Okay, now I'll just wait for the cyanogen mod to be available for Sync before buying a Ford. I wonder how binary those firmware updates are . . .

No, but I don't log into Apple's website to say that I don't want their stuff. I do, however, send requests for vehicles with clean diesel engines to be sold by my local Ford, GM, Mazda and Toyota dealers in the US. I think maybe if they hear that there's consumer demand I might be able to get one at some point. It's just a consumer saying "Hey guys, this new thing is neat, but it'd be really nice if it had xyz widget. In fact, once it has xyz widget, I'll buy it."

Oh no, don't tell me . . . He had videos of Ms. Piggy molesting Kermit.

I knew she was crazy, but that's nucking futs.

If you're talking about shoes for hiking, you can also add that they're designed to protect against broken ankles. Same thing for motorcycle boots, as well as hold up to extreme adverse weather and impact resistance.

All of the euthanasias in the US are against the will of the person dying, we just use the euphemism "death penalty". I'm constantly amazed at how the side that's "Pro-Life" is so intent on killing adults.

And I see nothing in that link that suggests that the EPA is interested in legislating, controlling or regulating human breathing. I do notice, specifically, that motor vehicles are singled out. It doesn't mention Methane gas from livestock, coal power plant emissions, or any other industrial emissions. There is no one out there trying to regulate the CO2 in the air you exhale. Motor vehicles emit far more CO2 than you do when you breathe.

I'd say that I should have seen the WSJ link and should have remembered not to feed the trolls, but that would be an abusive ad hominem fallacy. Your argument isn't wrong because I think you're a troll. Your argument is wrong because it contains a fallacy. Your fallacy is the classic Straw Man. The EPA says CO2 from cars falls under their jurisdiction and will be regulated. You over simplify and twist that to suggest that all CO2 produced then falls under the EPA's jurisdiction. You attack the misinterpretation with your breathing example.

Sources owned by Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp are no longer considered non-biased. Anyone could then counteract your argument citing moveon.org or a lefty publication. I do believe that regulating breathing is a good idea, though. Everyone should do it before responding to this type of FUD. No legislation necessary.

Now listen here, Anonymous Coward

The publicity is worth far more than they're paying in the suit. Streisand was already famous in 2003, this campground's 15 minutes of fame were over once the headlines stopped. Suing Google gets their name alongside Google's name, and the press coverage it brings is significant. I'd say they've already won. All they need to do now, as someone else mentioned, is build something that is very tasteful and respectful of those who died. Perhaps they could sponsor legislation for better safety standards after their lawyers are done losing a suit they don't expect to win.

It looks a lot more like Blender to me, too much 3d in there to be Photoshop.

"Standing on what little land exists here, you watch a giant red [valid soul with a high degree of vertical challenge] sink slowly into the horizon of a hot ocean."

Sure, the average has been cut in half, but there's still an average of more than 1 problem per vehicle sold. How can they claim that "Bad cars have gone extinct"? I'd like to see that tagline when it's measured in under 9 problems per thousand cars.

As far as more effective at letting air into the engine, I noticed a significant improvement in my wife's Mazda Protege, which had 30k miles on it when the filter was installed. It's had the same air filter since then, cleaned 8 times, and now has 268k. I think it's also as effective at filtering the air as the paper filters.

Yep, court battles, just what we need to make power less expensive.

You're the constant because you're the one narrating that story. The problem with that theory is that no one is constant. You grow, learn and get better at how you handle life. Either that or you stab someone for cutting off your drug money, get incarcerated, and learn life's lessons the hard way.
