  1. Re:One idea... on Newspaper Execs Hold Secret Meeting To Discuss Paywalls · · Score: 1

    People are turning away from newspapers in favor of -identical quality- sources which happen to be free, because those sources have been able to appropriate and parrot the same content with ease.

    If you're this far into the comments are you going to read TFA?

    When someone can justify to me the salary paid to A-list actors (and directors, producers, etc) I'll consider paying $10+ for a movie ticket.

    Um, no. You'd likely get a ticket just for not letting off the gas enough going downhill. Clearly stupid.

    Learn to drive.

    I'm not trying to flaimbait here and am getting a bit off topic but if you want to maintain 65 then figure how much to let off the gas when approaching a particular grade. I'm not saying don't do 70+ in the left lane (american) in light traffic but if drivers better knew traffic laws in terms of the safety reasoning behind them then accidents and fatalities would be greatly reduced.

    Now, what was that about the cost of security cameras?

    I'll take a few of their shifts.

    "Nothing anywhere is completely safe. Everything you own is up for grabs at any point in time by anyone who wants it bad enough. Best course of action I can think of is to buy a gun."

    What if what they want really badly is your gun? By your own admission, "Everything you own is up for grabs at any point in time by anyone who wants it bad enough." That would include the gun, seems like.

    buy two guns

  6. old road on Satellite Navigation a Real Crackpot! · · Score: 1

    Me and some friends from college had reunion in upstate new york. Anyone who used directions from mapquest or googlemaps (rather than from the host) ended up at a fence on the edge of a field. According to mapquest and google the road continued on to the house on the other side of the field. The friend whose house we were going to said that there used to be a road there, but that it had gone out of use long ago. Is this a case of a no longer existing road still being on the county records (or wherever they are kept)? Is this something that happens on occasion when using these technologies?

    because we are starting to rely on a single source of information. as diverse as that source may be, in the case of wikipedia, it still causes illness.
