especially not hot ones

girls dont fart, poop or burp

not thinkin so...if it was a fri or sat, id be on it though. gonna try to get a few things done.

you should read more chris...mj put one together for around 845

does it come with the white trash chick on the back?

you just jinxed it

poop

this is true. but there are no scary boobs when you can "sculpt" them to look how you want

sluts

You have a few options, but it depends on how computer savvy you are. Before anything, I'd try a repair install like cdub said, but alot of people don't have those anymore and going around to find one will take as much time as my next option. I have burned CDs for XP and Vista, if needed. The other option: Ubuntu Live and Windows PE are bootable "live" (meaning they don't need to be installed, the run directly from memory + the media device they are on) operating systems that you can have on CD or a thumb drive. Then you can use that OS + some type of external media (USB hard drive or thumb drive) to copy all your stuff off that you need and then you can format your hard drive and start over without losing anything. I'm assuming that's why you said formatting isn't an option.

it smells like bigfoot's dick

damn...ive been lookin for that key

im pitiful i guess if i find something better than sleeping, ill stay up a little later

http://news.cnet.com/8301-11386_3-10232101-76.html Zippy electric motorcycle comes at a price by Mats Lewan The electric Zero S, by Santa Cruz-based Zero Motorcycles (Credit: James Martin/CNET) The Zero S electric motorcycle is impressive, but be careful with the throttle--it accelerates superfast from a standing start--and keep in mind that it weighs only 225 pounds. Those are the initial observations of this first-time rider, who took the street model made by Santa Cruz, Calif.-based Zero Motorcycles out for a spin. It's an odd feeling to twist the throttle and feel the powerful acceleration (62.5 pound-feet of torque) and still hear no sound except a slight clanking from the chain, not yet lubricated on this pre-production vehicle. Making tight turns is a little tricky, as there's no clutch (and no gears). But once you get used to it, it's just like an ordinary street motorcycle. That's the point. In contrast with Zero's earlier off-road model Zero X, which is not intended for road use, Zero S is made for daily use, such as commuting or making trips up to 60 miles, which is the maximum range on a single charge (complete charging takes 4 hours on 110 volts). According to Zero Motorcycles CEO Gene Banman, the Zero S is the first in its class ready to ship. Competitors would be the Strada from Swiss Quantya, X Rider from Xtreme Green Products, and the VX1 from Vectrix Electronics. But the Zero S is the only typical street bike among them, and it's also the most powerful of the four, with 31 horsepower. Still it's not the Tesla of motorcycles. Maximum speed averages 60 mph, though it can reach 70 mph, making it less practical for highway use. Going to work with no local emissions might ease your environmental scruples. Measured on the U.S. electricity grid, Banman estimates the Zero S releases just an eighth of the total carbon dioxide of a gas motorcycle. But it comes at a price. Zero S ships at $9,950, roughly $4,000 more than an equivalent 250 cc gas motorcycle. Direct competitors include the Honda 230M ($5,400) and the Yamaha WR 250X ($6,200). Considering that the cost per mile for charging is about 1 cent, the Zero S saves about 4 cents a mile compared to a gas motorcycle. Riding 10 miles from home to work and back would require some 20 years of commuting to break even with riding a conventional, gas-powered machine. Once you factor in a U.S. tax credit of 10 percent, and a $1,500 rebate from California Air Resources Board if you live in the state, however, it might take just seven years to break even. But that doesn't include the cost of the 80-pound battery that needs replacement every five years. The battery costs some $5,000, though Banman hopes that will come down drastically in a few years. It's worth noting that both the motor and the battery are modular and easily exchangeable--a configuration intended to make the Zero S more sustainable in the future development of electric vehicles. It also makes the motor and battery easier to fit and remove for service on a machine that may be shipped a long way from California. "We have about a hundred orders for Zero S already that we will ship during May and June. About 40 percent are from California but the rest are spread all over the world," Banman said. He added that the breakthrough for electric vehicles was the lithium ion cells for power tools that reached the market in 2004. He expects a real boom once energy density increases from today's 120-watt hours per kg to 500-watt or 600-watt hours, which is the same performance delivered by gasoline. "At that point there will be a switch. There will be more electrical vehicles than gas vehicles," he said. A threatening scenario comes from a study commissioned by the World Wildlife Foundation in Germany. It predicts that if electric vehicles become a massive success, when everyone charges their vehicles after returning home, societies will require huge carbon-based electricity production, resulting in higher carbon dioxide emissions per mile from electric vehicles in 2020 than from gas vehicles today. If that's true, you'd better enjoy your electric motorcycle as soon as possible. A quiet motorcycle (Credit: James Martin/CNET)

