I do, but given recent history, I find that fact offers me less comfort now than ever before. The then-presidents didn't need to directly authorize Kent State, Waco, or Ruby Ridge, did they..?
'Does anyone other than the President have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American engaged in combat as we define it while on American soil, or for any reason whatsoever when not on American soil?' The answer to that question is HAHA you don't get an answer to that question.
Eh? The crash was the impetus, but from TFL: "While the 1983 Stratford accident was cited as the main reason for abolishing tolls in Connecticut, the underlying reason was the fact that federal legislation at that time forbade states with toll roads from using federal funds for road projects."
Either way, the point is that there exists at least one state in which 'tolls were retired and the booths torn down.' It's not unprecedented.
If you're familiar with APK, the post itself is a pretty damn funny parody. Or it was the first time I saw it. Posting it to every single news story seems to be crossing the line from parody to emulation...
My mom has had an iPad for over two years, but still uses her AOL-infected...er, -equipped PC daily. Some things just can't be changed. My last maintenance consisted of deleting the ~70 GIGS of cookies and temporary internet files clogging her hard drive.

I'm holding out for an RC version of the Pred-C Avenger.
Is Kelo v. City of New London recent enough? It does not seem like a correct interpretation of eminent domain ("for public use") to me...
I take it that you're serious. Where do you have to show ID for over the counter cold medications?
...
"Over the counter" means "over the counter" - nothing needed except cold cash.
Incorrect. Since 2006, any over-the-counter medication with pseudoephrdrine (or one of several other ingredients) requires ID due to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_Methamphetamine_Epidemic_Act_of_2005 . Thank the meth-heads.
I thought Earth Hour was about reducing thought pollution. But that thought may have been one of the polluted ones.
+1 "Old Boy" reference. On topic.
Baby, no hurt Grug.
Careful. According to TFA, better eyes can make you go extinct.

His whole trite reply is full of weasel clauses.

Ah, gotcha. My brain hadn't registered the alternate parsing. I'd go back and edit if I could.

Came here for this. /thread
I've never lived in a state where the tolls were retired and the booths torn down.
It happened in Connecticut, but at the cost of an accident with 7 fatalities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecticut_Turnpike#Connecticut_abolishes_tolls
I'd seriously doubt he's capable of that level of self-deprecation...

I've already starting growing my army of Sam Rockwell clones!
Two hundred years from now it could be on the History Channel as "Zombie Plagues from the Past".
At least that would mean that in two hundred years, the History Channel will have gone back to showing actual history again.
Nobody tell Bloomberg!
She thought she needed them. I explained that's why her machine was so slow - the remaining cache space was dwindling.
I have since handed over mom's tech support duties to my brother-in-law, since he lives closer to her. Lucky stuckee.

If they're friends, they already know my number and address, or could simply ask me. If they're not a friend, they don't need to call or find me.

You can bet that won't stop them from including HD for the iWatch 2, though. All glorious 1.5" of it. For use with iCokebottleglasses.
And if your grandfather used to be a plumber, you'll get paid for his work until 90 years after his death.
Brilliant!
Egad man, as long as any of our previous three generations worked at all, we're all multi-millionaires! DRM has eliminated poverty!
