The better question is, why should all citizens subsidize a business whose model it is to use public facilities to turn a profit?

Perhaps you didn't really comprehend GP's post. Those parking spaces are being monetized by a private corporation. Said corporation throws some chump change at the city government. And, taxpayers are still paying for all that paved area, the corporation has not assumed any responsibilities in providing parking spaces.

Taxpayers are ENTITLED to park on the city streets, because they PAID FOR those streets.

What I read in a related study, is that there is a "sweet spot" for the correctly sized lanes. 10 to 10 1/2 feet in width makes for safer driving. Reducing below 10 feet in width and increasing over 10 1/2 feet both make driving less safe. Those skinny little streets with 8, or even 7 foot wide lanes are definitely UNSAFE.

Derp-a-derp - women are smarter than that. Haven't you been paying ANY attention?

Farming? That's a lot closer to 50/50 than most city or urban people might think. I'm not saying it is exactly 50/50, just a lot closer than non-farmers would believe. The work has to be done, after all, and the whole family pitches in, and does the work.

In fact, in ancient societies, the women WERE the farmes, and the men only deigned to perform tasks that the women found impossible to do.

Great link. Thank you for it!

Girls and boys are different. Men and women are different. Despite all the gay-wad bullshit with cross-gendered people, the vast majority of men are men, and women are women.

You want female engineers? Give them a fucking REASON to want to be engineers! If that means gender focused toys, tools, or whatever, GIVE IT TO THEM!

There simply are not any women who find all of my activities appealing. That's because they aren't men. The most masculine women in the world thinks that guys are a pain in the ass, and stupid, for all the crap we do.

STOP TRYING TO CHANGE THEM! RESPECT THEM AS THEY ARE!

The ladies have some legitimate complaints about us guys, but you can't turn men into women, either. Sometimes, we're going to get under each other's skins. It happens. Hell, even MEN get under my skin sometimes, and I ARE ONE!

So - ladies, come on in, join the crowd. And, if the odd guy gets to damned obnoxious, just kick him in the nuts. It's doubtful you'll have to repeat it. Word gets around. "That woman ain't going to put up with no shit! Cool it!"

"DPS puffs up its stats the way Donald Trump puffs his hair."

Face it, cops are cops. They get off on the adrenaline rush when the make a bust, and then they get off on bragging about it afterwards. And, of course the bragging gets inflated.

Except, in this case, they never even made a bust!

The problem is, the music isn't the artist's property. The labels claim all the rights. The artists theoretical royalties invariably end up being a shit sandwich, without much bread. The labels signed the deal with Apple, because they know that the artists have signed away all their rights already.

Political speech was the primary form of speech on the founding father's minds. Religious speech would have been secondary. All other forms of speech are included, of course, but political and religious enemies are the most dangerous.

The comment in question falls under political speech. The commenter is commenting on a political candidate, after all. Calling a candidate a pedophile hardly differs from the bipartisan mudslinging that takes place in most elections anyway.

IMO, the Supreme Court has exceeded it's authority in this case.

Whatever you use for a router can do it. I have a Netgear open source router. Flashed it with Tomato firmware, then installed the MVPS Hosts file on it. A startup script updates the Hosts file at boot, and then every four days after booting. Of course, the concept isn't exclusive to Netgear, or to commercial routers. Install it on your gateway, whatever that gateway may be.

I would be interested to hear how much bandwidth you save by blocking advertising for a company. I'd also be interested in learning how much your internet improves in terms of responsiveness. It made a big difference for me, but I don't administer hundreds or thousands of computers.

Yes, of course it is. If I'm browsing YOUR site, then I've implied that I have some trust in YOUR site. Cross site scripting demands that I also trust those other ten, twenty, fifty, or maybe even thousand other sites. If you demand that kind of trust, then I don't need your site. Drive-by installation of malware is far to common for us to trust all those unidentified sites.

Learn wresting on the intartubez? I'm afraid that I won't believe that until it's demonstrated for me. I'm really not sure how serious you are with that though, is it just an example you threw out there?

Atlas at least thinks differently. As I understand it, rather than feed you a zillion links to the same data, it attempts to find your data, and related data. I'm not real sure how good, or how bad that is, but it's different.

Oh, you wanna get personal. I'm six foot even, and I weigh 200 pounds. I'm not proud of that 200 pounds, I would be perfectly healthy anywhere between 165 and 180, but here I am 200 pounds. Sixty years old, with a pot belly. But - I would argue about being a "fat fuck". Just how fat do you think a man can be, with that height and weight?

And, how about you? Bill Cosby had you in mind when he did his skits about Fat Albert?
