Ha! Love that. Basically he is saying that yes, he does see a need for a larger car. But he'll let other people take care of that for him. I'm sure they are all just totally happy to provide practicality for him while he buys fun cars. Wish he were my friend. Guess they like the role of driving miss daisey.
Cars are not bought and sold solely on whether they make the most economic sense. GM has done a lot of research on the salability of the Volt. When you mass produce a car you need to include as large a cross section of the population as possible. In the end it was decided that making a more complex/expensive vehicle that is marketable to a larger percentage of the population won. In the end its all about volume. The lower the mileage, the more people you exclude from really considering your product. That makes it rather hard to sell large volumes. Now it could possibly be that they are wrong in their decision. But it doesn't mean they were stupid in their decision making process.
This is why you don't see very many diesels in the US. For the most part any state that follows CA emissions won't sell them. That's a massive portion of the population that you take right out of the equation of possible buyers. The result, cars like the Jeep Liberty Diesel were practically DOA and too expensive to produce because of almost guaranteed low volume sales.
For one thing you could try taking a shower and finding some friends. You have never had the desire to fit more than 1 other person in your car? That is just plain sad. Really.
Not that its still not shoddy, but this report seems to imply that version 1.18.19 was still being used in the 2008 elections. The current version seems to be 1.18.24 and has been out since Oct 2007. Not realy easy to tell whats been addressed, but it at least seems to imply in a few of the release notes that it corrects previously recorded software defects.
What happens to all these internet sites when reality finally sets in and its realized that for the most part internet advertising is over valued. At some point advertisers will have to cut back on marketing that is over priced and in my opinion largely inaffective. Just like Chrysler cancelled their advertising campaign with Tiger, and BoA won't be the name of the new Yankee Stadium. Nobody bought a Chrysler who wouldn't have already bought one just because tiger is seen in a commercial driving one. Certainly not enough extra profit can be tied to him to justify his contract.
Oh, now I see! What we really need and just about everyone would support is the Jenny Craig stimulus! We could lump it under "beach beautifcation" or something.
How about stimulating jobs that actually produce something that others might want? Oh wait, we don't do that anymore so the best we can do is deficit spend and divy out the money to a bunch of service industries. Might as well just allocate $500 million for the waitresses and valets parking stimulus.
They gave their lives only to become a nation of dudes with man purses. If they only knew before. Or maybe they saw it coming and decided death was better.
Actually, the summary doesn't do a very good job because the cost savings probably aren't really there. At $360 a pop you are talking probably over a year before you save anything as only a portion of each papers sale could be put towards the endeavor. On top of that you have to somehow come up with the money to buy all these things. Reality means a massive loan (Which who would loan the Times a dime on such a crazy idea in this day?). A loan means interest, there goes your cost savings.
Now if you assumed everyone already had a kindle and just had to change delivery that's another story. Not too likely though, especially for the Times which sells all over the world.
I guess it depends on your definition of large, but many large business have a policy of not doing references. Typically for just this reason. References can be a slippery slope to go down if things are said out of spite. And besides, no matter who you are, a month after you leave they'll have forgotten about you. You aren't nearly as important as you think you are. Not being personal, just reality. There's a saying that is pretty true, 'The cemetery is full of irreplacable people.'
I believe what they meant was that those were where the remote hosts that hacked the site were. Along with one from Harvard. But still, the summary is so full of paranoia and hype its almost sickening. This seems to be nothing more than a front page being changed to redirect to a new destination. Hardly anything to get your panties in a twist.

Bet you can't even play Crysis on it.
Like getting arrested, or run over by a tank, or being re-educated.
Exactly. When I can drive to a store, buy it and be back in an hour, yet it takes 3 days to download its kind of a no brainer.
At least from the summary (can't get to utube from work) this seems like its probably powered just like a regular one, yet directed by the rodent.
That's why the first thing you do is shoot your date in the head unless she wants to go to the strip club.

Please don't try to explain the behavior of an actual language with SQL. Its demeaning.

I think he was refering to his wife's ass though.

Gasp, you mean like lawyers do?

It's all about pink now. Much to DMX's chagrin.
And the grease on the top of the stair well was just coincidence too. Or was it the clothes hanger taped to the front of her chair.

Haha. Social capital. WTF! Good lord we all take ourselves too seriously.
Then I'm not impressed.
