My beloved 2000 Honda Insight has finally decided to give out on me, so I'm looking for a worthy replacement. I had wanted to wait to get a new car until the all-electric market opened up some, but unfortunately, I need to start looking now, and there's no real infrastructure for electric cars in my area yet. So what hybrid currently provides the best overall value? I'm on a bit of a budget, so I'm looking for something preferably in the $20k to $25k range, with $30k as my upper limit. Most of my driving consists of a 30 minute commute to work, mostly on local highways and suburban streets.

So... Should I get a Honda Insight, Honda Civic Hybird, Toyota Prius, or something else?

My vocabulary is failing me. There is a concept in either Hindu or Buddhist belief in which an idea can become real if enough people believe in it, but I can't remember the name for such a construct, and web searches so far haven't come up with anything.

I'm getting a PS3, and have a 250GB external hard drive I'd like to use as extra storage. I'd prefer to format the drive as something other than FAT32 -- partially because of FAT32's 4GB file size limit (since I have some rather large HD video files I've recorded with my DVR), but primarily because I really don't like having to periodically defrag hard drives. The drive is currently formatted as NTFS, which I know the PS3 can't read, so I'm going to have to reformat it anyway to use it with the PS3. I'm dual-booting Ubuntu (Linux) on my laptop and have the ext3 driver installed for Windows, so formatting the external drive as ext2 or ext3 wouldn't be a problem.

So does anyone know whether a PS3 can use an external drive formatted as either ext2 or ext3?

Several months ago, I came across a website advertising, I believe, an upcoming movie. The trailer on the website started with children, or maybe just a little girl, in the (English?) countryside. She/they look up, and see a (German?) paratrooper. As the paratrooper glides slowly closer, you see that the uniform is ragged, and the soldier is clearly dead -- a zombie. The camera pans up, and the sky is filled with zombie paratroopers.

I don't know if this trailer was for a real film or was a standalone short, but it was extremely cool, and I'd like to find it again. I've tried searching for every variation of "zombie paratrooper invasion trailer" I can think of, to no avail. Can anyone tell me where to find this clip?
