An interesting look at the history of Nintendo's game consoles and offerings. The only one that I didn't know about was their weird tennis game that sounds like a knock off of pong that preceded the original NES.
It's nice to read a story like this, where people who behave violently and unprofessionally end up getting busted. These two punks deserve the arrest and prosecution that they're getting now for the way they behaved. From the sounds of it, they ought to be lucky that neither of them were killed in self-defense by the people whose car they were repossessing. The way they handled it was a recipe for disaster.
Apparently people who are type A can change into type B people and vice versa. That is good news for me, I suppose, since I am generally very type B about most things, including my job.
Jim Bovard has been posting on behavior of the police at the National Police Week rally in DC and he's gotten some real fan mail from one cop who made a semi-indirect comparison to the dangers that police face and the current situation in Baghdad. Excuse the hell out of me, but the average cop will never in their lifetime face organized, armed resistance aimed at systematically eradicating their presence from the city. They'll never face the threat of having explosive devices strategically placed throughout civilian areas to blow their cruisers apart. They won't have to worry about randomly getting shot by snipers. In short, most cops will only face the possibility of becoming random victims of violence, rather than victims of systematic, pre-meditated and highly organized violence which is what's to be found in a warzone. It is sickening and offensive to our military that any police officer in the United States would compare policing to soldiering in terms of daily danger when both are sent to really do their jobs.
With a car like this one, Honda is no doubt going to end up owning the market for fuel cell cars! It may not be as sexy as something like the 2007 Civic Si Coupe, but the FCX's new version looks like the start of a great new line of vehicles from Honda that could end up further kicking our otherwise good for nothing domestic car companies' asses harder into the ground. Found this baby from a link at the Advice Goddess. As a side note, after looking at the pictures of her Honda Insight... I just don't understand how someone could feel safe in one of those. They make my 2007 Civic Ex Coup look like a SUV.
That car reminds me of a breed of dog - beer dog...ummm

Why am I double posting all the darn time???!!!
I don't know. When you click on the "Post" button, just click on it once and move your cursor away from the button. I think you're clicking on it more than once by accident.
You do realize that the Japanese government dumps about a trillion (US) dollars into their auto industry each year, don't you? That was back when our dollar was (more) solid too, don't know what it's inflated to at this time.
A trillion reasons why their cars outcompete ours. I swear this government, both dem and rep, are dumping industry from here. They are trying, and suceeding in changing our economy, but to what I don't know. Finances? Trade? Technology?
