...And that's why we Brits say you drive on the wrong side of the road. If that had been a right-hooker, she'd have had a whole car between her and the semi.

Definitely inexperience/bad training. You never go just because a light goes green. Always check there's nothing coming first. Just like when you see a car waiting at a stop line to turn onto the main road you're on, you slow down a little just in case the driver pulls out in front of you at the last minute. It's…

Dual cockpits need to be replaced with one central cockpit - underslung? And I'm thinking that you could largely eliminate the need for separate supersonic control surfaces if you're clever. The engines are going to have to be able to rotate anyway, so that takes care of lateral stability (or do I mean horizontal…

A kin-jar?

Bahdum, and indeed, tsshhh.

And by the way, I hope it's a pork pie hat...

Technically not the same at all. DE-9 and DB-25 describe plugs/sockets, but USB is an entire protocol. D-sub connectors are used for all kinds of different protocols, such as SCSI, VGA, and serial.

You've obviously been going into the wrong kind of bars. Try going into an otter one.

What kind of moron doesn't claim the money back? You're not liable for fraudulent spending unless you actually ok'd it. Is that what you did? If you're out of pocket, it's your own damn fault for doing something incredibly stupid, no doubt.

As the old joke has it, what do you call someone who was bullied a lot at school? A cop.

Eh? Why? Because they have to fill out a simple form and get a new card? It's hardly the violation of the century. Not that having your car joyridden by the police is all that bad, but it actually involves something belonging to you. Having your card cloned is mildly inconvenient at worst.

Here in the UK? Anything with Russian plates.

Heh, hadn't seen that. I guess it's a bit of a love-it/hate-it thing, and none of the reviews was from someone who likes it :)

This is my favourite stout - http://www.sambabeer.com/stud.htm - although even Trinis haven't heard of it, so I doubt it's easy to find anywhere else.

"Jalopnik's rotary-powered El Camino baja racer"

Question: should I buy a Reliant Scimitar shooting brake? Didn't one of the Jalop writers used to have one?

Anyone know how to contact Alex Roy?

The only thing more gangsta than having a tattoo of money on your face is having your face on money.

EMP - electro magnetic pulse. You would need to shield against both the electrical and magnetic components of the pulse, so an underground garage is probably best. Also bear in mind that the length of the conductor matters greatly - most of the conductors in a car are too short to see a significant voltage difference…
