| | | | | June 2004: Encyclopedia II - PlayStation 2 - History The PlayStation 2 had a difficult start. Only a few million users had obtained consoles by the end of 2000 due to manufacturing delays. The PlayStation 2 was such a hot item after its release that it was near impossible to find one on retailer shelves, leaving those wanting a PlayStation 2 to either wait or purchase the console online at sites such as eBay, where the console was being sold by many people for twice and sometimes five times as much as the manufacturer's listed price. Developers also complained that it was difficult to develop ...

| | | | | June 2004: Encyclopedia II - The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy - The fictional universe of The Grim Adventures Most of the show is set in Billy and Mandy's hometown of Endsville, a typical "Anytown, USA" in an indeterminate location. The age of the town is also indeterminate, as it has appeared in flashbacks of Billy's dad's youth (The Taking Tree), the early 1900s (Who Killed Who?), and medieval times (Billy and Mandy's Jacked Up Halloween). Grim ostensibly comes from the Underworld, so the show makes frequent forays onto his turf. Grim's scythe is able to produce cosmic rifts through which the characters can visit different pla ...

| | | | | June 2004: Encyclopedia II - Criticisms of the War on Terrorism - Methods Many people contend that a "war" against terrorism is plainly wrong since terrorist attacks are considered criminal acts like murder and therefore should be investigated by the police with the perpetrators brought to justice and given a fair trial in a court of law. The use of the military often escalates violence by killing civilians and potentially creating more terrorists out of bereaved individuals seeking revenge, creating what ha ...

| | | | | June 2004: Encyclopedia II - The Stone Roses - History Formed during the early-1980s from the remnants of a local Manchester band called 'The Patrol' (among other early names such as 'The Waterfront'), the band's line-up featured Ian Brown (vocals), John Squire (guitar), Gary Mounfield - "Mani" (bass), and Alan Wren - "Reni" (drums).

| | | | | June 2004: Encyclopedia II - Soham murders - The Trial Huntley's defence conceded that he disposed of the girls' bodies and that they were in his house when they died. However, he claimed that Holly Wells accidentally fell in the bath and drowned and that Jessica Chapman was then so distressed that he had to restrain her to stop her screaming, but accidentally did this so forcefully that she too died. This led him to plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter, but the jury rejected his story and found him guilty of the murder of both girls.
Huntley was convicted on December 17, 2003 by two eleven-to-one majority jury verdicts, and on that day b ...

| | | | | | | June 2004: Encyclopedia II - Toyota Prius - 2004 to 2006 Prius The Prius 2004 model was a complete redesign of the previous generations of Prius. The new model is based on the new (third generation) Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD), replacing the earlier Toyota Hybrid System (THS) technology. The first generation (1997 to 2003) could not run its air conditioning unless the motor was running. In contrast, the 2004 model introduced an all-electric compressor for cooling. This allowed more extensive use of the "stealth mode" (operation on electric motor only).
The drag coefficient of 0.26 was now the second-lowest in the ...
