You will be paying far less to do so though. Insurance can be very cheap if you agree to a very low milage. Fuel with stabilizer added can last for a very long time and with no wear and tear the car will never need any real maintenance.
No need to force them. Gas prices will do that all on their own. What we do need is mass transit for the people already living in areas where it makes sense, which is most people already.
Less than 1% of the US population is involved in agriculture in an on the farm occupation. The people who don't want to live in the city can just deal with $5/gal and eventually $10/gal prices.
No, it is an active choice to spend more money subsidizing roads then building mass transit. If for instance big rigs had to pay for the road damage they do, all freight would go back to rail.
So genocide is a relatively small thing? Google Holodomor. 2+ million people died, at the very least. The state prevented food aid from reaching these people. Even the US govt recognizes this as an act of genocide.
You don't know about the North Korean Famine? The "Arduous March" is not something you are familier with, but you think we should take your opinion seriously?
Stalin used famine to crush those who opposed him. He caused one! Holodomor not ringing a fucking bell for you?
North Korea saw true famine in the 90s, it only made their people more sure that the west was the evil empire. Famine only proves to the people of North Korea that we are their enemies and only the Kims are keeping them alive.
FTFA: As far as the breathalyzer required by French authorities, a US$2.00 disposable item will be acceptable, but already everyone is being encouraged to buy such items in pairs so that one can be used to test, or for a friend to use, and still to have the required one to drive home with.
If you can afford fuel you can afford a $2 breathalyzer.
The Euro is worthless and you think the Yuan is a replacement?
Are you trolling or stupid? The Yuan is devalued on purpose and it will stay that way. China's economy would crater if the Yuan was allowed to naturally raise in value. Right now you can get 8.5 yuan to the Euro. You could also get 1.3 USD for your Euro.
I take it you never vacation? Or always stay in the country?
Every year it has become more and more of a hassle to get a reasonable amount of cash when I go on vacation. We need to bring back the $500 bill instead of getting rid of $100s. I would rather not have to carry a suitcase full of money through the airport. Nor do I want to pay 3% on top of every purchase when I am overseas.
Only if it helps you. The money we would spend on such a team to keep a fork would cost us more than the value of those bug fixes. What we have is called first mover advantage. We get these fixes first, but we don't have to continually pay to keep them alive.

Yet, most of us live on the coasts. Even big coastal cities have shitty mass transit in the USA.
I am not contesting any of that, only the GPs claim that starvation would change anything. Also his absurd claim that Stalin feared famine.
For a great example of what you are talking about see Haiti. They now depend on rice from the USA. As little as 20 years ago that was not the case.

Famine is not new to North Korea, it will not topple their regime.

Slashdot is not one person, there are many people with many ideas. I think all application stores should allow adult applications.
For the same reason you have to have a horn and seat belt and all that other crap in your car. Because some people will use it.
When you visit a country, you are ruled by its laws. That has always been the case and will be with this as well.
Oh noes teh $2 breathalyzer! Such an infringement of your rights. Next they will demand you have a working horn and maybe even some road flares.

Where do you live?
Around here a really cheap beer is $3, normal $4, fancy pants $6-$10.
Go to real bank, one that a friend or relation has an account with. Give them the money and let them exchange it with little to no fees.
Bullshit.
Look at places where this has actually happend. Zimbabwe for instance. They use some other kind of normal paper currency.
A dollar might get you 3 eggs and a gold ring would get you the same. Convertible currency is worth more under those conditions than gold or silver.
I don't want to pay the fees. My Visa cards adds 3% to the rate. I would not call that good either.

Your bartender must hate you.
At least get some 50 cent pieces, better yet dollar coins.

Which has nothing to do with my point.
Congratulations on talking around it.
After the switchover why keep paying me when you could get two MS monkeys for that kind of dough?
That would not be smart business.

Read the kick starter page, you are buying the game a head of time and getting other features.
They are using steam, so that will be the DRM.
Post a link, or better yet put it up on desura for alpha funding.
