Your population is in decline. Your social welfare system is going bankrupt. Your native born population and native culture is being replaced with North Africans and their culture. Soon your vaunted cathedrals, castles, and museums will be abandoned, your EU constitution replaced by Sharia Law. As Islam imposes its ignorance your best and brightest will flee. Its over, we helped save you from the Germans and held the Soviet bear at bay. In the end; however, your own worst enemy was yourselves. Pink Floyd said it best "did you trade... cold comfort for change, did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a leading role in a cage". You got comfortable, you lost your hunger, you lost your edge. Don't get me wrong, I am not at all happy about this, but that does not change the fact that it is over. As far as China is concerned, people said the same thing about Japan and look what happened. Also, China will never be a World player like Russia, France, UK, US. Why? Because they do not have the kind of global amibition that some western countries have. Why? Because they still view themselves as the middle kingdom, between heaven and earth, with all else being barbarity. Also, China is destined to go the way of the Soviet Union. India will be the dominant asian power by 2010. Having just glanced back at your comment, the part about the news of EU expansion. That is your critical failure, you only look at yesterday and today. It is tomorrow that is important, that is where America lives, it lives in tomorrow. Americans are criticized for not knowing their own history, I would posit that Americans know the difference between knowing their history and being tied to it.
No, but in good free-market fashion the expense of solicitation will keep the kiddies away. Then again, if little johhny (pun intended) cuts all the lawns on the block once a week so he can get his groove on, well there is another good lesson of the free market.
That's why this is civil law and not criminal law. It is easier to convince a jury when the threshold is a "preponderance of evidence" versus "beyond a shadow of a doubt".
Uhhh... yeah... Frace "shut-up" to EU nations supporting the US and Belgium, who thinks they can try anyone, from anywhere. It would be okay if they had the muscle to make it happen.

What?!?! Are you a moron? "they exist outside of time"?!!? What kind of new-age, hippie, dope-head shit is this? God fucking damnit of all the slashtard slugs that inhabit this blog you must be the stupidest. Let me guess, you're one of those dipdunks that has a "visualize world peace" sticker on your car. Get a clue and get an education, as it stands now, you represent the worst of human intellectual (in)capacity. Tell you what, I'll give the benefit of a doubt, how about explaining how they "exist out of time". At a minimum I expect a logical analysis of how thoughts exist out side of the brain and a rational mechanism by which they interface with the cortex. Without these (at a minimum) you shall remain an ignorant slug.
> It seems that nobody's come up with a reasonable solution to this problem.
It only seems that way because you are too busy trolling slashdot. DaimlerChrysler has already done the engineering and no doubt Honda has also spent significant amounts of R&D money on safety.
> Secondly, there's the problem of fuel distribution.
again, both Honda and DC will be fielding a fleet of mobile refueling stations and my guess would be putting refueling stations at the dealerships that sell the cars.
> The only way I can really see this chicken-and-egg problem being overcome is massive government investment
This goes beyond free market or government subsidy. This is, in Japan's case, liberating themselves from 100% dependence on foreign oil and in Germany's case responding to green social pressure. If Germany and Japan go hydrogen, pretty much the rest of the world will follow.
>they're mostly a curiosity (and a very expensive one, at that.)
I believe the estimated price of the GM AUTOnomy will be about 18K.
iirc, the hebian learning that takes place in pre-natal and neo-natal brains is like this, trying to synch the firing between clusters of physically seperate but functionally related neurons.
The sad thing is that in the event of a countersuit, the directors and senior management of SCO will walk. The countersuit will be against the company, not the people that run the company. If they are investigated for fraud and found guilty, chances are they are insured against liability and won't pay a cent. On top of that they probably all have riders in their employment contracts that provide a hefty payout in case of business failure. The suits will walk with a big fat check and anyone who had SCO stock will be left with toilet paper.
Just because you are too stupid to wear a seatbelt doesn't mean everyone else should see their medical insurance premiums go up. Why should valuable and limited medical resources be expended on morons who do not buckle up? Why should those of us who buckle up pay for those who don't? Now, if we were to pass a law that states that anyone who is injured in an automobile accident and who is either the driver or a passanger over the age of 18 and not wearing a seatbelt will be denied medical care (basically left to die on the side of the road) I'd be all for repealing seatbelt laws. Please do everyone a favor and involve yourself in a one car, fatal accident before you breed.

careful with statements like that, the teachers union will put a contract out on you.
> In fact, why not thru monsterpatterns, since they're already effectively functioning as a remainder dealer, and already have a customer base? Instead of this legal mess, they'd have a secondary market (much as remaindered books do), a happy business partner, and ultimately more customers.
except of course the American consumer market would be gone, what percentage of your trillion dollar economy is dependent on exports to the US? If you think it isn't a problem, think again. The G-8 leadership is pissing its collective pants at the thought of a weak dollar. Image what chaos a total collapse would bring. Not to mention what an implosion of the US equities market would do to the world economy.

duh! Using the fuel cell to generate the electricity....

I believe the estimated price of the GM AUTOnomy will be about 18K.
while I do not have any of the links, there has been significant effort in the area of using chemical processes to seperate out the hydrogen.
or just use a home stationed fuel cell to recharge the electric car

If the compress don't fit, you must accquit.

2 grand?!?! 2000$!?!!?!, If I cut the check now will everyone just shut up?
or is that the British (European?) 2,000 million? IIRC the British don't have a term billion. Or is that 2000$ per plantiff in a class action lawsuit?
