Hehe. Actually, her old car died months ago and she put off getting a new one as long as she could. She's been bike-commuting and using public transportation, but there comes a time (namely Minnesotan Winter) and a place (namely the Twin Cities public-transport-weak suburbs) where that becomes impractical.
So she's getting a small and efficient car and will use it as little as possible.
I just played The Simpsons Game which, granted, is 2 years old, but it's still a PS3 game and has fairly decent graphics, and it was pretty funny at times. Sure, it's no Monkey Island, but hey.
I dunno, I'm pretty sure that they could figure that out if they REALLY wanted to. Honestly, the Civic DX/LX/EX/Hybrid are virtually identical except for features, and the hybrid engine in the hybrid. Not like the engine wouldn't fit in the Civic DX.
I do agree. They took the most expensive Civic (well, other than the SI) and stuck a hybrid into it. Why not stick a hybrid engine in the CHEAP Civic? Toyota did the same thing with the Camry hybrid. Why not stick a hybrid engine in a Corola?
Honda DOES have the new Insight which is pretty cheap, compared to a Prius/Civic/Camry Hybrid. Unless you want, I dunno, cruise control or something.
They probably have some safety concerns with that.
When I got my Civic, it was in the hope that in a few years they'll have better technology than gas/electric hybrids... but for now it's a pretty good option. And even though it's heavier than a 1980s Civic, it's the lightest car I've ever driven...
Oh for gods sake! TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN. Milk it for all you can! To quote Homer Simpson when Bill Gates offers to buy him out, "I put my heart and soul into this business and now it's finally paying off!"
Seriously, get enough money to be comfortable. If you guys end up not liking working for the megacorp, QUIT AND START ANOTHER COMPANY doing something else. Maybe you'll get bought again!
I don't know where people are getting the number of votes from. I see "Colbert" is leading the User Suggestions, but I don't see a vote count anywhere. I see "Serenity" has 85% of the regular votes, but it doesn't say anywhere whether it has more or less votes than Colbert does.
I have no doubt that Colbert can and will (or has!) overtaken everything else, but where are people seeing actual results here?
This is great. I'm hurting for a new desktop and was planning on getting an AM2 CPU.
I still am, but knowing that the AM3 was just around the corner, waiting to knock all the AM2/AM2+ prices down has delayed my plans for a few weeks, and now there's finally an end in sight!
The article states that the "5D" camera used for the photo has 12.8mp and costs $2K. This is true for the 5D, but the 5D Mark II has ~21MP and costs considerably more than $2K. If it cost $2K I'd get one!
If Andrew Keen said the sun will rise tomorrow, and winter will be followed by spring, and the sky is blue and water is wet, I'd have serious doubts about those things. Or I'd assume he has yet another crackpot theory book out and he's promoting it. The guy's been predicting the death of Wikipedia and OSS for years now.
And wasn't there just an article the other day about how this crisis is GOOD for OSS?
MMOs were supposed to be The Future of The Internet 15 years ago. I am personally somewhat tired of them. And of hearing about a new one about to come out and how great it'll be, etc. It's kind of old news by now.
Maybe not, but it makes it not as trivial as mere audio OR usable over a modem. Trust me, I've tried. Or rather been on the receiving end of someone else trying.

Plus I have one too so we can match!
Yes, she is.

I dunno, she's getting a Honda, they'd probably PREFER if I stop her.
Sales people LIE??? Noooo! My faith in mankind is DESTROYED!
Now I must leave this place - my girlfriend is thinking about buying a car, and I MUST STOP HER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
Simpsons: Hit & Run was not nearly as much fun as The Simpsons Game. I never even finished it. The Simpsons Game actually had a decent plotline.

My car gets 42mpg average right now. That's the EPA estimate and is actually what I seem to be getting in the real world.
Honda Civic Hybrid. I love it. But frankly I'd like them to be WELL up into 100 seven years from now.

Just make sure you don't sign anything stupid.
I wonder if I can start a professional World's Smallest Violin league...

Also around "technology".

It's called "Butter" and it's available at any grocery store!

I'll get right on that.

Oh my GOD, that is the most awesome news I've heard all week!
No, wait, the other thing. Yet another MMO, cause, you know. There's totally not enough of those around.
Wake me up when... eh, I'll wake up when I'm ready.

You do realise that skype does video as well as audio, right?
