It only lessens the blow. I personally use a motorcycle to lessen the blow, and I get 50 MPG nearly all of the time. There are other options, and always have been. What I'm seeing in the market is simply a shfit of focus, with the same (or more) funds being fed into the entire system. Saving gas with a hybrid? your paying more for the car, and the battery change later Saving by not using a hybrid? your paying for gasoline, and any taxations that will increase on it in the future Saving by going pure electric? The electric price will increase proportionally once more rely upon the grid, and the price of the vehicle is extraordinarily high.
Your putting money out one way or another, it's just in a different way, and if you play your cards right you could make the wrong decision and put out a larger dose.
That hand would drive the hybrid down, since supply would be higher than demand in that case, and would intrinsically repair itself by lowering, or disappearing completely. On the other hand, if the standard civic was being purchased beyond expectations, the price would rise in said market to hinder supply line shortage.
See, this just doesn't work, it's only good on paper and not in the "free" market. How it works right now is this: * new technology = highly expensive at first * standard civic = highly expensive still, but within boundaries, and has existed for long enough to form a "bond" with society * hybrid civic = is still milking the consumer until competition appears which must force the price to migrate competitively * new technology will re-appear to enhance the battery or even go pure electric easily, repeating this cycle.
Of course you replace standard civic and hybrid civic with the old and new technology names. It's a lot like a processor, where a new 12-core will in no way offset the cost of dual 6 cores, or just dealing with what you have since it's never fully utilized by most people.
Unfortunately I did... On dvd, not in the theatre. It was completely in the face of logic and common sense and hurt to watch scientifically. It was a good special effects bang-boom movie, though. Scary thing is, some people watched it and thought it was a documentary...
Sure, why not. The next time there's a coronal mass ejection, power them all down and wait in the data center until the emergency radio says it's over.
a pool is not a rich mans toy... they aren't *that* expensive, there are many houses well within the $100-200K range around me that have pools. As far as pool maintenance, that has nothing to do with permits. Once it's in the books, it's not on some HP Openview in the city office while they're monitoring your pool water quality. The way that works is if the neighbor feels their yard being inundated with mosquitoes they contact the city. They come out, and fine the person if they find the water has not been maintained, then they make sure a shock treatment is applied to the water to neutralize lifeforms and to bring the water back into a stable range. I know this because I have studied it when buying a house when I owned one, and also my neighbor decided not to maintain a pool and mosquitoes were hitting my yard, hard. A phone call and a week later, everything was back to normal.
If it's not increasing taxes, how's it "paying their fair share". This is without the permit in the picture since that covers the inspection and city updates of documentation. The latter being to make sure that taxation is increased accordingly.
If you throw a wing onto your house, it would raise the square footage of the taxed house which would raise said taxes. The permit is two fold: to make sure electrical and construction is done according to safety standards, and to document increases in property value. Since the right way to cover the first part is to charge each person with an inspector coming to the location to inspect and catch any discrepancies, and it didn't go that way, you can only guess what the agenda is.
I have no problem with Google Earth being used in this way - it's public information.
Like 5+ year old information, most times. What if I bought a house a year ago, and that gaping hole of a pools been filled in before I bought it? It's not as if google earth is in any way shape or form realtime. I mean, the house I sold in January shows the backyard of 2 owners ago on Google Earth.
Piling up barrels haphazardly into an area where ground water flows in and out is monumentally stupid.
The Yucca mountain facility is not a waste containment center, it's a radiation containment facility that holds the items through their decomposition period.
While I believe it to be a monumentally expensive endeavor and positively way too "modern marvel"''ish, I figured I'd clear that up since the whole water running thing came into play.
Carry on.
Our power distribution is entirely based on increasing PRODUCTION to meet demand, not STORING energy to offset future demand spikes
Our power distribution currently is a power distribution system alone and has nothing to do with how the energy is made. It's a delivery system, alone. You could have a single monolithic battery with all the energy in the galaxy within it, all plugged into the distribution system and it'd to the same thing... distribute. Dead bodies being thrown into a furnace to power a turbine would be just as effective, but you don't see people piling up with that... take nuclear and replace it with any other object that makes water hot to spin a turbine and you have the same damned thing. Ecologically the creation method is healthier, but solar is never to be discounted since it's inevitably ecologically free energy. In other words, don't be a douche.
Like a nuclear reactor You can name ANY large central system... it's the base idea of a large central system...
And who the hell signs posts when you're already logged in? Please stop this retardation. I bet you're the guy at Rock Band parties that complains about how people hold the guitar.
Pssst... you pointed out Apple apps.. Just thought I'd let you know before someone else notices and you can do something about it... the GP was referring to Mozilla addon collection, not Apple which only looks at the coolness factor.
No, it's not true. It's only that no one looks out for those things on winmobile. With as many free apps that change your wallpaper, etc, for winmo you can believe it's rife with it the same. It's amazing that anyone would think it doesn't happen...
Yes, their entire culture was all documented and inserted into the pyramids. Or at least the rich people did. Along with a couple of poor saps who were building the final parts of the pharaohs tomb and was closed in lol
It's all accidental culture preservation unfortunately. Their entire life was the belief that the time on earth was torture before reaching the other side with the gods....
We just need to properly preserve the Mayan calendar so the generation alive 100 billion years from now (in whatever species that is sentient...) can dig it up and ponder how much more intelligent our people were and how we knew that the destruction of all life on this planet was cyclical and predetermined! For once the Mayan calendar would be correct within a couple thousand years;)
The Vectrex ran $200, while Atari ran $120. Games were abound for cheap on the Atari, and you knew you could easily go to Sears/JC Penney/Zaires/or any local game store and find a new game to play.
Sure, I bet it was an awesome system, and ran the games it had rather nicely. People who are gamers historical "aficionados" will swoon over it. It's a niche market.

What's a checkbook?
What's a check?
Lifespan and torque are in the equation as well.
Hemi was never considered a good engine, it was just considered unique and an "icon" now.
Luckily, not many people follow UK standards.
We don't follow anything like that though, so.....

No it wasn't, that was a couple days ago.
Sure, why not.

Only one way to find out.. Look up :)

Watch it, there will be a tax on any complaints about taxation soon... ;)
You know, for regulatory commission investigation

They reprocess them into depleted uranium shells
