OK, so it’s weird that a car website employs someone that doesn’t understand why it’s designed the way it is -- in the States the Brake lights can’t be on any movable part, which is why they’re off on the sides like that.

Literally, this. I bought a 2012 Focus Titanium in early 2011 and was one of the first in the state to get it. 3 weeks after taking possession I had to take it back because of the shuttering. On top of the MyFord Touch system locking up all the time (calling people without telling me, playing music louder and louder…

Sorry...where did my comment go? I wasn’t even *linking* to my application...I was noting that I had created an application years ago with this same name that did more.

When I saw a post about “SteamMover” on Lifehacker, I thought someone had gained access to the application I had created 4 years ago by the name. Mine is actually much better than the one you linked, since it doesn’t create SymLinks...it actually moves the game to the new location, with associated configuration files…

While the morality of a corporation trying to make money is irrelevant, how they do it absolutely is. Just like Philip Morris in the 60s and 70s, there comes a point where the practices of a corporation spawn moral objection, because what they’re doing is severely taking advantage in a way that can’t be helped.

I’m not sure any car in the VW/Audi lineup puts the shifting paddles on the steering column...my S4 has them on the steering wheel, as well.

Oh, forgot the “tablet mode” business. I thought I’d never use it but I travel for a living and I couldn’t be happier to just detach the keyboard when flying to watch a movie, or even just plug it in backwards so the thing can be placed on the tray table with the screen in front, at any angle I’d like. I watched…

Speaking as someone that has owned at least 6 Macbooks (most Pro), I currently use a Surface Book and it is, BY FAR, the best laptop I’ve ever owned. The build quality is unparalleled, even by Apple, and it’s insanely powerful. On top of it, I get a solid 12 hours of battery life, the screen is unbelievable, and the…

Actually, that’s not true, either. Most of the laws aren’t about using the left-hand lane only for passing (since that would be very ambiguous), but are more-often specifically about moving to the right if someone is overtaking you. Very rarely does it state “unless you happen to be passing”.

You are absolutely, unequivocally, incorrect.

I don’t even drive a BMW, but this nonsense is getting old. I have many friends that drive BMWs and have had no trouble at all. I prefer Audi purely because of the Quattro and looks, but I would have been fine buying a BMW if I just preferred the looks more.

There’s one enormous issue with them hacking in through the UConnect system: The WiFi isn’t enabled if the car isn’t on. They can’t just walk up and hack into the thing, because the connections would be disabled.

Ya...I haven’t valeted my car in years. I’ll hit the valet stand, drop off the date, and ask the valet where I should park my car. I’ll still give the guy a few $ so they’re not at least losing the tip from it, but no chance they’re driving my car or holding my fob.

Now they’re the same size as other table saws, and the module needing to be replaced only costs $60. That’s totally worth it.

This. I live in Cleveland and work in a fairly affluent suburb. When we go out to lunch to the outdoor mall, there are at least 10-15 supercars driving around. Almost daily there are at least a few Maseratis, a few Ferraris, an ungodly number of high-end Porsches (including a few Carrera GTs), and the occasional Lambo.

I suffer from absolutely no allergies, whatsoever, but I would stand up and make sure the people clapping understood what uncaring and ridiculous human beings they are. Absolutely disgusting that people think it’s acceptable to act that way.

Dang...not bad at all. Just recently bought an Audi S4 for around $55k after everything (got a huge discount). Don’t get me wrong...I’m still glad I have the Quattro system, but this thing looks like a crazy amount of fun.

I don’t understand your post...what does having autistic children that love computers have to do with using mobile data? Do you not know how WiFi works? Or if you happen to be out in the wild where WiFi might not be available, Verizon and the others have plans to enjoy a MiFi (mobile hotspot) with a high data usage…

Seriously, this. If a man says "Women are sluts", you can be guaranteed someone will chime in and say "Not all women". If someone makes a racist comment about any specific racial group, you can be guaranteed someone will chime in and say "Not all <insert people group here>".

lol I love how everyone is completely for Tom in this thread and now thinks Sam Biddle is the dick. For reference, I'm completely for Tom too.
