Nah, it's not more efficient it's just cheaper for the School District. You seen the price of diesel fuel lately?

They already do stream to Linux platforms in the form of Roku and Android.

With an on-board nuclear reactor and being surrounded by a massive heatsink floating in water I'm not sure how big of a problem electricity and cooling will be.

"...but it might save your bacon."

I prefer may bacon cooked, thank you very much!

So when the all coal miners move to get high speed intarwebz what will you do when the lights go out on the East Coast?

I came here looking for this comment and someone commenting on the "Globals" device from Earth:Final Conflict.

It's a shame you're buried so deep!

Is an earthquake a more likely event than a flood in Manhattan?

Your "Go Big Red" comment was very confusing.

In the MidWest and Rocky Mountains "GBR" is almost exclusively referring to the Nebraska CornHusker's and their various sports teams.

I don't know if their use of GBR pre-dates Cornell's but you should be aware that it apparently has regional contexts.

Oh, and UNL has a kickass EE program.

"A golden age lasted until the christians and muslims destroyed it."

That's a fairly bold assertion. Historians are not at all sure who, or even WHEN, the Library of Alexandria was destroyed.

"They manage their supply chain quite well and know when a new model is about to be released to cut back production."

Mmmmm, this is why you can still buy an iPhone *4* over at the Verizon store, right?

The problem ain't weight, it's aeros. Despite its smaller size most motorcycles have far worse aeros than many cars.

I was with you until you go to the transmission. Lock up torque convertors are nearly universal in automatic transmissions.

Since you don't know that simple detail I'm forced to wonder how much of the rest of your post is also ignorant.

Also the 90's Metro much touted for its high mileage was a HUGE, and stripped to the bone, pile of junk, something that its praise singers always forget.

Spoken like someone who hasn't tried to pair an iPhone with anything.

I have, twice, and it's so crippled it's ridiculous.

You didn't read the link I provided did you? If you had you wouldn't have asked that question.

You register to vote by providing an acceptable form of ID that proves Citizenship, among other things. Within 30 days they will send you a Voter Registration Certificate.

When you go to vote you take the VRC with you and you're golden.

If you don't have your VRC with you then you may still vote but you will have to show some I.D. to prove who you are.

Read the link, it's all clearly spelled out. Moryath's Guardian link is crap and so is their argument.
