I wonder if you could use the on-board thunderbolt to get good communication between nodes?

My Dad carried one. I was in awe when he brought it home. The charging dock, spare batteries, it kept me as a kid in constant amazement. I remember him writing the passwords on the bezel in pencil since it flashed for like 30 seconds and then disappeared, and he couldn't memorize it in that amount of time.He had it the last few years before he retired in '95 after a 35 year stint. He was a CE for the Fed Reserve in NYC.

Depends, that's for certain values of "soon".
Example: "Soon, the sun will asplode."

My kingdom for a mod point.

Thanks, I really was wondering how they had Newton Meter values.

I would give my birth certificate for a mod point for you.

How so? My guess is that a 32MPG vehicle probably weighs in at 2500 pounds, while the 10MPG beast could weigh in at 3 tons. so for the smaller car to do "more damage" as people have stated that it's somewhere between x^3 or x^4 so 2.4^3.5 (I averaged them) gives you 21.4 times. so if the 10MPG car drives 1100 miles, it does the same damage as if I circumnavigated the Earth in the smaller vehicle.

In Malaysia, (when I was there in 2006) they actually tax your car based on the displacement of the engine (two different rates for gas/diesel) So a 3 cylinder 1.1 liter car got taxed at $110 a year (or some number, I don't recall the actual Malaysian ringgits) and a 4 liter would be $400 a year. They excluded delivery trucks and farm vehicles, but for passenger vehicles, which is why in KL a lot of people traveled by .3L scooters. I think we need a class system of weights blended with the displacement of the engine, so a large yukon denali hybrid gets taxed more than a prius.

I don't know enough about the case, but I find the whole google maps thing fishy... If he's really a CCIE with VOIP, tha'ts one thing, but browsing for dumping locations on google maps? Not clearing the cache, or browsing while "logged in" with your gmail ID? Sounds pretty Novice to me. Heck, I even switch browsers when I want to use any site that tracks me when I'm logged in. (though not for dumping bodies, well that I've been convicted of...) But seriously, I am not a foil hat wearer, but google searches on his computer, and missing shoes and a space in the garage make it sound like someone (or more) on the prosecution team wanted a slam dunk case.

I wonder if there will be a legal battle against egg-dye and Platform as a Service?

I've had my 2Gen kindle now for just over 2 years. I have 4 more friends on my account, so we can buy a book "Once" and then all 5 of us get to read it concurrently. My friends and I have read over 200 books in 26 months. I like charging it once a month roughly, (about the time I load a few more books on it as well)

Both, as long as their under 13 and can keep a secret.

Ha! At first I was thinking of Captain Jack Harkness from Torchwood. the best stuff starts around 3minutes in. Definitely not the G-Guy

I Malaysia, when I was there a few years ago, they had a "tax" that was part of the registration fees. It was proportional to the cubic inches of displacement for the engine in the vehicle. (there was a slightly lower version for diesel since they typically are larger.) I don't recall what the actual fee was, but let's say it's $1 per inch^3 per year. Now all those Hemi drivers pay an additional $350/$390 a year, and if you drive a 2 liter car, it's $122, or $10 a month. What they need to use those funds for are solely infrastructure funds, no salaries, no personnel, just materials. Then our bridges/roads could be maintained easily. (the current gas tax could take over the burden of the salaries and "middle management crap"
