The point is that with DST, it stays lighter late. Theoretically, you would turn on your house lights later and thereby save energy. Overall, if everyone uses their lights less, energy consumption will be reduced. This made sense back in the 40's, but now I'm not so sure. Most people I know run their AC 24x7 whether they need it or not.
I find the whole faith in ghosts thing appalling. Intelligent (and not so intelligent) people are willing to believe in angels, answered prayers, virgins in heaven, etc. What a crock...
I'll believe the astounding mileage claim after they submit their car to Car and Driver magazine for a full road test. Until then, this is a pipe dream.
Useless ugly POS vehicle. For $13k I'd take a chance on a Kia and have something more useful and less ugly.
Companies like this go bankrupt for a reason - nobody wants to buy their product.
1. I'm not laughing - no sense of humor.
2. I would venture a guess I saw it when you were in diapers, or maybe when you were a gleam in someone's eye:-)
I tend to forget unimportant throwaway dialog from 27 year old movies. Anyway, according to one of those web based geek tests, I'm not much of a nerd, so sue me.
The only people who seek the presidency (or really, any high political position) are crazy egomaniacs. Honestly, you'd have to be crazy. It's a no win position. No matter what you do you will be criticized by the left, the right, the center, other countries, aliens, pets, etc. Every decision you make will get second guessed.
Out of the current crop of egomaniacs, I'll probably choose Kerry. He *seems* to have a grasp of the fact that the world is not black and white but a continuum of grey.
Why bother with all this technology when you can reduce noise to a tremendous degree by using a nice quiet Nexus power supply, Nexus CPU fan, and quiet fluid bearing drive hard disk?
That's market driven. Most Americans want automatic transmissions. Why should DaimlerChrysler spend money to provide manual transmissions when a majority of buyers of that type of car don't want one.
The expensive Xenon/arc discharge lamps provide superior lighting at night - much better than any halogen bulb. However, the there is the price. SO the buyer needs to weigh improved safety vs. cost.
You know, you're allowed to order any car you want with any options you want and have it custom built for you. Nobody says you have to buy off the dealer's lot!
Absolutely. I cut my OS teeth first on OS-9 6809 then OS9-68000 on an MM1. Not many people know about THAT machine. Had a UUCP server, Internet email, USENET newsgroups, etc running out of my house back in the early 90's.

This atheist does not believe in a higher power.

What does the Society of Automotive Engineers have to do with this???

Such belligerence. tsk tsk young man

Er, a parsec is a measure of distance, not speed.

Same here. Slashdot has always displayed properly using any version of Mozilla and FF that I've ever used.
Hear hear! Bless you! Nucular Nucular ARRRGH!
Let's just put an RFID in my ass and be done with it.
Audio porn can be just as "interesting" as video :-)
Ridiculous overkill. How about putting the money towards lowering sky high tuition costs?

Actually, I think every one of the 50 states has a Springfield
Uh, you mean circa 1979, right?
Why is is that people can't spell C-A-M-A-R-O correctly?? ARRRGH!

Didn't Netware do this, oh, 15 years ago? I think it's called elevator seeking. What's old is new again.
