"The question is why one would use this program?"
well, depends how quickly the registration hack comes out, and if it really an easier interface. At a minimum, if it does something innovative, free alternatives can copy the idea and incorporate it into their own products.
wow. i get 37 in my saturn. and it has airbags, air conditioning, people can see me in the rearview mirror. makes me not feel quide as bad being a single passenger commuter. I was really expecting a number like 60-70.
in a place where people make enough money to own the cars they need, and replace it when the need changes or the car needs to be replaced. they don't get accumulated the way my wife accumulates yet another pair of 'cute shoes'.
now, if it's an electric car, how do they measure MPG? 170 MPG? seriously? do they charge it off a gasoline generator? Maybe if they go off a coal plant, they could quote MPTon. Or for a nuke plant, MPRad. Natural gas is popular... MPTherm?
yeah, but there's a problem. Saturn ended the SL series. I have a 2002, the last year in that line, which I got after my '99 was totaled. just crossed 100k miles, still get ~37mpg, and I can just squeeze in a car seat and two boosters in the back to fit the whole family in the car. And it's stick. Not sure what I'm gonna do when I have to replace this one. No way I'd pick up an Ion. Hoping it makes it at least to 150k.
When traveling much faster than my peak running speed, I prefer something a bit more substantial between my cranium and the blacktop. Especially when your biggest threat is not how you drive, but how everyone else doesn't know how to account for you on the road.
but, since we're on that subject, what is typical motorcycle gas mileage?
nothing. it's the fact that (a) you're only 'seriously considering' voting 3rd party, and (b) 'seriously considering voting 3rd party' is considered a strange, or even extreme, option.

I perfectly understand the urge. It's that cliff-dive from urge to action that is inconceivable. And yes, I don't think this was because the 3yr old just wouldn't stop singing the Barney song.
Optimum: 8x10 cell, family alive. Not as good, but tolerable: dead by his own hand, family alive. Absolutely horrible: him dead with wife and his 3 year old child.
As a father of 3, I cannot fathom what drives a person to do that to their own child. An adult can create conflict that may drive you to retaliate. A 3 year old cannot.
I would recommend you pick up some sort of embedded logic kit. Something, anything, that translates code into real world manipulation. Even if it just winds up being a fancy digital clock kit, the fact that he can write some code and see something physical happen can completely enamor a kid.
I'm saying this from the perspective of an engineer. Circuit theory class was one thing. But when we could controllably vary the intensity of a lightbulb, and then in digital logic class pattern an LED array, and then in electronics move a robotic arm... etc. Things like that made the theory 'real'. Simple algorithms in a microcontroller producing sensible output can help make programming more than just words on a screen.
I'm a bit out of touch with what's available, however. I know there are a number of LEGO kits (mindstorm or something?) that let you do things like this. Get a starter kit, give the kid a challenge, and tell him if he accomplishes 'X', you'll buy him a bigger set.

sorry, government offices are all non-profit.
mod points please...
overflow problems? that can't be right. The calorimeters should never register that much accumulated energy. Let me look into this.
Wait, this is wrong. This is all wrong. Planck's constant shouldn't be varying like that. Attempting shutdown...
it's not... it's not shutting down! Attempting manual override...AGGGGHHHHH!

oh, you're paying for it all right. we all are.
flying car man... it'll be a flying car.
That's no moon...
we should put a black hole in orbit to take care of the debris. we can name it Hoover.
that's what the shoes are for.

godwin didn't show up yet. but give him time.

wow. you're last sentence reflected so much of what is wrong in this country.
very slow solar.
leave Frank out of this. he has enough problems.
that's what you think
also, the American side is a user driven firewall, not a govt imposed on.

I still like the idea of printing them out at home in complete privacy.
Very important for those pictures.
heh, he said orthogonal
