I love a good roundabout. I first encountered them while driving in the UK on my honeymoon. They make so much sense. And they scale very well, too. In tiny villages a post marks the middle and it doesn't take much more room than a 4 way stop. In the bigger cities it might be 7 lanes with traffic signals radiating…

I've always been a sucker for the Dragon Motors cars

The Messerschmitt KR175 or KR200 that Cousin Itt drove in Addams Family

Kat must not be a math major; $25 to $50 million times four is up to $200 million.

Bernie wasn't wearing a safety belt. And only the presenters were required to wear crash helmets?

That was good.

Yeah, but try that on a motorcycle.

I agree. Also a much more accessible option than the Audis and BMWs everyone else is throwing around.

I own one. It needs restored, but it is so unique and a joy to drive. Too bad it requires 92+ octane and lead substitute while getting about 9mpg with that naturally-aspirated 455 in there.

Laura Grego says that it is a very inefficient way to "counterspace" operations... but it is probably the only way to do one of the most beneficial counterspace tactics. Imagine creeping up on an enemy spy, communication, or weapon satellite, stowing it onboard, and returning it to friendly soil for analysis. Not only…

You are one hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.

I'm not commenting at all on the relevancy of Hulu Plus... just agreeing that Netflix will have a harder time acquiring and keeping content from a dominant position and citing a pertinent and timely example of that happening.

It is hard to believe this is from 1994. I give you the 17 year old Audi Quattro V8.

It is already happening. Just last week Criterion (of the Criterion Collection DVDs/BluRays) pulled all of its content from Netflix and moved it to Hulu Plus.

It's really a win-win, then. But I do see a trend toward longer battery life, even without this new technology. In the past 6 or 7 years, notebooks have gone from an average of 1.5-2 hrs of battery life to 4-8 hours. So the engineers aren't completely eating up the battery performance gains in performance.

2nd.
