The new Euro Civic hatch is pretty dreadful, especially compared to the previous gen, so I'm honestly not surprised they've sunk to this level considering the stiff competition they face in the market.

Wow, the Peugeot 208XY Professional didn't make it? Shame. Outfit alone was worth a mention.

AutoCAD and Alias have been available on Macs for a few years now, but knowing Apple, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they used something non-industry standard before that, just to avoid PCs.

Ain't no body like a lifting body 'cause a lifting body don't stop...lifting.

I finally got one about 24 hours after I posted this, and close to 30 hours after they posted the "resolved" on the blog.

At least Zappos contacted me to let me know. Despite Dreamhost claiming on their support blog that this issue is "resolved" and that all customers have been emailed, this is most definitely not the case. I haven't received any notice, and judging from the comments on their site, neither have many other customers.

It has been especially foggy here this past week, and yesterday I was out on the roads and for the most part everyone was driving at completely normal speeds (100kph here in my part of NL). Saw one dickhead in a 5 series driving about 130 without his headlights on though.

The Pacific is a big, big place. It seems to me that if they stay clear of major shipping lanes there's little risk.

Just for the record, a lot of those "unpadlocked" wifi networks are not free or open, they simply require you to log on through your browser before connecting. I frequently see airports, hotels, or restaurants that appear to have "free" wifi, but in fact have some kind of browser-based paywall.

Not trolling, not liking.

So they've stripped away every bit of production bodywork and it still looks crap? Does not bode well for production...

Or it may have to do with the fact that much of the design community (product and transportation design especially) is taught to sketch with a biro, so they went with what they thought their early-adopting customer base would use.

Looks like they may have plucked some of those "aesthetic statements" directly from this armored vehicle I designed for MotorStorm: Apocalypse.

or, you know, a big violin.

What I'm saying is that ugly AWD cars is a small niche, and if that's all they want to play in, I think they're going to have trouble surviving this economy.

It really says something about Subaru that a car this blatantly ugly, awkward, and downright offensive to the eyes could be considered an improvement over the previous generation. It looks like someone made a paper airplane out of a sketch of a decent hatchback and then built the folded version.

I think you will agree that I clearly said I thought the restaurant should talk to the bartender first, and that I also said (in my reply) that without knowing what was said on the telephone call that I wasn't taking sides. My point is simply that this probably wasn't good for PR and could have almost surely been…

If you're going to bitch about a place, it always makes sense to @ the restaurant so they can see if other people are having similar problems, etc.. Assuming the customer is the problem and throwing her out without addressing a potential douchebag employee is bad business. Wouldn't you @ Comcast if you were tweeting…

Maybe the restaurant should have spoken to the bartender and asked him to be less of a douche first? Well, I'm sure that all of the great publicity they're getting from this will affirm the restaurant's decision.

That is what the marshall was doing, but I doubt it had anything to do with the explosion since it's an electronic button, as far as I know. Just coincidence.
