   Wait a second…if their Photoshop cut ‘n’ paste couldn’t rival Swiss James, then how the Hell can their hackers rival the CIA?

   This is going to be too arcane for most readers, but the KORAIL light rail project is interesting. Yes, lightweight, automated trains are a distinctive technology, first developed in Canada in the 1980s. The Korean project is interesting because the vehicles are rubber-tired, kind of a cross between the Montreal and early Paris Metros (conventional heavy rail) and bus guideways, another emerging technology.

   Okay, end of comment that has nothing to do with politics, English teachers, or IR relationships….

   …Actually, what was developed in Canada was lightweight, fully automated, driverless trains, controlled from a central computer system. I believe the Tyne and Ware Metro in Newcastle, UK, features some kind of automated control as well and was opened in 1980, and many railway systems use some kind of automated train control (ATC)….

   Okay, I will say no more on this highly irrelevant topic! The first two headlines merit more attention, but this story distracted me….
