The Clone Wars: Chinese copy banned from Europe {Autoblog}
Jul 23rd 2008 3:44PM its things like this this, and many other global political decisions made by the country of china (continued support of Sudanese govt - "we'll buy your oil, as long as you continue to buy our weapons...who care about darfur") that make me not even afraid to say:
I HATE CHINA.

CAFE standards, for the last 3-6 months have had NOTHING to do w/ the big three, eh ford and gm, scrambling to sell smaller cars.
the fact is, they couldn't sell a full size truck of suv if they tried, they can't even give them away. even toyota is putting tundra and sequoia factories on hiatus. people just dont want those big ass cars anymore, its all about current oil prices, not CAFE standards. a change in CAFE standards would show a shift in production over years, not toyota, ford, gm, and chrysler slowing and shutting down big truck plants within months of each other.

Jul 22nd 2008 11:53PM so i guess when apple comes out w/ a 120 gig ipod, and you only have a 30 thats a forced upgrade. Or when sony comes out w/ a ps3 and still sells the ps2 thats another forced upgrade for you. and how bout those stupid car manufacturers forcing you to switch out your car every 5 years when the new model drops. those asshats.
point being, its not a forced upgrade until its NO LONGER supported. kinda like xp wont be supporter any longer many many years down the road.

he's not blind? ok...peep this scenario: if he's checking out an ipod that is DIRECTLY in front of him, lets say 1 foot away, he sees that ipod about as well as the average person would see an ipod at 400 (FOUR HUNDRED) feet away. i'm sorry, if thats not blind (legally blind, which he is) that i dont know what your definition is.
ICP Solar to integrate solar chargers into Nissans, dead batteries be gone {Engadget}
Jul 22nd 2008 11:40PM this is so off topic, but i'm posting anyways.
But when i was in high school about 8 years ago, i told one of our campus security guys (hermie old retired marine from vietnam) that one of the students left their lights on in the parking lot. he just looked at me and said, "eh...dont worry about it, they're doing the new diehard battery test." i laughed my ass off actually. but after school is was pretty shitty to see the girl walking around to see if anyone had jumper cables. looking back on it, i realize just how classically lazy hermie was. funny guy
