Great story

Yeah, I read an article about a month ago involving about the Mini-E program; they were skeptical, as the program involved $800 a month from the user to be involved. Folks that have that kind of dough to participate are more or less biased. That said, I really hope this program is successful.

The Smart car is a joke, period. A sick one at that. Do yourself a favor, Rassy, do not google the 2011 CR-Z. The concept car and idea made my heart pound. Seeing the specs and finished product is just another layer of recent disappointments I've got with the late model Hondas. Where did they...

Let's not forget one thing: for the past twenty years, most cars (both foreign and domestic,) with a few notable & expensive exceptions, suck. Now, when it comes to getting from point A to point B, I'm pretty much a minimalist. I want something reliable, efficient, and fun. Less is more for me...

Man, you literally made me barf in my mouth. Differential Equations. Man. I used to think I was good at math. Then I took that God-forsaken class. Dude. Word. Relating to DiffEqs, when I took that class about 15 years ago it was taught in an auditorium. Not a good sign. Then the prof...

Shucks, I was going to drop some witty word-play, and I see Toorbough beat me to the punch. Hopefully these dark companions are auspicious and dig your style, Zoot.

Yep, that could be the model I saw. Incidentally, I saw it the Saturday before last, over by the street market at Recoleta, on that wide diagonal street that goes to Quintaña. Dude, I tip my hat to anybody that rides in anything smaller than an armored car on those streets. Be safe. If you...

Saw quite a few bikes down there, couple of choppers, but no e-bikes. I am delighted to note that our neighbors to the south have e-skateboard technology. Saw a dude cruising at around 15 miles an hour, on a busy street between the Ricoleta and Ritiro barrios, on an electrically powered...

My apologies, Deron, I had misconstrued that you were advocating that helmets were not necessary.

Deron, what orafice did you, like, pull these stats out from?

njs, ??? On second thought, nevermind.

njs- What, pointing out facts? There are reasons why that quoted statement above is 100% false. America currently produces a plurality of the world's pharma research, and will likely always produce a plurality of the worlds pharma research. The principle reason is the federal government...

What prods the government to capriciously de-regulate? It isn't the regulators, it is the agents of the free-market. You want a close look at what an unregulated market, try the derivatives trading of the past decade. Who pushed to keep regulators out, promising that the free-market would...

I'm sorry, your youtube link returned the following: Yaron Brook on Capitalism, Question 6 - Ayn Rand Institute "An error occurred, please try again later." The other appears to be a 10k word synopsis on the history of the electric grid. Thanks? Pseudo-deregulation? Was that the one that...

Interesting that Libertarians are dissing their golden-child Greenspan. This the same flavor of denial you see Republicans and conservatives dish out when they try and distance their ideologies from Bush. Look, I caught Frontline last week, the one about Brooksly Born. The one about derivative...
