True, it does state automatic, however, in the pictures you can see it is a manual, and looking at the production info on dmcnews.com, that vin number is marked as a manual.
However, that car lacks the grooved hood (need a 1981 model for that), and the metal plate where the window switches are is improper for the car (suppose to be 5 switches across, 2 are dummies, with the cigarette lighter located elsewhere).
Buttons on the steering wheel is also improper.
I'll stop glancing at photos and nit-picking. i know I could find more.
I sure hope you are not an owner, I am though so...

You try opening up a normal car door with only 11 inches of space on the side of the car. Yes, 11 inches of space.

You must have been in one with a poor suspension, mine is nice. Take some turns at high speed that other cars have to slowdown for due to how low it sits.
An easy fix is to use a floppy disk that is the key where upon this is stored in a special holder that upon failure to remove properly (just pass them the whole thing) results in the floppy passing thru a magnetic field would render the system useless if the encryption scheme is implemented properly.
Of course, if you are that sensitive about your data, they are likely to brand you the criminal they are looking for due to not cooperating.
The article also mentions the Nintedo iQue, so it's pretty clear this is not just a mix-up regarding the new, China-only system.
I read thru the article and did not spot anything about iQue. I even did a search for it in the article and did not see anything. From the reading, it sounds like they are talking about the iQue, not a new console that will be world wide.
From the article:
The company will start selling the next-generation video game machine next year in Japan. It didn't say whether the machine would be hand-held. Sales of consoles will begin in China this month, Nintendo said.
That sure sounds like the iQue being launched in china and spreading to Japan next year.
It runs Windows XP, this means it runs the RPC service that the recent worms are having fun with that you can not kill. So, how long will it take to send the correct malformed data to the RPC service to cause your own code to run allowing for a remote command prompt.

Well, without even reading the book but reading the summary (not the whole writeup), it says it ties in Noah and the Flood.
With this, it could be said that the earth was warm before the flood (think Bible times instead of great ice age). Upon the flood it would then have frozen the nanobots in. It would also mean that any other evidence of some other civilization would be removed due to a massive flood (water is very damaging).
It actually sounds like an interesting book. Even with the knowledge of the end, reading how they got there could still be good, it just wont be as good.
I had the same deal happen at a company I use to work for. Our small group walked out as the insane hours and insane amount of stress was starting to have an impact on our health. It was a company that was so nice in the beginning that we were willing to give our spare time to them but the stress started kicking in and people's health started to suffer.
A close friend was in tremendous amounts of back pain. After taking a 2 week vacation, it went away. The day they walked back in the door and was hit with the stress that had come up from the cut-backs, the pain was back. They were not willing to give their health to the company. Stress is devistating on the body and affects people in different ways.
Don't stay at a company if the stress that is caused from company actions affect your health physicially or mentally. It just is not worth it. Of course for anyone that has a family, such working hours can put stress on the relationship too.
Of course, leaving the company may mean not having a job unless you know of a place to go. The industry is healing from the.COM bust but companies are still being careful and the healing is still taking place.
Deploying metal detectors and night vision goggles will not help. Given a few days, movies are ripped with high quality sound and video without any audience being heard. This means that there are people that run the projectors, or even possibly the owner themselves ripping the movie after the theatre has shut down.
Think an employee is going to turn themselves in when they can bypass the checks and go directly to the film reel or digital stream themselves?

Earthlink would have padded the cost to cover the cost of people signing the guy up and cost of account removal plus cost of any incoming emails about the spam going to the account and to the abuse department plus the cost of the abuse department handling the events.
As a result, your numbers end up being skewed when in reality, they could be hitting low due to missing various costs of wasting time of various employees that handled the accounts (activating, removing, handling all abuse complaints, etc).
Just thought I would point something out. It would appear that at least AMC and Muvico have The Matrix Reloaded being played at 10pm on the 14th although it doesnt release until the 15th. If you havent gotten tickets yet, maybe you should look into the 14th showing.
If anything, the computing power needed to obtain the private key is way too large. It would be cheaper and easier to access the machine that has the private key directly and just make a copy of it.

Transferrs are done via DCC and dont even go thru their servers its direct client to client.. sort of hard to track, and sort of hard to complain..
The DCC command has to go thru the IRC server to get to the other client. This means that the server can be setup to deny sending any DCC commands effectively killing most file transfering. The only thing left would be anything done via ftp sites which would still be advertised.
Companies like to issue rpm's because the majority of people are using rpm-based distros.
This right here is what can make RedHat a monopoly as RPM's are the the standard way to install things in RedHat. Just like DEB is the standard way to install in Debian.
In the past, it has been proven that.deb is much more functional than the rpm counterpart yet.deb never picked up and took off. You can try naming off alot of reasons but one reason is that RedHat went commercial while Debian has continued to stay completely free.
So, does RedHat going commercial help or hurt linux? That is completely dependent on wether or not it tries to adopt practices that other distro's use, or, if it tries to implement things and ends up forcing other distros to make changes as a side effect.
There are other engines like Genesis3D which is open source and free.
Destiny3D is in development (suppose to be going to beta in the next few months) but is only $40 and is being written to compete with things like Quake 3 and Doom 3. Of course I'm a bit one sided due to being on the development team.
I imagine the record industry, if such a format was accepted, would put a very low quality version on the redbook CD part. They could, in effect, slowly phase out the redbook CD (due to low quality) and end up forcing people to only use the heavily protected version that would be unplayable in many players (due to copy prevention).
In other Microsoft related news, the judge is quoted as saying "I will note that Microsoft sounds a little schizophrenic,"

With all the patents that the patent office fails to check, couldn't they be held liable if a non-valid patent goes thru and is used to sue a company out of existence?
I would think it would be possible for the company that lost due to an invalid patent to sue the patent office for wrongful conduct due to their own screwup which can be proven to have screwed up many times before.
