Can someone invest as much into the quality of the content, as they are doing for the format?
By "content", I am not just concerning myself with the visual appeal or other superficial characteristic.
The EPA standards have been updated twice. That car would rate far less than 50 MPG today. Your anecdote is not reproducible, was not performed in a scientific manner, and the "knees-under chin" method of conveyance doesn't really meet with practical standards.
Yes. I'm afraid a mile isn't what it used to be...
Nor are the back-seats of compact sedans, for that matter.
It sounds like you guys had a fun week.
Well, I moved to SF 3 months later... With my whole band.
That was in a Ford pickup. In the back... Sitting on the case for my bass guitar.
It almost makes you wonder if the automakers may have exaggerated the costs of compliance, the way they always do.
I mean really. Was there ever anyone who actually thought that 25mpg was really the best a small sedan could muster?
In 1978, the American roads were filled with a little car, that did 50 EMPG. The Datsun B-210.

I need some input from the Lawn Crowd, did it feel like this in the Watergate days? I'm getting the horrible feeling that after a nice quiet 90's with nothing but a fun little sex scandal we're seeing a whole different class of nastiness today.
No, it wasn't like this.
Watergate was a relatively singular event, which elicited widescale public outrage. You couldn't go anywhere without it being a topic of convesation and dispute.
This is one of ten-thousand such outrages, perpetrated over the past decade. Like most of them, people don't know of it happening, or why it might even be wrong.
Sleep tight, America.

Running Linux in a VM on Windows is like strapping yourself to the outside of a car with a seatbelt.
If you wish to understand why Microsoft might offer to "support" CentOS on Hyper-V, I suggest you don your tinfoil Homburg, and review the Groklaw link: http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20080505113024239
Sandeep is the same fellow who wrote this nice letter from Microsoft.
Where's Mrs. O'Leary's cow, when you need her?
Orrin Hatch. Like Dick Armey or Richard Lugar.
These are names that would be considered preposterous, as fictional characters.
