No, the Baddie drives a Jag, Bond drives an Aston - lucky bastard, how many other people get a company car that costs £180,000 ($285,000) BEFORE modification!
Both the Z3 in Goldeneye and the Z8 in The World is not Enough were used to launch the new models for BMW. The first Aston in Goldfinger caused sales of the DB5 to rocket. Product placement works, and dosen't have to be in-your-face.
It's just the same in England, although with the £1100 p.a. fees. They also want to bring in these extra 'top-up' fees. I managed to earn 1/3 of my entire year's budget working for 3 months over the summer at £5 per hour. I now try to pay cash as much as possible as well.

Then there's the %50 fee on gas, that you never see because its built into the price- but is all tax. A brilliant deception because people all over hate oil companies for charging so much for gas, even though they aren't!
Fuel is still dirt cheap in the US though - over here in the UK we pay over £0.70 (around $1) per litre for petrol, most of which goes to the government, with the retailer (petrol station) getting around £0.03/litre, and the oil company getting around £0.25, I think.
The Earth's magnetic poles are actually the wrong way round at the moment - the noth pole is magnetic south. The only difference will be that the red end of the compass needle will point south, and anything else that depends on the earth's magnetic field will get confused.
Why don't they just start selling CD-Rs instead - these 'statistics' show that CD-R sales are rising, and if there's nothing on the CD, it can't be copied!

There is one manufacturer here in the UK who still glue things together - it's damn annoying trying to change a drive and finding both the power and data cables have been glued in (with hot-melt glue)!

For a start it's Bond, not Bonde.
Can Bonde beat that? I think not -- he is British not an American. Go figure.
That'll be why you Americans release poor imitation movies such as xXx then.

Simple.

The actual letter is from EMI
I doubt it would deal with ice very well though, so it'd only work during the summer.
It's Amphibious - you drive on top the ice until it breaks, then the shark turns into a boat. Simple.

Microsoft Word! Have you not seen the state of their grammar checker, it's much worse than slashdot's - it told me audios was a word!
don't you think that might be why manufacturers are less keen on longer warranties now?
