[22:10:16] <exec> 08└─Your story reminded me of one I'd heard. Back in the day (late 70's or early 80's), IBM's big mainframes ($millions) ran in BC (Basic Control) mode. For a $VERY_LARGE fee, a technician could visit your site and upgrade your machine to EC (Extended Control) mode. IIRC, this unlocked extra memory addr...

[22:11:13] <exec> 08└─Your argument here exposes your own anti-car biases. Rail and subway are even more subsidized than roads are, so the real cost is higher than the monthly pass rates quoted. And most suburban people who takes trains into the city still have cars at home anyway. They're paying twice over.
