Apparently you haven't considered the fact that the electricity has to come from *somewhere*.
That's why I drive an environmentally friendly hydrogen powered 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Gets almost 22 MPG of hydrogen. But I prefer to call liquid sunshine.
The fuel sites are being kept a big secret by the (pick any) military-industrial-complex/government/industry/co mmunists/socialists/republicans/democrats/green party/anarchists/neo-Nazis/Arabs/Jews/Illuminati/M asons/Catholics/Vatican/Protistants/Templers/other s.
They found an ingenious way to mix hydrogen with carbon so it stays liquid long enough for me to drive to the virgin woodlands and feed the trees with the exhaust! Trees love CO2 as well as the H2O that comes out of the exhaust pipe.
I get my hydrogen at Exxon stations. If I buy enough at one time I get a free carwash too!
Except for this part: However, it will also tell the speed cameras what speed you're doing, it'll log your name each time you drive down a toll-road (i.e. central london)
Until they add Big Brother biometric identification it can only transmit the name of the owner of record and that is only as good as the last database entry by whomever thracks that where it is registered.
In case of a crash, the cars would each have a record of what all of the other cars in the area, etc. did.
Great idea Big Brother.
I certainly do not mind the idea of my having a record of what my car was doing, but nobody else, including the cops and insurance companies, gets that record until my lawyer and I decide to release or trade it.
As far as monitoring what other vehicles are doing around me, or you, I see no reason why we should not be "allowed" to record that either (passive systems, visual, sonar, etc). However, some courts disagree with me on that as a brief glance through the YRO section will show.
Try reading it as it is written. I mentioned nothing of what I want nor of how I wish things to be. I only stated the way things are and who is responsible.
But seriously, the courts broke up the bells for a reason, and it wasn't so they could be all bought out into a monopoly again.
Yes, that reason was that the Bell system asked to no longer be a regulated monopoly utility. The breakup was part of the remedy.
Granted, the breakup was not so they could reform and be an unregulated utility and they were resricted from certain business areas until competition took hold, but if they prove enough competition is out there they do not have to become a monopoly-regulated utility any more either.
You need to coax whatever pesky government beurocracy covers utilities in your area.
You see, it is the government that is the roadblock here, not the corporations. The government (pick a level) has the final authority, not any corporation.
Folks can shout all they want about "secret" payoffs, purchase of politicians, et. etc, but the bottom line is the politicians can ignore the business folks, just like they did with Enron. Noooo, not the Enron myth, what happened for real. Note the Enron is bankrupt now, no larger a bazillion dollar firm. If they really got any meaningful help they would still be a huge firm.
Bottom line is, the government made the decision in this article and they would also call the shots on the utility that you theorize too.
When you go to testify before the Congress, do not go in your Star Trek uniforms like your parents did!
They will not take you seriously unless you are wearing AUTHENTIC Star Wars gear. Make sure you keep those light sabers holstered too, that Capital security is pretty jumpy these days.
"they" being the managers were the ones making the specifications.
I could and did stand up and argue all I wished, but the final decision was theirs.
It is pretty annoying to put up with them, but it is equally annoying listening to the approach you are bringing, if I am reading what you wrote the way you intended it to sound.
Frankly I'd like those people to have a firm understanding of how the "regular" military units and people operate.
Total agreement there. We have had that problem in Aviation since about 1983, when the branch was formed and immediately started training Aviation Officers within the branch from day one.
In the past, one had to work in another branch, at least through their Basic Course, before going to flight school and then they were still maanaged by their primary branch. We (I was Armor and Air Defense before going Aviation) had a much better understanding and appreciation of the "ground guys" than these newer folks seem to have.
On another note, they could add Sim bust-your-knuckles-repairing-track and Sim bang-the-crap-out-of-your-head-inside-the-tank, Sim fall-off-the-speed-rope, i.e., "you can get hurt without being shot" games.
It is nice to see that we now have a Justice Department that will actually prosecute FBI agents. In the recent past, bad agents were inventing cases and killing innocent people, all without a slap on the wrist.
Nice to see that *something* changed, now if the Justice Department would just leave the common folk alone all will be much better.
How the hell do these guys make so much money by wasting it like this article states?
My personal experience with the Pentagon, the Hoffman Building (Army Personnel) and National Guard Bureau is: "if MS makes anything remotely like what you need we will buy MS". It amazes me that I have been told that Apache is not acceptable because it is free, so use IIS.
Anyway, you should all think the above statements are increadibly senseless, that just accentuates my old frustration. Bottom line, MS need not waste money on a sales crew for the Pentagon, the people in the building are beating down microsoft.com to purchase IIS and MS SQL crap with their government credit cards.

