    /* remember to highlight inserts somehow! */
    ins {
      text-decoration: none;
    }
    del {
      text-decoration: line-through;
    }
    
    /* tables still need 'cellspacing="0"' in the markup */
    table {
      border-collapse: collapse;
      border-spacing: 0;
    }

Mark Cuban funded the title with a $250,000 donation in 2012.

"The current state of patents and patent litigation in this country is shameful," said Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks. "Silly patent lawsuits force prices to go up while competition and innovation suffer. That's bad for consumers and bad for business. It's time to fix our broken system, and EFF can help. So that's why part of my donation funds a new title for EFF Staff Attorney Julie Samuels: 'The Mark Cuban Chair to Eliminate Stupid Patents'."

The word "hack" can mean to assemble (e.g., hacking some code), but also to destroy (as in, hacking with an axe).

This is very cool. I wish more municipal transit authorities opened up their data as it seems to encourage, at the least, a hobbyist ecosystem for solutions.
