I own one of those massive cars (1979 Camaro) I am in th process of lowering its MPG into the teens (7.4 Liter cast iron carbureted engine) However, it is not a commuter vehicle. I've put maybe 40 miles on it in 6 months. For me, it's a toy for all intents and purposes.
The issue is mostly that people aren't interested as much in having a heavy car. They want their friends to be jealous. They want to appear well off.
If people just wanted heavy cars, there are lots of pre- 80's iron on the roads folks could buy.
If it's the same orange pen I got, it summed up vista and office 2k7 nicely: it looked like a fairly standard retractable ballpoint. It had features that were pretty but pointless (led lights) that were activated using the interface (clicker at the end) that is normally reserved for the pen tip Hide/Unhide function. To Unhide the pen tooltip, you had to turn the barrel (requiring both hands). Making it twice as difficult to use as opposed to it's implied functionality.
Furthermore, it crapped out on me halfway through the keynote.
I'm sure that back in the 70's during the gas crunch, the people that said "gas is gonna be $2, 3, 4 a gallon" were told the same thing OMG! Slippery slope! Slippery Slope!
Hence why I am trying to trade my floyd equipped Jacksons for some hardtails. I use a heavy pick hand as well. Tends to send them a little sharp. and the D-tuna doesn't work well for me either
String tension / gauge also plays a role in intonation. The open string may sound true, but it will only be in proper tune for the tuning the bridge is set for. If they come out with a self-adjusting tune-o-matic bridge, I will buy one in a heartbeat. (personal bias: I play Jacksons.)
Actions on the internet cannot be likened to a public square. Unless such public square is cached and searchable.
IOW, If I were to flash someone in a public square, The person that I flashed and anyone in a very limited line of sight that happened to be looking in my direction at that instant saw the event. Everyone else saw something different. If all of those folks just thought "what a perv" and went on their way, no harm done.
OTOH, if I did the same on the internet, anybody could be offened by the same act months or years later.
I don't think there are any solar powered hydrogen plants. The key to reducing CO2 is to reduce it's use in the production and supply chain.
If the hydrogen plant is supplied by a coal or natural gas plant, there may be little or no reduction in the net CO2 emission throughout production.
As to the supply chain, if the hydrogen car is inefficient, the trucks that deliver the hydrogen (probably burning diesel) will need to make more trips to maintain the same demand as gasoline, increasing the net CO2 per kg.
Don't be so shortsighted. The solution is not so simple as "Everybody needs to drive a different car!"
Seconded, Except the bank account part. If the FBI knew about your bank account, I'm sure that they would give that info to the IRS. Is there anyone who wants the IRS to know about the contents of their bank account? (Although there would be no reason to have your taxes done. The IRS would already know everything and just send you a bill.)
I get your point, but I have really dark curtains because it's 108F outside! Block the sun or pay a higher electric bill. Same with the window tint. My car has a black vinyl interior (old car).
All things being equal, some laws DEMAND privacy. If I were to do my wife doggy style on the front lawn, I'm sure that some folks in blue uniforms would show up. Ditto if the same were done in the house without blinds.
Then we don't need Software. We need MONSTER TRUCKS!!!!!! People get two warnings to get the hell out of the way. If they don't comply, they get run the hell over. It will be expensive at first, but only a few examples will have to be made before people stop being assshats.
Driver: there is a wreck up ahead Passenger: Get out of here man. Driver: Why?
- Sirens in background - Passenger: We need to make way for emergency vehicles!
- Crunching metal sounds coming closer - Driver: Fuck them! I wanna see!
I can see the wreck now, damn it looks pretty bad.
- passenger exits vehicle just before truck destroys the car he just left -
Pan out to a cop standing on the road Officer: You know there is a wreck up ahead, Remember, we'll get there whether or not you are in the way.

But, once you get GLaDOS built, don't forget to disable the neurotoxin enitters.
You can't increase the weak. It would then be strong!
Then the less strong will be the new weak. Then you will want THAT increased!
When will you be happy?
My golf cart is gas. EZ-GoOWorkhorse.

Like the desire to KILL ALL HUMANS.
or to say, "Hey baby, wanna go kill all humans?"
profit is a side effect. you should make profit a comment.
I see a bunch of strike this and add that. Does anyone have a copy of the US code with the changes?
Would it be okay to infect someone with a virus, hack their website or post their personal details online?
That would depend on the person.
Pose that same argument where $argument =~ s/cigarettes/marijuana/ and see if it is still valid.
My pet rock may not love me, but my weighted companion cube has expressed it's love. It wears its heart on it's face(s) for all to see!
Tivo man!

I'll stop bitchin now....

I concur. After listening to parts of Reign in Blood on CD, Vinyl, and Cassette, sound quality decreases in that order.

Ye, But you'll need to break it up a bit first. That's cheating.
