If I'm not mistaken (my father owns one), I believe they are PZEV, which is partial zero-emission vehicle. Of course no gas-electric hybrid can be a ZEV.
Thirty years ago it was rare to expect any car, let alone a US built one, to last much more than 150k. Manufacturing has greatly improved. Even manufacturers that build ``below average'' vehicles are putting out product that lasts far longer than the bad old days. There is no prima facie reason that a Hummer wouldn't last for 300k miles given that, unlike the Prius, Hummers don't have uber-expensive batteries that will almost certainly need to be replaced at 100k miles.
Only you're totally wrong. Just one example: "Grant -- a one-time car salesman who, when he's not driving, is studying to be an executive business coach -- is on his third Prius now. (Toyota, seizing a chance to evaluate the car's durability, took his original back after he'd driven it 200,000 miles in 25 months and exchanged it with a 2003 model, fully outfitted for fares.) Compared to conventional taxis, his current 2004 Prius saves between $900 and $1,100 per month in fuel costs alone, and his repair bills -- thanks to automotive innovations such as regenerative braking, which reduces wear and tear on the brake pads -- have been cut by more than half."...from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8839690/ .
No battery has ever been replaced so far due to age related failure, and there are certainly cars out there with more than 100k miles on them. Here are more:

Wouldn't turning your head behind you cause you to rearend the guy who's cutting you off/stopping in front of you? Use the mirrors and keep your eyes forward.
I'm told the place to have them is so you can just see your door handle when your head is up against the glass (for the driver's side) and the center of the car for the passenger's side.
That seems to work wonders -- cars pass from the rearview directly into my side mirrors. It takes a slight bit of getting used to (you can't see your car -- you just need to know what part of your periphery that mirror shows), but it's safe.
If you need to see for backing into a spot, stretch your neck out (curbs, etc).
I recommend the Kubuntu or Ubuntu LiveCD. Take a look at the screenshots to see which you might prefer (Ubuntu is GNOME for a window manager, Kubuntu is KDE).
Should not have ordered the Dell with the Broadcom chips since they offer IPW. You can even probably swap out the chipset (though I'm not sure if it's MiniPCI or whether it's onboard).
I had T-Mobile before my boss said that she'd pay for a Verizon phone. I actually miss their service. Customer service was competent and polite. For the $29.99 total internet plan, I not only got unrestricted/unlimited internet access, but I could connect the phone anyway I wanted since its GSM and at least for Palm, there is a default/unlocked-GSM firmware available (I flashed mine away from Cingular Blue).
Verizon charges my company $49.99 and says that if I want to tether, it's an extra $15/mo on top of that! I have software to get around this, but that's absolutely outrageous. The speed is better, but not THAT much better!
I have been looking, and have not found, 7-watt replacement outdoor Toro/Malibu bulbs. I have outdoor lighting that burns out regularly and I'd love to throw LED's in there and be done with it (cost be damned). I haven't seen them yet, though.
Kubuntu has been fine too. Only problem I've had has been inconsistent: the screen will sometimes not come back on when opening the lid or coming back from sleep. It usually works, but sometimes does not. Actually, the other thing is that on Kubuntu, one needs to boot, fail to start X, and then change the display driver to 'vesa' -- perhaps in text mode, this would have been easier.
Wireless was detected automatically, as was sound. I guess the only thing I had to do anything special for were the screen (915resolution) and the modem (the Linuxant drivers work fine, but they cost $19.99 which I have not paid yet).
I haven't gotten WPA with LEAP working yet though. NetworkManager 0.6 does not support it, and 0.7 hasn't come out yet apparently.
I just bought a Dell Latitude D620. I would have ordered it with Linux, but was not able to from Dell. In fact, I would have preferred a Linux vendor, but the prices WERE higher due to economies of scale, I'm guessing, and also my boss was reluctant to order from someone that was different than what the university store sold.
In any case, though, there IS a vendor out there (EmporerLinux) that resells regular laptops (Lenovo, Dell, etc.) with Linux on them. For example, the Tiger D620 is the same as my laptop. This was enough proof for me that Linux worked pretty well on it (and that there might be enough information out there). I'm kinda sorry I didn't buy for them, but I didn't want to bicker with my boss over it.

No.

You've got the hang of it!
Not only that -- Ubuntu is certified on SPARC.
I recommend the Kubuntu or Ubuntu LiveCD. Take a look at the screenshots to see which you might prefer (Ubuntu is GNOME for a window manager, Kubuntu is KDE).

Less sand.
Fewer grains of sand.
In fact, in this case, less seed, fewer seeds.

There's no proviso that someone has to be willing to count the seeds, just that it is possible.
I suppose one could say it's theoretically possible to count the molecules in a substance, but...

In the US, it does. CFL's that are the warmer color seem to have become widespread in the last 12 months or so.
