I'll argue that the time when it was a viable option to build a mass transit system has past. Labor is expensive, tunnelling is dangerous, and people are spread out. And if 50% of people in the DC area telecommuted, that'd be a pretty darn amazing reduction in gallons of gas used per day.

mass transit just can't work for most of the country. We don't live in suburbs and work in city centers anymore for the most part. We have mixed living and working areas, and most people live and work in different suburbs. This improves one part of their quality of life at the expense of another. Unless you're going to mandate people change this by rebuilding everything, I think mass transit is a pipe dream in this country. The real solution to the problem is increased telecommuting. The more people that are able to telework, the lower the impact on the environment. I'm able to work from home 80% of the time, which means that even tho I only get 18mpg in my nearly 30 yr old car, I still use less gas in a year than the average prius driver .

talked in meetings about my supercomputer and it's chances of being accepted before the end of the quarter so that all the people that are watching me work on it will get paid.

I drove around town (memphis, philadelphia, new york) and long distances (across country, repeatedly). My passat tdi got between 43 and 47 mpg no matter what.

hybrids aren't good for anything really except telling the world you're doing something for the environment. Except that they're less durable, have more toxic waste upon disposal (all those batteries), and cost a hell of a lot more. You're doing more for the environment using an older car longer than you are buying a hybrid. Even if you use more gas in the process.

heh, and it's gone

my diesel got 45mpg in town or long distance. How is it specialized?

the ipod dock I have is on woot right now (woot off) for $30 + $5 shipping

Yup, I use white 14ga lamp cord

you seem like a spambot. Post that message again and you're banned.

anyone that looks at dusty thinks he's looking at porn no matter what he does. If anyone looks like a perv, it's dusty.

lop off hte top 2" of skull

I'd be shocked if you couldn't get canare cheaper than anti-cables. Have you checked markertek?

if you want to use it "while toting" it won't be too helpful

You can also just use vnc or remote desktop

I use a sonic impact ipod video-55 dock and a dvi->video out adapter cable Yes - Signal it should read windows drives just fine

My parents and I get along a lot better from a distance

I'm just jealous I couldn't handle being at home, I needed my independence.

is that what's going on? That they're using an xlr for the cable connection? So it's only 3 wires? That's pretty shitty
