    But that provides great lines for the marketing monkeys:

    P.S.: Lack of the first coffee has made me write "pam" instead of "map" twice and still, I nailed "Oblivion!". I won't be telling that one to my psichiatrist.

    I've always wondered how much power could result from the sunlight hitting the roof of my car all day long when I'm at work. Seems like there is potential missed opportunity there.

    does it do in the crash test? And I don't think my entire family will fit either.

    Yeah!

    If the tentacles are pasta-like, you could make it a Theocracy too.

    I notice you've included about four references to the flawed plan makingmoney.

    How does making money give validity to wrong assumptions?

    What if someone discovered a free replacement to fossil fuels? Would it be acceptable to sue him on grounds of some notions of unfair competition?

    They decided they could get money from publishing information on a free medium. It was a doomed plan since day one, and now that time proved them wrong, they cry.

    this is the story Slashdot is attempting to post.

    For some reason, thinking about that sentence was deeply disturbing.

    Slashdot is attemting to post a story. It has reached self awareness.

    "Hello World! I am Slashdot."

    "Kiiiiil meee..."
