However, people who live in land scarce city states generally don't get access to their own garages. One major hurdle to overcome would be placing the charging outlets at shared car parks - EV taxes to pay for the construction and maintenance of common charging outlets, charge cost metering, and replacement of vandalized outlets are some of the problems that add up to the cost of ownership of such vehicles.
The cost of a Toyota Prius in Singapore is already almost SGD$100 000 (approx. USD$69 000, or 3 times the US list price). I can't see the Leaf being adopted on a large scale by the pragmatic citizens in Singapore unless its overall cost of ownership is equal to or lower than conventional vehicles.

On a more serious note, why is it "as many as" 101,000 solutions? It doesn't make much sense to refer to the number of solutions as "many" or "few" when we're talking about numbers on an astronomical scale. c.f. Carl Sagan, Billions and Billions.
Sometimes Google treats me with more respect though.

A fine dark band in the center of the H band in the myofibrils of striated muscle fibers. Also called M band.
A histological structure in myofibrils in skeletal muscle. The line runs transversely to the length of the myofibrils and corresponds to the segment occupied by myosin myofilaments.
He's managed to do it without crashing and killing the entire busload of passengers so far, so pr0ps to his mad skillzZzzz, though I do hope he realizes that there's no respawning when (and not if) he does. (Would you offer him a cheaper rate for car insurance?)

Don't you think that most people would prefer to play games that are more life-like, where you are actually doing something with your body like Guitar Hero or the plethora of games available for the wii?
Yes, but this device doesn't have to and should not be mutually exclusive from other interfaces like the Wii.
Wanna-be Jedis can finally fulfill their fantasies of actually wielding light sabres and force throwing their opponents with their mind. RPG magic players will be able to cast spells with a thought. How's that for "more life-like"?
At least if it was a cluster map I could look at an area and think, "I sure as heck ain't traveling there for work this week.
On a global scale, check out the RSOE EDIS (Emergency and Disaster Information Service).
It aggregates all sorts of disasters, from short-time events such as automobile accidents, and current tropical storms, to longer term ones, such as epidemics and forest fires.
"Cast lead bullets"? Thousands, if not millions, of ammunition reloaders would disagree.
"Changing vacuum tubes"? Millions of musicians would disagree.
"Darkroom photography skills"? "Developing photographic film"? Obviously, this person is not a photographer! ...is another man's absolut.
But an 8 year old that types "pussy" into google? That's different. Wow, never tried that search. First forty-five links are to porn sites, and then you get a link for the "Pussy Cats" CD by Harry Nilsson. You're still not out of the woods (or bushes as it were) as there are then another ten porn links until you get Pussy, France.
My hypothetical 8 year old kid will not find out what a
Pussy is through Google. And I certainly hope that my hypothetical kid will not take Google's "Try different keywords" suggestion and do follow-upsearches.
immoral of the story: If you are an 8 year old searching for some inkling of pr0n, forget about figurative speech and go straight for the scientific terms.

I couldn't find any pictures of the Voyager computer banks, but I foundthesepictures of old computer banks from the Viking era, which is about a year or two before the Voyager program. The Voyager computer banks would probably look something like this.
The "true peak time" isn't listed exactly on the articles because it is very difficult to predict exactly when you'll get a dramatic increase of meteors. I remember a couple of years ago when they predicted a Leonids meteor storm to occur near midnight of +8GMT, and it didn't happen; apparently the pile of space dirt got blown off course by the solar wind and the Leonids peak actually happened in the daytime where I lived.
For global viewers, just pick a time when the constellation Lyra is up in the sky, and for easiest viewing, when the moon hasn't risen. Try Stellarium http://www.stellarium.org/ to find your best time. If you are able to view it after midnight, all the better as that's when the most meteors will be directly slamming into the atmosphere overhead.

Singapore has had free wireless coverage in major areas since 2006. I'm glad to see more cities following suit.

There.. corrected that for you. =)

Yes... As referenced here.

No.. wait..

Argh someone new please RTFA and quickly post what THAT item is! The suspense is killing me!
Thanks for the handy link.

Okay mods, don't let this bug you too much, but somebody has to stick out his nectar entertain the crowds.
