Hey, a fuel-cell car! Great! I mean, it took years on a shoestring research budget, but hey! It helps the environment! Woohoo! Never mind the fact that these cars still use gasoline and will still put out CO2 into the atmosphere! The corporations tell us it saves the environment, so it must be OK! Never mind that by getting the hydrogen from gasoline instead of water (which would produce no pollutants), we're still polluting the environment and putting more money into the hands of Big Oil! It's a neat little car!!!
Here's a great idea (IMNSHO, at least...Libertarians, Republicans, Steven Richards, and Dubya might disagree with this one): Since no business on Earth can possibly hope to remain in business with a free ISP, why don't we use some of that big ol' budget surplus to make a government-subsidized free ISP? I mean, think about it...it would eliminate banner ads, companies going out of business, and business mergers/buyouts at the same time! True, there might be some issue with time limitations, but you get what you pay for...
Since it's a great idea, it will probably never happen, but isn't it fun to dream?
*shrugs* It's been done.

This is already being done right now for the PS1...a Russian group called Runix has a PS1 version of Linux in the alpha stages. The beta version comes out in July.
