So if you belong to a culture/religion that does not allow eating pork, for example, would you be allowed to eat synthetic pork since it didn't come from a pig?
I am doubting that a stock 2010 SS can do 200mph "easily". Maybe 175mph with speed limiter removed. Of course my "authorities" are top speed videos on Youtube so YMMV.
Can't stop fast and can't accelerate quickly. That's why motorcycles have at least two wheels, not because people weren't clever enough to make a powered unicycle before this.
When I was visiting my brothers in Georgia, we heard a news report that Ashville, NC had been labelled a "Cesspool of Sin" by one of the local legislators due to the large number of "hippies, liberals and textile artists". I can understand a cesspool of sin. I can't understand why a Chinese telecom company operating in the US is a good idea. What could possibly go wrong with tons of Chinese-owned communications equipment scattered around the country?
How about a USB cable to connect a cell phone to a computer that had no metallic conductors in it? Just rubber insulation with the correct connectors on the ends. Granted this was from eBay, but we finally figured out what it was. A wireless cable. It can't be that hard to make an IC package with no chip in it.
You develop a vehicle that can't go very far. Hmmm. Invent a new market segment, the Short Distance Vehicle (SDV). Now it's leading its market segment!! Not as clever as bottled water, but pretty good.
When the laptops are dropped, people with guns will be waiting to received them. If something that can be converted into weapons falls from the sky, do you think happy children will be scooping up the goods while their poor parents watch in delight? Not happening.
This is absolutely true. Apparently heating systems (even totally automated ones with thermostats) have only two settings: on and off. If you want the temp to be 72, you set it to 85 so it heats up "faster", then when it's too hot, you turn it off. The temperature is always wrong so you have to keep adjusting. It makes you feel needed.
1) Invent new feature that is sure to revolutionize the computer world.
2) No one wants it, so you are driven from the market in shame.
3) 10 years later, Apple re-introduces the feature no one wanted.
4) Market goes crazy and Apple becomes rich. Much head-shaking ensues.
5) Copycats try to reproduce the feature, but fail because they are not Apple.
6) This is really annoying.

* My brothers '72 Capri caught fire in the garage and nearly burned our house down.
* Windmills only kill condors left, but not right.
* Radar ground clutter is well known.
* Using heater uses energy of course. Can't blame Obama for laws of physics being inconvenient sometimes.
* I tend to agree with you on the silliness of ethanol.
Private market is no paragon of virtue. Recall AIG?, Enron? BP oil spill? Bhopal chemical leak? etc. etc.?
After showing off a pile of hardware the size of a small house, the announcer states, "...and it can be installed anywhere!".

Since I never understood the need for Steam in the first place, maybe I'm not worthy of a notification.

I don't have cable so I watch over-the-air TV transmissions. In the car I listen to the radio or CDs or MP3s. Not so weird to me!

Courts can rule "guilty" or "not guilty". There is no "innocent".
Certainly no bank could complain about THAT.

As two wrongs don't make a right, two morons don't make a genius.
The problem is: Elected= Idiotic OR (largely) accountable to someone (but not us).
Once Microsoft fixes a security problem, it stays fixed and no further problems can arise.

An economist is someone who, if you don't know a phone number, will estimate it for you.
Excellent! No human could write jokes like that.

Yes but those people were all crooks and liars and have paid for their crimes by becoming rich.
According to Fark.com he died of nachoral causes. Sorry.

Rats! I was going to offer to do it for $10million!
