Green Cars You Can't Buy

One thing to remember is that much of Europe has various cars that have diesel (and bio-diesel) engines that are not licensed for sale in the US.
And even the so-called plug-in hybrids (which I love) that will be sold by GM and Ford etc will be in such short supply that production until 2012 will be so minimal it's unlikely you'll be able to get one.
for cheaper European and Japanese CEOs who work for 1/20th the pay and think that growing the business is more important than fancy presentations that mean nothing about "innovations".
and to whoever is going to snopes me, I would just like to point out that your copyright exists using the registered mail option to yourself.
sending via standard post is not as legally restrictive nor logged. It is, however, considered legal proof in the absence of higher proof and has been since the time when we had literal mail but no electronic mail. The laws on this go back to when the Library was a room and they received mail brought by horse. Proof of the existence of such laws is in numerous legal textbooks. Go watch old TV shows of the Paper Chase if you don't believe me.
I still recommend the physical or electronic registration with the US Library of Congress thru their secure website using the correct copyright registration forms, or the variants for Canada, Mexico, and the EU - each has a registry, as do most nations worldwide.
Registering in one location confers copyright protection in all locations via international treaty. Said treaty has been around for a long long time.
Send a registered mail application to the US Library of Congress (or National Library if you're Canadian) for copyright.
Technically, sending it to yourself (even if a flash drive copy) by registered mail will do, but you get a lot better protection if you go the whole nine yards (8 meters).
Legally, an electronic signature is also binding, and you can apply for it online as well, but it's amazing how effective a physical copy is in court.
So, that wasn't a Referendum that I read about in Scotland?
Whatever.
Regardless, my advice is still sound. At least you'll get the cool new games at Christmas when we do - so it should be even more fun when you get a Wii! Lots of choices.
You can take our lives, but you can never take our FREEDOM!
oops, sorry, force of habit there.
I'm sure the Scottish Parliament might not agree with what you said.
And to my direct ancestor in Wales, sorry I forgot to mention you. And sorry if I offended anyone in Northern Ireland, but it's a bit of a touch subject, even if my first two romantic girlfriends lived there.
1. Zelda is worth it - buy it when you get your Wii. 2. If Wii Sports is not in your bundle, buy it... your Mii will thank you. 3. Rayman Raving Rabbids rocks! You so have to get that. 4. Excite Truck is cool. 5. FIFA 2008 is not yet out, so you footy fans will have to wait a bit.
It's called an upgrade to Linux or the MacOS for my laptop, so it will actually work and start up and shut down in under 30 seconds.
You guys lost me on this one. I've owned Microsoft OS since DOS 1.0, have owned DOS 1.1, 2.0, 2.2, 3.0, 3.3, 4.0, 5.0, and so many flavors of Windows since 1.0 that it would take me a long time to list them.
I didn't say that hard-core gamers were going away.
I just explained that the growth in the casual gamer market is most severely impacted by the non-adoption of HDTV high-res TVs in most American households.
If the market expands 400 percent overall, primarily in casual gaming, and the numbers for xBox360, PS3, and Wii all expand, but the Wii expands the most of all - in fact at a 2:1 ratio to the nearest competitor - than my analysis is still correct, as is your statement in regards to hard-core gamers.
Are more hard-core gamers buying HDTV sets and xBox360 and PS3 consoles? Sure.
Are more gamers (total) not adopting HDTV as fast as projected and mostly buying Wii consoles? Sure.
Both statements are true. Which is why i started with "No matter how you spin it" - because it is, no matter how well intentioned, spin.
I stand by my statement, gleaned from investor's reports in the print edition of the Wall Street Journal.
You confuse the inaction of the UK government and a few miscreants with the actual growth in renewables EU-wide.
You also have to realize they had two goals. One was 10 percent - already met. Another was 20 percent - which is a few years from now. The 25 percent goal is the most recently announced one.
Some people do. Others whine about how it's impossible and don't try.
My point is that the market where it matters, 720 dpi and above, won't even be 50 percent of the US market until 2009.
Regardless, as this is the case, this implies that neither the xBox360 nor the PS3 has any excessive "advantage" in terms of resolution until the physical monitors that display at a resolution where there is a substantial difference between the Wii and the "next-gen" consoles of the 360 and PS3, until at least 2009.
By which point, I predict, we will have a "fourth-gen" gaming console entry from Nintendo, as well as at least one other major player.
Until that point arrives, and until the marketroids at Sony and Microsoft understand that hard-core gamers are only a fraction of the gaming public, the continued route of the console market by Nintendo will continue apace.
Is it fair? What ever made you think markets or gaming was fair?
The reality is, no matter how much Sony or Microsoft try to spin it, is that consumers will not be buying next gen consoles in large quantities until after most of the TV market is HDTV. That will not be until 2009, when everyone is forced to switch over and the $2000 HDTV set from 2005 is selling - without the bugs on release - for $300 retail.
The market is a cruel mistress, and the Wii is surfing the wave, leading Nintendo fanbois and fangurls towards the next gen Wii successor they will release in 2009, completing their domination of the market.
Last night, for example, my son had three friends over for a lunar eclipse watching party (neat, turned red, blue and purple at times) and all his friends - who have xBox360 and PS3 at home - were wowed by the Wii and the games he had on it. Kids don't care about your excuses - they want what they want, as does most of the non-hardcore market that the Wii expanded into.
Meanwhile, while we waste ten times in dollars as the Iraqi oil we're trying to steal on a civil war that we have no reason to be involved in, the EU is on track to achieve 25 percent of their total energy supply from alternative energy.
If we were serious you'd be seeing increases of 1000 to 5000 percent every year.

oh, yeah, and there's Opera too, in addition. sorry, spaced that.
looking forward to the Wii versions of My Sims and Animal Crossing II as well - and you'll get them when we in the States get them!

Seatle? MS store?
Are you sure you don't mean Seattle?
And, besides, the Microsoft employee software store is in Redmond, where the Microsoft HQ and many campus locations are.
Isn't that more than are running Vista right now?
... you meant actually running WinVista ...
No, they count all of us who bought WinVista boxen and then installed WinXP or Win2K in a dual boot with Linux as being WinVista.
Oh

Sorry, count me out.
Then the US is already so far behind that we're the Poor Man of Europe.

I talked about how I was going to use the greenbacks I saved by not buying Red Chinese goods thru Walmart to decorate my room with.
So, saying "none" is misleading.
Personally, I like explosions.

Information and music don't want anything since they aren't alive..
How do you know? I hear them in my dreams every night, whispering to me, saying:
One RIAA to Bind them All.
One RIAA to Mind them.
You only have to open your mind and let the code flow.
fire extinguisher.
Then, whenever they say "Distinguished", let loose and "extinguish" him.
It's only fair.
not everyone has accents.
...
In my day we put the missing letters in and pronounced the words with a Marseilleis accent
and his VP George?
And another one goes and another one goes and another one bites the dust!
Hooah!
Merci pour les emissions gratuits, mes amis!
Information and music just wants to be free.
I read it in economics textbooks in tenth grade.
And in the original French as well.
