All new ones sold in the US & Canadian markets within roughly the last decade, and some sold in other markets.
But I wonder if the energy saved by DRLs (less need for new cars to replace smashed ones, less fuel used in emergency vehicles) offsets the energy used to run them? A lot of newer cars use LEDs for this so the energy usage is reduced.
We beat good ol' toxic materials pollution and CFCs (well...except China, but overall I'd call it a win) and faced all the same problems with those, maybe there's some hope.
We're way past that, we're in the middle of the transition from "it's happening and humans are causing it but it's not bad" to "it's happening, humans are causing it, and it's bad, but it's cheaper to adapt."
Then just one more stage to go, "It's happening, humans are causing it, and it's not cheaper to adapt...but we're not going to cooperate."
No no no, that's only true when the little people fail to take advantage of something. If you inconvenience our monied overlords in any way, you're either an economy-killing, wealth-redistributing commie or a jackboot-licking statist parasite, depending on which flavor of fiscal conservatism you're up against.
No idiot, he's right, you're wrong. Cars typically don't take impact on the roof, and there are only a few inches of room to crush before your spine starts to get crushed. Race cars use solid-as-fuck roll cages to keep the roof from absorbing any energy, it seems to work well.
In fact most purpose-built race cars have a space frame that is EXTREMELY rigid with carbon fiber/aluminum honeycomb "crash boxes" stuck to the front and rear bumpers that act as crumple zones.
Actually I would expect the Tesla would do better in those "partial overlap" crash tests as well, with no engine block it will be possible to add more cross-bracing to the engine bay which will make the front of the car massively stiffer. I doubt they made the sides of the engine bay any weaker, cars don't have any real excessive structure there (apart from metal wheel wells perhaps). There's been a lot of stink kicked up recently about the "low overlap" crash tests as well so I doubt Tesla would have stepped into the line of fire there.
Because US regulations don't require them while other markets do. The Europeans and Japanese just don't bother to make market-specific taillights, they just follow the Euro regs which also meet US regs.
It may be boring junk in terms of not telling us things we don't already strongly suspect, but getting real confirmation is a big deal, hard evidence is important.
True it would be trivial for any decent hacker to log the IPs of who's downloading this torrent without any special equipment, for the NSA it's child's play.
I had an idea to address this, what if there were a website where people who would like to vote third-party but don't because they're worried about the "half a vote for the bad guys" effect could register that they would prefer to vote (third party) but are instead going to vote (mainstream party) and then the poll results would be displayed on the site.
If the stats came out to show that a vast majority would rather vote third-party...what would all those people do?
This post sums it up and highlights all the important points. This was really awful and #3 is the worst part...it won't help him at all. It was for nothing.
Ocean temperature sinking is not a suggestion or a projection. It's an observed phenomenon and by far the largest factor mitigating surface warming. It's not a guess either. But continue to stick your head in the sand, as long as things are nice there it doesn't matter what's happening on the other side of the surface, right?
I'm glad you appear to have made a cursory reading of the entire summary page at least. It's a start.
What if the Breaking Bad global release was wildly profitable? Is it still a failure because it was widely pirated? If it's profitable then who cares how much it was pirated, chances are the vast majority of those people wouldn't have paid to see it anyway. Piracy certainly doesn't eat into the amount of money you've received.
BTW, this was probably pirated by people without cable subscriptions or people who wanted it in a convenient time-shifting/multi-device format.
Read the Guerilla Open Access Manifesto. This is what got the feds' attention on Swartz. Now what in there could possibly have anything to do with state security?
Why were the feds interested in someone because they said these things? I can only come up with three possibilities, and none of them are good:
1. They are policing IP issues 2. They are acting as rent-a-cops to protect the profits of certain corporations, on taxpayer money (this is subtly different than #1) 3. They simply see anyone not happy with the increasing secrecy and private ownership of the world as a potential security threat who should be crushed with the full weight of the legal system at the first opportunity, to cripple any of their future endeavors.

Why not link to Michael Chrichton's State of Fear and maybe some conspiracy websites and denialist blogs too?

Hey so you're subscribed to The Register's RSS feeds too!

*Fox News bogeymen
You confuse environmentalists with the VHE movement, or possibly Fox New bogeymen. The first two are real but all are separate things.

...or "frunk" if you will :-P

I really enjoy learning about the latest in radical left-ish politics from you. You could do well at Fox News to find new bogeymen for them.
Snowden knows what he's doing:

I do hope he has a duress system as well as a "defuse" system that can be activated by trusted friends.

Really need to get a pair of 4TBs for my home server...I have just enough space free, but not on any one disk.
You do realize that Snowden was the one who broke his own anonymity, right?

Hey now, there are numerous subtle differences.
But those boogeymen are so good at dancing. They're just here to do whatever they can. Bogeymen, on the other hand...
