Isn't that why the insurance companies who insure cars like that have coverage for diminished value in the case of an accident?

I was stuck in incredibly slow moving traffic on a long exit ramp. Bored, and trying to keep myself occupied at the 2mph pace, when rolling foward I would sharply steer left and right, so that even though I was in the same lane, I'd be rocking the car left and right. Then the car behind me started doing it too. And so…

Someone in the other page addressed this comment, but basically it would be close to impossible to implement for at least the next generation of mail trucks. The problem is the power grid. Putting in enough chargers(and ones powerful enough to get the trucks charged for the next day of deliveries) would be the…

It's a shame that the stuff that I buy from Amazon (namely electronic components) probably won't be in their brick and mortar store, but I am looking forward to being able to get some things in store, but at amazon's price. That, and having an amazon locker(or 3, hopefully, since the ones near me are ALWAYS full),…

Google is a big data company. Their experience in search has made them one of the world leaders in collecting absurdly large amounts of data, and then having the computing power to correlate results. It's what makes search so well, It's what makes advertising so well, and it's why Google would be successful with…

I was going to argue that there would be some people who would care, but seeing as they would first have to own an odyssey to care, they must have already given up on life.

My 02 Subaru has DRL's that are on whenever the handbrake is disengaged. Headlights are manual though. (although the headlights turn off when you turn the car off, so you could supposedly always leave your headlights switched on).

Well this might be a pain for those android devices that either have their charging ports on the side, or are "upside down". For instance, Samsung devices have the widest side of the micro usb port closest to the back of the phone. My Nexus 6, and an old HTC EVO 3D have it the other way around, which would put the…

Hola unblocker sometimes stops working for bbc iplayer. I signed up for www.privateinternetaccess.com for other reasons(mostly to conceal my torrenting, etc.) for $40/year and it works great for all sorts of "tv-on-the-internet" things, as well as torrenting. when you click connect in your menu bar, you choose the…

Philly gets enough snow for it to not be an issue. It flurried here all day today, no big deal. It takes a really heavy storm for anything to stick on the streets; they stay nice and warm from the steam pipes, subways, etc.

From the sounds of this article, the problem isn't the easiest to fix. It's not just going to be installing AV software on all the servers and PCs. If the entirety of Sony's networks could be accessed from a single breach, their internal networks are poorly architected. Along with having to redesign the network,…

If you're building a PC, here's one thing that might NOT pay for itself over time: Spending the extra money to get an i7 processor over the i5. For instance, you can compare the $219 Intel Core i5-4670 vs the $309 Intel Core i7-4770. These processors are nearly identical in performance. The only major difference is…

A cheaper option for those just looking for a daily pair of sneakers, look no further than the $85 Chrome Industries, Particularly the Timur. Instead of most shoes where the rubber sole is glued to the top of the shoe, these are forged, where the rubber is pressed through the top of the shoe(which is fire hose…

I'm just going off of what it took for me to get a CableCard from comcrap. Because it was that ridiculous. They even said they had to send a technician out to "install the CableCard" into the cable box. I can update this with the Comcast experience come Thursday though...

+1 for SSD. They're fairly cheap nowadays, if you have PC running Windows and has a second gen core i processor(sandy bridge) or newer, you can pop in a 64GB SSD and get a huge boost with a 3 minute configuration using Intel Smart Response.

This. I got rid of my cable boxes with an HDHR Prime. With Comcast your first M-Card is free. I have high throughput wifi equipment, plus a gigabit wired network. I can watch TV on my phone, tablet and PC. Even better, I have an old Core 2 Duo equipped HP workstation PC with half a GB of ram. I have Windows Media…

Comcrap charges $10 for their pretty terrible modem/wifi gateway. I actually just bought the Motorola Surfboard on Woot. It comes in Thursday, but I suspect that it will take 11 phone calls and some tech to come to my house before it works, and then another 4 months before the rental fee is no longer applied to my…

I have always heard that especially for a high mileage car, if it has dino oil, stick with that. If it has synthetic, stick with that. It's not necessarily a bad thing to switch, the residual oil mixing with your new oil could slightly change the viscosity or otherwise make the oil not as effective. But this was info…

A lot of scripting deployment options for cloud services use RoR. Seeing as everybody is moving to the cloud, it makes sense.
