there are certain physical constraints you have to consider when designing motors for the environment they are in, power is just one of those variables. then there is the power storage issue. after that there is the point that even if we were all to switch over to electric cars tomorrow the amount of pollution produced would remain the same, it would just shift the production of pollution from the cars to the power plants. it should be easier to clean the centralized pollution centers, however that still does not get us off of oil as our main fuel.
so your saying that not winning any cases, or not taking any cases, in a certain period of time should be grounds for disbarment? does that mean all those law professors who don't practice any more should be disbarred? or maybe a lawyer who has been sick for a while? or what about a lawyer who works as legal aid and has a string of clients who are just plain guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt? i think that maybe one should think about the consequences of what is proposed before you propose it. at least then you can shake out all of the obvious problems before you let the rest of us pick through it.
I play fetch with my cats all the time, I am debating as to if i want to train them to flush the toilet when they go the bath room, the whole hearing the toilet go off at 4am doesn't sound too appealing to me
Well if you happen to live on the 1st floor defenestrating your wife isn't such a bad thing, kinda funny, she would be mad at you, madder still if you had like a bush outside your window. now if you live on the 3rd+ floor.. well I then wonder if you filmed the defenestrated your tv, cause its always fun to watch that.
no i didn't have to look up the definition of that one. its my favorite medieval political maneuver!
Agreed, you should not be able to patent a design schema of a software system, you should have to build a working prototype. Patents should cover only producible/produced products. Not the imaginary ravings of some guy in his basement who thought "Wouldn't it be cool to have a wireless email system?" and run out and patent nothing more than a description of a system.
So long as Congress does not look at Patents and think "Hey! These are pretty much like Copyrights! Wait a second the lengths of these two very similarly purposed laws are quite different, by a significant factor. Lets just make them match up to which ever is longer. Fellow Congressmen and women I present to you the Sunny Bono Patent Reform Act of 2008!"
Yes the thought of Congress re-evaluating Patents with the situation as it is, is a very scary thought to me. Imagine if Patents were extended to life time of inventor + 70 years.
It is more than enough to keep you awake at night.
Nope I have nothing to hide, not my Bank Account information when I check my balance online, nor my SSN when I file my taxes online (sorry I don't know the British equivalent, NIH number?) Nope nothing to hide at all.
I hope its SI, its a lot easier talking about kiloshitloads and centeshitloads as opposed to trying to covert imperial shitloads to shittons and shitgallons.
I wish I had mod points for you, very few times have I been sent scurrying to a dictionary just to figure out what it was that I was reading. I must not have such an expansive lexicon as I once thought.
if none of the search engines have done anything to "combat" this then how can it be particularly google and yahoo? if all of them have done the same how can any of them done better/worse/more/less than the others?

While your response is quasi-sarcastic there may very well be people who would vote for him, I personally would. atleast he only murders those who have done real wrong and not those who just smoked a doobie.
The local cultures vary greatly from state to state even to this day, granted there are a lot of similarities however the general out look on life and how to live is quite different here in New York than it is in say Louisiana or Texas. For example in Texas its not considered taboo to grab your gun when you leave your house, or to execute every violent felon (a hyperbole but please bear with me) in New York Most people wouldn't think to leave their house with a gun unless they were hunting or were going to use it, and executions are non existent.
Why, may I ask, must it (the projectile) be a guided one? If it is only for the range then I can assure you that it does not have to be a guided projectile. This of it as advanced artillery if you must. Just because it has a range greater than ~30 miles does not mean that it "has" to be a a guided projectile. All you really need is some good ol' Newton's equations of motion and a launcher powerful enough to rocket the projectile at the necessary velocity (mach 8) and you sure as hell can hit most any spot on planet earth you with with out the projectile being guided other than pointed along the correct vector.
I'm not sure how revoking ones ability to purchase alcohol would 1) punish them and 2) deter the crime of DUI. I can not tell you the number of times i have gone to a house party and had a drink pushed into my hand, one i never purchased, or gone to a bar and had a friend pick up drinks because it was too crowded to get more than one person to the bar.
you seem to be forgetting that one does not have to have the bottle to drink it, kids can pour the alcohol into some other container, which mean running around school with vodka in a sprite bottle (yeah i lived a misspent youth) an alcoholic and those prone to drive while drunk honestly have no need to purchase the alcohol themselves. i'm usually not given to hyperbole but reasoning like this seems as effective as all the reasoning for the war on drugs or why we got the sony rootkit for drm.
people will do whatever they can to do what they want to do. and no matter how much you try to use technology to stop it so long as there people involved the system will be circumvented and broken.

I suppose MIDI synthesizers don't product audio signal either.
Emphasis mine.

Assuming Alanis was always going for a deeper meaning you just may have figured it all out.
Can we quote you on that? ^_^
AFAIK they do, they synthesize an audio signal. A guitar hero controller outputs only a "BUTTON 1 PRESSED" signal, nothing audio to that at all.
so your saying that not winning any cases, or not taking any cases, in a certain period of time should be grounds for disbarment? does that mean all those law professors who don't practice any more should be disbarred? or maybe a lawyer who has been sick for a while? or what about a lawyer who works as legal aid and has a string of clients who are just plain guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt? i think that maybe one should think about the consequences of what is proposed before you propose it. at least then you can shake out all of the obvious problems before you let the rest of us pick through it.

you mean like how infinity + infinity = infinity? so then a shitload would be the finite version of infinity? I think I just gave myself a headache ...

well I used a dictionary. It just so happened to be google. But a dictionary none the less.
