Pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Thank you for your opinion. It has been registered that Flail does not enjoy this comment, but still took the time to read it and comment on it. Your compensation check for the 20 seconds of wasted time on the internet will be sent shortly and should arrive in 8-12 weeks.

Baloney. You can have a fuel gauge in zero-g just fine. The fuel is sealed in pressurized containers, so you'd just need to measure the pressure of the gas inside. A pressure sensor, a temperature sensor (possibly unnecessary), and a couple algorithms are all they'd need.

Yes.

Randomly replacing Latin characters with Cyrillic letters that look similar has always annoyed me. It doesn't make sense in any language.

Did anyone else sing "Oh yeah, alright" at :05 seconds in to this video?

@qontranami: That's weird, mine show external IP, not LAN IP. Even so, I'd bet a connection made from off your LAN (like a thief would make) would show up with external IP regardless, since LAN IPs mean nothing once you're on the other side of the router.

@shkm: Doesn't deleting files on any computer delete them across all Dropbox-registered computers? I thought so, but I'm not going to risk trying it. If so, why would remote wipe be required?

I just don't comprehend the idea of taking a laptop and adding a ton of external peripherals to it. Sure, I could attach a keyboard, a printer, a mouse, external speakers, external hard drives, and a monitor (but probably not two). After I have done all that, what's the purpose of having a laptop in the first place?…

I just recently bought a new laptop that leapfrogged my desktop in performance. This made me think only one thing: time to start saving for a new desktop. A desktop will be my main computer until they are run completely out of existence. Anyone who disagrees has no appreciation for a good keyboard and general…

That's a point of view I hadn't considered. Very interesting, thank you.

Ekranoplanlopnik, lol. That's better than "The Truth About Jalopnik Sucks." Such an inferiority complex, my God.

@murhoy: I think you may have taken my first point a little too seriously. It was merely a "something to think about" proposition. I never implied that the government had any responsibility to fill containers, merely pointing out that the US as a country (which consists of a government, thousands of companies, and…

Back off, I saw it first!

That black W109 is the secks. Dollars to donuts it's a 6.3, too. I'm in love.

By not feeling compelled to actually fill shipping containers on their way back to Taiwan, the US can increase its trade deficit without hurting the environment!

I'm not a big fan of it either, and I'm by no means timid.

Things are going very well. I could totally get used to this place. This isn't Mr. Formerly Known as Snap Oversteer, though. This is Mr. Formerly Known as strangerover, Formerly known as 900pilot, né bkoeth. Sir Bentley Rolls is my monacle-wearing alter ego (what, you don't have one?).

There's a sign up in the automall in Carlsbad, CA too. It's only a printed vinyl banner, but there are a couple of 500s sitting out front. I share your excitement.

I thought I owned the only computer in the State.
