Yep, I've called 911 plenty when I see a driver swerving like that. The worst that can happen is it turns out it's just a shit driver and you were wrong. But odds are something is definitely up here.

I was pulled over recently and to this day I have no idea what I did wrong. My buddy was behind me to verify that I did nothing wrong. I turned left from a one way, to a one way and got pulled over immediately after that. The office said I turned left on a red light and I can't do that, I explained that "I thought I…

Actually I don't have to buy the tools because I already have them in my shop. Why don't I go build a better board instead of sitting in front of my computer? Because... I don't skateboard, I don't have any desire to skateboard and I certainly don't feel like building a heavy solid wood skate deck. I like to work on…

I think these stats are pulled out of the writers bum. Or poorly researched. How do I know? They priced Stark's Cobra at $45,000... that would be the price of a Factory 5 kit assembled really well. Stark doesn't do kit cars, I'm betting he has (in hypothetical land) an all original AC Cobra. That being the case you're…

It's not necessarily the receiver that is the bottleneck, it's usually the pipeline at the receiver that causes the issue. So more receivers feeding into the same bottleneck wouldn't change a thing. As I stated earlier at the 12 hours of Sebring cell phones are useless... but we (the spectators at the race) are 10:1…

isn't UHF really slow in terms of data? Like slower then dial up... I would think renting a dedicated line on a low earth orbit satellite (Like the stuff Inmarsat offers with the BGAN network) while expensive would be a much more stable/easy way of doing it. What company do you work for if you don't mind me asking. I…

I attend the 12 Hours of Sebring with my best friend and 160,000 of our closest friends. We drink, we party, and we always let the loved ones know that making a phone call/sending a text anywhere near the time of the race is damned near impossible. On race day, forget about it. It took me two hours to send one…

I would think a dedicated BGAN or similar network/signal type low earth orbit satellite could be used exclusively for the events that need it. BGAN might be total overkill for this setup, but since the TV stuff is being bounced off a low earth orbit sat I don't see why this can't be applied to a separate GPS network.…

I went on there website. Take a wild ass guess what one of these boards cost. I guessed $50, since it takes about 1 hour total to complete a board (judging by how they're being done that's a pretty good estimate), so if they make $30 out of the that $50 they're doing well. Whelp, I was way off, they're asking $195...…

OK that's awesome.

Yeah, having read both of Lutz's books that man just didn't care what people thought of him. He was brash, rude, but god dammit he had a key roll in turning GM around. I disagree with the post saying GM has bad PR, if this were 2006... I'd agree. Having worked in the industry for a good few years I can honestly say…

Well, it initially was cheap... it was lime green, with a 327 and someone had done some bondo work to it. My dad and I convinced my mom it would be good for me to "learn how to tinker on cars" when I was a Freshmen in high school. By my senior year it looked like that, had a 396 (with a fairly wicked cam), cut offs,…

The best possible option is using a good router and DD-WRT. I have a draft N Linksys router with DD-WRT installed, I did some research on the forums to figure out how to tweak everything for my setup and it's been great! I have absolutely no complaints.

It's a decent idea, my problem is I hate wearing coats/vests, even in the dead of winter if I'm just running out to grab the mail or something I go out in a t-shirt and jeans. Hell I barely even wear my ski coat (I have a light jacket that keeps me plenty warm 95% of the time). I certainly wouldn't be able to wear…

I misunderstood your comment then. I thought you were suggesting that a user could plug a phone cord in to the back of there computer and instantly have internet (the 'your paying twice for the same service' part is what threw me off). I agree that using your local phone company back in the day was always cheaper and…

He was lying. AOL has to verify your account exists, hence the reason you would log-in and then it would dial, it would authentic your account. If you missed a bill you could no longer access the internet, if you canceled it would be the same thing. Just having a number to dial does not mean you'll be able to connect.…

Just pointing out that you're a lawyer (or work in the legal field) yet posted openly online that you break the TOS of three video service providers. I'm most certainly not a lawyer but that doesn't sound like the best thing to do. And I assume you only use torrents to download 100% legal stuff, no breach of the DMCA.

Except providers like Hughesnet, which are relatively cheap (around $50-60 a month) and relatively fast (blazingly fast compared to dial up).

As other commenters have pointed out there's always Hughesnet, $39.99 introductory rate and 59.99 after that (equipment is included with a contract). That gets you 1Mbps down 200Kbps up which is nothing to shake a stick at, those aren't half bad speeds. Sure my Fios is faster and cheaper but I live in a major urban…