But those risks don't apply in the U.S., the American electric-car lobby asserts. (Credit: J?rgen Matijevic/WWF) The German branch of the environmental group World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) has conducted a study together with IZES, a German institute for future energy systems, on the environmental impact of electric vehicles in Germany. Just like the U.S., Germany has an ambitious goal of introducing electric vehicles. Germany, which today has 41 million cars, aims to have 1 million electric cars or plug-in hybrid vehicles on the road by 2020. The conclusion of the study is that these electric cars only reduce greenhouse gases marginally. The study, which was published in German in March, has not been widely circulated in English yet. The WWF Germany said a summary in English is set for publication this summer. "What surprised us was that the carbon dioxide savings were so small," Viviane Raddatz, vehicle expert at WWF Germany, said in a phone interview from Berlin. In a best-case scenario, the WWF assumes that the 1 million electric cars or plug-in vehicles would be running on renewable electricity and used at maximum mileage. Electric vehicles do not yet have the range of regular cars. The carbon dioxide emission reductions from these 1 million electrical vehicles in Germany's transportation sector would be only 1 percent, according to the study, and overall national carbon dioxide emissions would only be cut by 0.1 percent. "That is not a very big deal," Raddatz said, adding that "it is not going to help us out of the transportation emission mess." Worst-case scenario A worst-case scenario would be that the electric cars would run on electricity from coal instead of from renewable sources. That could be the case when extra electricity is needed to charge the plug-in cars in the early evening. That's when commuters could significantly add to the electricity demand at a time of day when people are returning home and electricity use is already peaking. Today, the German plants that deliver marginal electricity are fueled by coal. That is the main problem, according to the study. The research adds that to produce the same amount of energy, coal emits more carbon dioxide than even gasoline. "The irony is that you don't need a lot more electricity for electric cars," Raddatz, said. "But the problem is that if they cause these peaks, we would have to have power plants that would be ready to start (as) the massive charging starts." An electric car with a lithium ion battery powered by electricity from an old coal power plant could emit more than 200g of carbon dioxide per km, compared with current average gasoline car of 160g of carbon dioxide per km in Europe, according to the study. The European Union goal for 2020 is 95g of carbon dioxide per km. Load management needed The WWF said smart systems that help manage the energy load and battery charge systems could smooth the peaks overnight. With more than 1 million vehicles plugged in, load management is essential, but a smart grid is not enough, according to the study. A lot of electricity storage is needed as well. "Car batteries are one thing, but you need to develop other kinds of storage as well," Raddatz said. You want to make sure you can get a lot of energy from renewable or you have no CO2 savings." Germany has voted to phase out nuclear power by 2020, so the WWF has not considered that energy source in its study after 2020. As mentioned before, the WWF assumes that only half the current transportation system could be replaced by electric cars. The study says that with electric cars' present range they could only replace, at best, half of the kilometers driven. President Obama has set a goal for the U.S. to have 1 million electric vehicles by 2015. The Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA), the lobby organization for electric cars in the U.S., said that the risks raised by the WWF study in Germany will not be the same in the U.S. "For the U.S., there will be environmental benefits because the grid is getting cleaner," said Jennifer Watts, spokeswoman for EDTA. She quotes a study by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory saying that 73 percent of light-duty vehicles could be connected to the grid today without a problem, and that an EPRI study shows that each region of the country will yield reductions in greenhouse gas emissions when the electric car is introduced. Still a place for electric cars The German study--which limited its scope to studying energy efficiency and did not consider the economics of electric vehicles--does not rule out the electric car. It emphasizes that electric cars could have a future role for low-carbon urban transport for individuals. It also suggests that marginal electricity should come from a clean source and a smart grid, with smart load management needed. But that system would take a long time to develop, the study stresses. "The electric car is a serious option for low-carbon future transportation," Raddatz said, "but must be linked with renewable energy to make the difference."

2009 cbr1000rr's are sexy but i cant believe they gave up the undertail exhaust the 600s still have it :???:

http://www.wired.com/table_of_malcontents/2006/11/robot_identifie/ Robot Identifies Human Flesh As Bacon Let the robot holocaust commence: robots think we taste like bacon. Researchers at NEC System technologies and Mie University have designed the cute little guy to the right: a metal man gastronomist, “an electromechanical sommelier”, capable of identifying wines, cheeses, meats and hors d’oeuvres. Upon being given a sample, he will speak up in a childlike voice and identify what he has just been fed. The idea is that wineries can tell if a wine is authentic without even opening the bottle, amongst other more obscure uses…like “tell me what this strange grayish lump at the back of my freezer is/was.” But when some smart aleck reporter placed his hand in the robot’s omnivorous clanking jaw, he was identified as bacon. A cameraman then tried and was identified as prosciutto. Absolutely horrifying. Like cows, once robots taste blood, their hunger for human flesh can never be satiated.

http://www.crookedbrains.net/2008/09/ballpoint-pen.html These may look like photographs, but these amazing pictures are the creation of the Spanish artist Juan Francisco Casas, who creates his large artworks using just a blue ballpoint pen. He uses up to four 14p ballpoints on one picture, and his works are already a sell-out at exhibitions and gets up to £3,750 each. Formerly a traditional painter, Juan began the drawings three years ago based on photographs of nights out with his friends. His photo realistic ballpoint pen drawings are based on the incredible detail photos that he takes on his camera. We have seen many artists who can drawings of lifelike figures, but not with blue Bic pen! (Image credit: haha). (Image credit: designboom).
