It says in the article that many people are not even aware of it. Why
should they be when they are not advertised anywhere?

"People aren't really aware these systems exist," Browning says.

The problems with the automatic bicycle transmission systems is twofold.
The first is that they are expensive by comparison. And the second is it
isn't that difficult to shift gears on a bike. Even a one armed person
can do it easily.

I'd like to add basic phone service to a rental house.

There seems to be a wide array of VOIP options. Any
experience/recommendations.

Since when is it the landlord's responsibility to provide
internet and phone service for the tenents? They can go out
and get their own service.

On the other hand. If you want to provide the service as a
value added service. We just had a long drawn out discussion here
about Land line alternitives. So I'll add in my $.02 worth.

I have been using a service called Phone Power for almost a year.
I have had very good service. The response of their english
speaking CSRs has been excelent. The price is at least half
that of Vonage (one of the better known services) but Phone
Power has many more features. Also, Phone Power provides for free,
some of the features that Vonage charges extra for.

Setup is easy. Phone Power provides you with a Phone Power Adaptor
(Technicly an ATA). It's a bit bigger than a pack of cigarettes.
You plug it into your network, and a standard phone plugs into
the adaptor. Calls are made and recieved as usual. Your computer
is not used at all for any part of the call process. If you are
careful, you can hook the ATA to your internal phone wireing.

Starbucks...? Hmmm, I think I know why your eyes are/were coffee-
stained, Phil. Try to cut back to ten or fifteen cups a day, and not
Grandes. ;) Oh, lest you misinterpret that - that emoticon is a
wink, not a representation of your one good eye!

The current political philosophy in the US is a social safety net for
the rich, to protect their wealth; but social Darwinism for the working
classes.

Even so, we have a democracy where tens of millions of folks vote every few
years and so things can always be changed. However, I think things have to
hit rock bottom before any change can ever take place.

Poor RS cannot tell the difference between crooks and legitimate businesses.
But RS is quite correct that there is no safety net for the rich. The bigger
they are, the harder they fall.

It is just enough to get by on. No one is getting rich on unemployment
money.

That should be Australopithecus, but that is just the librarian-scholar in
me. You have got him pegged perfectly.

=v= No it isn't. Pretty sleazy to use a tragedy as
a springboard for making up negative motivations to
misattribute to people.

=v= I highly doubt the "sometimes I think" part of this
message. Note that we're nominally talking about a driver
who is now imprisoned, which isn't what I call looking good.

=v= Every location on the North American continent that is
enjoying new bike-friendly policies, infrastructure, and a
burgeoning of ridership is a location where Critical Mass has
thrived for the previous decade or longer. Reality suggests
quite the opposite of your unthinking opinion.
