...I know nobody ever reads TFA, but there doesn't actually seem to be one here. Just a link to the company's website, and two articles to provide context to the non-existent article.

Two fallacies, here. First, places with good public transportation are correlated with a higher standard of living, not the other way around, and some of that is direct cause and effect. I don't blame you for not knowing this, because it's likely you're an American, and thus likely that you haven't spent much time (much less lived) in such a place, and you can't love what you don't know.

The second error was that no one said anything about giving up your personal transport -- just using it less. Reducing the problem to absolutes is to create a false dichotomy. There will be no 100% solutions.

But lets face it; most starting bands are low on money, do it part time and if you've ever listened to demo's they suck.

The musical instruments and other equipment needed to play live shows cost far more than the equipment needed to record it. And I heard Duane Mahoney's (Eddie Money) demo that he cut for his producer before the producer did, and the finished version was far, far better than the demo. That three minute demo cost him $200 back in 1975 (might have been '74, I don't remember exactly whe it was).

He's a good singer and good musician, but he's no better than a lot of my friends who play here locally who make CDs that are every bit as good as almost anything that has come from the major labels.

The labels aren't there to fuck everyone over, but the fact is they DO fuck almost everyone over, from their artists to their customers.

You say "I think record labels are needed to support the artists", well, how about some logical arguments instead of "I think"?

if you've ever listened to demo's they suck. Well they dont

Your insanely illiterate misuse of the apostrophe begs a link to Bob's quick guide to the apostrophe, you idiots (Bob the Angry Flower)

Well - part of the efficiency is derived from the vehicles low gross weight. Start adding things like a generator, the efficiency goes down. The smaller and lighter a vehicle is, the more even a small amount of weight affects it. So - adding your own generator on a bumper hitch may be alright if you plan on making a trip, and don't expect to find anyplace to recharge. But, for day to day commuting and running around, it would probably suck.

Well, he has been injecting them, but not intravenously.

I see you've been watching Torchwood.

Which is why it becomes so very important for a would-be revolution to have the support of stealth bomber pilots.

Your post, it smells like new meme.

I don't own any vertical surfaces, you insensitive clod!

$370 million to do undergrad-level (at most) grunt work? Isn't that what unpaid interns are for?

Not yet. The RIAA's still making it's layaway payments.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading that a 10-12 in telescope should do the trick. To give a sense of scope, the moon is about 2,160 miles in diameter.

The intentional typo reminds me to ponder:

When I drink and browse, I've noticed that my left hand's reaction time slows more quickly than my right hand's reaction time. This eventually leads to every word that I type having right-hand characters inserted before their left-hand counterparts. The effect gets more and more noticeable as I get more and more drunk.

Am I the only person that this happens to? (And if it happens to you, which hand slows more than the other?)

Non-offensive option (as far as I can tell):
MacGyvering

Or does that only apply when creating something with a new purpose, rather than repairing with readily available items?

...maybe it's time to take it off?
