"Electric cars aren't for everybody. They only meet the needs of 90% of the population."
How often does the average person drive more than 100 miles a day (save for the ridiculous commuters an hour away from work)?
Also, neat thing about plug-in hybrids - they can use gas if you need to go farther.
But, let's just ignore that and pretend like we're fine and dandy sucking down 100 million barrels a day (worldwide) (conservative estimate)
The point in getting into it is to spread information.
If there's something going on that I don't know about, I want to learn about it. That's just how I am. Unfortunately, googling "america subverting to muslims" turns up something about how electing liberals will make America an Islamic theocracy.
Please enlighten me.
Because abortion clinic bombings, enviromentalist attacks et al. (I'm sure you could google for non-muslim terror attacks, there's plenty out there.) aren't problems at all.
Granted, christians aren't bringing down skyscrapers (Though Oklahoma city bombing was close), but neither have 'muslims,' I'd say that terrorism isn't actually a big issue right now, it's just made out to be.
If the media just reported some madmen flew airlines into WTC, called it a tragedy and got over it, would we be in this mess right now?
I think this is where the real story should be -- I can understand plenty of college liberals being predetermined to resist arrest, but why was he being arrested? Was his commentary and continued questions that terrible that police would chose to step in and physically restrain him?
Now, I'm not an expert, but I've studied this stuff.
Everything else does indeed move, but not by the same amount. Other pitches are determined using a certain formula, sort of like centrigrate to farenheite formula, just because one goes up the other doesn't go up by the same amount.
Terrible analogy.
But I think maybe you get the point. Other notes might be less different. Or maybe *guessing* we're use to other notes wavering around, but the tone of the A sticks with us.
I don't know.
I think that proves that the response time to a BS entry that was widely televised as going to happen is 15 seconds.
Smaller vandalizations and changing / adding BS facts around goes unnoticed for a little longer, I imagine.
Now, I'm not sure so correct me if I'm wrong (which is probably, but I believe the deal is that there is an emusic mobile clinet to download directly to the phones sans iphone.
Maybe?
Otherwise, yeah, I don't see where there would be a problem.
Absolutely. They got 45 attempts to win $1000. They should pay for that.
Now, I know the following is a flawed analogy because nothing physical is stolen with the slow machine, but if you steal scratch-off lottery games and don't win anything, you still stole the attempts.
...think this is a very good way to spend money.
If money is put into school system, it might be to build new gyms, give teachers a 20 cent raise, maybe a few more computers; if money is put into writing articles for wikipedia, money goes straight to making information available to the public. Very truly making it a 'free encyclopedia' and a reliable compendium of knowledge.
I think it could also be beneficial to mark wikipedia articles written by certified professionals on the subject, or something similar.
I use "Microsoft Plus! Analog Recorder" to record albums from Yahoo! Unlimited with the cable from line-out to line-in trick, effectively ignoring Microsoft DRM with their own software.
I don't think that's how it works.
If a submitter posts an image on a website that, as part of the TOS, says you don't have the copyright anymore, the submitter practically waives his copyright. So all images on the website would be public domain.
Other websites say 'by uploading the image, you still keep all your copyrights and ownership of the images, we're just hosting them', I imagine TPB says 'No, no copyright for you. Public Domain' or something of the sort.
But I could be wrong, I haven't read TPB's TOS.
Well, then you didn't look.

In the midwest, it's impossible to find a gas station that DOESN'T have 10% ethanol blend. Even if it did burn cleaner, I've heard that my car, specifically, gets 2-3mpg more when filled up at stations without ethanol. But I don't have a choice to go with the more effecient burning fuel, because farmers had legislation to encourage the sale of ethanol.
As an above commenter pointed out, farmers are rejoicing. Demand is up, profits are up, everybody's happy. Except everyone else. The people who have to pay for everything.
Frankly, I hadn't thought about people starving because of increased prices. I find it disgusting, and don't know how companies rationalize starving people for increased profit margin. Are companies not run by people? People who know what's going on in the world, people who know that their policies are killing people?/rant.
I think it answers the question quite well:
The fact that the laws that govern how people live are bought by corporations is what's wrong with our society.
Reminds me of Wayne's world to.
Anyway, just for fun:
"I can't wait for the entire world to be on cellular telephones. The cellular service and call quality have gradually gotten worse to the point that most of the... guessed...?"
I'm curious as to what that says.
regarding harsh enviroments, does anyone know if e-paper IS robust? being able to "simply roll it up, stick it in a tube and keep on going" would definitely be great, I'm just curious how far the tech has gotten as far as real-world usability. Maybe that's why it hasn't caught on?
This just gave me an awesome idea: E-Paper post-its!
Imagine having standard looking post-its around your moniter, or your office, or wired down to your kitchen (or, as long as I'm dreaming, wireless) that change corresponding to your Outlook to-do or however you wish to program them. That'd be rad.
And some stuff tacked onto a bulletin board.
I just love the idea of just tacking a screen to something.

Hey...wasn't there some cartoon about someone accidently showing up 1000 years into the future and having to adjust?
Well, "Primarily used for domestic calls" is pretty close to "mostly domestic".
His sideburns, however, are cleanly shaven.

'this', of course, being reducing a huge amount of CO2 emission. Still, 34,000 sq km is about the size of Ireland. 7 Million acres. Its a lot of land.

I have 2 questions about that: Why is the bird on a turtle? Also, what's the turtle standing on? :P

Not to mention the fact I would never have the ability to actually get around to making epaper post its myself.
