Driving’s Long Decline in Oregon | Streetsblog.net
Driving’s Long Decline in Oregon | Streetsblog.net: "Call it peak driving, or the end of an era: Americans are driving less.
For 10 years now, Oregon motorists have been driving less. No one is quite sure why. The slump that began before the recession has continued into the period of economic and job growth, and no one seems to know exactly what’s causing it.
It may not surprise you that the state of Oregon was a bit precocious in this arena. Residents of the Beaver State changed their driving behavior before the rest of the nation and don’t seem poised to return to their old ways anytime soon"

The Patent Protection Racket - Joel on Software: "The fastest growing industry in the US right now, even during this time of slow economic growth, is probably the patent troll protection racket industry. Lawsuits surrounding software patents have more than tripled since 1999.
It’s a great business model.
Step one: buy a software patent. There are millions of them, and they’re all quite vague and impossible to understand."
