Ahhh yes the new Jews, cell phone drivers, make them wear little yellow stars before you shovel them into the crematoria.

So freakin what even if they DO drive a little slower. Isn't that you safety-fucktards have been screaming about anyhow? Don't you WANT them LESS dangerous? Slower is better. Good, t

"As EVERYONE knows"? I don't. Where I live maybe a quarter of the people you see driving are talking. That means according to your logic 25% of all drivers are driving drunk. If that's true then only 15,000 DUI fatalities is pretty damn good and we should give ourselves a little pat on the back for being such good drunk drivers. Your odds would therefore be higher of dying in a plane crash than dying in a drunk driving accident.

Do you know what causes delays? Being a dumbass. Staring at the green light after you've been waiting for 6 minutes for the light to change. Slowing down randomly and hesitating at that 7th attempt to make a right turn you're not quite sure of. Driving in the left lane 20mph under the speed limit when ANYONE is behind you. Not yielding to the right or making any left turn because God forbid anyone in your fucking zipcode is coming down the road at you. That's what slows you down.

On the other hand the dangerous people are the soccer moms who will not ever yield, they'd rather t-bone you. The young women in 10 year old Hondas zigzagging at 85mph in heavy traffic. The old people in the White Buick (never drive near a White Buick) who don't know whether they want to shit or drive on the sidewalk. The 50 year old Harley riding assholes. The Mexicans in the ricer. And don't forget the 22 year old cop in the Crown Vic who REALLY DOES own the road. Yesterday one of them hit 2 cars head on near me.

You are a fucking genius and professional journalists are all third rate.

In fact any newspaper south of the Mason Dixon is third rate. Thanks for clearing that up. While you're at it. Could you please take time out of curing cancer and mathematically proving the existence of god to save all the babies too?

Seriously. Who among you would and who among you would take the typically holistic, let's fix everything BUT biology approach. I know of not a single woman who would claim to want to sacrifice one iota of control over to a drug like that.

Are generally over 50 across the board. That's a much more critical demographic than anything else. What you're watching, all the media tongue thrusting notwithstanding, is a vote among the elderly, the retired, the stay at homes. Maybe that's a fem issue, but I think not.

Since it's clearly paid placement agitprop. Reading Salon is like reading the back of section A of the WSJ in terms of getting 'truth'. It's not even op-ed, it's stealth advertising.

They simply don't want to stock the material anymore. They figure they can shove the technical problems of forcing all that media down the pipe on to the cable company who you KNOW is going to fight it to protect their movie on demand offering.

Anyway it's not really instant. It's downloaded and then they'll have to figure out how to expire it. My pipe is on good day 4Mbps downlink. That would translate to 280 minutes download time for an 8.4GB DVD. Which is more or less 2.5x the real time playback time. So accounting for inline buffering while playback you would need about 60 to 80 minutes download time before playback. Now I'm sure TW would be thrilled to sell me an 8Mbps fat pipe for another $50/month but that sort of defeats the whole purpose.

That requires a cop to sit next to you in the car and he beats you with his baton if your attention flags. No talking no radio no kids no eating no coffee no head turning. Second violators will be tasered.

Then I want a law that requires everyone to wear a bike helmet in the bathtub and another law to prohibits talking while walking and chewing gum. In fact I need to see everyone strapped down to a gurney at all times and drugged into a coma lest they do something dangerous. Or worse, irritating to the nanny class.

If Jay-Z's iPhone loaded with Jay-Z content and Jay-Z skins and Jay-Z ringtones and the home page is Jay-Z, if they make it cheaper I'm all for it. Because the Sprint Beyonce Upstage phone is $100 more than the regular Upstage. Which is a joke. Really.

Into which companies and people to poach first. This is not a case of 30 people all waking up and deciding that forming their own multi billion dollar company from Zero was a good idea. No, if nothing the industrial espionage efforts of the PRC are very very good and fine. They know what they want to do and then they proceed to go after the strategic requirements to do that. This is far cheaper than entering into licensing agreements. I would say that there was a PRC think tank that cast a net out to find which technologies inside AM were important, aka what were the strategic advantages that AM has, and then they decided to go after each of the people who had a hand in that. After a certain point, it's smarter if you're a target, to just go along. If you fight, your old employer won't trust you anymore so you might as well go to the dark side. In my business we call this 'technology transfer'.

And I decided we need to elect the best cook who can handle light easy to make meals to the White House.
