Interesting thing about fuel economy. When gas prices peaked around four five years back, sales of gas guzzling SUVs plumetted. Prius, I think, showed remarkable sales figures. One fine summer, gas prices fell to earlier levels. Guess what happened. SUVs sales soared once again. Until people feel the pinch, they’ll…

Of course. NPAs would like to pose difficulties at every step though :)

Yeah that is a well known MTCR workaround. The nuke integration is what should worry everyone I think.

Also point to note - From Janes -

A point to note is that export variants of these cruise missiles will be range limited to under 300Km due to MTCR. Also despite being nuclear capable, have the russians ever worked on nuclear integration on these things? (Given the fear of these missiles landing up in Iranian hands and the spectre of them being…

Dating the Mahabharatha is one of the projects that is made possible by the number of astronomical references within it. Comets, positions of stars and lunar month durations etc give pretty distinct reference to time.

This is pretty much what Mangalyaan did isn't it?

So many replies and not one mention of "the fearless hyena" or "snake in the eagles shadow"?

Here's a question I've always had about test drives - How do you differentiate between things that are just different to which you'll get used to with time & deal breakers? For ex, the loaner 2014 accord i got while my 2000 was getting serviced was leagues different. Some I got used to in a couple of days' driving and…

Think we need some of these locos on the light rails -

If they were capable of that level of enforcement, they'd already not have a traffic problem in the first place!

Therein lies the rub. They couldn't be bothered slowing down, moving over or generally 'inconveniencing' themselves and expect the other to do that job. So they honk away rather than driving sensibly and avoiding such instances.

Brilliant. I wonder why they never thought of that!

General traffic communication! That is what I was looking for. Nice phrase.

If people start driving properly, the honking will stop. Honking there, unlike in the US, is not to show displeasure but to tell another that you don't want him to cut you off, that you're there on the road near him, to tell people not to cross the road while you're heading down the street, to show displeasure or just…

While the families could've been better accomodated/situation better handled, the hotel was also apparently an informal center for all the media working on this story. You can boot out the media anytime. I just hope they don't do the usual champagne nonsense for this GP considering the sentiments. Caring and …

F1 traffic surely made it easier for them to start this service. Lots of European visitors.

Texas isnt the only state doing this 'Patrick. New York wants to do the same thing http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/so-new-york-wa…

Chrome latest version, Win 7. Comments are borked. Also, highlights/all replies needs to be up top. If I think a certain topic is going to be interesting with lots of discussions then I want to read through all comments. I don't want to scroll all the way down and then click. Also, who rolls out a new version and…

Also how many injuries and deaths do drunk drivers cause each year? If the most damage a drunk driver can now cause is ending up at the wrong address, then I'm all for it.
