That does make sense considering that Greyhound and other bus companies are lobbying for breakdown lane access on the main highway north of Boston to NH. These same breakdown lanes are open to all traffic during rush hour, so this would likely make traffic even worse.

Traffic around Boston is a nightmare, so much so that I won't even consider commuting from just-inside-the-outer-belt (495) to downtown. We have a train station in town, but the lot is entirely full by 6:45AM, and the private parking nearby is 250 dollars a month. And with 8 stops on the way in I can't imagine it is timely at all.

We never built the Inner Belt nor extended the NW and SW highways into Boston, so there are only 3.5 main routes in.

The Big Dig mostly functional now, but the traffic jams have just moved to the middle belt (Rt128/95) and other suburban areas. For example, we have the northern 4 line highway connected to the 4 lane east/west highway by a single lane offramp that has a speed limit of only 20MPH since it was designed in the 1950s for the east/west highway being only 2 lanes then. It would be possible to put raised ramps in, but during commute hours it wouldn't help anyway.

No wonder this state is losing population, all the traffic of NYC and LA, but almost none of the cachet.

C'mon, you'd open your wallet for another TIE Fighter game.

They've been on my HOSTS block for years, ever since one of those annoying GIF popups damn near gave me a seizure bouncing in its frame. Have they improved since?

They are almost exclusively in the girls sets though. Since the late 90s LEGO seems to believe girls can't build anything but 50 piece mansions so those sets are almost useless to make anything else. :(

As opposed to wasting HDD space instead?

Even if you don't drive, having a license now will cause your insurance to be far lower if you do start driving.

Also, while the kernel of NT was based on VMS when David Cutler stole his old work from DEC, it was forced to integrate numerous historical poor choices of DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95 to provide backwards compatibility.

Windows NT was released well before Windows 95 was, and did not include DOS.

The New York Times and Boston.com websites have been infected before. It's just a matter of time before these things become more like ransomware.

How so? Sure he may get done for selling stolen property but apparently the money was for exclusivity, so who knows, everything is pretty circumstantial and really what would Apple get out of this? Maybe a bit of money, but even that's unlikely since he is a student, what would be the point of pursuing it?

It's a sad day when we impose such obligations by law (that's if we do - you made no citation). Theft requires the intent to deprive somebody of their possession. No such intent can be proven here since the dude merely found something *AND* made an attempt to return it. He is under no obligation to return it and shouldn't be.

Yeah, Wired won't pay you to give them somebody else's property, but they'll gladly accept it for free.

Lawyers hate to have engineering types on the jury. At least one side in nearly every case knows that they have squat and are going to try to BS the jury and play to their emotions. Engineering types tend to be more fact based and don't BS as easily.

Yes, it is unlikely they haven't achieved there own ill thought out and myopic pet theory.

Inevitable? based on....what? The raving of a man who sells vitamins as a cure all and hasn't contributed any work in over 30 years?

" They will be machines."
Maybe.

That's quite possible. I'm just having trouble finding settings that let it be seekable, without torpedoing the quality.

Tons of keyframes does work, but the bitrate required goes up quite a bit.

Well it was before the Supreme Court fucked the citizens of the US out of their freedom with a truly horrible interpretation of the commerce clause.
