No, space is a far far harder vacuum than anything we can currently manage on-planet.
A vacuum tube still has between 1 million to 1 billion molecules per cubic centimetre, depending on tolerances. The best vacuum we can currently make has about 100k molecules per cubic centimetre.
Interplanetary space has about 10. Interstellar space has about 1. Intergalactic space has about 1 per cubic metre (10,000 cubic centimetres).
My gut feeling (based on my historical knowledge of this industry) is that Smart Car will wither on the vine in a slow death next.
The Smart was doing fine here (Canada) initially.
Then someone must have gotten a lobotomy. They got rid of the diesel version and only sell it as a gimped (inferior to the EU gasoline, never mind the diesel) gasoline now.
Used to be? Here in Saskatchewan, the price is usually slightly cheaper or no more than a few cents more. That's not even close to offsetting the efficiency gain.
Also, keep in mind that diesel prices are rather seasonal, as it competes for refinery capacity with heating oil.
Not likely. Just about every small ISP closed up shop after the FCC changed the line leasing rules "in the interest of fairness", allowing the ILECs to lock them out after NCTA v. Brand X.
He instructed them not to defend the DOMA, not to not enforce it. His instruction came after the DOMA was already stuck down by a federal court (Gill v. Office of Personnel Management and Massachusetts v. United States Department of Health and Human Services). He said not to bother appealing it.
That's a different matter from marijuana laws, which already went to the supreme court and they said that federal law prohibiting medical marijuana overrides the state laws allowing medical marijuana, so the law is still in force.
Though I'd still like to see a 0 priority on it as you suggest.
In any event, we better be used to starvation diets if such things come to pass. If the Duggars and the Octomom and Kate Gosselian prove, it is impossible to keep people from irresponsibly overpopulating the world.
Even with those people, The USA, Canada, and just about all of Europe have had birth rates well below replacement for a few decades now (The USA hasn't had a birth rate above replacement since the late 60s). Immigration is the only way population is growing around here.

You're correct. Not sure how I put 10k in there.

See 14th amendment and incorporation doctrine. State governments are subject to pretty much all of the bill of rights.
The issue is you need lots of water and/or lots of elevation, about 1000 metre-litres per kilowatt-hour of storage.
No, it's US gallons. I converted from the original 3.0 litres/100km figure.
Skyactiv is still spark-ignited. This isn't.
Not quite. It's the the 4th power of vehicle weight divided by number of axles.

A typo I didn't catch because I need more coffee and because WV and VW look rather similar.
Because the people who think all diesels are like the piles of shit Oldsmobile sold haven't clued in that there are diesel engines designed properly.
Used to be? Here in Saskatchewan, the price is usually slightly cheaper or no more than a few cents more. That's not even close to offsetting the efficiency gain.

WV's bluemotion polo will do 78MPG and 0-60 in 13.9.
Naturally, it's not sold on this side of the pod.
Or you could be elsewhere in Canada, where that $70 gets you 25/2Mb and a "cap" of about 8.6TB.
200/40Mb is supposed to be available Soon(TM), though at a not-yet-specified price.
Shaw theoretically offers unlimited plans, though apparently in very select areas. I don't know anyone who can get one.
Not likely. Just about every small ISP closed up shop after the FCC changed the line leasing rules "in the interest of fairness", allowing the ILECs to lock them out after NCTA v. Brand X.
Do they think Barry Goldwater is still in charge or are they under the delusion that they're going to be changing that party from within?
I don't recall that working out well last time.
The situations are not entirely analogous.

You're not really going to get a better test short of phlebotomy.
This exact same test is used clinically today.
The question they're looking at here is whether to allow it to be bought by anyone in any random drugstore rather than only by doctors/NPs/etc.
It's just going to be snuck into the Harper Government's next omnibus novel^W bill
Quickly! Shut off your monitor. It is bombarding you with radiation in the hundreds of terahertz!

There is no sale. OS X is licensed, not sold.
Bobbs-Merrill Co. tried that line in 1908 and the Supreme Court didn't buy it then.
That license explicitly says not for re-sale, and only for us on Apple hardware.
And Bobbs-Merrill Co.'s license explicitly stated "not to be sold for less than $1".
The Supreme Court told them to get stuffed.
"I never saw what Psystar did that was actually wrong..."
Except they explicitly violated Apple's terms of use for OS X.
EULA is a legally binding contract, period. Breaking that contract is illegal, period.
Bobbs-Merrill Co. v. Straus.
Licensing is supposed to be irrelevant to resale because copyright does not apply to resale.
