You can't possibly say that the rolling blackouts and brownouts of the California power grid are "normal operating procedures" for a power system working within it's capacity, let alone a sign they have any surplus room for recharging electric vehicles.
The DoE has stated that most of the Eastern Seaboard could support the energy requirements of every single car used for commuting today, without any changes to transmission or power production, as long as the cars are charged at night.
Which coast is California on again? If the East can really supply power without too great a loss to CA, when night starts (in Summer) for the Eastern Seaboard, what time is it in California? 5-6pm, when CA's set-back thermostats start cooling the houses more aggressively again? Why isn't CA currently using power from the east for cooling when there's demand?
Most companies progressive enough to upgrade to XP SP3 have probably already upgraded to Win7. Companies with special needs that SP2 provides (read: poorly written specialty software that takes advantage of holes in SP2) will still be using SP2. Of course, they probably don't use these machines on the internet or at least they're heavily firewalled.
There are two types of people in the world: people who think there are two types of people in the world and people who don't. I'm among the first type and I think the world is divided into people who think there are two types of people in the world and people who don't.
Fixed that for you. Unless of course you meant that gentiles are the people who think there are two types of people, and that being Jewish prevented one from thinking there are only two types of people. Then I suppose you'd being internally consistent in your argument.
The rest of your troll post is the usual insane ravings of a KKK member. Go back to 1930's Germany and sign up for the Nazi Party, Adolf.
The real problem here is that computer data (here referring to song files) is the only truly infinite resource that has ever existed on the planet. A digital copy of a CD could be copied an infinite number of times without any loss of quality. How do you regulate that?
Forget regulating it. Abuse it. Copy some data so many times that you owe the RIAA a Googolplex times the total value of the world's money. Prove the point that data has little to no value on its own by the absurdity of the scenario.
How many Americans back and support milking BP for everything they have? 90%?
Probably only 90% in the south. Not everyone cares about the gulf. I've only seen it once, and while it sure is a bad thing happening, real human evil is happening a lot closer to my home. BP's evil was carelessness. I doubt they were scheming in their boardroom: "I've got the perfect plan. We'll blow up a deep sea oil rig and cover the gulf in oil. Muahahaha! All hail Big Oil!" My city's got cops happy to beat people for breathing, drug dealers happy to shoot kids because they were good target practice, and other kinds of intentional evil. Friends of mine west-northwest of the gulf are dealing with worse stuff than me, and I doubt they're thinking about the oil much at all.
I used to be in that same position, but then man man changed my life.
I tried to figure out what man man does, but I had some problems. Can you help me? $ man man man --Man-- next: man(1) [ view (return) | skip (Ctrl-D) | quit (Ctrl-C) ] q^C
Go ahead, let them cheat. They'll be paying for it once they get a job based on their "degree" and suddenly realize they don't know fuckall about what they're doing.
No, We'll all be paying for it because those losers will be playing musical chairs with companies; learning to look good in interviews, but making us do their work until they're terminated.
I remember the female from Total Recall with the 3rd cone, but I never knew there were women with four sets(!). That's eight, right?
Who cares about UV sight?
Won't a "save" or two totally screw with the AI's pattern matching since the gas isn't building up the same way as it would have? It will have to let a lot go pop before learning a new pattern.
Or enjoy the sites, look around, talk on the video-phone. I wonder how many people might treat it as a stationary treadmill and just jog in place in the slow lanes.
Isn't this the problem that Segways were supposed to fix?
No. Segways fix the problem of a lack of @%^*ers driving really fast on the sidewalk and whipping around corners scaring the crap out of pedestrians. Bicyclists at least ring a bell or call out "on your right" or slow down around walkers. I wish segways had spokes I could put a stick in.
I don't know about that. The link to view all of "Robin"'s dupe^Wfriends would be interesting. I kind of want to see if she and I have any friends in common.
As much as I hate to admit it, it does look way too similar to a lightsaber.
And a lightsaber looks way too close to a Regallis Engineering FastTurn-3 Hydrospanner. Lucas better watch out or else a galaxy-spanning company with a long history is going to sue (or maybe start a trade embargo).

Alternatively, can a descendant of mine provide a DNA sample sometime in the far future and inadvertently "include" me in the system?
Are you afraid this will make it easier for skynet to find you (now that phone books are passe)?

It looks like something from Warhammer 40K, or a Hannibal Lector movie.

Remember back when you had to find a land line to call for help?
Remember back when land lines were on almost every street corner?
Now we're up in arms because a wireless device is not 100% reliable and it became very clear in an emergency situation.
Because the telephone companies have removed almost all of the payphones?
Necessity is the mother of invention, sufficiency is her lazy childless brother, and opulance is the serial killer who lives next door.

Some humans seem to be able to see a little further into UV, but nothing like chickens or certain insects.

So are they trying to advocate an insecure Hash in their logo? Why, in this day and age, didn't they use a different hash algorithm?
Maybe there's a hash collision with their sekret mission statement?
