If things keep going this direction, next election the candidates will be handing out their own special branded smartphones that only run their app when it boots up.
I came in here for the Amercia jokes and you are the first to bring it up by basically pointing out that it happened. I am mighty disappointed, Slashdotters.
I didn't say that. Space did go down for a while in the early 2000s, when cars had to meet higher safety standards thanks to the safety arms race started by SUVs.
Nice work dissing all those other hard-working blue-collar folks who don't haul their tools around (because they're in a factory etc). But SUVs make total sense for everyone because of your fringe case. I bet you drive OVER 9000 miles a day too so electric cars are universally stupid right?
You're not going to find any average consumer vehicle that seats nine (at least with seatbelts, the Defender's 140's rear bench seats might do it without). Some minivans and SUVs seat 7, only a handful of SUVs seat 8, and to go over 8 you'll have to get a large transport van or a small bus. And which old wagon ever seated nine people?
Again I'm not going to paint all regulations, or even most, with one broad brush.
Please, people didn't switch to SUVs because their cars were too small, they switched because their dicks were too small. Even the Japanese compacts of the late 80s/early 90s were quite spacious, more so than some early-2000s cars like certain model Corollas that were build for hobbits and the 1st-gen Focus where the floor area of the back sear was shorter than a human foot.
That extra nighttime power will be very important as EV adoption picks up. Once most people have electric cars the new off-peak hours might be in the middle of the day.

It's obviously high from a marketing standpoint but they think the crowd's intellect is on par with Digg or Reddit :-P
No he's probably an experienced FOSS developer. And the package name for the parrot will be Polly, and the library for it will be Crackers.
Maybe Cinnabuntu with Cinnamon desktop? Sounds tasty!
Maybe he'll make an app for every major announcement after this. Or every minor announcement. Download the "Mitt took a dump" app today!

die-in-the-wool
I think you mean "dyed in the wool," although the idea that they're so devoted that they'd die with the wool still pulled over their eyes works too :-P
Gearheads are already printing those little plastic tabs - they're impossible to find for older cars.
Doing it with a machine shop requires time, skill, and more importantly a machine shop.
The Taliban builds them in caves with hand tools.
I was wondering if the fibers flew through the air shitting out rainbows while a silly tune played in the background.
Exactly. It's better to feel guilty when you actually pay for stuff. That gives the MAFIAA money.
I never understood why people target closed platforms as anything but a last resort. And the more people do it, the less open platforms there will be.
They do all seem to have "captain's chairs" now, I haven't seen any with 2 rows of benches for ages...
Shit, can you move under all that tinfoil?

I also like how you see regulations as fungible tokens.
Or something more like the plot of the upcoming Elysium movie if the shit really hits the fan,
Time Cube Guy?

Well then tax the rich :-)
