I’ve said it before - my favorite thing about Musk is that he’s basically one volcano-lair short of being an awesome Bond villain.

Something something... SoCal winter... something something Miata.
Exactly. If it hadn’t already been done, I’d have had to do it.
Yep, me too. Going to be there for *hours*...
Hardtop option?
Ball joints and CV axles on a 2003 Astro Van. Hands down, the hardest, most humiliating job I’ve ever tackled.
‘82 240 here.
I’ve been doing this for a few years now.
It's called the Bushranger X-Jack: http://www.amazon.com/Billet4x4-BUSH…
You forgot the infamous VANOS seals on the later models. I did those seals in my wife's 325i and my Z3 3.0i coupe.
One of the things that almost scuttled Google's original acquisition of Motorola was the whole Set-Top story. Motorola's big customers (Comcast, Cox, TimeWarner, etc.) were VERY unhappy about the concept of buying their settops from a company that would also be trying to compete with them via GoogleTV. In order to…
Looks like a great idea, and I've done something similar myself - built around a zippered "admin pouch", but you really have to run the numbers on something like this and check what you're getting. D-Link says that you can use two 1.2A ports in there, along with everything else, but the label on the AC adapter in…
The one problem here is attempting to compare the user/ownership experience of new technology to 100-year-old technology. Try to remember what life was like for the people on the bleeding edge of technology at the dawn of the 20th century - The Automobile was a technological extravagance that only the wealthy could…
Count me among those who STILL gets goosebumps during that speech. The rest of the movie has devolved into unintentionally funny in places (Welcome to Erf!), but Pullman's delivery of that speech still holds up.
Interestingly, my 3rd party dialer (TouchPal Contacts) ADDS this vulnerability. I hadn't yet selected a default handler for that particular action, so I still get the prompt to use TouchPal or the stock dialer. Get the safe behavior with the stock dialer, but the un-safe action with TouchPal. Since it's very easy…
My money is on Lauda - mostly because Lauda talked about having memory of the crash and subsequent fire. To have those memories in your head, not to mention seeing the "evidence" every time you look into the mirror, then climb back into a car and go again takes the most guts, IMHO.
I've not spent a lot of time on io9 lately - has anyone figured out if SM Stirling is getting a royalty check out of this? Seems awfully similar to "the Change" series of novels. Given that this show is set 15 years after "whatever", I'm guessing it will suffer from the same problems as his novels: "Dies the Fire",…
Mind blown. I'm usually so good at spotting people under the make up. That one I didn't see.
Partially because I don't personally know a SINGLE person who rides bikes who hasn't been down at least once.
