I remember an article in IIRC Popular Mechanics about an electric car that someone was developing. Electric motors powered the rear wheels, and in order to recharge the batteries, alternators were attached to the front wheels (attached full time). They currently had two alternators attached, but that wasn't having enough effect on re-powering the car, so they were going to try adding two or four more.
For some reason, I haven't heard about this company lately.
As long as you're not a criminal, you don't have to worry about it too much. The government can't take your stuff away and sell it unless you cause them to by, for example, mailing bombs to innocent victims.
Its already been decided by the courts, that if a state wants to sell your property to a mall developer, they can seize it from you and you can do nothing about it. So why would you think that the federal government would grant themselves less power?
I tried to look up the Democrats version of this site, but all I could find was a list of hotels in neighboring states, and a link to the song "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to".
We all know what REALLY happened. The Martians got pissed of with us exporting our SUV's and causing Global Warming on their planet, so they took baseball bats to it. Remember, only humans can cause Global Warming; not Martians, not the Sun, nothing else is possible!
Acording to the numerous news reports and Al Gore movies, Global Warming causes:
1. An increase in temperature. 2. A decrease in temperature. 3. An increase in the hurricane frequency. 4. A decrease in the hurricane frequency. 5. More Earthquakes. 6. Fewer earthquakes. 7. A decrease in precipitation. 8. A increase in precipitation....
Ok, now try to prove that Global Warming doesn't exist. You can't, because if anything happens, or doesn't happen, it's bercause of Globsal Warming.
By definition, an increase in the temperature is Global Warming. Global Warming is only caused by Greenhouse Gases (don't you dare to claim otherwise, or the AGW folks will have you drawn and quartered). Greenhouse Gases are created only by man, and mostly by SUV's (again, see the AGW folks). Therefore, the Japan Quake was caused by SUV's.
With Obamacare in effect, they will probably recommend aspirin instead of any kind of hand. Use the cheapest solution so that government funds will be available where they are most wanted, like buying pictures of Jesus statues in bottles of urine.
Not many people I know lick their fingers and jam them in the socket when they change the bulb. IF you cant avoid that temptation when you change your light bulbs, I suggest hiring a helper to make sure you can keep your fingers away from the contacts.
We used to have an electric fence when I was young (to keep in the cows). Many people got a thrill by touching what they knew to be electrified, and many many grasshoppers were sacrificed to that fence to watch their legs pop off. If they were willingly touching something designed to shock their ass off, why would you think that they would respect a puny light socket?
Anyway, changing a light bulb should not require sticking your fingers into the socket if you are doing it right. If you're doing it wrong, then think of it as evolution in action.
If they're trying to save money, they're looking in the wrong place. $76 million is a pittance. It's 1% of TSA's budget and.002% of the overall budget..
And, when you consider the number of terrorists they've caught with them, you can calculate the reasonable cost per terrorist caught to determine how economical these are for each terrorist captured: OK, $75,000,000 divided by 0 terrorists cost = *%^# stupid calculator must not be working right, keeps coming up with some weird error message.
They blanket ban these things because they don't trust their employees to be intelligent enough to recognize the difference between a dangerous weapon and a bottle of shampoo or Coke.
Actually, either could make a handy weapon...
Yes, haven't everyone ever got Coke in your eyes when they are showering? Think what a terrorist could do with that! That's why we need "No More Tears Baby Coke"!
Anything that is ATOMIC is likely to explode and kill us all, according to all the news reports. If these become cheap, we are going to be seeing cities blowing up on a daily basis! They had to get rid of the Nuclear part of MRI machines to avoid this same situation.
Car analogy. If someone swipes your car, and uses it to rob a bank, and steals the radio out of it, you should be sent to prison for the robbery unless YOU can prove who the actual robbers were.
Shouldn't you be responsible for your car security too?
If you've watched any of the GW movies, you should already know that Global Warming will make it much colder, which should increase the distance achieved greatly, as well as releasing the wolves.
Sorry, but the GW scientists have proven that the Sun has no part in the global temperature. They used the latest GW scientific method: they took a vote and got a consensus!

Ok, they talk about how they tell how round it is, but why don't they tell us how they know electrons are red?
Don't worry, we have Skynet to protect us from these things.
I hate Seattle zombies.
They always want their brains to be frappied or run through a cat first.
Will a zombie choose a brain-in-a-tin-can over one in a crunchy-chewey skull?

How is climate change complicated?

Maybe you should measure it in terms of "Library of Congress". Maybe Volkswagons. There's always hail. Or some other scientific terms like these.
warmed the planet to such a degree that the atmosphere was destroyed and the water then evaporated into space.
Or, as the plot of too many science fiction movies follow, aliens came and stole all the water.

But, what do you do when the power goes out? How will you be able to turn on/off your lights then?

But, sandbags don't keep sneaking off for a quick beer.
Japan, like most of those ranting against Sony in these forums, is just waiting for free hookers and blow. And unicorns, no unicorns - no forgiveness.
Remember all those old TV shows where a group of people got together and sychronized their watches?
Ok, set your watch .... now! ... Hold it, Jimmy is 3 picoseconds fast! We have to do it again!
Is she a non-wax based polish? The wax based ones always seem to leave a build-up that's hard to remove.
