Reducing the national speed limit to 55 to conserve gas

[vdeane]

Silverlight has actually been around for a while now - NBC used it for the olympics.  While it is (was?) technically superior to flash, it wasn't superior in a way 99% of people would notice, and Flash was/is pretty entrenched, so naturally it went nowhere.  But this is Microsoft, so even though it went nowhere, it will be supported until the end of time.

Well, maybe not the end of time, but still much longer than it would go on otherwise.

Yeah, when everyone and their dog has it and it's available for three major operating systems, while hardly anyone knows of Silverlight (and it is only available on one OS), it seems pretty irresponsible to go for Silverlight over Flash, unless there is just something in Silverlight that you need that you SIMPLY CANNOT DO in flash. Which I doubt there is.

Reducing the national speed limit to 55 to conserve gas- are you for it or against it?

As others have said.  A big money maker to help states and local governments balance budgets

As much as I currently dislike tolls, I'd rather have them than increased revenue driven speed limit enforcement.

Or GPS-based tax-by-mile.  Noooooooooo thanks, I'll more than happily take the tolls.
