An aquaduct?

I pay taxes on my profit on Apple shares/dividends, does that blow your mind?

I actually get a heap of stuff in return for paying taxes too, roads, education, emergency services, water, electricity supply, security, aquaducts. i.e. a decent civilization. Apple supposedly wants to be home based in that decent civilization and yet doesn't want to contribute to its upkeep like the rest of us.

In Houston, we let cheetahs play down to the horse track on off days....You think you get to see that at Saratoga or the Aquaduct NYC?? ...

Wonder what would happen if they let cheetahs out at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, CA?? The cats might just think they'd been taken back to the Plateau continent!

France still has aquaducts. I didn't know that.

I see what you're saying: That 90% of tech submissions would be of the geeky nature...

I hear what you're saying, but I still think the cross-over would be too great. 90% of the tech posts would also be geek posts. That means we're taking up 2 channels where 1 would have done. With growing channel proliferation, we want to conserve those 7 allotted channel spots to be as distinct as possible.

Choggie, you must live in Maine, because it's exactly how you described it.
Than you all for the wonderful comments, and Dag, about the channel thing:
I argue that the crossover is MUCH less than people have made it to be.

For example, I cite these videos:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Solar-Air-Conditioning
http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Antikythera-mechanism
http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Aquaduct-pedal-powered-water-filtering-vehicle
http://www.videosift.com/video/Computerized-model-of-how-a-Gatling-gun-works
http://www.videosift.com/video/Get-tasered-from-100-feet-away

Things like that get slapped with "geek" even though it really is more of a plain "tech" thing.


I think Rembar (where the hell IS that guy?) summed it up nicely in this channel.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
