The stupid car thing bugs me also. The odd thing is that the dealership associations are actually lobbying to keep this law in place. They want to close one day a week so that they don't have to hire as many people. Of course they can't just voluntarily stay closed on Sunday, because some dealership would opt to…

Because they are British and they drive on the left side of the road with intersection priority given to the vehicle on the left (when both arrive at the same time). Maritime and Aviation is internationally standardized with priority given to the one on the right.

Wow. Lots of bites. Well done.

Don't know about data but: "That is why a phone call from a customer of one phone company can reliably reach a customer of a different one, and why you will not be penalized solely for calling someone who is using another provider." Obviously doesn't apply to wireless networks at this time as calling out of network…

The boats look like Moran (the M on the stack is a giveaway). They have a lot of tugs in that area. Up to 6,000 HP through a "Z-Drive" that allows thrust in any direction (full 360 degree rotation).

"I don't believe Bale rejected it because he wasn't worthy"

"Also, what flies at only 111mph?"

Sorry, my sarcasm detector is a little flaky today so I'm not sure of your intent. That would be a completely asinine design implementation, to limit the elevation of an AA platform to that extent, that's only around 15 degrees above horizontal.

Very similar to the launch escape system used on the Apollo missions 40 years ago.

If you are stuck out in the desert and are really that desperate, create a solar still to evaporate the water out of the urine.

In two person, side by side cockpits like airliners, even ones with traditional yokes, there is usually only one set of throttles and they are in the middle.

Challenge accepted, I read the post. I'm sorry for your loss, I know from personal experience that the loss of a parent can be very traumatic.

I didn't bother reading the article because the headline was annoying enough to get me to comment. You don't know what I think or feel about voice mail. And even if my thoughts would happen to line up with your assumptions that doesn't necessarily make them wrong, it just makes you sound arrogant. That type of…

Not justifying it, but... They want the pictures, the whole contacts list (not just what is sync'd), IM history for all IM apps

I think it was just the tradition of good/bad ping-pong. They are just skipping the good one between the two terrible releases.

I got to cruise around for a couple of years on a luxury yacht. It wasn't as much fun as it sounds. The stops are more fun than the actual cruising.

I appreciate your point, but I stand by my analogy. In this case, I would guess that the author's use of the word "tank" has served its purpose as it has driven discussion and page hits. I wouldn't call them the same ballpark unless every vehicle used somewhere in the world by some military or paramilitary…

A Bearcat doesn't do anywhere near the same job as a Tank. A Bearcat is a ground vehicle with rubber tires that carries a number of people around and provides some protection from small arms fire, but no offensive capability. Its offensive capability is strictly limited to the people carried inside. The purpose of…

"Bearcats are also a lot like tanks"
