you are forgetting that not all power is created at fossile fuel burning power plant.
so for the sake of argument let's just assume your numbers are correct. you said a gas car is roughly 30% efficient. i read several other comments mentioning that 20% of power in the US is generated via nuclear power. we will even forget that some power is also generated via other clean methods such as wind solor or hydro.
so taking this into account that makes our car suddenly 20% more efficient since 20%+ of the power isn't from fossile fuels so....24 +.24*20% =.29 wow, that seems aweful close to your number for efficiency of a gas car! and we even left out a number of other types of clean power generation.
also it takes a lot of energy to refine gas from crude oil. so that should be added into your calculations for the efficiency of a gas car. generally most fossil fuel plants don't use the same fuels you burn in your car, so you would probably have to take into account the refining of their fuel as well.
now 3/4 of statistics are made up on the spot so take this with a grain of salt. maybe my math is bad or there is some other flaw in my argument, but the point i wanted to make is that the efficiency isn't as simple as you are trying to make it out to be.
that is the problem...how would you know when they aren't feeding you bullshit? what if they already are telling you what they really know and you just don't believe it because you think the story you made up is more plausible?
also how does "* half of the presumed "hijackers" still alive in Saudi Arabia or Qatar " prove anything other than we don't know WHO the hijackers were?
tell me this, if you think that the government is so malicious and full of such masterminds to pull of a conspiracy of this magnitude while fooling millions of people into thinking it was a ragtag group of terrorists, then why did they not have the foresight to also cover their tracks with building 7? why would they leave such a glaring hole that you could use to pick apart their entire story and make their whole "conspiracy" come crumbling to the ground?

Actually, I wonder if some channels will actually become FREE in the hopes of selling ads. (I guess that didn't work in newspapers and magazines, but they are cheap.)
some channels alread do it...they are called over the air and have existed for many many years (even before cable--gasp!!!). and i know a great many people that don't have cable or sattelite and only watch these "free" channels.
seriously, it shows that it is possible for a company to broadcast without charging a fee. heck making yourself available over cable should theoretically be cheaper than broadcasting over the air, because then you don't necessarily need all those expensive transmitters.
maybe instead of taxing gas we could just tax vehicles based on efficiency!
isn't that what taxing gas does? the more gas a car uses the more taxes a person pays for that vehicle...thus you are essentially taxing vehicles with bad gas milleage more than vehicles with good gas milleage
Some (lots) of us who voted for Bush did so because we disliked Kerry
instead of voting for someone you disliked less, you should have voted for a candidate you did like. there are many great 3rd party candidates out there, the problem is people don't think they could possibly win the election, and so no one votes for them. this has become a self fulfilling prophecy...no one is willing to vote for them, so there is no possibility they will ever be elected. we need to break from this cycle/mentality and start voting for the GOOD candidate, not just the lesser of two evils! if everyone voted for who they precieved to be the good candidate, then some of these 3rd party candidates would indeed be capable of being elected.
by voting for what you perceived to be the lesser of two evils you simply wasted your vote, and now you have to live with the poison you chose yourself
I think I heard a statistic on a television show the other night stating that 20% of adults think the Sun revolve around Earth.
damn that is bad, only 20% of people know the truth! didn't we learn from einstein that motion is relative? since motion is relative, then we are stationary observers...the sun does indeed revolve around the earth, and the earth for all practicality is the center of the universe since it is our point of refference for everything we see in the universe.

from the frame of reference of the photon itself, since time does not pass for it, it believes that it is moving at infinite velocity.
Look at the simulator and just imagine changing the waves slightly so that the pulse moves backward instead of forward.
or instead of imagining it you can click on the simulator and it does it for you...
yeah, that worked well with the DMCA didn't it?

So how do we overclock it?

darn right! that is the way it should be! heck it should be even cheaper than it is!
you should be appalled that you let your greedy govts in europe beat you over the head with the tax club every time you fill up your tank.
americans hate taxes...we went to war with england over taxes. damn right we aren't going to let any tax go on our gas without complaining
