[08:33] <MarkDude> rww, what about a pic of you as C-3PO?Maybe a Jawa?
[08:37] <rww> no thanks ;P

[15:08] <nUboon2Age> correction rww and jtatum: the proprietary technology BART (the M$ of the Bay Area public transit) needs to be replaced by a sustainable, affordable more FLOSS-like rail system (see Caltrain for an example).  It is neither, but because it is so extravagantly and prohibitively priced it sucks down by far most of the $ available for public transit and leaves little for maintenance let alone expansion of FLOSS-like
[15:08] <nUboon2Age> alternatives.
[15:10] <nUboon2Age> plus Amtrack is already serving SJ to Sac.  It just needs to run more frequently.
