I love it when people post comments authoritatively stating their views on new technology without reading the article (yes, all five pages). And what's wrong with a 500lb car if its body is as strong as that of a regular car--think of how quickly you could accelerate and brake.
How about not doing it until you have a powerplant that at least comes close to matching the efficiency and performance of a gasoline motor?
And if you want, you'll be able to switch vehicle bodies--you can have a convertible or t-top in the summer and a minivan in the winter, and you can change it to a pickup when you need to haul something.
Thus, you could see many interesting designs, and probably designs just like cars you have now.
For instance, when your peasants are done building, they will go and do something useful like chop lumber or mine gold.
Aww, I always won games because I could micro-manage better than everyone else. Strategy was sorta important, tactics nonexistent (select guys, tell them to patrol to a specific area of the map, forget about them), but games were won by micro-management. I still remember about ten different War2 opening build orders to about thirty steps--all based on different levels and situations. This'll make it easy for everyone to easily do what I could do so well.
That may not work on M$ products because on the box it says the user must agree to the enclosed EULA before using the program. If they don't agree, the box says they can return it, even when it's opened. Thus using the EULA remover wouldn't accomplish anything.
I remember reading a story of about a man talking on a cell phone on a ski gondola at a resort in Aspen. Another man, sitting next to him, asked him quietly how much the phone (a new, state of the art model) had cost. When the first man replied "Four hundred dollars," the second snatched it, threw it out the window of the gondola, and calmly handed him four Ben Franklins.
That's just rude--it's causing no more annoyance than if the person was talking to someone in person, just that only half the conversation can be eavesdropped on. Now, in a movie theater, you don't even have to give them a, uhh, refund.
You mean Eastasia and Eurasia, right? We don't really know anything about Eastasia or Eurasia except that we were at war with Eastasia and then we were at war with Eurasia and we had never been at war with Eastasia--or maybe there never actually was a war.
If I'm working the back drive-thru at a certain unnamed fast food restaurant, my drawer stays open and I do the change in my head--it's much faster than typing it in and waiting for the computer to show the amount (I generally work much faster than the registers--it only processes about 1 button push every second), and then I clear the order by hitting "Change to the Nearest $".
I frequently work back drive-thru (aka "the hole", for short) at a fast-food restaurant, and that takes way too long. Especially when I'm taking orders and money. Also, I lay the money out most of the time, but when I make a mistake, I generally find a 20 on top of the 10s. And most of the time my drawer's w/in 10 or 20 cents. And you always say the denomination of the bill that they give you out loud, which helps prevent mistakes.

I actually like HTML email--especially when sending it to AOL users.
Don't pay for the imported stuff. Drink Buzz Beer, brewed in a garage in Cleveland, Ohio.
Well, if it flops when they first release it, they'll essentially lose that billion, and they'll forget about it for years, until we actually need it.
Should that be $.04?
This is the address I always use:

I'm going to try it sometime over the summer. Probably with AoE, as that actually isn't that bad of a game, if I must keep it. Hopefully I won't.

But not to read an article. Also, I have a dialup connection and I never bother with videos.

M$ will veto it.
And CNN doesn't require registration...yet.
Yea, even though 1% doesn't seem all that great, there aren't that many large asteroids that come within 120,000km of the Earth.
Sorry, IE isn't going to do this. I had MSN Internet for awhile, and msn.com and all of the ____.msn.com sites used a popup on nearly every page.
You should be using Hotmail.

But, of course, he'll always try to find that 99 cents so that you don't have to make change for him.

I think I've worked there too long.
Makes me think more of the big ball that pursued him after he went a few steps past that door.
