As someone who worked with court records esp. bankruptcy records in the late 90's - early 00's be thankful for the PACER of today. I still have nightmares about connecting to the OK City bankruptcy court through a Citrix client to check proof of claims filings. Or using PCAnywhere to connect to Trustee data(shudder).
The platform the Cadillac CTS is based on was designed for the CTS and is still currently only used/available in Cadillacs. It is NOT another modified version of a Chevy. You poor misguided bastard. GM is reusing Saab parts in the CTS or like the CTS V, a reskinned corvette. Now, this is not nearly the abomination that the Kappa platform was.
Cars can turn better than bikes. Cars can stop better than bikes.
WTF? I'm going to have to insert a [citation needed] here with a healthy amount of skepticism.
Depending on the car vs bike, that may be true. Since braking is all about weight vs contact patch of tires and size of rotors(assuming disc brakes) then this car/cart should stop faster/shorter than a bike also assuming equal sized brake rotors since the car/cart will have four wheels doing the braking instead of two. However, your average chevy tahoe will require more space to stop than a sport bike.
I'm of course nothing close to being a lawyer, but if she is caught barefaced lying to the court, I don't see why she should be shown any leniency.
That's what perjury is for, not draconian statutory damages.
What ever happened to microwave lighting that I saw on TV over a decade ago that was going to kick ass??? Everyone got 802.11B and G Wifi and your microwave lighting would kill it dead. Sorry. ...VR sex slave. Didn't you see the film? Don't date a Robot!
I think that people who defend non-hybrid cars on Slashdot should have their Geek Card revoked. They're defending a century-old technology that does not have a wide performance range, coupled to a century-old technology that, through a hideously complex set of gears, extends the performance band to tolerable limits. Wow, taking your opinion to its logical conclusion, anyone working w/ linux should turn in their geek card. After all it's damn near 40 year old technology. As for you does not have a wide performance range did you mean diesels here, b/c my petrol engine idles at ~600 rpm and readlines at 7000. That's a pretty wide performance range. 6 speed manual transmission isn't that complex. Not to mention that the car has a Cd of 0.25 and you can enter it and start it with only a Star-Trek-like device in your pocket. Starships don't have keys! Wow, just about every luxury automanufacturer has this it's called comfort access. But hey if you want to glue some nacelles onto your car and call it a starship more power to you. Though I will point out the most ungeeky thing is to be a sanctimonious prick and start excluding others due to a difference of opinion.
For this reason I hope they sink without trace. We have enough evidence in Europe, within living memory, of where this road leads, to condemn nazis out of hand.
Ditto, for the communists, yet they still have parties throughout Europe, funny that.
Oh? I missed the news then. When did the US annexed Germany and Finland? They didn't that's why the action is hey we won't be buying your shit rather than, hey we're fining the fuck out of you. Really, this is such a non-story. During economic crisis, country uses fuzzy logic to exclude foreign manufacture over domestic one. Fire still hot, water still wet. Just wait for the appearance of the Blue Eagle before you start getting too indignant.
the process to extract it is very environmentally dangerous because it requires sodium cyanide. Or(no pun intended) you could use mercury. Because of its rarity, gold is one of the most efficiently stored and universally recognized forms of wealth you can have. Less rarity, more chemical stability and difficulty in counterfeiting.
Where is the "-1 misguided" button? China cares for it's trade but has consistently voted against international intervention in sovereign countries in the UN Security Council. They don't like outsiders telling them what to do, and they refuse to tell other countries how to run their internal affairs to the point of ignoring serious human rights abuses. I believe it's right next to the -1 misinformed button. Oh, don't take my word for it just ask Vietnam or Tibet how isolationist China can be.
Why should food be cheap, cell phones aren't cheap, cars aren't cheap Nobody died when they didn't get enough cell phone minutes, or have a car. Try not eating for a month or two and get back to me about why should food be cheap.
Renewable energy is a big concern today, but the plant is illegal. Go figure.
Blame Hurst and the other wood pulp magnates of the day who realized that paper made from hemp fibers would destroy their market share.
"Jap" is a pejorative term.
You are either very old and bigoted or very young and stupid.
Actually, if the poster were old and bigoted they would have used the term "Nip" instead of Jap but thanks for playing.
People respond to their pocketbooks. In this case, it's easy to align people's incentives with the goals we want to achieve: Make gas expensive. We did that but due to this wonderful thing called elasticty of demand, we doubled the price of gas and consumption did not go down linearly with the rise in costs. Not to mention making fuel expensive tends to make everything else expensive as well.
42 mpg x 20 mile commute each day is a lot more fuel consumptive than 20 mpg x occasional grocery trip. Newsflash we all can't live in the cities. End of line.
Every time I see an American flag in a trailer court or row house window it makes me want to cry. Not sure if you're trolling, but hell. Everytime I read something so inane on the internet it makes me want to laugh. The thought that American patriotism makes someone what to cry, in a world where they still beat the women in Kumar, makes me chuckle.
Yes, it's rather like a newsflash that the Hanseatic league has declared war on the Duchy of Burgundy. What? Where? And who cares? You mean it's too late to catch the 11:30 auto-gyro to the Prussian embassy in Siam?
Note to moderators; 'Troll' is not a synonym for 'Does not agree with my Atlas Shrugged worldview' Dude, you might have been tagged Troll by the Kosdot mods who dislike any assault on the political elite, since "progressives" are the ones in power now.
The "White Western World"* is due for a good upheaval.
WWW* borrowed from a cyber feminist. Yeah, b/c all those brown people dependent on food aid from the white western world really need help losing weight. Good. We're past due for another big shake up. When was the last time a major nation-state was shaken up? Before most of the major nation states had massive nuclear arsenals capable of rendering significant portions of the earth's surface uninhabitable for people. Tell your cyber feminist friend to stop playing fallout3, watch mad max instead to see just how much fun post apocalyptica is for feminists.
How so? You could hypothetically add a battery replacement center to existing gas stations, much like many have added car washes to bring in new customers. Chicken and egg problem, battery replacement centers make sense once there is a certain level of demand for battery replacement, and for the individual consumer a battery replacement car only makes sense when there are enough stations to suit your driving needs. Prior to this critical mass a bunch of people will be paying the early adopter penalty.
"All that protesting and freedom of speech stuff is only for *us* when anyone other than us are in power! Didn't you get the memo?" Wow, offtopic maybe, but flamebait?Apparently Kosdot mods are in full effect. So here, I've got karma to burn, the people who spent the previous 8 yrs telling everybody that dissent is the most patriotic thing, were ones attempting to marginalize and mischaracterize the April 15th protests and protesters.

Don't worry, the EU screws European corporations exactly the same way!
Umm no, Saint-Gobain not withstanding, the EU plays the same domestic favoritism that all govts play.

Somalia is the answer to your wildest Libertarian dreams... Bon Voyage, and good luck.
Conversely, N. Korea is the answer to your statist dreams, don't forget to pack a lunch.

There is no such thing as "The EU Army".
