I'm getting me a tractor! J1587 is wide open, just buy the specs and you're all set ... Hmm or maybe a nice new bus, J1939 is the new shit for heavy duty ....

I went up to book 10 before I quit. After 5-6 it was going downhill, but I thought Winter's Heart put it back on the right track. Crossroads of Twilight was such drivel I quit halfway through it. I don't know why he did this, but Robert Jordan's female characters were complete and utter b*tches and FAILED in life constantly. I just couldn't understand he couldn't write in more rational female characters .... Reading anything about any of the female characters enraged and frustrated me.

I think the biggest problem some people have with the Global Warming issue is how it's presented. The people pushing it claim that the debate is over and there is a 100% consensus that we are fucked which is not the case. They are telling us the earth will heat up dramatically and the oceans will rise unless we take these drastic measure of reducing CO2 emissions. You ask what could be their motive aside from wanting to save the planet? I dunno ... maybe money. Shysters like Al Gore are looking to get rich of this. I think the bottom line is that there needs to be more research into Global Warming and it's causes, before we take these drastic measures. The temperature for the planet has been going up since the last ice age ... well only way is up from bottom. If our emissions are 100% responsible for this, why has the temperature gone down in the last couple of years while we have been hella emitting as usual? Some researchers claim that C02 levels in the atmosphere cap at a level where they trap heat, and further levels have marginal impact. Other researchers claim that the temperature readings(ground based) used to create the fear mongering campaign were faulty and irrelevant, that the atmospheric temperatures indicate that no warming has taken place. Who's right? I want to see these paths taken before drastic measure like sending a trillion fucking mirrors up into space at god knows what expense are taken. There are other sides to the debate which are never covered by the media. I found this an interesting documentary http://www.surfthechannel.com/episode/61506/32989.html. This was a pretty good read http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/magazine/29Dyson-t.html. There are tons of other online documentaries and articles that present rational counter arguments to what is in the media.

Don't forget about all the porn ... I think the internet is a testament to our insatiable hunger for boobies! ... and watching women with low esteem do unspeakable acts of depravity for free.

What's wrong with the tried and tested method? If Armageddon and Deep impact have taught us everything, it's that sending an emotionally unstable group of astronauts with a bunch of nukes will save most of the world ... not all of it, but most! What's that 80/20 % rule?

We have a pretty decent system in Calgary. The pay boxes are easily found downtown, and the payment is linked to your license plate so you don't need to go back to your car. Also payment via cellphone is available. All in all I like the new system compared to the old time meters.
