What a horrible title but par for the course around here.

From the horses mouth:

Also the full text of the exemption is here: http://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2011/06/29/2011-16222/terrafugia-inc-grant-of-application-for-temporary-exemption-from-certain-requirements-of-fmvss-no

I saw this article a few hours ago, bought the game, and finished it just a few minutes ago.

$5 seems about right. While yes the music and art are very beautiful and the narrative intriguing $20 seems to be asking a bit much for a game of such short length and non-existence re-playability.

Rent control.

The problem is if any of your friends used an app or took quiz that means all of your information was compromised also.

Right-click Desktop -> Personalize -> at the bottom under "Basic and High Contrast" choose Windows Classic.

Then right-click Taskbar -> Properties -> under "Taskbar Appearance" check "use small icons"

I like those helmet mounted mirrors, I see them on bicyclists sometimes when they ride by the house. Makes me think of some cool futuristic personal HUD.

...Which I guess is still dorky. But its a good dorky cos it's cool.

Considering that idle for Volt won't be like idle for a normal ICE vehicle I don't imagine heavy traffic or sitting time to affect its range. Consider the amount of torque required for the motor to generate to get the vehicle moving, then the amount needed to say run the gauge clusters, climate control, Nav, its definitely nowhere near. How the vehicle actually handles the power requirements of varying loads is still a mystery, so its speculation.

Also I see you mentioning a two seater, the Volt is a mid-size(?) sedan and with the range extending gas engine it can go as far as you want. From other blogs I've read that the Volt still achieves 50mpg when running exclusively on gasoline (no prior charge) so that's still rather impressive I think at least.

Or to fine tune your analogy: a kid has borrowed their parents car and placed a copy of the tax return, bank statement, whatever, in plain view on the dash or passenger seat and parked it on a public street.

If you never (as in never-ever) went on a trip longer than 40 miles round-trip and recharged to full after each trip, yes, your Volt would get infinity miles per gallon essentially because you would never be using the gasoline engine and thus never use any gasoline.

The Ford Fiesta is coming stateside, probably in 2010 as a 2011 model, check: http://www.fiestamovement.com/

Ford is in the process of transitioning to using more European based models in the states, or rather shifting to a global-model rather than; sexy European Focus and ugly-stick-beaten North America Focus. This began last year, also in this plan was the use of more EcoBoost (smaller displacement, forced-induction) engines which is already beginning to appear in Fords line-up.

My guess is the conversations go like this:

Front-line Manager: We need to encrypt our dataz.
Middle Manager: How much will this cost?
Front-line Manager: (insert any number)
Middle Manager: No.

Me thinks these MIT students have been chugging too much Mountain Dew while cramming for final exams. Unless this is actually for a class...

Subtext being that this WowPod is basically a diorama of slightly higher quality than that of a 5th grader but is deemed newsworthy by being contexted with World of Warcraft and having been done by MIT students.

In a business setting I wouldn't be worried about viruses so much as the BSA coming down on you like a hammer.

Could you give some examples? I don't feel like googling for "young one complain language foss project crappy fork code get distro use".

Ok dammit I just did, first result was your parent comment.

I hate you.
