil for the environmental study for a already failed train route? I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
I wonder what happens if you wear RF shielded clothing and go through one of these? Do you get the rubdown treatment like when you don't bring ID? I'll have to place an order to the folks at lessemf.com and try it out next time.
I can't help but wonder about untindended consequences. Looking around at all the plastics, having them inadventantly eaten by bacteria would be a BAD thing.
That argument always sounded like a fallacy to me. "I never thought people would ACTUALLY use the uber-cool weapon I built" sounds like what you would say to placate the peaceniks just before you point it at 'em to get them off your lawn.
Good point. It's funny that the "Hybrid" econo-boxes get worse mileage than my Geo Metro. I don't know what the hang up is, but it does not seem to be getting better. Perhaps with gasoline prices going up something will break over and we'll see some improvement.
You might remember it wrong. While I notced some the users claim that you had an old gutless light-weight car (145hp/2500+lbs) I drove a old slant 6 dart a few years ago, and while I didn't log the gas mileage, it was worse than my V6 Daytona.
Not that you don't make a good point, but I was once shot with an arrow. On a similar vein, Sneakernet is very much alive and thriving. I know of several people who run a library of "Time shifted" DVD's.
I think you misunderstand. I meant you would have the ability to reach into the back seat and grab a can of "8 hours quality sleep". IF (and I remain skeptical) this crap works as advertised, you could lead a double life and catch up on actual factual sleep on weekends. As is, I and many people I know DO drive while half asleep. We have a running joke about the car's "Auto-drive" system.
For YEARS I've been saying the first person to make sleep in a can would make a fortune. Being able to work all night, then "Catch up" on my sleep while driving to all day classes would be awesome.
I for one would rather my government quit playing world police force for a change. Not knocking the advances in hardware, but third world dictators are not typically a threat to US sovereignty.
As a person in the industry, something doesnt' sound right about this. Aerial fiber gets shot all the time, but underground is fairly well protected. Sounds like something was mis-reported/Sensationalized.
I always wanted to go through the airport with a shirt that said "Smuggler" and paint "Contraband" on my luggage. It would probably qualify me for "Special Glove" treatment.

I think the key would be the ability to bring your own car along. We are americans after all. Something akin to a ferry boat just might work.

Where is Armadillo Aerospace? So far they're the only contenders to fly in the contest and they're not even on the list.
I agree, Ron Paul does not have much of a chance. Yet I will still vote for him. I'm sick of the "Lesser of two evils" choice.

Say what you will, the way they thumb their nose at the media bullies gains them bonus points in my book. I tip my hat to them and wish them well.

Would this be a bad time for one of those "You must be new here" jokes?

I hope this passes. It's so absurd that it SHOULD wake people up.
As a representative of the entire US of A, the answer is "Nope"
You have it backwards: They skate on Satan and Worship Butter. Plus, this is about the Swiss, not Swedish.
The adaptive grasp concept is freaking awesome. For a glove full of rice it seems a very elegant solution. I tip my hat to these guys.
It looks like it still needs smoothed out a bit. Surfing around at the -1 level is not as fun as I thought it would be.
