I'm pretty sure they sell these things in New Orleans and Santa Fe. I realize that it is a hassle to buy a car in one state and re-license it in another, but I have done it myself. It's not too hard.

This is a $3,000,000.00 contract and no one thought to check the product specs against the contract specs. Heads need to roll, and certainly would where I work. And, yes I work for a government agency.
Since yew trees (Taxus) are gymnosperms, that kind of queers your proposed theology, unless you accept the more mainstream doctrine that Yggdrasil is an ash (Fraxinus). Also, don't forget that His Noodly Appendages are derived from wheat and the sacramental beverages are made from barley and grapes.
Actually, that tax refund is misleading also. The maximum tax credit is $7,500.00, but it adjusts on a sliding scale inversely proportional to your gross taxable earnings. In reality, anyone who can afford a $70,000.00 car will get a significantly smaller credit, like $1,500.00 or less.
YMMV, and I am not a tax accountant, especially not your tax accountant. Run your own personal numbers through TurboTax or some such before buying any hybrid or other car that qualifies for such a credit.
Laptops have had fingerprint login authentication for years. Why all the fuss over what seems to be a more secure method than the one on my wife's four year old HP?
Well, this should prevent any resurgence of Lysenkoism or other such quackery. This puts Russian science in the forefront of government revitalization of science right along with the forward thinkers in the Canadian government.

Beta took two tapes to hold a movie, while VHS took one, this was significant. The quality difference when hooked up to old TV sets via RF was negligible. If I recall, Beta machines were more expensive as well. At the time, VHS was a better choice for most people.
I had two Betamax players, one Sony and one Sanyo. I can't ever recall having a movie span more than one tape. Maybe it did right at the very start of the format, but not shortly after. Another significant difference between the formats was that Betamax lifted the tape off the heads during rewind where VHS did not, resulting in greater wear on both heads and tape. There were VHS tape rewinders you could buy if you cared.
Who cares? You're never going to actually drive it that fast.
Don't get to California much, do you?
Seriously. I was doing about 85 in my Z3 on 101 in Mendocino County and got passed by a silver-blue Ferrari that had to be well over 120. Scared the shit out of me.
I've heard tales of sports car owners going over 150 on I-5. I have no idea when they do this, because every time I'm on there it would seem impossible. Maybe they do this further north, where the traffic is lighter.
Try Colusa County or anywhere north of Williams after midnight weekdays. Straight, flat, smooth and dark. On 101 it's a bit trickier due to the lack of straights in the rural areas. Best I've done on101 in the Z3 is 110. On 5, I've run it up to the electronic limiter at 128 several times.
In the late sixties most small town engine shops could get you 500+ hp out of even a small block 289 Ford or 327 Chevy. I was always partial to the 289's square bore and stroke. After that, 200+ was just a matter of rear end ratios. Friend had a 327 built up in an old Studebaker Commander and would race anyone for pinks starting side by side at 100 mph. Thing actually handled pretty well due to some suspension work and thank god for the Airheart disc brakes on the thing. Still pretty scary.

It isn't the straight line top speed that matters. You could always get 200+ mph out of big block American V8s. It's speed and stability around corners that matters. This Ferrari seewms just the ticket for that off-camber, diminishing radius turn with a pothole at the apex.
if three people are holding protest signs on the side of the road, the FBI will try to wiretap and infiltrate them.
The big difference here is, these three hypothetical people will not be facing a three-year sentence.

Dear Coward, thank you for your helpful response. Having read that and several others, the point of the 41 MP is to gain sharpness through pixel averaging and downsizing the image to 5MP. This appears to work as advertised. There is also general agreement that shot-to-shot and startup times are slow and that color accuracy is poor. There is also consistent criticism of the included camera software, but that has nothing to do with the 41 MP sensor.

Pint is how you order beer, preferably an Imperial pint.
Right you are. I was confusing it with the older credit for hybrid vehicles.

Quantitative easing means that you are still getting eased in the ass, but with lube.

I am glad it has been amended. Certainly it was an injustice. I am old enough to remember when it was true, though not nearly as old as Stevenson.

Still here. Note that in spite of nearly incredible incompetence from all concerned, still nobody dead.
Yet. It will be some time before the increased mortality from this incident is known.

I can't imagine that this phone has a lens capable of justifying 41 megapixels. It's all just marketing hype, and it's not working.
