You obviously don't know the definition of wheelbase. FYI, it's the distance betweem the centerlines of the front and rear axles.
Also, your contention that vehicles flip over due to snagging on guard rails makes no sense. Can you point to any online sources that support your assumption?
I (together with my wife) bought a Dodge Caravan last year. I wasn't happy about going the minivan route - I'm a sports car person myself. However, the minivan has turned out to be a supremely versatile vehicle. Going skiing? Throw the skis in and drive to the mountain. Going cycling? Take out the third row of seats and throw in the bikes. Building a deck? Take out all the seats and buy a pile of lumber. Going out to dinner with 2 other couples? Offer to drive them all.
I have done all these things and more.
Minivans are not only for mothers to drive their kids around. You should expand your horizons.
A kindergartener can tell the difference between different denominations of US money. Anyone who says otherwise is blowing hot air. However, I do understand the challenge to blind people.
US currency is washable. When you wash it, it comes out nicely crisp and clean. It's made of cotton BTW, not some non-biodegradable plastic.
In my travels, I have found it very annoying to deal with different sized paper currency. Makes for a mess in the wallet or pocket - especially since non-US money seems to be made of notebook paper and gets all wrinkled and gnarled.
Dollar coins haven't become popular simply because they are inconvenient to use. Who wants/needs a pound (0.454 kg) of dollar coins jangling around in their pants pocket or purse?
Also, I'd rather my appreciation of exotic dancers be accomplished with nice warm dollar bills, not little hard dollar coins.
We are/were a mostly GroupWise shop until the end of this year. The coporate parent dictated a move to Notes. I cannot believe how absolutely awful Notes is on so many levels. It's painful.
The militia types and citizens with guns, whether kooky or not, are powerless against true military hardware. Rifles and shotguns are useless against tanks, airplanes, a precision guided missiles.
I work for a legitimate, non-spamming multinational company with presence in the US, UK, Canada, South America, Asia, etc etc). From my experience, Spamhaus definitely works like a self-righteous vigilante organization. My company's mail servers were blacklisted several times earlier this year simply because employees' out-of-office autoreply rules were autoreplying to spam messages (the few that get through our filters). I assume our servers were blacklisted either because messages hit a spamtrap or some clueless person complained about getting junk mail from my company.
They told us we should stop people from using auto-reply rules. Right. For 35,000 people where client communication is paramount. Brilliant vigilante thinking.
The end result was months of legal wrangling. Threats of a lawsuit finally brought them into line.
The majority of heat lost from your PC case is through convection, not radiation. Heat rejection should not be a deciding factor. What kills it for me is the exhorbitant prices these guys charge for the cases. Truly insane.
I've had Optimum Voice from Cablevision for just over a year. To date, I have not had a dropped call or bad quality call. In fact, call quality is pretty good - egual to, if not better than my former Verizon landline.
Also, do you live in or near a big city? If yes, you may have heard of ozone warnings on hot hazy days when it is strongly recommdended that kids and the elderly stay indoors.

Notes is simply awful. Powerful, but overly complex, inconsistent, and frustrating to use.

Perhaps you should drink less - or have a designated tipper :-D

My thoughts exactly. I'm 42 and don't feel old at all. No creaks, no aches and pains - nothing.
Sometimes, though, I worry that I'm not as mature as I should be at this age. Perhaps outlook on life influences physical being.
Immaculate conception refers to Mary's conception, not Jesus's
I used to love playing Air Warrior on Compuserve in the mid-90's. You could have 75 or more people dogfighting in World War II aircraft.
I'd be impressed if John Denver showed up. He died in an airplane crash in 1997.
I'm curious - where do you live and who is the provider?

Enlighten me. What is the proper way to set up an autoreply?

Just for balance...

You lost me on Heineken. What an awful beer - smells like skunk.
Here's something from the EPA http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html/

I didn't realize Hispanic is a race.
I'm half "Hispanic" and as "white" as any "white" guy out there.
You are now my friend :-)
The misuse of quantum leap bothers me just as much as the misuse of aggravate vs. irritate.
