...prolly why TFA only mentioned Amtrak employees
But yes, I understand your point as well.

Question... was it an actual cut in current baseline funding, or a "cut" insofar as "we wanted $10 zillion extra for next year's budget, but those bastards in Congress only want to give us $9 zillion extra!" ?
If it's the former, I'd love to see proof. If it's the latter, then kindly take that partisan sound-bite-mimicking bullshit elsewhere.
Brings up a fun question... do Amtrak trains carry something similar to an aircraft in-flight recorder?
Dunno - it's pretty hard to account for why the dude was doing 100+ mph on a 50mph curve.
Not saying it's his fault, but at least the camera would have absolved/proven any culpability on his part almost immediately.
Now normally, cameras would be a bad idea IMHO, but this is a public service operated by public funds.
Unfortunately, so are the libel laws... interesting that TakeTwo specifically went after trademark and not libel (especially in the UK!), isn't it?
Depends... TakeTwo may have trademarks registered in the UK.
Thing is, if the film were an actual documentary instead of a dramatic play, one could easily claim "because journalism!" and then tell TakeTwo's lawyers to go pound sand.

No, no, don't get too excited: It was just a copy of Visual Basic 0.99 that some hominid left lying around.
That's a good rule of thumb for Windows and Linux. Not sure about Apple
On the Apple side, the rule seems to be an iOS-only thing (and even then only recently... thanks iOS 8!)
On the OSX side? 10.0 sucked pretty hard, and (IIRC) 10.2 had some problems, but it's been rather rock-stable since then (at least from my POV - I've used OSX from the ill-fated 10.0 all the way up to Yosemite, but YMMV).
I wish we were losing because that would mean anthropogenic global warming was not going to be a problem.
...in that case, rejoice!
(not holding my breath...)
The distances are irrelevant truth be told, as long as the first and last legs of the trip are equal.
Ice is a legitimate part of the a surface of the Earth and the math works out.
How is that failure?
To be fair, Ice *is* a surface.
The answer is indeed the North Pole, and that brain teaser has been around for what, eons now?
I think I'd quickly answer it, then ask him one that I made up and tested long before that final interview.
What does Richard Stallman think about GTA 5?
As soon as he finishes the mod that turns all the prostitutes and cops with effigies of Bill Gates, we'll find out.
