It's more due to the fact that higher-power incandescent bulbs are more efficient. A 40 W bulb puts out 500 lumens, but a 100 W bulb puts out 1700 lumens. That's 3.4x the light for 2.5x the power.
I agree completely (AC here, forgot to sign in). However as was pointed out by myself and others, if you're plugging the car in it's not a hard problem to solve.
Still, your fuel economy shouldn't be dropping that much. Have you considered a block warmer? Here's one for the Prius. Setting your tires at sidewall pressure and covering the bottom grill (top grill on pre-2010 models) will also yield improvements.
ETC group supports the adoption of a moratorium on geoengineering following the draft decisions recommended by SBSTTA 14, and emphasizes that if any exception is made for research, it must be clearly confined to laboratory research and computer modeling and that all in-situ (real world) experiments fall under the moratorium.
The application of the precautionary principle via a moratorium on geoengineering deployment and experiments in the field is the most fundamental step that the Parties to the CBD should take in order to ensure the protection of biological diversity from the potential dangers posed by these technologies
ETC's justification is that any real-world research would either be A) on such a large scale that it would be the same as the "real thing," or B) too small to reveal potential downsides.

RIP Jef. On a lighter note, check out his son's work at Humanized
Edit: Looks like he just updated it. I guess someone informed him of Raskin's departure...
>Yeah. Clearly the guy who invented holding down the Caps Lock key and typing "open firefox" to start firefox (real example from their home page) is a UI genius.

In this case, anything more would be too much.
My ex-girlfriend's dad was setting up a program called "Sustainable Vienna." His goal was to make our town self-sufficient in terms of both energy and food production. I was on the board, before I moved out to Rochester for college.
Just had to point out that everyone in Upstate NY doesn't fall for this crap.
Since we're not altering any reproductive DNA, how exactly are these traits going to be passed on to their offspring (the trait of, er, having humans put some strange liver in you)? Now, a sheep with human reproductive organs, that would be a different matter...
*shudders* creepy...
Nullsoft is definitly big into open source. Just check out their website. Most of the tools they've developed are open source. Get em' before they're gone!
Under Windows by default the profiles are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.FOO\extensions\ (where FOO is 3 random characters). Just set the entire FireFox profile directory to be archived/read-only, and extensions, cache, bookmarks, history, etc will all be unmodifiable.
Preferential contains documentation of most of the Mozilla and FF preferences, but it's almost a year out of date. And you'd of course want to block about:config, which I have no idea how to do.
You might also want to check out this FF build, which is designed for use on a USB drive. It includes an extension that allows you to install XPIs on the drive, but that could be removed. It nixes cookies, bookmarks etc in much the same way.
There's a better hosts file (well, more servers) at remember.mine.nu I use it and with Mozilla popup blocking, it's great! It's updated frequently and contains over 1800 servers. I practically never see ads anymore. And of course, like all Hosts based adblocking, it's platform independent and speeds up your connection.
Not to mention how "Search... on the Internet" doesn't launch my default browser, and doesn't recognize Mozilla's search sidebar, nor my Search Engine selection, nor... etc. With Windows, it's never about the user's decisions, it's about Microsoft's decisions.
Just looking through my start menu I can see a wealth of things I never checked when I installed XP... such wonderfully useful and undoubtably well-designed programs as:
Windows Movie Maker
MSN Passport Service
MSN Messenger
Outlook Express
Address Book
Few people realize this, but Windows isn't really an operating system. It doesn't allow software to communicate efficiently with hardware - it simply replaces software! It should be called a Computer Substitute.

Every time I want to call someone, I'd have to do that.
Wouldn't you eventually, you know, remember the phone number?

...will be most pleased that this is now possible.

They tried that once, it was called laissez faire economics. We needed a reform era afterwards to break up all the monopolies.
Too bad that doesn't actually "Remove" the components, as the name would suggest.
