Why ask me something I've already answered? Because whether she made a bad decision or not is beside the question. If we were all liable to prosecution for bad decisions, there would be nobody left to pass judgement.

GM’s Plans for Chevy Volt Profitability (http://gm-volt.com/2010/12/02/gms-plans-for-chevy-volt-profitability/)
I'll match that with Who Killed The Electric Car (http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Killed_the_Electric_Car%3F), and why. ;)
Where would we be today, if the lawmakers had not relented on the Clean Air Standards at that time, and the EV1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1) had continued to develop? :rolleyes:
The film deals with the history of the electric car, its modern development, and commercialization.
The film focuses primarily on the General Motors EV1, which was made available for lease mainly in Southern California, after the California Air Resources Board passed the ZEV mandate in 1990 to combat urban air pollution.
Nearly 5000 electric cars were designed and manufactured by GM, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Nissan, and Chrysler; and then later destroyed.
Also discussed are the implications of the events depicted for air pollution, oil dependency, Middle East politics, and global warming.
The film details the California Air Resources Board's reversal of the mandate after relentless pressure and suits from automobile manufacturers, continual pressure from the oil industry, orchestrated hype over a future hydrogen car, and finally the George W. Bush administration.
A portion of the film details GM's efforts to demonstrate to California that there was no consumer demand for their product, and then to take back every EV1 and dispose of them. A few were disabled and given to museums and universities, but almost all were found to have been crushed.
GM never responded to the EV drivers' offer to pay the residual lease value ($1.9 million was offered for the remaining 78 cars in Burbank before they were crushed).
Several activists, including actresses Alexandra Paul and Colette Divine , are arrested in the protest that attempted to block the GM car carriers taking the remaining EV1s off to be crushed.
The film explores some of the motives that may have pushed the auto and oil industries to kill off the electric car. Wally Rippel offers, for example, that the oil companies were afraid of losing their monopoly on transportation fuel over the coming decades; while the auto companies feared short term costs for EV development and long term revenue loss because EVs require little maintenance and no tune-ups.
Others explained the killing differently. GM spokesman Dave Barthmuss argued it was lack of consumer interest due to the maximum range of 80–100 miles per charge, and the relatively high price.
The film also showed the failed attempts by electric car enthusiasts trying to combat auto industry moves, and save the surviving vehicles. Towards the end of the film, a deactivated EV1 car #99 is found in the garage of Petersen Automotive Museum, with former EV sales representative, Chelsea Sexton, invited for a visit.
The film also explores the future of automobile technologies including a deeply critical look at hydrogen vehicles, an upbeat discussion of plug-in hybrids, and examples of other developing EV technologies such as the Tesla Roadster (released on the market two years after the film).

Never pierced my face - ears and tongue - sure. Took the tongue thing out after I chipped a tooth while eating - not worth it.
The guy who pierced my tongue told me he does the prince albert (penis piercing) as well. He said the first one he did was on himself - ouch. He said he lost a ton of blood and later that night he and his wife went to Lounge Ax - a (defunct) local music club. One beer in his head started spinning, he hit the floor and broke his nose - man - what a dumba$$.Did he tell you this before or after he finished? http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11013&stc=1

I have a 2.66 15" Late 2008 MacBook Pro, my firmware matches the upgraded listing to allow 8GB of RAM. Pretty cool :)
actually the computer you are talking about was an early 2009 upgrade. they upgraded to a 2.66 ghz on the mbp 15" and also more on the 17" mbp. i have the same computer and got confused because the computer thinks its a late 2008 when apple considers it an early 2009. however it was still one that only supported up to 4 gb until this upgrade. cant wait to add 8 gb. just waiting to find some that are on sale for like $80

I haven't... only single GPU setups for me. I'd probably go with a GT120+4000 combo.Ive seen some frankenstein setups using multiple GPUs on the PC side but never heard of it on Mac.
I have a few 5870/5770 lying around here so Ill eventually try it.

