    No, you're missing the point. Reading the codes from a device with an interface provided by the manufacturer to communicate codes is neither reverse-engineering nor decryption.

    Yeah, but Bill gives more money to charity on the average tuesday than Stallman will in his whole life. As you all are so fond of the common good of society, Stallman couldn't contribute as much as Bill to the good of society as a whole if he lived to be 1,000 years old.

    Way.

    Wolf's Head motor oil has been recycling and selling used/filtered/fixed-somehow-to-be-used-again motor oil for about 70% the $/qt rate for as long as I've been working on cars (20 years+)

    Also, if you don't like the thought of eating things cooked in recycled veg oil, avoid McDonalds, Wendy's, Buger King, etc.

    I hear they use the same glasses and silverware over and over in some restaurants too....yucky!

    The "useful cargo capacity" involves the ability to switch from one mode to another. I can carry 7 people or a queen sized bed and box spring, and protect both from the elements (something you can't do in a truck). It has four wheel drive, unlike most vans, and I like to park at the top of my driveway when it snows.

    The good thing is, I don't have to "try to justify an SUV" to any idiots like you at all...I can just buy it because I want to, but thanks for trying.

    who's to say that with more research we won't work out a method for cloning specific parts and not whole people from whom parts will be harvested.

    This will almost certainly come to pass. A researcher in Japan (no I don't have a link, somone else here does) has succesfully created a frog without limbs, one without a head, and one that was nothing but a head, etc.... We'll get there in spite of luddite attitudes in the US.

    Slight alteration there eh?

    The punishment for which was to be "severe consequences", the language left deliberately vague because at the time, and later when it was revisited, they couldn't all agree on what should have been done.

    Uh, the Maginot Line actually worked. Its purpose was not to protect France from the entire world forever, it was to stop the Germans from attacking from the East, which it did. They got their ass kicked from somewhere else instead...[pissing contest remark]...until we saved them, of course.
