Except that Hybrids right now are being bought up as novelty items new or used. It wont be too long and the supply will equal out with the demand and they'll depreciate the same or worse than regular cars. I say worse due to the impending battery failure that is going to happen much sooner than any other standard part.

Not any longer. Any organization will eventually cease it's original goal and become a living non-entity that will work more to continue to exist than it will to support it's original cause.
Well, then we must not be special. Of all the solar systems we have enough information about to make a judgment about, statistically 100% of them are just like ours.
Compared to people who don't follow a map correctly? Or the guy at the convenience store that thinks it's funny to give someone totally made up directions? The only difference this has is that of scale. It's like the same convenience store clerk giving the same bad directions to 100s of people.
i can't stand it when people just blindly stick in an address and let some little thing on the dash tell them when to turn.. and just drive on not even bothering to look where it is going to take them.
Either that's some extreme hyperbole or you need to relax a bit, geesh.
Don't forget to subtract minimum wage from your formula for yard work, house cleaning, and similar unpaid chores. (of course don't included cleaning your own room)
Also consider the "hobby" (for lack of a better term) value that you contributed to your parents life and money that they may have spent on something else that may have been more or less for filling.
Exactly, perhaps it's time for social security and retirement ages to be adjusted to the actual ages it was originally intended for. At the time that SS was introduced, living past 62 meant you probably lived longer than you may have planned to, so SS could kick in and help out. Now days that should probably be raised to something closer to 70.
It's quite strange. A friend of mine moved so I plucked his new address into my little gps nav unit and used it to find his house. A week later I thought about it and couldn't even think of how to get there so I pulled up the route and used it again with out a second thought. After about 2 months of this it dawned on me that I had no idea how to get there without my little nav unit. I finally forced my self to find it without the unit. One time doing that and I didn't need it any more.
you just advocated private industry over government control. May you're karma survive.
I think it's funny how in a tech site the govenement should control everything non-tech related but all tech stuff they need to keep their hands off. I see far to often "I hate GWB, but he should control my healthcare"
Is this a technical answer based on the approximate size of a laptop battery or a comedic answer based on the catching on fire problems some recent laptop batteries have had?
Maybe it's just me, but I usually set my desktop to black anyway as one of the first steps after an install. This sounds to me like a feature rather than a deterrent.
Hoary for more government in Washington controlling what I do from 4000 miles away. George Bush I'm sure will be able to fund and runt his project well. Or the next dud president that we get. More taxes and higher costs. That's what I've always wanted. But hey it'll combat the latest boogieman that the Washington is pushing.
I think he qualified the statement when he didn't have to. He posted that it was in an envelope at the bottom of a filing cabinet. I think the sentence could have ended at, "There was never a transaction."
While it is true at an absolute level that if people reduce their caloric intake below caloric expenditures, they will lose weight, this is not always a healthy option.
I've always likened this to saying, "Only fill your gas tank up half way and you'll get better gas millage."
is this a trick question? Is there any that are less violent than homosapien? It is somewhat eletest to think that you are the most violent when we as species are not even close. We have the luxary of the ability to have pacifists among us. Some other species, every single member, has to be extremely violent just to survive.
Actually biometrics not changing are the thing that make them very useful. Combined with a card and pin you have something that is as near to uncrackable as you are going to get. If someone steals and reproduces your biometric data they still don't know your pin or have your card. If they steal your card and beat you silly until you give up your pin then you just call and have them turned off. Then go to the identification authority get your biometric data revalidated and get new card and pin.
There will always be the 'bribe the authority' option, but there really is no way to get around that.

1) Democrats plan
2) Republicans plan
3) Libertarians plan

I guess it just didn't. I also didn't really try to pay attention to the route. I just new that if I followed the directions I'd end up there.

As someone who put a bun in the oven, and just mowed the lawn last night, I don't see where this belly laugh is coming from.
I blame Clinton for the 8 years of abnormally high sun spot activity during the 90s.

What a ridiculous question. I mean really, "who cares?"
I only want to know if it has been consecutive days of a Julian calendar month. That is all.

I blame Geroge Bush for all this. Notice this report is out and FEMA hasn't responded yet.

Credit card numbers are fail because they are used without any other identification.
Biometric + pin + car = only way to be as sure as possible.

I think this is all just part of Geico's back-pedal campaign.
