Yes, but you can function with one of the cheaper cards, you don't have to have the most expensive option.

The only difference between the iPhone 4s 32Gb and 64 Gb is 32Gb of memory. The difference in price is $100. Are you all going to vilify Apple the same way for not including the ability to insert SD cards?

I fully agree with the aristocracy observation.

Included in that is the inbreeding that eventually leads to ineffective and insane members. Many are fully functional, but a few are just way out there.

"... they assumed that the data would be used to improve traffic safety and road engineering"

I don't know about the Netherlands, but for most communities in the US this function is performed by Public Works.

A poor lie at best.

Or pages for people's pets.

The 1 out of 13 figure assumes that every page corresponds to 1) a human, and 2) a human that only has one account.

Blatant attempt at sensationalizing with complete disregard for reality.

Pretty soon the Chess Federation and other intellectual competitions will have to start testing people for brain tampering.

How is that any different that Americans claiming that Budweiser is beer?

Is there any type of official restriction as to who can buy these? As these become more common, it will be harder to keep track of all of them. How long before some pedophile/voyeur gets a hold of one of these and manages to convert it into an Ice Cream truck?

Won't someone please think of the children.

It's cheap from a direct cost standpoint, but the opportunity cost is huge.

The bumper probably costs them much less than $1.00 to make, but they sell it at $25. That is a huge profit that they would lose if the gave them out for free.

It's more likely that they will recreate the elite program to allow celebrities and politicians to bypass the scanners.

I'm much more concerned that they do checks to make sure the people operating the machines aren't pedophiles.

Cost cutting is not the issue. Time is.

Political pressure to not impact the commute is severe. The cost to productivity for each work day the bridge is closed is in the millions.

They would have gladly spent more money if it meant getting the bridge open sooner. They rushed it the first time, hopefully they took the proper amount of time this try.

Living in one of the states where it has been illegal to talk on a cell phone without handsfree for over a year I can say I have noticed no reduction in the number of people I see using their phones without handsfree devices.

A new law does not magically make the behavior stop. It requires awareness and enforcement. Neither of which I have seen them make any effort towards around here (a couple of billboards could go a long way).

I've never seen myself and Batman in the same room.

OMG!

I'm Batman. Why didn't I see it before? It explains so much.

Teached?

You must have used the free English textbook.

With the recent economy, even if he had the money then, its gone now.