Did anyone notice on the very beginning of the show "HD brought to you by Windows 7" ? I know this is probably coincidence, but its still not cool to do spoof like this if Microsoft is a sponsors. I kinda lost respect for the guy now, I don't know. Peace may be funny, but its still very distasteful to do 8 and a half minute clip, which is almost half of the show if Microsoft is a new sponsor. I mean come on.

Right. The Core 2 Duo's have been out how long...a month perhaps, and Apple is falling behind?
Unless they start giving thier software for free then they have no chance people can choose a good Windows on a pc or pay loads for a mac. Or they could just use Linux. Linux will probably beat both of them in the near future when they get more software included. I know personally I will be switching from Apple to linux on my pc in about 2 weeks when I can get everything backed up safely so I will have Linux and windows on 2 hdd's from this point there is no point in going back to mac since you can get everything you want in linux for free

It's working great for me locally. Over WAN I cannot say: NO ports seem to be working (even ones I used last week for VNC) which is not EyeTV's fault. I think it's an issue with AT&T DSL. I hope they haven't started blocking something intentionally. I'll try again tomorrow in the hopes that it's fixed. (I can't even traceroute to my home.)
Yep--must have been an AT&T issue of some kind. All my ports are working again today, and I can confirm that EyeTV + no-ip.com works for TV-watching over WAN :) Too cool. One more reason to love my EyeTV. And my rabbit ears!
EDIT: I just HAD to open my yap... It doesn't work anymore (not even on LAN). Unable to connect. Nothing has changed since earlier when it was fine. Will try again tomorrow.
EDIT2: It came back when I downloaded a newer build--link near the end of this page: http://support.elgato.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=3651&nav=0,1,388&languageid=1&group=englishdefault
(Also check your OS X Firewall for EyeTV stuff set to Block. I had it set to Allow and yet it once went to Block on its own somehow.)

hoping they upgrade the rest of the suite. I've got Studio 2 since I got it with an EDU discount and couldn't upgrade it, but I love having it in the same program set from start to finish; everything from Motion to FCP to color to DVD Studio Pro and compressor. I use it all as part of my workflow. it would suck to upgrade only one component and leave the rest sitting dusty on the shelf.

I wasn't attempting to connect to the network, no harm was being done
Well tell the teacher/IT geek/whatever they are that then, don't get defensive and see what they say. I'm sure if they are reasonable they'll give you your netbook back, if not then go and pay a visit to the school head and explain you can't do your homework until you get your netbook back, and also that you promise not to use in school again (if thats the reason it was confiscated form you in the first place - rules are rules don't argue just accept)
Good luck

Is it me, or are the decimal points on the photo for "Capacity" and "Available" both commas?
most european countries and other foreign countries outside the U.S. use commas as we use decimals. commas.
US: $299.99
OTher: $299,99
Oh, and I know 100% for sure that white iphones were shipped to WA AT&T stores for a release tomorrow.

If the iPhone is released the 12th, I really dont care exactly how it looks like or what it does, as long as I can make a call and play tunes, I will order it the second it is released.
Geez I love Apple too but I would actually care what the phone looks like and what it does. As far as you're concerned they could slap an Apple logo on a Nokia Engage and you would snatch that sucker right up. *L*

I should of caught that. Thanks for letting everyone know about that. I don't remember seeing this many people post issue after a firmware update. I will try mine later on.

It's easy to forget when watching these humorous videos that they are adverts for a blender. So think again when you call the video stupid, because whats $499 when it makes people remember your blender? I dunno about you guys but I might try to get a BlendTec blender when Im in the market for one next time.

Steve needs to use one in an area other than a huge city with great reception. The guy is delusional or a liar.
He uses it in the Bay Area where AT&T sucks and 9 out of 10 people are using an iphone which further degrades the network. I'm sure he knows how bad the problem is.
