really? I have nothing to hide, but I’m bothered by it. By asking somebody for a fingerprint, it’s an implied accusation that they have done something wrong.

- There is no actual shortage of food. We just eat far more than we actually need in the ‘western’ world.
- The future of cars isn’t electric. While there have been fantastic advances in electric car technology over the past couple of decades, thanks to the long charging times and (relatively) short battery lifespan and expense to have them replaced, it’s more of a stopgap solution. Hydrogen is the true future of automobile propulsion. It can be used as a fuel in existing engine designs as well as being stored in fuel cells for future conversion to electricity. Plus, unlike conventional electricity storage, when you run out of it, you can refill in minutes at a pumping station.
That is, of course, once the challenges surrounding hydrogen storage & manufacture have been solved.

Yes, but even Nullsoft acknowledged that Winamp3 was shit. Winamp 5, though. That’s awesome. I’ve not found any MP3 playing software that can match it.

well if you’re doing cars as status symbols, why not the Cizeta V16t? Only a handful ever made, styling based on a Lamborghini Diablo prototype (before Chrysler softened it up – imagine that! The Diablo is softer than the original designs!), and it has an utterly bonkers sideways V16 engine! With the gearbox in the middle of it!
AND it only costs a cool half million to pick one up today!

I am the exact opposite – cooked tomato is vile to me, and raw is delightful with salt & pepper. Assuming it’s a nice tomato to start with, that is.

They’re nice in moderation, but they need to be cooked properly – which they never are by most people.

About time. Now give me back my damned Start Menu. That stupid “Start Screen” is beyond annoying on a big monitor.
