Well, what I meant was that they should have taken both classes of passenger into account.

Ideally this means having lines segregated by socioeconomic status. You don't want to go to the airport and the ghetto.

It's actually not infeasible for people to live in caves for more than five years. Enough of them not to avoid serious inbreeding on the way back to humanity? Probably not. But that won't really stop 'em, will it?

If you need a cruise missile that can fly through a meter square window after flying 1,500 miles, sure, they aren't cheap. But the only thing stopping a hobbyist from turning a model rocket into a cruise missile besides being sensible enough to want to avoid visits from the men in black is that the GPS units refuse to play that game.

Drones do not yet compete with goons with machetes, but that day will come sooner that you like. However, they are highly competitive with actual trained soldiers already. And if you just throw any and all ethics over the shoulder and go ahead and use chemical weapons and so on, one teensy tiny little plastic piece of shit can kill a whole bunch of people.

The drones we are discussing are aircraft. Some of them were designed first and foremost for surveillance, and most of those were designed specifically with long loiter time in mind specifically for that mission. HTH, HAND.

That is false not only at first brush, but also when considered in depth. Intelligent cameras have been a thing for years now. The cameras themselves are gaining the ability to determine when there's something worth shooting, with algorithms beyond simple motion detection.

Any needless consumption of energy whose results are unknown should be abhorred. The endless cycle of having to buy new crap because the old crap failed (as opposed to the endless cycle of buying new crap because the old crap is outdated, which we could at least debate) is really an insufferable lot of shit. And there's just a lot of energy going to waste when it would cost very little to retain more of it. And then of course there's war, which these days is a horrible consumer of energy and producer of pollution. War's always had significant environmental impact, but it's well off the charts now by ancient standards. To deforestation you can add all kinds of fun goodies like depleted uranium.

You're right about the lack of sense of scale, though.

But this just comes right back to how BART is stupid. Because when you build public transportation, it's going to be used by people who don't have cars, and to not take them into account is fucking stupid. Also, it's just stupid not to have the rail be able to take commuters from an airport to downtown no matter how you slice it. That should have been an initial design goal.

We were thinking you could fire 500,000, from one of the smaller companies?

Fire one million.

Nobody has to break into Google to get your data, Google will hand it over to the government on request. Is it Evil to comply with an Evil order?

See, this is what happened to all the Atlantean artifacts, except theirs had to be plugged in to not disintegrate ;)

This must be a plot in some extant sci-fi novel already, right? I suppose there's similarities in Ringworld.

None of the EVs are actually price-competitive at purchase time without a big rebate. A gasser that fulfills the same function, probably with a little less acceleration but otherwise equivalent, is still cheaper. Your full-size SUV will cost significantly more or have very crap range.

There was a hybrid Durango, but it cost $85k and Dodge terminated it for lack of interest. No shit, huh? I can't imagine who wouldn't want to pay Viper prices for a sluggish SUV.

On the other hand, the Denali's name is a barely-transposed acronym. Get a smaller car.

No, no you didn't address why vnc doesn't cover those use cases. You made some excuses, but it works fine in most of them, or is almost adequate. I've been running X remotely since before vnc existed. You have no idea whatsoever what I've done, and I have plenty of perspective on the way X remoting is used. Further, I read your shitty comment, and I thought it was stupid but I chose to ignore the parts I thought were stupid and simply write a simpler comment that explained precisely what the problem was. But since you're being such a whiny little baby about this, let's go ahead and go back and see what you said, and why it is stupid. And in fact, it will also reveal why this comment of yours is stupid, and hopefully establish a pattern of stupidity so that when I call you an idiot I am modded insightful instead of troll or flamebait.

Let's begin.

This sentence is not only tortured, but ignorant. It's ignorant for a number of reasons, but only one is important: you can run multiple VNC client sessions on a single machine and, if your window management system permits it, tile them so that you can see them all at once.

Also, what the actual fuck? Are they supposed to be looking at it all, or perhaps part of it, on screens which are behind them? I suppose they could install a mirror above their primary display for this purpose.

Now, on to the reason why this comment that I am replying to is stupid: I did in fact address your comment in my comment, proving beyond any doubt to anyone with more than two neurons to spark against one another that I did read your blather. I said, and I quote, "Also, there's no reason you couldn't have a single-window vnc-like tool." You went on to complain that I apparently didn't read your comment after I addressed it. If your reading comprehension skills had progressed beyond Hop on Pop then perhaps you would have recognized this fact, and saved me the trouble of chastising you again.

In summary, take your meds, fucko.

I'm sorry, did you catch your knickers in the paper shredder that morning?

Anything that empowers poor people making $120K or less a year must be stopped. Solar power at home? how unamerican!
The GOP hates americans, they hate Poor people even more.

Apps are for poor people who can barely afford the phone they have, Your type of biking and your age means you can actually afford the correct device, Get a Garmin designed for what you are doing, far better in every way. Oregon 600t is absolutely fantastic for trail riding and get's rid of all the limitations that a smartphone has. Like being readable in broad daylight.
