Man Builds His Own Subway 174

jerryjamesstone writes "Everybody is into rail these days; it is the greenest way to get around next to a bike. Leonid Mulyanchik has been into it for years since before the Berlin Wall fell, since before the first Macintosh, building his own private underground Metro railway system. English-Russia says that he has been doing it with his pension, that it is all legal and approved and that he is still at it. Gizmodo calls it 'Partly the traditional, inspiring, one man against all odds type of persistence, but more the obsessive, borderline insane persistence.'" Update: 06/02 07:33 GMT by T : And if you're the type to visit Burning Man, you can actually ride a home-made monorail this summer, too.

Submission + - UK national ID card cloned in 12 minutes (computerweekly.com) 1

Death Metal writes: "The prospective national ID card was broken and cloned in 12 minutes, the Daily Mail revealed this morning.

The newspaper hired computer expert Adam Laurie to test the security that protects the information embedded in the chip on the card.

Using a Nokia mobile phone and a laptop computer, Laurie was able to copy the data on a card that is being issued to foreign nationals in minutes."

Journal Journal: Why can't...

Why can't c++ just have fricken regular expressions just built in? I just don't want to dick around with the boost lib between machines.

Ok, so here's what ya do. Empty some of our land fills into New Orleans, then use the city as target pratice for our Military to level the city. This should add a good 2-3 feet to the city. Then fill it in with whatever other crap we can gather up, top off the last 4-5 feet or so with rocks/dirt and what have you, then build ontop of that.

The good.. we lower down some of our landfills, city is now above sea level, lots of jobs for rebuilding.

The bad.. the city is known as a the 'landfill city'.. but then agian, that's not really a new name for it either, in fact I think it would be a bit cleaner even with all the trash 15 feet down. ;)
