“The biggest thing holding us back in the U.S. is land use patterns,” says Brian Ferris, a Google Transit engineer based in Zurich, Switzerland. “European cities are more compact, so public transportation dollars go a lot farther. In the U.S., huge parts of our cities were built after the automobile came to prominence. But we can’t change American cities tomorrow.

California doesn't want to change in order to be like Switzerland. What makes him think that we would? We don't see Southern California as a problem that needs to be fixed. We see it as an improvement over compacted cities.

You must not be driving the freeways here.

Well, first use git or mercurial. Then set up an in person meeting of the team at least once at the beginning of the project. A lecturer at UCLA told me that projects are 70% more likely to succeed if people meet face to face once. I don't have a link to the original research that claims this, though.

So they've got a technology to scan inside RAR files with obfuscated names now? If they start putting password lock so you have to have the password to even see the archive content what then? These courts really don't bother consulting actual Internet people, just some lawyer doing intern clerk duty on the way to their own judicial posting who happened to use the Internet a few times to try to score on craigslist. Oh well, good luck enforcing it.

"At least we can count on Hollywood to find some actress that will match Faye's rockin' tits."

Unfortunately, Savannah committed suicide YEARS ago and took those with her.

I'm worried that someone will do some superficial research, come across the more deranged otaku, and think that Ed's character will attract perverts and hence need a redo. Ten years older, male, and with green hair instead, and then offer the part to Billy Mumy. I'd actually pay money to see his reaction to that.

Ein... man, you're asking for the people who thought Garfield was perfectly believable to come into play and CGI it all up and on top of it give him a human voice.

As far as Keanu goes, if ever anyone decides to do Clay Aiken Stands In For K.D. Lang, that would be right up Keanu's alley.
