>All diesels in the 70s where gutless. Heck simple truth was all cars in the US in the 70s where pretty gutless
I hate to break it to ya, but most muscle cars come from that era, and with some over 400hp stock, you would have to be ____ (insert your fruity comment here) to miss this....!
Only the early 70s...the rest were anemic at best. The 1977 Trans Am 6.6L was only rated at 200hp.
I went to Oregon Tech in the late 80s...there was a Diesel Tech professor there that put a 5.7 diesel in an 80s Corvette. At the time I thought he was nuts...
Its not so much IP as an entry back into the US market. In this deal, Chrysler gets to build small cars based on Fiat platforms (500 and Panda), and Fiat gets Chrysler manufacturing plants in Mexico to build cars for North & South America, as well as Chrysler's dealer network (whats left of it).
The same goes for the concept that increasing percentages of the collective gases known as Greenhouse gases" will cause heat retention in the atmosphere. That last sentence is an absolute fact, as has been proven in many Junior High science fairs for many years. It isn't complicated. So first thing is to accept the fact, unless you want to be like the two groups I mentioned above
I believe that. But I also know that the largest "greenhouse gas" is water vapor. And CO2 by some counts only represents 10%-25%. So I just dont buy the theory that the gas that may be as little as 10% of our atmosphere is causing most of the problem. I honestly think that ego has more to do with this theory than anything else. Some people just cant accept that it could still be a natural occurrence. That we (humans) are not in control.
Nice generalization. Well, just for the record, I believe in Evolution, chemtrails are for the nutbag Art Bell crowd, and we did land on the moon. Several times.
I completely agree we should move away from fossil fuels. I also agree that the climate is changing. But that humans are responsible for catastrophic climate change, not so much. I think that humans inhabiting the planet while it is happening is coincidence, and our egos go into overdrive thinking we are the cause, and fix, of everything.
Making money has NOTHING to do with the subject of climate change? Bullshit. It may not have started that way, but thats where it is now. Its what is the driving force. Why else would there be carbon credits? The liberal elite are doing EXACTLY what people bitched about the Neocons doing over the last couple decades. Becoming rich at the expense of the poor & middle class.
But I guess since the left is driving this train, everything is "okey dokey".
At least we're winning the battle against something!
Of course climate change is happening. It always has. The question are WHAT is happening, and HOW the information is treated. If anyone, including noted scientists, say anything remotely the opposite of the climate change cabal, they are run out of town, belitted by their peers. They have their jobs & credentials taken away. That sounds more like the status quo is trying to hide something to me.
When I was growing up, I was always taught to question the mainstream. But if you do that when it comes to climate change, you are labeled a nut.
And now we all these new fangled ways to make money from climate change. And I guarantee you, the poor & middle class will be the ones paying.
The rich just buy their way out with carbon credits.
If we could fire bad teachers, we could get rid of the concept of merit pay, incentives and all the other band-aid-on-a-broken-arm solutions.
Merit pay? So you are saying rewarding teachers for good performance is not good? Please explain. Here in Oregon, the teacher's union has the state by the balls, and a lot of critics of the system are holding up merit pay as a better idea.
I have found replacement parts on Craigslist. A couple years ago I got a free Thinkpad T22 from a neighbor that had a bad lcd (his kid punched it). I found the same model on Craigslist with a bad motherboard for dirt cheap. I just swapped the whole lid, took about an hour. I also have a backup hard drive, dvd drive, and memory in case something else goes.
Still works today. We use it for surfing, email, kids use it for watching movies, etc.
Didnt this guy just can all of his management for incompetence or something? I read (Car & Driver IIRC) they were telling the board the cost of building a roadster was $65k, and they were selling them for $92k. Turns out the real cost of building the car was $140k.
I think the gubmint should make sure the people he has running the place are up to the task before giving them any more money.
And FOX can no longer count on a pet federal government giving them an easy ride of it.
Right, that benefit would be reserved for MSNBC now.

while it may look like a choice of rice and chicken versus chicken and rice, until you can get the menu to expand you pick one of the two or you don't eat.
What can someone do to expand this menu other than vote third party and volunteer for a third party campaign?
But isnt that IRS code is based on if someone was making taxable income doing it? I could only see that as relevant if I was selling pirated software/movies/music. If I am downloading for myself, Im not generating income that would normally be taxed.
Microsoft doesnt care about whether or not Americans have jobs. Wasnt Bill Gates in the news recently bitching at Congress because he wants more H1B Visa workers allowed here?
They can force it if its something they can control...like automobiles. My parents used to live in Cali near the Oregon border. The nearest city with a car dealership was in Oregon. If they bought a car there, and went to register it in Cali, the state would charge them the sales tax on the purchase price when they registered the car. That could be a ton of money. Eventually the dealerships (in Oregon) started including the CA sales tax in the purchase price for out of state buyers.
When I can read the EULA before I purchase something, we'll talk. Until then, EULA's mean nothing. That irks me more with software though. They all say if you dont like the EULA, you can return it. Except no place will take software back that has been opened.
Cover up.
Hell, even here in Portland, Oregon, the new mayor held a press conference today and said he lied about a sexual relationship with a teen boy.

By "credentials", I meant jobs & job titles, not necessarily their degrees. Sorry, poor word choice. But here is one who was slapped down in Oregon- http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_020607_news_taylor_title.59f5d04a.html And here is a prominent scientist that has been crapped on by his peers for not following the status quo- http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/magazine/29Dyson-t.html

I bet if I showed this new video to the average 12 year old, they'd think it was some kind of internet sketch comedy thing.

I wonder what they will find if they investigate some of the "peer reviewed" journals about climate change?
Is it sad that in society we are left to decide which crooks we like slightly better?
Why not? Its how our political system works, why should purchasing electronics be any different?

Thats just it....they are not "your" DLLs in the first place. Read the EULA.