I have worked for the same Defense Contractor in the DC area since 1994. Graduated then with a BS Finance and some low level military experience (well, I did work in a Major Subordinate Command as a Captain for a while as a Reservist).
Anyway, this part will be easier now than it was in 1994:
1. Get classifieds from newspapers (or search web classified of newspapers) in the regions that you think there may be work or where you want to move to. I graduated from utk.edu and there was not much in town, so I got the sunday Washington Post every tues or so and copied the fax and e-mail addresses for every defense related job I could find, then sent resume and cover letter to each. Not many back then, but at least this breaks you away from the monster.com masses today too.
2. Always tell them you will be in the area for a couple of days the following week, i.e., if you send to Chicago today say you will be there Tues - Thurs next week. This gets you past many of the "out of town apps" that get trashed, also, since you are responding to the newspaper ad it gives the illusion that you actually give a crap about that city;-)
3. When you start getting responses, plan your travel to do several interviews at once. If you get one interview in Chicago this week, but 2 in NYC next week and another in Chicago the week after, try to get one of the Chicago ones moved.
May not help, but I hope it does. Sofar what I have seen on this article is "I don't have a cert and you don't either" or "I have a cert and so do you". Seems you have a good enough education, just need to use a different guerilla method to get some interviews.
BTW, you ARE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY and leave every possible way to contact you that you know of (your phone, parents, cell, fax (I know but they are still in use), e-mail, snail mail, EVERYTHING!
Don't forget, the taxes were already paid on these funds when earned. Mr. Cox, and many others like him, just want taxation to be a revolving door for corporations.
Unfortunately Communists, Socialists and Facists just can not understand your points, nor do they understand that the above 3 groups are shades of the same cloth.
I have also noticed that they assume Capitalists, like me, automatically support state imposed death penalties, gun bans and recreational drug banning and keep trying to argue about how wrong these laws are, no matter how much anybody agrees that these laws are wrong too (except for the guns, they disagree there but what's the difference? they disagree for agreeing with them on other issues).
The best we can do is state our case(s) and let others judge the views, let the anti-freedom forces whither away like North Korea and Cuba.
I understand all you are saying as true, however I *think* Toys R Us sucessfully did this for quite some time, at least in the 90's when I got my Finance Degree.
As far as the other example of anti-trust nonsense from the auto industry: the Big Three kept AMC afloat for quite some time just so there would be enough "players" in their industry to keep the anti-trust facists (yes, facist is the right word for when government makes industry a tool of the welfare state) away.
Why pray do you need a commercial DVD to DVD copier.
I would like a personal one, but it is not a question of need. It is a question of US government's (intended-to-be) limited powers and authority. Not sure where any level of government was granted the power to restrict whatever I want to manufacture, within reasonible limits of the Commerce Clause and Copyright and Trademark powers of the government. Beyond that, my wants are none of their business. Wanting to be able to make my own DVDs and copy them falls within my business and nobody elses.
Hummm, just noticed this is my second response to one of your comments and never realized before that we disagree this much! Cheers and good luck with your efforts!
Apparently your opinion ignores the market, proper application of your refrences and reality.
Plenty of other firms have been doing this for years, legally, especially firms in wildly cyclitical industries, like Microsoft. Any Finance 201 student, instructor or Professor can and will tell you that.
Plenty of other real issues with that company, but this failure to pay dividends nonsense is not one of them.

Then you realize the hydrogen you buy is synthetised from natural gaz.
LOL, no *I* realize that my hydrogen is distilled form petroleum. All new vehicles burn it clean and it works.

Ahem, I use a Quantum dialup connection with instantanious unlimited bandwidth communications to the Illuminati.
Check with Dr. Erich von Daniken for technical details.
Yep, that is a long winded way of saying what I was illustrating ;-)
The Congress moved swiftly to a joint emergency session!
Topic: "circumvention device" registration and licensing to protect the children.
I am not buying it anymore. And I think the general business world isn't going to buy it much longer.
We will continue to have incompetant management as long as we continue to have music majors getting MBAs.
