I have no problems with the new PeachPass lanes _that were constructed for the purpose_. Stealing existing lanes of I-75 that taxpayers paid for "because congestion" and turning them into PeachPass lanes so that the well-off can p

I'm sorry but I can't afford to own two+ vehicles, one for urban, one for long range. For the purposes of the article, 'long range' equals one tank of gas (~250 miles in my 90s SUV) for an ICE. I am behind the concept of

Mostly off-topic, but since the comments have < 10 posts, I will do my part to engage discussion until the superior comments arrive. I want to have the Year of the Linux desktop on my primary machine. I haven't yet. I will admit to

I've never used Whatsapp. Been aware of it since its days as a dedicated button on Blackberry phones and webOS apps. I say that only to say that I'm not going to join it (Facebook owns it, c'mon mate) and those who allow me t

Curious if anyone in the ATT orbit cares to weigh in on what the employees think about this. Example: ATT got iPhone exclusivity, an iPhone launch was treated like a sort of 'dangerous Christmas' that was high risk if things went

It's not a perfect acronym. I didn't come up with it either, but for some reason the games have had the following shortened forms: Super Smash Bros. -> SSB or SB64 Super Smash Bros. Melee -> SSBM OR SMMSH Super Smash Bros. B

I'm probably overly paranoid, but these days Google has lost so much goodwill over the past few years that my gut reaction to this is closer to what I'd imagine an old coot yelling at kids to get off his lawn to say : I don't

Bridge builders are not expected to make the bridge itself defend against saboteurs, unlike software. To painfully extend the scenario: the wind is relatively well understood and once you've learned a lesson and guarded against it as a
