The Roadster is on the same platform as the Exige/Elise. While it may not be on the same DOT waiver, Lotus is shutting down the tooling for that platform. The only reason I am saying it may not be on the same DOT waiver is I cannot find that part of the DOT website.


Either way the article is wrong, for one reason or the other that platform will no longer be made, this is really old news in the auto community. It is not being stopped because it was a failure.

Exactly, the Elise/Exige losses the DOT waiver for the old standard airbags later this year, hence the stoppage of sales of the Elise/Exige and Tesla Roadster.

The Riaa has only gone after people distributing the data, not people that had the data on their possession. In a court case the burden on proof on something that you own would fall to the RIAA and they would need to prove you did not access it legally. AFIAK all the people they have gone after they have logs with IP addresses that people where SHARING the music, not Downloading it.


Example I used to rip alot of music from internet music services, something that is legal to do under fair use. The Lic fee was paid by the already approved service by the RIAA. All I was doing was recording something that was "broadcasted" to me, which I am 100% allowed to do.


I would love for the riaa to prove that any music I have is illegally downloaded.

Well played joke. He wanted to land the monolith by parachute, and give a small sticker as the only reward for donating 100 bucks... Think about these things,


Well trolled sir, well trolled.

Yup exactly what I was thinking.

That's in Nevada and uses space lazzors

Only if you ignore Solar II that ran from 1996 to 1999....

I was thinking the exact same thing, now she needs to get married, and then a random murder and then things will start to get weird.

Agreed, the industry and game retailers already do this, it is not law but an agreement. I actually have little problem with this if we just use the current rating system and make it legal. The problem is this will be reported as a scare piece, and just add fuel to the fire that a 8 year old can go in and buy a mature rated game. They cannot. The other thing that irks me is all the teens playing mature rated games. Dear parents this one is up to you to enforce, if you want to to use electronics as a digital nanny make sure your nanny is teaching them things that you approve of.


The internet has way way worse things on it... Hey Parents that are complaining, are you watching your kids internet usage???

this... You have no expectation of privacy on corp email.

This is what I was thinking also.

Yes he is right and flat wrong. As California is not buying books for the next couple of years to save money, Texas buys new books every year and it is the same book across the state. The choice of book changes every year. Texas is the biggest market by far for school books, so Bio and Social Studies tend to get slanted towards Texas far to the right mentality esp in Local government. So yes books are not tailored individually, but on a whole they are tending to be more focused towards Texas's biases in an attempt to get more sales there as CA is not buying books over the next few years.

The ones in SoCal have 2 systems a video system as well as a Camera to show you are in the intersection on a red. If you fight it, they will bring the video to show you did in fact enter on red and not yellow.

also here is a link of what happened in Costa Mesa CA with to short of a yellow... lets just say everyone got refunded... http://www.highwayrobbery.net/redlightcamsdocsCostaMesaMain.html

No more posting in the nude.

Yup that was what I was going to say. Perma death free for all rules, massive death penalty all here.. i mean in the Eve universe.
