Commented on Inebriated woman falls in front of oncoming train
Park Street Station was basically a big flat area with tracks, and very little to mark the difference between boarding areas and rails. The Green Line is just an underground streetcar at Park Street. Therefore no third rail. The business...
Commented on Hallowe'en is safe, your kids are safe, the only scary thing is the warnings
I remember one year there was a local hospital that would X-RAY!!! your bag of candy for free just to check for razor blades and staples. Friggin' ridiculous....
Commented on Celebrating obsolete library card-catalogs
The Harvard University Library, the fifth biggest library system in the world, still has card catalogs at their main branch. I was in there a weeks ago with my wife and was stunned....
Commented on Airlines that charge fees lost more money than airlines that didn't
@ Cory Indeed. The first thing I thought of was fees being the result of a company that didn't plan for something like this to being with and in an effort to stay competitive on pricing, opted to institute fees...
Commented on PSPGo reviews nail Sony on pricing
This device is good for nothing other than lining the pocket of Sony with lots and lots of money. How? 1. No more media. So no more manufacturing, no more shipping, distro, and warehousing. But they keep the games the...
Commented on Magritte painting swiped in daylight heist
Art heists have got to be some of the most interesting crimes. Mostly because there seems to be so much thought and research that goes into deciding what to steal. Then there's the seedy underworld of stolen art. The biggest...
Commented on Would you be happy with metered internet in return for enforced net neutrality?
I say yes, but here's the problem. A metered internet would mean a serious shakeup to the business models of virtually any internet company. First, I don't want to be metered for ads, the chief form of revenue for most...

Commented on Review: Two weeks with the simplehuman dual bin rectangular step can
Simplehuman stuff is expensive, but in they are well built, cleverly designed, and look fabulous. I'm kinda longing for this one.......
Commented on Lawyers for TV überdouche Glenn Beck go after satirical website, saying the url itself is defamatory
This is the same crap he and his ilk in 24-hour news (especially Fox) pull when they say things like, "rumors are swirling about Obama's ties to former terrorist William Ayers." It's all in that gray "hear-say" area that can...
Commented on Rachel Maddow interviews Tom Ridge on politicizing terror threat alerts
Any thought that the Terror Alert System was supposed to be anything BUT political is laughable. It's designed as an utterly meaningless fear-mongering tool....

Commented on What a Wonderful World as a zombie soundtrack
Slow-motion footage? Go with "What A Wonderful World". For sped-up video, try "Yakkity Sax." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjPkf_YVLjY...

Commented on Massive archive of US Army medical illustrations and photos free online
The Museum of Heath and Medicine is easily one of the best museums in DC. The trouble is it's at Walter Reed and kind of a pain to get to. But they've got an amazing collection of medical tools, specimens,...
Commented on Bill O'Reilly on Sarah Palin email hack
I think we're overlooking the fact that a FOX correspondent not only knew what she was talking about, but didn't cave in to Bill-O saying that he was right....
Commented on This is GE Performance Television
I miss the days when wood grain, not sleek white or black was the true calling card of "high tech." And you knew it was well built because it weighed a friggin ton and looked like furniture....
Commented on Canon's 5200mm Mirror Lens
What are the practical applications for something like this?? 18-32 miles? Wouldn't the curvature of the earth become a factor if you were shooting from ground level?...
Commented on Martin Luther King, Jr. playlist
I must say, MLK Jr. Day is the only national holiday that I "celebrate". By that I mean actually doing something pertaining to why we have the day off. I don't go to VFW halls, fly flags, or plants trees,...

Anonymous' friend is lucky to be alive. If she worries about looking like a fool, her good fortune obviously hasn't sunk in yet....
xaxa commented on Inebriated woman falls in front of oncoming train
Are there benches on the platforms? When I'm that drunk in London I usually stagger to a bench and sit down. (Actually, I've usually missed the last train.) I expect the driver had trouble seeing her because of the difference in light levels -- she was driving in a dark tunnel towards a brightly lit station. Someone waving would be move obvious as they were blocking the light....
Nadreck commented on Inebriated woman falls in front of oncoming train
coldspell - #28: Subway platforms in Japan and Taiwan often do have enclosed platforms. Besides the safety issues it also lets you air-condition the platforms. I'm wondering if the Boston system has emergency boxes to kill the power on the third rail as the Toronto system does at the end of the platforms. (They had to change all of the instructions on these at one point after someone was fried when someone didn't push all of the required buttons inside one during an incident.) As to all of you people diss'ing the drunken Boston Beans - I think you all...
thanbo commented on Inebriated woman falls in front of oncoming train
#37: Scollay Square is the old name for today's Government Center station. #57: Alewife is a fish. Why there's an inland bus station named for a fish is another question... Coldspell@28: open platforms. Well, you may have more than one model of car/train running on a given line. I suppose it's less likely in Boston, where each line is pretty isolated from the others, but in NYC, for instance, you have 2-3 routes running on the same track, using different equipment, with doors placed differently. So a fence is less than practical. The same route may be using both old...
The Chemist commented on Inebriated woman falls in front of oncoming train
I gotta say I get the warm fuzzies from stories like this: That start out horribly and end with people not getting hurt or suffering relatively minor injuries. It reminds me of Mo Rocca on Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me! expressing his disappointment that Balloon Boy wasn't actually in the balloon: It wasn't that he wanted him to be hurt, but he was hoping he would be in the balloon and safe because let's face it, that's an awesome story....
