      - Fine, then get the 35 kill perfection/inconceivable :) -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 10:59 1

    - how much did the population increase? 1.5% seems like it might be a dialback when you consider population growth. -- nm - amanda Mar 11, 11:07
    - also note the point of the article is not car vs transit. It's present vs future using the past as a lens to that future. - ty97 Mar 11, 10:57 4
      - Right, but aside from untethering a car like a mobile phone, the article seems to be suggesting that we're going to dump private vehicles. - Max Mar 11, 11:03 3
        
        But again, you are thinking of only two options: private vehicle and public transit. - ty97 Mar 11, 11:13 1
        
        except all of those technologies already exist, and none really supplants the automobile. - znufrii Mar 11, 11:15

$1,000 for the Steam box? Crap. - spamlet Mar 11, 10:16 12
- I clearly haven't paid enough attention to this. A Steambox lets you play old videogames? - David Mar 11, 10:38 7
  - It's basically a name for a class of PCs designed around services like Steam but meant to be hooked to the TV and most likely using Steams Big Picture - oblique Mar 11, 10:40

        It's a PC, so I'm assuming you could run emulators. I'm not sure how/if the emulator would run in Big Picture. -- nm - spamlet Mar 11, 10:45

- Makes you think about how good those $200 consoles are. Figure steam boxes need to approach this. -- nm - budice Mar 11, 10:22 1
