Regional Measure 2 Would Give County BART Money, but leaves VTA Bus Service Behind

Tri-Valley Herald Online - Local & Regional News

In March voters will consider a bill to increase bridge tolls to fund transportation initiatives in the Bay Area. The bill covers everything from ferry service and bus service across bridges to BART extensions and road improvements.

Santa Clara County would get $252 million for BART to Warm Springs and for bus and rail service across the Dumbarton Bridge. But local bus service is left out of the plan.

Free Software...

...refers to four kinds of freedom for the users of the software:

The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).

The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).

The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

A program is free software if users have all of these freedoms.

On Michael Dell contending there are too many Linux's:

There's too much choice of beer too. There needs to only be a couple of brands of beer available when I go to the store -- too confusing for the big store chains to sell so many different varieties.

I think they should stick to Fosters -- even here in the US. Easy to remember, easy to stock. It would eliminate a bunch of shelf-space that the store could devote to more important things, like snack-crackers and cheese-spread.

Of course, there's too many varieties of those too...
