And as for bankruptcies?
[Read the article: Ask the pilot]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Paramount. We need more of them. Let's do away with this insane notion that air travel is practical, useful or affordable for the vast majority of people. Let's reduce capacity by 50% and ratchet prices to the sky so that at least they can turn a buck. If that means millions of people can't fly? So what. It's not a right. At least then the people who can still fly will get somewhat more reasonable service. The airlines might even pretend to care what their passengers want and are willing to pay for. It would be the end of going NY Philadelphia DFW to get to Austin. It would be the end of hearing how a 30 hr layover is really a connecting flight.
And just think of the new industries that would spring up to support the TSA's new ventures in non airline travel.

I don't know what's dumber
[Read the article: Where have all the bohemians gone?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The book or the review of the book.
Where do you get off with platitudes like "NoCal" is the heart of the tech industry in America. Really? All the people in Boston, Austin, RTP, Albany, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Birmingham would like a word with you sir. I live in the #1 area for per capita post graduate degrees in the US and I can assure you it's nowhere near NoCal. It's also nowhere as near expensive to live in either.
People don't simultaneously flock to cities and also not move because they're not tied to place. I can move to any place on earth I can afford to live in, tomorrow and it wouldn't matter in the least for my livelihood. I am not bound by location or timezone. But that doesn't mean that Capetown is the same thing as San Diego. That doesn't mean I don't care if I live in Detroit vs Boca Raton. And it doesn't mean that my family won't care or won't worry about those difference either.
On the other hand living requirements don't align with 'spikiness' or nubbiness as I call it. Nubbiness is the fact that in a flat world there are really only a small number of urban centers that drive the whole thing. Perhaps as few as a few hundred urban centers world wide. China for instance has more than a hundred cities of more than 1 million people each. But only one Hong Kong.

Being no expert on Sharia, I
[Read the article: The Asiatic vs. Italian fake hair showdown]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I would like to know if all the Islamic women in the world could shave their heads and then happily go about w/o hijab, niqab, chador, purdah, and whatnot. Isn't their hair supposed to turn men in Satyrs? Well if they sold their hair that would fix the problem.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Urban myth. It was how the hair was processed. I also object to Ultra. As opposed to what. Wigs are fairly common across the entire spectrum of Orthodox. And for you women out there enjoying chemotherapy, the recommendation is to always contact an Orthodox woman for her wig suppliers, they are known to be the best.

Going off half cocked and asserting it as absolute truth
[Read the article: Actually, TiVo can't predict "American Idol" losers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That's kind of what the net IS. You even wrote a book about it. Any it seems reasonable that people who watch the show would give you some indication of who they like - except when the positive responses are self selective. In other words TiVO won't count the people who really hate the show or the people on it but watch it nonetheless. Similarly EIB/Hate Radio/Rush claim, and it might only be apocryphal, but, they claim that more people who listen in Hate Rush than Like Rush. There's a certain perverse logic to that.
I think in the future the ultimate TV show will be a black screen with a number tick that simply displays the number of viewers tuned in. It's like petTV for people. Or the postmodern Aquarium in Hell.

I'm sure it's fine
[Read the article: Obama and the white working class]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]To his followers he's simply putting "Those people" in their place. You know I speak the truth. You're just too PC to admit it out loud. Though smearing the church won't go down well with his core Black Church constituency. Maybe it was a code word for "White Church" or something like that. You know, those no shoes wearing snake handling cousin humping Pentacostals and such.
