This is why we have the right to bear arms.
"Come to Bob's Car Mart, where-"
BLAM!
Of course we'll also get, "You've won 1,000,000 dollars in the Pepsi Sweepstakes! Just send a security check for $500 to: Mpondo Dwhaliki..."
1. Batteries will have a minimum they'd deplete themselves to.
2. Hybrid cars will be able to run and produce energy, adding to the grid and recharging their batteries if needed. Future hybrids will use gasoline or diesel solely for electricity generation to run drive motors and, eventually, grid power.
3. Your post should be labeled "Slippery Slope" as that is exactly the kind of argument it is. "If we let them take a little power, they'll take it all!"
AC Propulsion, who built the car, has been working on this technology for quite a long time. Their press release is at http://www.acpropulsion.com/releases/10-24-2007.htm. They also have a solar powered, unmanned aircraft, an electric sports car that long precedes the T-Zero, and good taste in car bodies since they've used the Sportech and xB for their major projects.
I want to state that I am for the illegal sharing of files. I am absolutely for it. I just want to make sure that the numbers presented in the media make the copyright assholes look bad. I have a feeling they are manipulated completely to support the corporate case.
The poor are the ones in the sex industry, not the wealthy and middle class who are the relative few with net access. This is an effort to protect those middle and upper class kids. As the Roman Senate said in History of the World, Part I, "**** the poor!"
Actually, that was how it was said in the censored for TV version. It really confused my friend until he saw the original, several years later.
They weren't invited. Candidates who haven't a snowball's chance in hell of winning are usually barred from major debates seeing as their inclusion would be a waste of time. The Peace and Freedom, Communist, and leading Nazi candidates wouldn't have been allowed in either. This is totally different from arresting them for just being opposition candidates.
If you had clearences without even a fingerprinting to prove who you are and that you're not a criminal, then that's not particularly good security. I'm sure passports are harder to fake than drivers licenses, but I doubt it would stop anyone at all serious about espionage. A simple fingerprinting would go a long way in that case.
I've never been in jail (except for a tour) yet have had my fingerprints taken 5 times. First was at 16 when I got a job with a city. Second through fifth were for volunteering in a school, student teaching, and two teaching jobs. Being a huge supporter of privacy, I don't give a hoot. As another poster said, they can lift your prints from something you just touched. Let the Japanese government have its mostly useless and highly masturbatorial wad of security theater.
They video tape you from a vast number of security cameras, which I find to be far more invasive. Your credit card number comes up wherever you use the ATM or purchase something. Hotels must see your passport to let you stay.
I prefer to communicate with friends via a system that has absolutely no assumption or chance of privacy, and where I can see ads that are actually supposed to be there. Thank you, MySpace, Facebook, and others, for convincing kids that all the stupid crap they say should be owned and data-mined by corporations. In the meantime, I think I'll go login to my Gmail account so I can write to Daddy. I know I can trust good old Google. They put funny logos up for holidays!
I suggest that police set off a small nuclear warhead high above the city. The resulting electro magnetic pulse will not add an ungainly 200 lbs to any car, will pass through most hardening without a blip, and easily stop the suspects vehicle. Of course, it may stop their heart as well, with or without a pacemaker.
If the oxygen sensors or any other sensors die, permanently or momentarily, the ECU will just throw an error code and switch into open-loop operation, operating of AF and spark maps instead of sensor data.
There are no steer-by-wire cars in production today. To my knowledge, there have never been any. You're mistaking it with electric power steering (versus hydraulic power steering). At anything above ten mph, you really don't need the boost anyway and rarely get it.
Most cops drive Crown Victorias, which are poor performers when stock. Light racks up top already make it top heavy and there are already hundreds of pounds of other equipment, donuts, and modifications in there. 200 pounds won't make a big difference.
Why would an honest person: use encryption? have anything to hide? care about privacy? mind waiting in line for two hours to pass through security theater? mind having their civil rights violated? mind missing a flight to get the therapy they badly need and mind dying while handcuffed by the TSA? YEAH, I MIND!
Copyright and patent madness are two sides of the same coin, corporate interests that have hijacked the law for their own enrichment at the expense of everyone else. It's just biting them in the ass this time around.
I've used Macs since OS 6.07, sold them, fixed them, made a living off them, and loved them. We own several. My primary computer is now a Dell E1705 running Vista, and frankly, it works fine. Yes, the need for virus protection is a pain, but there is nothing inherent to the Mac OS making it immune to the same problems other than lack of market share.
It's idiocy like this that makes me no longer respect copyrights. Yes, I want artists to get paid, but I'm no longer willing to go through a leeching middleman.

Perhaps a lawyer can tell us which has worse penalties, destruction of evidence or being found guilty of helping piracy. I imagine it's the latter.

I think this deserves an insightful mod. :)
In a power outage, it'll seem dirt cheap.

I'm electrified by this story.
So when Democratic candidates don't want no-chance annoyances like Kucinich in on debates, they're stopping the rise of other parties?

Vista is fine.
