An acquaintance of mine set up an SSH tunnel to his home PC and turns his browser to use the tunnel when accessing private stuff. He said he became paranoid after checking his personal email and clicking on a message from a friend of his that turned out to be spam and he was graced with a warning screen from a proxy…

She's so fond of it...

I'm baffled at people who check out work email in the evening at home or on weekends or, worse, work for an hour or so after hours.

After decades painting the Soviets as more competent than they were in order to convince a gullible population to support propping up the military-industrial complex, what can we do? Let's try something new this century: live peacefully with other countries.

"A.I. Artificial Intelligence", which Spielberg had to add to a Kubrick masterpiece a tear-jerker ending.

C'est un utérus ou ce n'est pas une F12.

On another note, cold you share your transition experience, like how you decided to give sedans a try and what differences you're enjoying the most and the least?

Yes, it had issues, but just look at it!

A colleague of mine was ded set on trucks, even though he lived some 70 miles away from work and spent $400 in gas a month... in 1999, when gas was around $1 per gallon! I lost touch with him, but I wonder if he still drives a truck or has moved, or perhaps he took on farming, because that's all there was where he…

Indeed, all those trucks that Texans love are driven ever more slowly whenever the gallon crosses the $3.00 mark. In particular those expensive trucks that Austinites love. I can't stand these morons in the local roads driving more than they can afford and hogging the roads as a result.

Fiat's has a balance shaft which should address some of the NVH.

Am I the only one who finds it demeaning towards women to celebrate their use as propaganda props to get street cred among your NY peers?

Jockeys.

"Bella, bella." "Cattivo, cattivo."

The government killed the "electric" car redux? :-)

Before breaking it in, which lasted some 5000km, it had very poor mileage for a compact car, at 10km/l around town. But I'm still unimpressed at 12km/l. As I said, my Acura TL, with twice the power and quarter of a ton heavier ticks 11km/l.

When did get your ontological transformation into a person?

Precisely, at $40 grand a bow-tie is no match for a propeller, star or ring.

Indeed, many companies forgo profits on halo cars and use the revenue from larger volume models to cover the losses. I guess that antediluvian pickup trucks have huge margins that perhaps could subsidize the Volt.

I don't know if your Focus is like mine, but it gets the same mileage as my Acura TL with twice the power.
