You're the only reference I can find on the "suicide" of Gary Kildall. References on the Net say he died of a fall (accident? fight?) he took at a bar in Monterey.
I disagree -- the aftermarket support it has is pretty good. I've installed a number of these kits and been very happy with them.
That said, the Prius is pretty self-consciously a hybrid car, trying to establish a unique, "high-tech" look; the Civic Hybrid does a good job of not calling attention to itself. Your choice.

... well, no, there's also Sprint Broadband, which is a fixed wireless antenna with 1.5 Mbps throughput for almost half the price ($40/month) of Ricochet. I've been quite happy with it -- feel free to read other reviews on DSLReports.
Aaron may be incapable of improving its art, but Harold Cohen certainly is. The program's constant evolution by his hands is probably as significant to its work as anything it can do autonomously.
You can criticize the results on their own merits, but Cohen is really just trying to explore and codify what he would do to create an image. The aesthetics of that image are his, not Aaron's.
I've been quite happy with Sprint Broadband Direct service (www.sprintbbd.com). At $40/month, it sure beats what I was paying for a lousy 208kbps SDSL line. Zero software hassles -- when they were sure they could ping out from their laptop, they just gave me my IP address and nameservers and left me alone.
You do have to be line-of-sight from the antenna, though -- my antenna is 10' above the roof to clear a nearby hill.

So why cast that allegation?
