Likewise, New York has an $2,000 alternative fuels tax credit for vehicles, but you can't claim more than you pay in state income tax in any year. (You can, however, rollover the credit to future years.)
I'll be getting everything I paid to NY back this year, and then a little bit more next year.
(Oh yeah, New York also exempts $3,000 of the price of hybrid cars from sales tax. A savings of roughly $247.50)
Do note that in order to use your hybrid in Virginia's HOV lanes, you're going to need Virginia Alternative Fuel plates which you can only get by living in Virginia.
On the other hand, Virginia notes that once Maryland and Virginia reach a reciprocity agreement, you'll be able to use Maryland alternative fuel plates in Virginia's HOV lanes, and Virginia alternative fuel plates in Maryland's HOV lanes.
The hybrid technology in the Civic Hybrid was matured in the Insight. True, there is something to be said for changing the technology from one car to another, but hey, somebody bought the Mustang with serial number 1. (My civic hybrid's serial number is in the 30000's.)
You're wrong. GM dropped the line of planned electric cars because California dropped the regulation requiring a percentage of cars sold had to be electric powered.
What if you made a full internal combustion car with a lightweight aluminum chasis, a variable speed transmission, low resistance tires and sleek aerodynamics?
Then you would have a Honda Civic Hybrid.
True, mine is a 5 speed manual and not the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), it comes equipped with lightweight wheels, and sleek aerodynamics Although it looks a heck of a lot like any other Civic on the road, until you look underneath the car, you don't notice the difference.
Well, look at it this way. SLAPP isn't going to rake in the big bucks. In fact the largest SLAPP award that we've seen so far in the US was for $500,000 when everyones' favorite nut cult tried to kill a lawsuit against it.
Well, hell yeah we are. AFter getting my car broken into and having some CD's stolen, I'm taking my CD burner and making duplicate CD's that I can leave in the car and not worry so much if they get stolen. (Hell, I've even been able to add CD-Text to the CD's so my car stereo shows track and disc titles while making the copies.)
A few of the artists that I know personally were nice enough to replace the CD's that were stolen at-cost or for shipping. Big name people though, I can't even hope to get a hold of.
I will obviously draw a line somewhere between continually deleting/filtering unwanted mail which costs me in bandwidth and time, and beating them to a bloody pulp.
Which side of "breaking their kneecaps" does it fall on?
The owner has the right to see the complaint. In fact, it is required by law.
"Once notice is given to the service provider, or in circumstances where the service provider discovers the infringing material itself, it is required to expeditiously remove the material from its network. The safe harbor provisions do not require the service provider to notify the individual responsible for the allegedly infringing material before it has been removed, but they do require notification after the material is removed."
The sentencing guidelines for the crime are covered in Title 18, section 1621, among other places. Penalty is a fine and/or imprisonment of up to 5 years.
I bought a HP10Bii (business calculator). 2 days later, I had to return it to the store because the LCD screen was losing segments. I got a replacement. 2 days after I got the replacement, the same exact problem happened.
That went back to the store, and I now own a TI BA II Plus, and will never buy another HP calculator again.
I had Sprint back when I lived in Rochester. It was great, always had good reception (living near 2 major colleges really helps that). Now that Ive moved into a bassackwards town, I find that my apartment is in a no-sprint service zone. Even when it's plugged in, my phone shuts itself off at night because it can't find a signal anywhere, and I am constantly bombarded with the "Bloop-bleep!" of moving in and out of digital-analog ranges.
I'm dropping Sprint when my contract ends in 15 days. Verizon has a store just down the street from me. I think they'll have better service there:-)

Sorry, Car Talk has already named the VW Jetta as the number one gay mens' car.
I passed on the Jetta and got a Honda Civic Hybrid instead.

Google for Santa Cruz Operation. See what company comes up.

The big money will come in the punitive damages.

Breaking into my house and taking my stereo is not the same thing as copying a Britney Spears CD.
Yes, but breaking into your house and breaking my Britney Spears CD might be considered community service.
The Catholic Church has never been comparable to Scientology.
Well, Scientologists don't burn people alive.
No, they electrocute.
Be species-neutral too. Call them Congresscritters.
And he's not making it up, that's what it says on the House website.
"Write Your Representative - Contact your Congressperson in the U.S. House of Representatives."

You may shudder... I just think of pr0n.
Yes, but then you would be $cientology.

There is a penalty, however, most attorney generals ignore the crime.
Title 28, Section 1746 "Unsworn declarations under penalty of perjury".
The sentencing guidelines for the crime are covered in Title 18, section 1621, among other places. Penalty is a fine and/or imprisonment of up to 5 years.
We hacked the constitution too. It was easy, they had the data on a IIS server.
They're pricing Microsoft right into competition!

My phone number is in a different area code. I'd really prefer to have a local number.
