I think you missed the AC's point. Why is it the EPA's job to regulate such a kit? I could understand the DoT of the state, but the EPA? The only reason they claim regulatory ability is because of emissions (even though California has tougher standards) so any modification to the emission systems of your vehicle is illegal without their approval.

And have you seen the vehicles offered in CNG? They're just as awful and useless as the early hybrids (or even current hybrids). Not all of us are city dwellers who will never need to get off of a paved road.

Never mind the space junk, or that satellites orbit in figure-8 patterns and do get close to each other. Or that we get random rogue birds scooting about, or lose complete control of them sometimes. These are $500 million investments, I think it's safe to want them to be able to not hit other things if they go SkyNet.

A string of friend-of-the-court briefs shows a range of legal scholars, software companies and content creators are backing Viacom, which is arguing that the safe harbor provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act don't apply to YouTube.

Legal movies?

It's great that Netflix bears the cost of buying the crap from Hollywood, and I don't have to spend more than $10/month to see some of it. I've watched some pretty awful movies, and been able to turn them off or return them at no additional cost for the next movie.
