They call them that to distinguish from typical gull wing doors. They Hinge and cantilever. So that the just lift straight up without extending outward from the car.
The real issue will be when owners discover they cannot park in some extremely short underground parking garages.
The other day, I tried to stream 3D Netflix content. They list 6mbps service as needed. I did a speedtest from my laptop 50+, then from my LG TV 39+....
Yet Netflix informed me my connection was too slow. So I am HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. And will be very curious to see if this confirms my suspicions.
The overlord is the NSA, I shall be watched, Thou maketh lies to Congress, Misleadeth me on quiet matters Thou hoardeth data thy stole NSA hideth me from my rights past for fear's sake. Even though I browse through the darkest of nets, I will fear thy evil, For thou are watching me, Abroad or home thy staff, they watcheth me.

The only reason they need the FISA requests, is for when they want warrants to pursue people. Having hacked into the main internet backbones the NSA doesn't need warrants to listen or collect. They listen and collect all.
The issue is that when they want to pursue some legal aspect, pass info to the DEA, etc. Then they have to use proper channels. So they solicity a FISA request and reverse engineer the evidence.
I wager, if your dad's patent was ever violated by a large company. His chance to defend his patent is extremely slim. Even if he manages to fight in court and win, the settlement, will likely be far less than the benefit said large company derived by violating his patent.
It is not impossible for an individual small time person to purchase a patent. It is just extremely hard and nigh impossible for said individual to substantially defend and benefit, from said patent.
It also creates a fire at will mentality. Companies no longer employee people. Rather, they contract thanks to the H1B flow. So if I want to change languages, I simply fire all and hire new. The H1B creates an artificial pool of employees that let's a complany have zero obligation to its workers.
The Consumers do not benefit, because the cost savings are never passed on. For example, milk, when adjusted for inflation is only part of the equation. Rather, the cost to produce a gallon of milk was reduced 85% thanks to automation, better breeding, cows that now produce 2.5 gallons of milk for every 1 gallon that used to be produced. That "modernization/industrialization/automation" benefit is NOT being passed to you or me, the consumer.
Second, foreign workers benefit, yes...and the cultural exchange is POSITIVE. Which is why I do support it.
But the economy is hurt. Because you see, when a programmer (or middle class worker) makes $75,000, he spends a chunk of that money on frivolous local expenditures. We hit the cup cake shop, the coffee shop, amusement parks, and buy a flat screen TV. All of the above except the latter put money into the local economic system encouraging further spending. The TV only inputs minimal value, as it's manufacture is made abroad. Most of it's profits are harvested by the big corps and spun off to shareholders. A small amount of profit is applied locally to a barely above minimum wage worker. This barely meets living needs and as such does not really encourage economy growth.
Shareholers - uber elites, hold money and use it mainly for accumulation of further holdings. In a sense, they exchange money for more money, but not for growth. Minimal amount of money is moved. If I take $1 billion and buy $1 billion. It is a single transaction. Where as $1 billion respent by thousands of middle class is high velocity. And grows economy.
Furthermore, billionaires expend a very minimal amount of money. A $1 billion yacht only creates a few hundred jobs. Where as the middle class expending $1 billion creates thousands of jobs.
Trickle down economics work, but only when the trickle down comes from the middle class. Trickle down economics fails when the wealth is held by the elites, as they operate as hoarders. Hurting the entire economy.
He had the right answer, but most of his proofs had been disproven by contemporary scientistis. He was too egotistical to accept their theories (which history later proved correct), and thus was an unabashed ass in many ways. Who felt that he was beyond the need for the peer review / publication process of his day.
And what you do is talk about 1950's to 2012, 1900 to 2012, 1800's, 1600s, 1AD, 2000BC....
All of these dates a mere slivers in climate history. And most anything beyond those dates is circumspect. Based on assumptions with little proof.
Sure you can measure CO2 levels in ice cores from thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ago. And declare they were significantly lower in the past. But you have zero knowledge of how much CO2 is lost over thousands and millions of years.
Gasses like to escape. Even heavy ones are rather hard to contain for long periods of time. And any assumptions on that loss are really pretty much guesswork on the part of the scientists.
Furthermore, most of the older temperatures were derived from various methods (ice cores, tree growth rings, shellfish, etc) and then per a scientists assumptions, aligned with present day temperature recordings. There are major issues to these methods.
1. It assumes a continous unchanging pattern of use and growth, etc.
2. It fails to account for multiple factors in growth. For instance, one might exclaim that that low growth rings of a clam were due to CO2. But maybe some factor such as a glacier melting and dumping fresh water reduced growth by affecting salinity, food availability, etc.
The truth is, there is way way too much guess work. This is not to say we shouldn't reduce pollution, clean up our act. But frankly, I am far more concerned about the fact that we cut down rainforests to create grazing pasture, then pave the grazing pasture to create urbanization.
In those days, a man would be bold enough to express his opinion and stamp his name on them. And I am sure that if you gathered every Founding Father of this nation and put them on a jury. Edward Snowden would receive a unanimous decision in his favor.
Yes, the last one merely violated a law. The others are violated the Constitution...our most sacred binding document. The last one broke a law. The others committed an act that obligates EVERY service person active or prior to stand up against.
The Founding Fathers were considered traitors by the British. Patriots by the Colonials.
Snowden is considered a traitor by NSA and government cartal and the Americans that support that system. Snowden is considered a hero and patriot by Americans who believe in liberty and that our government should not be abusing power.
I'll just point out that Snowden did NOT damage the U.S. reputation in any way. Getting caught for your actions, getting caught committing a crime, the loss of reputation is not due to the one who catches but for the one committing the actions.
- Flouride, now even the FDA is turning against it. - They're listening to our phone calls and reading our emails. No, you're just crazy. Well, whad'd'ya know...they are. - Fast and Furious Gun Running, deliberate arming of cartels. Seriously, even I thought that was crazy. I was wrong.
But let me point you to the real fact. There is ZERO way for us to confirm votes. It would be extremely easy to implement in these electronic voting systems. Every voter would receive a printout with a code, heck, do it as a QR code. No names, nada, but you could take that code and go online and confirm that your vote was registered correctly. This SHOULD OF BEEN MANDATORY for these new systems.
But the truth is, when you have a zero cause issue, facing a strong vocal grass roots, and the polls are 60%-70% in favor, and then surprisingly, the end result was a complete reversal. You've got to be honest, and take a step back and evaluate the likelihood of that your election system is rigged.
GMO Labeling is a I care or don't give a damn issue. To overwhelm a grass roots issue polling at 2/3 requires a substantial amount of motivation on the part of the electorate. And honestly, that just wasn't there. This issue didn't have anything to motivate those who weren't for it, to oppose it.

