Destroying the engines and the spares was just another way of making sure your 88 bronco will have to be retired and replaced sooner. I am not in the US but I was horrified. They would have destroyed my car and I get 100km/6l and that's just horrific behaviour
The nuclear shills didn't all go away. In Australia I watched Ziggy Switkowski appear on television about a week after the Japanese disaster and say that what was happening in Japan showed that the Japan crisis teaches much about value of nuclear energy. I am biased posting this as I have always hated Ziggy even when he was just a dumb cartoon character.
Back in the eighties the thing we most feared was coming upon a recent comp. sci. graduate at the places we were contracted to work at. The destruction they are capable of is just incredible and the arrogance with which they can do so is stunning. My first job in the industry was given to me after being given a manual for the weekend and then coming in and writing some code from scratch to prove I could do it. I loved that job.
Though few and far between there really are nice people out there. A few years back I was living in rented accomodation. After about five years with no rent increases we got a letter from the landlord apologising to us that he couldn't reduce the rent to compensate us for being such good tenants. He didn't increase it either.
Environmentalists have a bad name because the industries that are doing all the damage find character assassination easier than actually cleaning up their mess.
Rigggght.... It's all a big conspiracy against environmentalists perpetrated by the big bad corporations.
You are factoring in the concept of increasing price and decreasing availability of electrickery on demand aren't you? I certainly have and we have put our money where my mouth is. Not connected to the grid, haven't been for seven years and couldn't be happier. Expensive now? of course but it isn't stopping us adding another 4.5kW in the near future(wind and solar).
You do realize that when people say "I love America" they mean less "I love the part of the planet, right here, from this place to that" and more "I love the noble beliefs and ideals upon which this nation that I am a part of is based", right?
You actually think that the majority of people from the USA have any concept of nobility, morality, or, even what the word ideals actually means?
Pure ethanol is higher octane than gasoline, and requires engine adjustments (mostly timing, but changing the compression ratio can also help) to avoid pinging.
Just more evidence that computer management systems in cars does no good. Now my Chevy is doing denial of service
Agreed 100%. I'd add that there is one of those slippery slopes between honest difference of opinion and people spreading intentionally false or misguided (uninformed) information.
I'm sorry but data can be made to say just about anything. One of the benefits of the meltdown in Tokyo(see I'm getting it right) is that the boiling point of water has been lowered by two degrees. This in itself will help to ameliorate the greenhouse effect in a quintessentially dodecahedral exponentially extrapolated curve. Thank God that Jesus loves us all and we get to die soon for being so evil. I must blog on this now.
I thought this site was full of smart people. For chrissakes all you need is a rubber band, small marble, plastic drinking straw, and a potato! have you no vision?

If you don't what that photo of your dick to be on a porn site don't put it on TwitPic.
or even just a medical oddities site

I would feel safer with cars designed by Google and touted as self driving than ones built by the government and certified by the same

In a slightly related way. Section 1706 was cited in Joe Stack's suicide letter. He was the guy who landed his plane in an IRS building.
And just when does being able to kludge together an operational website('web application' to the HR department) mean you can develop anything anyway?
I blew that thing so much trying to get it to work (often failing)
Upgrade to a PC. You can get USB attachments that actually blow you.
Wow. Just wow. Maybe he should piggyback a bunch of d-link routers too.

It's a technology with a relatively limited utility, but enormous cost of developing. How many places can you build this thing?
Just about anywhere you can find technologically illiterate taxpayers
As a Slashdotter, I find I get more value out of one of those flashlights you have to jerk back and forth to build up a charge. ;)
But it's only flashing if you have a webcam right?

And propagated by complete tosspots

Why is this a troll?
I have read the left behind series of books and I am not concerned as jesus is coming back and everything will be peachy

Riiiiight, because governments are rushing to validate the statements of irrelevant slashbots (myself very much included) by disappearing them?
Maybe not the disappearing part but other than that it's spot on.
So I'm wrong except for the part I was actually commenting on, about which I'm right? Get a grip.
I suspect he has a very strong but slippery grip
Paranoid tinfoil hat wearers can't come up with conspiracies fast enough to catch up with reality.
And the hats only stop the voices
How does that work, Macgyver?

And when you have accidents that rare, what do you do? Make your own accidents? That's what they did with Chernobyl, after all.
They made an accident? I think we can lay the blame for Chernobyl at the feet of the USA. As well as ABSOLUTELY ALL of the world's problems.
My bad - maybe this is of interest
My Panels have warranties 90% of peak efficiency at ten years and 80% at twenty years. Whoever told you seven year replacemnt is full of it.
