802.11 (at least the newer flavours) has the capability of changing its transmitting power, as does Bluetooth, the other wireless standard being employed.
Data radios in gadgets usually ramp up their power if the signal they receive from whatever they are connecting to is very weak, causing massive battery drain. That's why a cellphone in a busy city (with a strong signal from the many close cell towers) will last considerably longer than a phone in an area with very weak service. I guess if they fit their antennas in a sensible manner (ie not blocking the signal with chunks of metal and lots of leaky wires), they'll be able to bathe the inside of the cabin with sweet, sweet radio waves, allowing all the devices in the car to essentially whisper to each other.
Michelle Malkin? Really? She's all kinds of fucked-up in the head. She's so full of hate I'm surprised she doesn't stab herself in the face when she looks in the mirror.
You have to remember that Obama can't change the current situation too much, even if he wanted to. He is still an American president, after all, and there are some things so deeply engrained in the US common psyche, across great swathes of the center of the political spectrum, that any attempt to change would result in the president being removed from office as humanly possible. Foreign policy and the military are two of those. The US, as long as it is capable of doing so, will always be the asshole bully of the world. It will always be drenched in hypocrisy, as it actively seeks to undermine democracies in order to further its own goals while simultaneously worshipping democracy at home like Jesus, and so on and so forth. It's the way of the world - superpowers are superassholes. It's been that way forever, and I doubt it will change.
Because this takes seconds, and due to it being encrypted on the disk, as soon as the key is gone there is absolutely no way to recover the data, even if a new technique is discovered or some secret technique already exists. The examples in the article (I know, I know) make sense - a good example is printers/copiers frequently that use hard disks, and as such will contain lots of potentially-confidential information. Having one of these drives in there means after a power cycle, the previous contents of the drive will be unreadable.
But what if that which endangers those civilians leads to a faster resolution? It seems like they want people to realise how retarded the war in Afghanistan is, and erode as much support for it as possible, in order to shorten it. Foreign troops stationed around the world in Muslim countries offends most of Islam, especially the troops in Saudi Arabia. Muslims tend to identify strongly with each other, regardless of which country they are in (unless they are in destabilised regions suffering from conflict between sects), so those troops in Muslim countries is a fantastic recruitment tool. Absolutely perfect, in fact. It gives the extremists a reason to be angry, and hundreds of thousands of soft squishy targets to try to hurt.
So Wikileaks should cover up all the straight-up murdering our forces is doing, costing far more lives than will ever be on a Taliban "hit list"? If the Pentagon had just played ball, then they would have minimised the damage to their own assets. Fuck 'em. They caused this whole mess in the first place.
There is more than one way to skin a cat. War wasn't the only option on the table. It is possible to be on the side of the west while condemning its actions. This is not a school playground full of little girls screaming about Team Edward vs. Team Jacob.
Wow. Are you really that retarded that you don't even read newspapers any more? You can't opt out of the welfare state because you benefit form it even if they don't cut you a check every other week. No man is an island, even though some think they are. The only ways to opt out of the welfare state is to leave the fucking state entirely, or try to convince more mouth-breathing retards like yourself to vote yourselves back into the 19th century and abolish it. Christ some people are so fucking retarded it makes one wonder how they are still alive. How did you manage to get on to/. without choking on your keyboard or knocking yourself unconscious with a monitor? Incredible.
One of the reasons for that is a buffer between the market prices and the price at the pump. If the taxes are lower, people can very quickly find themselves screwed at the pump if the price per barrel increases (as we saw when they did just that). If there is suitable taxation involved, then the price at the pump can be managed by the government, keeping industry ticking over and people able to go to their jobs. Also, the taxes go towards cleaning up after the pollutants that are inevitably released by burning tonnes of fossil fuel in the middle of population centers.
It would make far more sense to consolidate all those emissions into one place, say a power plant, and then run the energy off to where it's needed via some sort of long-distance electrical distribution network. Oh, and lots of the output from exhaust isn't exactly great on everything else around it, even if plants (as you claim) thrive on the stuff.
We don't have those going long-distance, and we don't have them covering multiple lanes of traffic. The batteries, though, are indeed a problem. Once we can get energy density up, and weight & price down, we'll be laughing. Until then it's still a case of the early-adopters footing the bill for the rest of humanity.
Judging by the rest of your posts I've seen, you're just being (as usual) a selfish bastard. Hybrids are not just about saving money, but about getting human motoring to be in a state that is sustainable. Currently, it is not. But I'm sure you can find some reason to bitch and moan, and probably throw in some retarded Amiga fanboi bullshit along the way. You are so short-sighted it's incredible. I can understand why people think the way you do, I'm just glad as fuck my upbringing wasn't so bankrupt, and that I at least have a fighting chance of being a decent person. If everyone thought and acted the way you purport to do, we'd be even more fucked than we are now. Bon voyage, mon brave! I'm sure your grandchildren will thank you.
If advertising gets in the way, stop using the product. Using AdBlock is about as far from honest as you can get. Why deny the providers of a service - that you openly admit to liking - revenue for providing you that service? I just don't understand this selfish attitude.
Your post has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion at hand. European history has nothing to do with what would happen with the standard of living in the third world improving.

No, that's not true at all. Not even close. The ignorance in your post is staggering.
Aaah the old racism card. Fantastic stuff.
"Terrorism" is a means, "revolutionary" is a motive. One can be both, or either, or neither.
Michelle Malkin? Really? She's all kinds of fucked-up in the head. She's so full of hate I'm surprised she doesn't stab herself in the face when she looks in the mirror.
Kill?? Why the fuck should more people be killed? Just take them prisoner and give them due process.

The programme was called "Castaway 2000", and was made by Lion Television.

Or you could pay some fucking attention, and realise you're not the only person on the road. It's incredible. You are angry that you:
1) Weren't paying attention to the road you are travelling on
2) Got caught doing so
Wow. You're some piece of work.

He probably realised he'd save some money, and so sold his beliefs down the river for some cold, hard cash. He does that.