I went to play a 3D streaming movie and Netflix said internet connection was too slow.
But I did a speedtest on laptop 50mbps, and did it on my LG TV...and got 39mbps. Which exceeded Netflix's recommendation.
So I am suspicious that Comcast is throttling already too.
The overlord is the NSA, I shall be watched,
Thou maketh lies to Congress,
Misleadeth me on quiet matters
Thou hoardeth data thy stole
NSA hideth me from my rights past
for fear's sake.
Even though I browse through the darkest of nets,
I will fear thy evil,
For thou are watching me,
Abroad or home thy staff,
they watcheth me.
Thou prepares an exploit for me,
presenting me as enemies,
Thou decrypt my phone with toil,
Thy datacenter overflows,
Surely thy malice and eyes will follow me
all of the day, all of my life,
and I will be monitored in my house by the NSA

Agreed....an H1B should be granted to the worker, and not tied to ANY business. At least not after the 1st year committment.
Let me explain why it is a bad thing.
The Companies shareholders benefit.
The Consumers do not benefit, because the cost savings are never passed on. For example, milk, when adjusted for inflation is only part of the equation. Rather, the cost to produce a gallon of milk was reduced 85% thanks to automation, better breeding, cows that now produce 2.5 gallons of milk for every 1 gallon that used to be produced.

Who's computer models have yet to predict anywhere close to accurately.
Creating a model that predicts the past is easy. Creating one that predicts the future....that's scientific.

He was too egotistical to accept their theories (which history later proved correct), and thus was an unabashed ass in many ways.

So will it one day be a "green land" again?
And what you do is talk about 1950's to 2012, 1900 to 2012, 1800's, 1600s, 1AD, 2000BC....

The glacier is moving a record speeds. This is due to massive accumulation of ice putting pressure on the glacier. Ice....wait.....
I thought ice was only growing in the Antarctic region, NOT the Arctic. But now you tell me it is increasing there too.
(And darn, if it ain't increasing on my home as well.)
In those days, a man would be bold enough to express his opinion and stamp his name on them. And I am sure that if you gathered every Founding Father of this nation and put them on a jury. Edward Snowden would receive a unanimous decision in his favor.
Many also swear to protect the Constitution against powers both foreign and domestic. In which case, such action trumps a violation of a lesser law.
Yes, the last one merely violated a law. The others are violated the Constitution...our most sacred binding document. The last one broke a law. The others committed an act that obligates EVERY service person active or prior to stand up against.
The Founding Fathers were considered traitors by the British.
Patriots by the Colonials.

I'll just point out that Snowden did NOT damage the U.S. reputation in any way. Getting caught for your actions, getting caught committing a crime, the loss of reputation is not due to the one who catches but for the one committing the actions.
The behavior of the US damaged it's reputation.
Actually, I think it'd be rather cool to have some wild elephants in North America.
I say we bring Asian male elephants and African females, the result will be a unique hybrid to N. America.
You'd have to be crazy.....
Seriously...the earth is hotter than it's ever been before...so I was told, by Mr. Al Gore.
Patents and Copyrights are for rich companies....not people.
Let's review the extreme paranoia....
- Flouride, now even the FDA is turning against it.
- They're listening to our phone calls and reading our emails. No, you're just crazy. Well, whad'd'ya know...they are.
- Fast and Furious Gun Running, deliberate arming of cartels. Seriously, even I thought that was crazy. I was wrong.

You mean like how the H1B visa program has been used to push wages down by about 30%
Fine, but then let Obama have the egg on his face for pardoning the twit.
