We're talking NYC area in the 1970s through 90s. then it cost like $200 dollars to get rid of a car for salvage. You could pay a tow truck or possibly drive your self out side of area but it will cost you about that much in tolls, gas, hassle. thus cars were regularly abandoned and reported as stolen. Its really interesting that you feel so strongly that everyone in the world has to conform to your logical model.

Crossed it too many times to count, I live in the area. I even regularly ride my bike in the area, across the GWB and up to Van Cortlandt park. Those cars weren't breakdowns. They were purposely abandoned there because the owners wanted to claim the car was stolen to collect the insurance money and because it cost a couple hundred dollars to get rid of a car at a salvage yard.

>>Nothing Robert Moses thought of was a good idea.
That's not true. His early work on NYC parks was fantastic. Jones Beach is an iconic beach and recreational area.

Please post an article with a counter view that defends the plan. I think the plan was ridiculous. NYC is a city for people, not for cars. Moses's previous project, the cross Bronx expressway is just as ridiculous. Why divert one of the most important national highways, route 80 and 95 through the heart of densely urban area like the Bronx? the problem is the alternate route would have gone through the Hudson valley and there are too many wealthy connected people who live there that would have shutdown the project. So it ends up in a lower middleclass immigrant area like the Bronx. The problem is its ridiculous for both the people who are just trying to pass through and get caught in local traffic and it destroyed many establish local neighborhoods. The disaster that cross Bronx represents was a big reason Jacobs could mobilize sentiment against Moses lower manhattan plan which would have done the same thing.

I suspect they have their lawyers working first to figure out how to get in without stepping on someone else patents and how they could construct their own so they can protect their market.

Effectively everything after 1921 has some kind of copyright complication with it complicating access and long term archiving. Since corporations can own stuff that ownership can go on forever. Even the Happy Birthday song is owned and nobody puts it in film or video as a result. I'm happy that google is winning the court cases its fighting to get copyrighted material on line, but its sad that it takes one corporation to take on other corporations to win.

they could lease the technology to somebody and make some money.

can you swype without looking at the keyboard and see where your finger is? I can thumb type without looking at the keyboard. 100% of my focus is on the content I'm typing, not what my fingers are doing. your motor skill problem could make you an exception. If you can point out a youtube video showing a good usecase for swype I would appreciate it.

I wish blackberry would create a decent keyboard tightly integrated with a protective case to add to my android or iPhone. I miss physical phone keyboards very much.

Is there a bios version i need to look for to be able to boot this?

>>4-lane PCIe 3.0 interface,
how old of MB would support this?

I have DSL that used to be cheap but they made me get a phone line and it almost doubled in price. (i don't need or use the phone line). I called comcast and they said i can get internet only for 44$ per month. I don't need tv because i get all i need from an OTA and the internet. Is that price for real or is there hidden prices that despite my asking about will still get tacked on my bill. I'm in central NJ, only choices are Verizon DSL(what i now have) and Comcast.

There was an article in Scientific American or something a few years about the upcoming resolution for video. They basically said 8K is being build out for all broadcasting. That way public places like airports, sports arenas, malls (if they still exit), billboards can display video feeds on 20ft screens or more and picture quality will look great. People at home who want the best video, especially those with home theater or other ways to have 8-10ft screen will also watch the same 8k feeds. secondary or smaller screens in the home will probably stay at 4K. Cinema on the other hand will probably go with a 16K or even 32K (Imax) video system. I'll try to find the article and post later.

MS must have some kind of assurance the H1B pipeline will be at full capacity for the foreseeable future.

He loses a lot of credibility with this statement. What I guess he means is the land is not occupied by people. But if you take a look the land is heavily used for grazing, timber, mining. I've flown over and driven over the US quite a few times and it really depresses me. The Mississippi is turned into a big drainage ditch. From the ground I see cattle grazing everywhere and they have huge effects on the original ecosystem. The ranchers that have been protesting out west about grazing on government land have gotten in trouble for burning native shrub so it can be replaced with grasses better for cattle. Even historically there has been much fighting over land in the west, they were called the range wars. Montana was the most famous, but there has been lots of other wars over water, fences and sheep vs cattle.
