Perhaps; perhaps not. It doesn't say "Internal combustion engine-powered vehicle", necessarily. In fact, dictionary.com states that a motor is
1. Something, such as a machine or an engine, that produces or imparts motion.
2. A device that converts any form of energy into mechanical energy, especially an internal-combustion engine or an arrangement of coils and magnets that converts electric current into mechanical power.
So, in theory, a cow could indeed be considered a "motor", abeit a rather unorthodox one, and certainly not one that runs on combustion. But it has input, and output, and processing; it converts energy (food) into mechanical energy (moo. walk. moo.).
However, it does not have wheels, and therefore does not fit the definition of a "motor vehicle", which is specifically designated as having wheels.
Until the consortium for the DRMed video interface previously mentioned on slashdot manages to screw us permanently, the signal will always be available...
(1) I can't disagree much with the mall part, but...
I actually -live- in a fairly isolated part of the South, and dear -god-, that is the stuff of annoying television shows. (Oh, and Alabama, but they don't count). That sort of annoyance only resides in places like Opp, Paxton, Ensley, Florala, Red Level, and Florabama.
Ever heard of 'em? Nope. It's because they still don't have cell phone service. And don't have malls.
-grumbles about people making Southerners out to be 100% backwards, useless, stupid, annoying people, when we're actually only about 75% backwards-
I dunno; OpenOffice.org works for me. It does everything I need, without alienating me with drastically new features. It also has the added bonus of not needing to be installed on a win32 system. That means I can load it at work (SC Kiosks, the sam's club wireless kiosk, a Wholly Pwned Subsidiary of Radioshack) without tripping any of the windows policy restrictions.
I impressed my district and regional managers with a few spreadsheets and documents I put out with OO.org (2.0), and showed 'em what happens when they give productive people useful tools.
I count Open Office (at least, version 2, which is LIGHTYEARS in usability ahead of 1) as a very useful tool.
Did someone's mommy take away their Superman comics when they were bad, hmmmmn?
No, seriously. The idea of a superhero isn't just limited to the pages of 25 cent comics books ripped off time and time again to make, "Superboy! AND HIS DOG!! Furiously battle BAT-BOY!!" out of dead trees for people who have nothing better to do.
Occasionally, heroes of any sort are inspiring - even if they are totally fictional. Some of us get a rise out of Good winning, or the fantasy (even if it only lasts for ~2-3 hours) that there's a near-supernatural force in the world working against evil and keeping us safe.

Not that I disgree.. +5 is just fine... ..but +5 WHAT? Apparently you just post at +5 :\
Well, they DO sorta run the country and stuff.
Chants which translate to "Penis, anus, defecation!" were commonplace.
Would such protests work in American record stores, for instance?
No; the RIAA would sue them for copyright infringement.
I'm sure it wasn't that bad when the NAZIs started...
Godwin alert! Godwin alert!
Sometimes it takes 10 or more clicks to find the real source of information posted about in blogs.
...which was in the Google News headlines I checked before getting to my Slashdot fix. Yeah, I know.
This is Slashdot. What do you think passes for community standards here? :D
*LIGHTNINGBOLT!*

Obviously, IANAL.
!ping! Godwin alert!
I wish it -would-. You have no idea how hard it is to find decent Russian Farmgirl / Whipped Cream / BDSM / Warcraft porn these days.
Twice, no less.
What the hell browser DO you use?! Even LYNX is supported by Google, for crying out loud!
No, no! Don't you see?? This is all part of the plan! This way, SCO has ZERO overhead!
*holds stomach* I don't feel so good.
Gimmie a minute, would ya??
You, sir, are an evil bastard.
NEWS FLASH!!! Big rock hits another rock full of dust! DUST CLOUD RESULTS!!!! /panic

Dude. You can't stop the signal. You know that.
See, now, you're on Slashdot, so the odds of you giving me the name of one cute girl, REGARDLESS, are a little slim.
;)
Plus, I wouldn't know what to do with it.
My favorite thing about Slashdot is that the article summaries are so objective.
I can't begin to imagine why.
No, no; Orwell is definitely late. As in, the late dentarthurdent late.

Just a thought.
Suggestion: A firearm, and a ammocan with ammo in it. Just a thought, considering NOLA.
good idea.
