Where I live on Long Island,NY, the transit authority has a joint venture with the power company to supply these cars to Long Island Railroad commuters (about 200 are in the program so far, IIRC).
How am i going to charge it in my parking lot at work? at my dorm? Under a pilot program like the one I described, the lessee of the Think car gets a reserved space at his or her Long Island Railroad (LIRR) station with a charger available. There is also a home charger for use on overnights.
Lack of speed. When I need to merge, I need to get up and GO damn it. Granted, I would never take one of these on the highways either. For short trips around town to run errands, just to go to the railroad station, etc., these will fill that niche. Save the gas car for longer trips.
While the Think car is impractical for long haul trips or any sort of aggressive driving, frequent, local stops that guzzle gas would be eliminated.
They look at me like I'm crazy, "Now why would I need to go so much faster? And doesn't that cost a whole lot?" It's like, you just want to bang your head against the wall
Simply put, most folks won't buy something that they have no need for. People who do P2P a lot might, but the check email and Amazon people you describe do not.
A company seeking to sue a researcher could argue that the DMCA covers such an act, as eight movie studios did when successfully suing the magazine 2600 for distributing a DVD-descrambling utility.
Wow, I must have missed that special issue of 2600 where they included the AOL CD-DeCSS combo CD-ROM.
I take issue with this because:
* 2600 merely published the source code to DeCSS. This is radically different from distributing a binary. The source is only a recipe, not the entire meal.
* The website only linked to where it was hosted and mirrored. The source was never available on the site itself, IIRC.
A bit of fact-checking wouldn't have hurt the author in this regard.
This could be useful in the sweatshops where you have children and workers at the very same time! They'll never run off after their smoke breaks again.
With a few hidden keystrokes, the robot can turn its sprayer full blast on the comely female interns while chanting "Girls Gone Wild, Girls Gone Wild...."
I got these stupid e-mails too, but they wouldn't release the address of your so-called crush until you furnish them with e-mail address after e-mail address.
Instead of putting down bogus addresses, I submitted every abuse@{$insert ISP here} address and anti-spam address that I could think of. That'll give them something to think about.
Or, as Robert Schmitt, another transit electrical official, put it, excitedly: "They're sitting here, saying: `Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me!'
From the Article, emphasis mine: "It's definitely of the giant squid group, which is exciting enough," the museum's senior curator of Zoology, David Pemberton said in the ABC report.
Editors Note: David Pemberton is an associate professor at the Royal Academy of Really Obvious Facts. His new book Kitty Cats Go Meow is due out in the fall.
I was able to catch that when I arrived and it was excellent. They delved mostly into their area of expertise: architecture. Mostly of the Hotel and old Penn Station.
They showed photos from ground zero of debris and Johns commentary on it (from a helicopter they charter themselves).
Debra went on to tell the audience that John was detained for taking pictures on the site and wryly pointed out that they made him delete the photos from his digital camera. Those very same photos were recovered with the assistance of the Cypherpunks newsgroup and used in the presentation. Needless to say, the crowd burst into applause at that revelation.

Cut him some slack! At least the guy who shot Reagan got to meet Jody Foster...
Oh wait, scratch that.

dialing, that is. If voicemail passwords are any indication, the remote access pword shouldn't be too hard.
"You can track sales remotely by dialing the machine's computer to find out exactly what's left of each item,"
Someones going to have a ton of fun with this feature.
How exactly would medical records relate in any way, shape, or form to student loans?
when followers bring in doctors notes testifying to their "midichlorian count".
When you got your oil changed last, did you take the engine apart to make sure that your mechanic didn't put a rabbit in there?
**Opens hood of car**
I thought the engine was making a strange sound....
IIRC, the DSLAM and other relevant gear was stored in a barn. How do you keep the animals from messing with it?

If I didn't leash my laptop, it would probably run off and tear up my neigbors garden. At least they don't make me pick up after it.
While Cmdrtaco is hanging with the TechTV people, I would be greatly disappointed if he didn't try to get Megan Morrone to do an interview.

Don't let this guy get his hands on this.
the token annoying Japanese kid in tight shorts will be on hand to testify....
Probably not, his dubbing would be unbearable.
My best recipe so far is two gallons of chili made in a big slow-cooker. Do you have any other suggestions?
I have a suggestion: Lots of this stuff.
Others speculate that technology will evolve to the point that a brain can be uploaded to a computer where consciousness will exist digitally.
Eons of human progress later and I'll still wind up back on Slashdot?

Damn, there goes my excuse to put animal crackers down Liv Tylers pants.

Ok, this guy needs to get laid. Now.

I think the biggest question for widespread use of these things, on a commodity level rather than an appliance level (toilet paper, not PDAs)
Toilet paper! I could wipe my ass with that damn Dell kid:
"Dude, you're getting my feces! **wipe wipe**
